SMALL COURTESY _ - BELONGS TO PAST T‘-————_ 2 People of Today Too Busy for Such Things. If Sir Wult‘fer Ra]gigh placed his coat in the mud for Queen Elizabeth to step| on teday, would her majesty be pushed * aside by some modern knight in a hurry to cross the street? |
If the Holy Grail were a recent product, wuulq it arouse no more comment than any other cup because the value ofi its’ metal would not finance a quest for it? One observer is apprehensive over the passing ‘Lf the age of chivalry. In this age of efliciency, she says, good manners are useless, and they have been abandoned almost altogether in the xpud Scramble for money. “Push, push, push!” is the watchcry today, whether it be on the street, in the subway or on the trolley car, says Elizabetthobins Pennell in the Forum, and when a man does rise to offer his seat to a woman, a rare occurrence, she flops into it hurriedly and without thanks before he has a chance to change his mind. “It would bq‘ folly to expect a man to go to the subway with any knighterrant notions, any tomfool ' courteousness for fihe other man less spry than himself, or the woman less strong,” she _s{ays. “He goes to get his train. If to get it he must knock aside everybody on the stairs to the station, drive a way through the crowd on tht‘plutforflfi, fight like a tiger for
standing room in the car-—what difference, so long as he gets there. “You don’t Ythank him,” one woman in a French caricature reproaches another, just given a seat by a Parisian who has not outlived his manners. ‘No, indeed,’ xs\ the answer, ‘when a woman is too|-polite she seems to show a lack of breeding.’ - “If not to say ‘Thank you’ is a sign of good breeding, we can congratulate ourselves on bging the best-bred of all nations. In the leisurely days of an ulll»l'<,»g'rf:kssi§'e past, ‘Thank youw was one of the fir'st phrases taught to the young. But| the little superfluous phrise is too severe a drain on patience and breath, now that new reasons for thankfulness have multiplied. “At one not-very-distant time, next to no self-respecting American would accept a tip. [Today those of our critics are right in telling us we outdo every other country where tipping is the custom. Tip the shoeblack, the hairdresser, the waiter, the manicurist —and good form does not allow them to notice it in jour presence. “I write my cbngratulations or my sympathy or my interest to friends or strangers on appropriate occasions, and an acknowledgment is so unusual that I prize it as a scientist might some rare specimen of an extinct spdcies.” g e
Secret of Success
Jerome S. McWade, the Duluth millionaire, said at a banquet: “I see that Olltto, Kahn has been telling the Yale boys how he made his first success.!| It was by stamplicking. Otto was the best little stamp-licker in the office, and on that account his boss “promoted him. “All success is as simple as that. Hard work, doing your level best—that’s all there 1"§ to it. Maybe we rich men make a mistake when we tell how we succeeded. It’s so simple —just a matter of work—maybe the world despises us when it learns our secret. o
“A little slum boy once got a two weeks” holiday in| the country. He came back brown and strong, but he was done with milk forever. No more milk for him. No, sir.
“‘l'm done with it,) he sald, ‘I seen how they make it ye know. Why, the durn stuff’s nothin’ but chewed grass.’ ™ ‘\
Teachers’ Scholarship
The Mercy Jane flayes scholarship and student loan fund, to be used for advanced training for the intermediate and senior high-school teachers of Detroit schools, has been recently established by Miss Hayes, who was once principal of the Hutchins Intermediate school. One ‘thousand dollars a year is.to be turned over ‘to the trustees of Teachers’ college, Columbia university, for defraying the expenses of a Detroit teacher at that institution. Advanced work in education must be pursued, and the teacher must return to Detroit and give the schools the benefit of her studies for at least three years after her year at Teachers’ college. |
Leacock Out of Luck
Sir James Barrie refers to the happiest memories of alifetime as “walnuts.” ‘At the request of .a New York columnist a number of noted authors contributed what they considered their own most priceless walnuts for publication. Stephen Leacock, -the Canadian, arrived late. His laconic comment in answer to the request for one instance was, “Haven’t fifead it yet.” This naturally enough . gave rise to the question whether Professor Leacock was a chronic optimist or merely a confirmed humorist.— Saskatoon Star. =

Little Interest in Town Elections ~ Comparatively little interest will be shown in town elections in this vieinity this year. In fact not much has been shown in such contests for several years. Most towns have gotten away from the idea of bitterly partisan local government and in many places but one ticket is placed in the field. In a few instances no nominations are made which condition makes it possible for the incumbents to ‘continue, Nominations of all candidates must be filed with the town clerk twenty days or more before the date of the election which would be not later than Oct: 12. :
