VENEER HOT' DEEP

Scratch the Surface and You'll Find Something Else You Weren't Expecting to See. If Christianity Does Not Spell Courtesy, It Isn't Worth Much.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. A reporter learns a lot of things. Among them that the veneer is not Ctep. And the thinnest where you might expect it to be the thickest in fact when you think it would go clear through to the other side and ooze out of the pores in good works. He finds that the average private citizen cannot be elevated to a position of authority without some damage to his point of view. Even if the authority is not great. And brief. A dog catcher will have a lot more fc'de than the Mayor and the President of the United States alone ranks the garbage man. Humans can't stand it. "I like to run things," said a charming, woman the other day after relating her experiences as chairman of a committee to get up something or other. "So does everybody else," said the other person. The charming woman deprecated this. She didn't want to be like every body else. Didn't want to seem to be herded with the multitude. Preferred an elegant isolation as the only person in the world who liked to "run things." It Is ever thus. We must be different, i We really are all the same but if we think we're different, what's the odds, j However Its only the big soul that crtn stand an election to office. No matter if but the ward meeting or the ladies aid society. The reporter will tell you this. He will tell you, also, that the simplest in manner, easiest of approach and most courteous and accommodating is the really great. If you find somebody harder to get at than the president, of a railroad or the head of a theatrical syndicate and who, when found , puts on "God Aniip.hty" airs put it down on page two el your little book, hardby the black mark that he used to hoe corn in Uncle Abe's back kit or sold peanuts at the entrance to a circus. There ia ho fine lady so haughty as the mistress who has graduated from tbe kitchen to the parlor. The woman who bullyrags her servants, ten to one, l asn't had 'em long. George Ade writes an amusing fable, referred to here before a time or two, about some magnate or celebrity --.ho was in abject terror for fear somebody would find out that the head waiter who was serving the banquet being given in his honor went to echool with him back at the crossroads. In the meantime he writhed undei the calm, amused and derisive p.aze of this functionary who knew he Lad him just "where he wanted him." The reporter has to be "on to his job'." He has to get the news. Its his business. And its what peopje want in the paper no matter how ostentatiously and conspicuously they retire into t'oeir holes upon the sinster and impertinent approach of the low down reporter. The very ones who stop the paper h' cause you forget to include their names "among those present," and the most insistent in their loud and virtu ous lamentations that the papers are full of nothing that's fit to print. The reporter, in the words of Dr. McKinney, of New York, who has been rutting up a pretty good "line of talk" at the Sunday school convention, must "cut his edges straight." And he hasn't all day to do it in cither. Did you ever start out to report a convention that was holding simultaneous sessions in three different churches and known that you had to "cover" it all details and speeches rnd every single infinitesimal item that possessed any significance? Do it in a given time while the city editor and the foreman waited impatiently until you rushed in at the last minute to sit down and arrange your memoranda, whip it into shape on the typewriter, edit it and rush it to the composing-room? . In the meantime you have had nothing to eat since the day before and on ac count of the temperamental peculiarities of your celebrated street-car system have been forced to walk many sun-heated cement blocks which other wise might have been traversed more expeditiously, if somewhat acrobatically on our jerk-water cars? Did you ever do this? The reporter has. And he finds out in the accumulation of his incunabula that he must gird on his armor of indifference to the villainies of the uncou'. Curiously he may find that the socalled "good" people will be the nastiest to handle. That those you expect to be disagreeable will be the nicest.

And has found, almost without exception, that its the first rate people who have the first rate manners. The big official will always be the polite one.

And she freely admits that she rarely ran across a worse 6et than the representatives from the headquarters of the State Sunday School Association in Indianapolis who have been here within the past few days. The representatives of both the city papers, who endeavored in every way possible to get the news and get it with dispatch, met with the utmost rudeness and discourtesy from these people. Both papers had special representa tives at the convention and were pre-! pared and did give much space to this interesting and important affair. But they got the news under difficulties. These two or three individuals voum nave Deen mucn aggrieved ir the city press had given them short shrift ; relegated them to the inside pages and cut them down to the celebrated rtickful. And yet they put on these same ' God A-mighty Airs" when approached for the information that they expect to see played up in the papers. The writer once reported an assemblage of saloon-keepers and has no besitancy in cheerfully testifying to the superior manners of the latter. The trouble is that people take themselves too seriously. The saloon-keeper, the politician, the Sunday school general secretary and Eva Tanguay look exactly alike to the ic porter. They are all grist for the newspaper mill. The latter Is the great avenue and medium of communication with the public. It tries, in the best way possible to give all the news to all the people. And it tries to "get it right." It knows that the Sunday school is cne of the greatest religious and social institutions of the world. When the state convention meets in its town it details its reporters to get all the news concerning the latter and give it to the people of the community so the kilter may be fully informed of the vastness of the organization's operations. And certainly it expects some reciprocity. When Christian people, so-called, realize that if they want to save souls they will have to have better manners maybe a step toward the millenium will be taken. You are, by implication, if you pose as a Christian, better than the poor misguided devil on the outside. If you want to impress him with the advantages of being within the sacred encloptire you must give him some outward jand visible evidence of it. If Christianity doesn't mean courtesy, consideration, and a desire to get at the point of view of the other fellow 5t doesn't mean anything at all. All the conventions in the world aren't going to convince that other fellow. All the praying and sermonizing and saying "behold what a good man am I" wen't make him want to help the good Avork along. Christians say and think they're better than other people. Then let them prove it. And one of the best ways will be to show the people that are trying to help them along the courteous consideration that is due everyone from everybody else. This does not apply to the local man-

"What of the maelstrom that is between two of the Loffoden islands, off the coast of Norway? Where the water sinks there must be a subterranean passage or an outlet farther north," writes a correspondent. In answer we reply that there is no opening in the ocean's floor. The whirling motion is caused by tides and winds. The water rushes in channels between the islands, whose configuration aids in twisting. The current runs during six hours from north to south and then six hours from south to north. This reversal and friction against rocks set up the whirling motion. "Suction through a hole in the bottom of the sea" does not exist. I winas in irom cue ocean wuea in cue right direction increase tbe rotation of the water which. In the center of tbe whirl, is about twenty fathoms In depth, but just west of the straits the soundings show depths of from 100 to 200 fathoms. Many modern ships, in tbe absence of winds, have traversed the troubled wastes, but they keep away when the wind is blowing against the changeable currents, especially at high tide, when the danger is very great Many fables regarding the maelstrom , have been handed down from ancient times, from medieval also, and moderns still Invent them. Of course ships have been wrecked there as well as elsewhere. -ew York American. A Loafer. Mrs. Hoyle What is your husband's vocation? Mrs. Doyle Vacation. He never works. New York Press.

Trying to Get on the Floor Again. (National News Association) WASHINGTON. June 29. An elderly colored man presented himself at ber of the "Greatest-Deliberative-Body-in the World." This statement the doorkeeper hailed with what "nearly approached derision, but as" the man did not appear very much frightened or show any signs of abandoning his intention to enter the House Chamber, the doorkeeper dispatched a messenger to the Speaker's rostrum. The messenger also conveyed to the Speaker the card of the colored man which bore the name of John R. Lynch, with a further line to the effect that Mr. Lynch was engaged in the practice of the law in the commonwealth of Mississippi. Speaker Clark for a moment was at a loss as to the proper course of procedure. First he called upon the dean of the Mississippi delegation in the lower house, who informed the Speak er that Mr. John R. Lynch was fullyentitled to the floor privilege. He had served a number of terms in congress from Mississippi. Mr. Lynch was admitted. Strange as it may seem, this very John R. Lynch, who experienced such difficulty in being admitted to the floor of the House, a privilege to which the customs of the House entitled him, was twenty-eight years ago, the temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention at Chicago, a position to which the greatest politicians in the country aspired not long since. And stranger still the man whose motion placed Lynch in that position was Theodore Roosevelt, then a delegate from New York State. Don't Call It Slang. A Cleveland man who has lived for a number of years recently got it into his head that he might die one of these days and that it would be well if he wrote his autobiograph ere that sad event occurred, as one might say. So he sat down and wrote many pages nnd took those pages to a local publisher. After the manuscript had been in the lattcr's hands for some time the author called him up. "This is BJones," he explained genially. "Who's BJones?" came tbe reply. "Bjones, you know Bjones of East Umpth street, whose autobiography you are publishing. Ah I'm a little 6hort tills week. Could you let me haTe something in advance?" "Not on your life!" And you may think the printer wa. slangy, but he wasn't. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Courage. l8 he a man of courage?" "Yes. indeed."
