WHAT IS YOUR LIFE?
' Tc the preacher life a a sermon,
To the inker it's a jest;

To the Inwver life's a trial,

To the doctor life's a patient
That needs treatment right along.
To the soldier life's a battle,
To the teacher life's a school;

It's a failure to the fool.

through the heart of the honest fel

irom tne ground.
"Poor old Mllly!" he thought to
himself. "It Is hard on the lass' Just
now." He turned around. "Don't
go saying things you'll be sorry for
by and by, Mill," he said gently. "God
knows, I'd never have brought you
away from the country If I hadn't
heard work was so plentiful up here
In London. So It was at first and
maybe will again. We'll have to fight
on for a bit."
Ho drew nearer, and laid a hand
on the averted shoulder.
"Cheer up, lassie. It ain't like you
to turn cross and nasty." He gave
the girl a playful shake, but in an In
stant she had sprung to her feet, and
.was facing him with blazing eyes.
"Cross, am I!" she cried shrilly.
"And enough to make me! I'm not
an angel, and never was, and I say
I'm sick of it, pinching and. scraping
and parting with the bits of things
for rent. I wish I was dead!"
A flood of passionate tears choked
her as the memory of the past trou
bles rose up like a black cloud before
her eyes, and she felt herself in im
agination growing old and shabby,
like all the other weary, untidy, shift

There was silence in the room,
broken only by the girl's sob's, and
for once her husband did not speak.
There Is a limit to all patience, and
love may be strained to the breaking
point at last. Jim was dumb now,

She hurried and laid the table and

of horror was blinding her sight,
when a dreadful voice from some
where far away seemed crying con
tinually In her dull brain, "He's
dead! He's dead! And you parted
in anger! Jim's dead!"
When the cloud passed she found
herself at a bedside, with a doctor
near her holding her .arm and telling
her to cheer up and pull herself to
gether. Her eyes fell on her husband's face
resting on the pillow. He was white
and ghastly, and there was a bandage
about his head, but the face was not
the face of a dead man, for his eyei
were wide open, gazing anxiously Into
hers. 8he sprang to her feet then
with an eager cry, and the doctor,
with a slight smile on his grave face,
went softly out.
"Oh, Jim, forgive me forgive
me!" she murmured on her knees be
side him. "I've been a bad wife to
you, and they told me you were dead.
Thank God, It's not true, and He's
given you back to me."
The man held out his arms, and
clasped her about the neck, and he
felt her tears like rain upon his up

"Poor little lass!" he whispered.
"What e fright I've given you, but
I'll soon be well again. I was Just

there waa silence In the little room,

"There's a letter came for you,
Jim, this afternoon," she said pres

and she slipped away to bathe her
eyes and see to some food for him.

Street Gar Manners.
ANNERS Is how you act in a street car.
Gentlemen are called so because .they have good
manners.

street cars. It may be that they have automobiles.
Tne other day a person known as a street car hog was
choked so bad that he got real black In the face. This hap
pened in New York. The man who choked him was trying
to .teach him to be polite. But you can't teach a hog much.
If every street car hog got choked the right of way'
would be clogged with pork.
In this town I never saw a man take a woman and pull
her out of a seat and take the seat himself. So manners
might be worse here than they are.
Men get into seats, though, and stay there, while tired
old women with baskets swing from the strap. The men do
not pretend to br, reading. That used to be the way, and it
was a sign that the men were ashamed. It Is out of date now.
But perhaps the women are partly to blame. They do
not teach their little boys to give up seats to other women.
They used to forget to thank the men, too, for giving them
seats. For men did do this once.
When a woman brings a sturdy lad Into a crowded car
she puts him into the only vacant seat and then glares
around for another.
Lots of times when she comes In there are three or four
vacant seats, but she does not look around for them, but
grabs a strap right off. Then men come in and take the
seats, and she looks Just as mad. but you can't blame them
much.
Sometimes women spread their skirts over two or three
seats and get real haughty when requested to condense.
But this Is not to defend the man who crowds womea
aside and beats them to a seat. No, it is not in favor of the
man who stands in the aisles and when a seat becomes
vacant Jams Into It and leaves women still standing
Of course, to call him a hog is to ubb a figure of speech.
But he was trained when only a pig. This is another figure
of speech. "
There are some gentlemen who travel on the street cars
and ladles do, too, but they have so many painful experi
ences that they wish they might walk.
So this Is all I know about street car manners. Anti

The Race Problem.
Race problems are solved by natu

negroes, with their growing demand
for social equality, will find the South
untenable for all such. They will
emigrate to Northern States. They
bave been emigrating for yeara, and
the movement will constantly increase,-
In most of the Northern
States' there is no legal bar to the
mingling of the two races. The new
er generations of negroes will refuse
to work on the plantation and will
crowd to the cities. Tbey will be of
no use In the South and their exit will
be hastened on every side. The re

is a troublesome problem for a girl
or woman. Shall I tip? Whom shall
I tip? How much shall I give? She
does not know and has no one from
whom she can seek Information with
out embarrassment.
Tipping Is much more customary in
this country than It was a few years
ago, and as a rule It Is safe to give a
moderate fee to any servant with
whom you have come In contact.
In the average country house this
will mean the waitress, the upstairs
girl who attends to your room and
who may have done you small favors,
such as buttoning your frock, and the
coachman who drives you to and from
the station.
It is not necessary to go around to
every servant on the place when many
are kept. Some hosts object stren
uously to a tip and forbid their ser
vants to accept any. This position, If
known, must he respected. Generally
your hostess will let you know In a
quiet way how she feels on the sub
ject. How much to give depends upon
how much one can afford. It Is fool
ish from false pride to cripple one's
self by gifts or stay at home from a
visit because you cannot afford to
tip. Both maids and hostess usually
know your financial status, and the
latter would only be worried by ex
travagant tipping.
If you have made demands upoq
the time of a maid, such aa asking
her to press a dress for you, she
should be quietly given something for
her trouble at the time. You would
have to pay an outsider for such
work, and have nc right to expect it
as a favor.
If at all possible do not get into the
way of expecting your friends' maldi
to do such things for you. Hunt up
a laundress, or, if you can do your
own pressing, ask your hostess when
it will be convenient for you to ge
into the laundry to do a little fresh
ening up to your clothes. If she in
sists on having it done for you, ac
cept, as she may prefer it to your
presence in her kitchen.
Make It a rule, whenever possible,
to pay for your baggage on the train.
This saves embarrassment later. In
the country where you must be met it
is out of the question, but try to be
present to fee the men who carry your
trunk to your room.
Never fee ostentatiously. It Is the
height of bad taste. Also do not get
Into the habit of letting your hosts
pay your way as a right.
There are many excursions where
the hosts assume . all obligations;
these must not be questioned, 'iut ac
cepted gracefully. If you propose
little trips, or if you pay a long visit,
insist upon paying your share of car
fare and other expenses.
The money side of visiting requires
delicate handling. You do not wish
