BITS OF PARIS ETIQUETTE. Manual Has Just Been Issued in ' . ' 'J. , ' . Franco to Guide Doth Men f and Women. nOW one oughtJo behave in po lite society ilJ : always nn interest ingtopie , and even if we know all about it it iH worth while to hear what the latest mentor has to say on this Sl'OI'e.wl'he Etiquette of Politeness and the Usages of Modern . 'I'll Society in all the Circumstances . 'es of I.Jife" is the ponderous title of a bulky volume issued ! : in Paris on this entertaining subject. As an index to the ] behavior of French women and French men it , is significant to note that young wives are counseled to banish from their dwelling the "danger- OUB visitor , " giving him to understand . stand that "J'ou can never be anything more to him than a stranger " Young men who think they look well on horseback Bhould meditate this sage advice : "If you : arc not an experienced equestrian ( ] , do not accompany the Indies to houn s. " Men who have attained a cer- lain age are told that they may "pmbrace little girls on thc forehead - head before theircoufirllla Up till t that period it is a paternal caress - I'ess , but after that it is wise to ab- - tain. ; " Presumably after coulir- Illation the little girls begin to develop - velop n a preference for other than paternal eareSSl'S. One would have thought that in a eoun- tey t where men were so proverbial 1- ly 1 gallant it would not have been ! J1l'cessllrS' to warn them that it is not : "correct to stand with their back to the fire , leaning on the aluntelpiece" Bu the counsel is there , and jj- is gravely added : "By so doing you ; deprive others of the comfort- - ing heat which you monopolize. " "rrhe husband , " we learn , "iu speaking of his wife says : ' My wife , ' but he must not say to her : 'Is it not so , mv wife' ? ' Neither must the wife address her husband - , bund in this fashion. " WILL OF A PATRIOTIC -MAN Hoboken , N. J. , Resident Leaves Large Share of Cash to Pay on the National Debt. No stranger 01' more interesting - ing will has ever been made than that by which Joseph H. Lewis of Hoboken , N. J. , left the larger share of his money to the United States to be used toward the pay- - mcnt of the national t debt. He was 87 years old and lived alone with an old housekeeper. He was born of English parents on the island of Jamaica but came to this country when only a small boy. He enlisted in the war of 1812 and forever after was the stanchest of pH tl'iots. BJ' trade he I was an engraver and had a little shop near Trinity church , where many of the fashionable wedding cards were engraved , as were flIp door plates of the rich. In that day the door plate was a most important adjunct to the front of n house , and Lewis did a thriving trade in engraving them. Though Ill' retired from business - ness at an early date , his compe- tence was so invested during the ! . remainder of the rears of his long . - A life that at his death his estate I WitS valued at over $1,000,000. Ill' had many plans for the final ( distribution of his fortune , but none of them pleased him us did lime idea of leaving it to his conn- h' } ' . TIe often told his friends that be ) had made his money in : this I country and all that he was he owed to the United States For that reason he wished to repay ; his indebtedness as best he could. With thelcxception of a few small bequests the entire fortune of this patriotic man was turned over to the United States gover.o mente FIELD DAY AT SALEM Time third annual field day of the Richardson county athletic association was held on the Salem fair grounds , Saturday , May 6. The weather was ideal and it was a day of intense enthusiam , rais- ing and strengthening high school spirit in Rishardson coun- ty. Early in the morning crowds Hum'j began to assemble and' before noon several hundred were on the grounds. Time ball game between the Stella and the Falls City high schools was a good one. The score stood three to one in favor of Falls City. The basket ball game , the Daw- son boys team against a picked team was well played and resulted - ed in a victory for Dawson. During - ing the noon hour basket dinner parties were scattered , over the grounds. The afternoon pro- gram was carried out as annouced. Humboldt won first place , get- ting 87 of 125 points and will keep the trohy , a statute of Apollo Belvidere another year. Falls City won second place with 136 points , Dawson third with 106 points.

Cline , Pastor But the chiefest terror of the Pinkerton detective agency to , evildoers lies in this : they never ' stop ; they never give up a case in which a member of the American Bankers' association is involved , writes Charles Francis Bourke in Leslie's Magazine. So thoroughly is this recognized that the little sign banging in many banking offices and reading "Member American Bankers' association - sociation , " serves as the best pos. sible insurance against the exploits ' ploits of safe-blowers , sneak , / . thieves and forgers. An amus- Ii ing instance of the influence of this reputation is found in a case I reported from 'Visconsin. Sneak I thieves entered a banking house in an interior city and succeeded ( in getting away with negotiable ' bonds valued at $50,000. At the ' ' J time the robbery was committed , ( the thieves did not notice the sign . of the American Dankers' associa- tion which was hanging in an inconspicuous - conspicuous position. When the affair became public , the fact that , the bank which had been robbed llt belonged to the association waR ' also Htated. Next day the bank in question received by express from Milwaukee a package containing - taining the stolen bonds intact. with it was a note : "Please put your sign where people can see it and save trouble , " it read.
