A KIND WORD SPOKEN.
Too many of us seem to act on
tlie principle that anything is good
enough for those we associate with
at home. They are “our folks”
and it doesn’t matter what we say
or do, or how we say or do it.
when no outsider is present. We
have our every-day clothes and
manners on then. When some
one calls we put on our company
garb, and are very different per
sons. We hardly Know each
other, so great is the transforma
tion. We are polite to each other.
We are a charming family, as our
visitors probably think, because
of the harmony that exists. But
when the door is closed on our
visitors we draw a breath of re
lief and feel at liberty to relapse
into our old ways again. We are
so unused to company ways that
we do not feel at home in them.
But this is all wrong. We ought
to consider home and all the mem
bers of the household as entitled
to (he first consideration in all
things. What are those we meet
in society to us that we should
take such pains to be agreeable to
them and neglect those who have
the strongest claim upon list It
all comes about because we have
got into a wrong way of thinking.
We have put the home into the
background when it should occupy
the foremost place in our thoughts.
We should strive to make our
selves such pleasant members of
the household band that our ab
sence is like the loss of the sun
shine from a summer day. We
can do it and we will do it if we
enter into the right spirit—the
spirit of home. The idea seems to
exist among us that to be polite to
each other in the family circle is
foolish and like putting on airs.
We must rid ourselves of this
notion and act on the principle
that whatever helps to make our
intercourse pleasanter outside the
family circle should be brought in
to use there. We should avail
ourselves of any and everything
that can be used to advantage in
our daily intercourse. It is no
exhibition of airuess to say “thank
you,” or “if you please.” These
little courtesies are indications of
refinement, and costing nothing,
they help to make the wheels of
life move more smoothly. It is
not in elaborate attempts at polite
ness that true gentility consists. It
is in the simple, honest expression
of the genuine feelings of the
heart which is interested in the
welfare of others. Our company
politeness is generally superficial
because we care little or nothing
for those we try to be polite to. It
is assumed. But if we are inter
ested in those at home and are
anxious to make their lives pleas
ant, we will endeavor to give ex
pression to that interest, and in
doing that we will be doing a real
ly polite thing for such feelings.
The cultivation of this expression
will be the best possible education
iu true politeness.

Dr. H. P. Hargis.
IN MEHORIAM.
Died : The infant babe of Mr.
and Mrs. W. F. Musgrove, at
Grays, Wednesday morning, Aug.,
12,1908.
Only the memory of the lovely
babe is left, yet how sweet, how
uplifting its influence. For, after
all, death is but the slipping off
the outer body. When death
strikes down the innocent and
young, for every fragile form from
which he let the panting spirit free,
a hundred virtues rise, in shapes
of mercy, charity and love, to walk
the world and bless it. Of every
tear that sorrowing mortals shed
on such green graves, some good
is born, some gentler nature comes.
The News extends its sympa
thies to the bereaved ones.
