GOOD AND BAD MANNERS.
n,'(
HD
And tha Brand U*ad In th« Privacy of
tha Horn* C ire la.
There are three aorts of manners—
good, bad and the sort that are used
Uk the privacy of the home circle. The
last named sort are usually the worst.
Hood manners seldom come naturally
to any male. This Is proved by the
fact tb t theysmust generally l# ham-
mered into sip*)! boys with a large, ro-
bust cane, the flat of the hand or the
rear side of a-halrbrush. As the boy
grows to manhood he displays bis na-
tive had manners by telling his wife
what he’d like to nay to the (Iresonfe
folk who come to call and the people
who give [turtles which*he Is expected
to attend. His early tralulng, how-
ever, prevents him from exhibiting his
bud manners In public. Occasionally a
mule child is blessed with good man-
ners from birth, but he usually expires
with exceptional thoroughness shortly
before or Immediately after Iris llftli
birthdny.
Men with bad manners are generally
very successful In life'because theift
competitors and opponents lose their
tern[ters, thus making It eupy for the
persons with the bad manners to de-
feat* them. Before a bud mannered per-
son becomes weulthy he is known ns a
•selfish boor. Afterward he Is said to
be eCceutric.
There Is grave danger that while a
bad mannered person Is still in the
boor class some strong minded and
strong muscled Individual may resent
his bad manners and spread his fea-
tures hither and yon over his face with
a few brisk and well directed blows of
u pair of No. 11 fists. If one cares to
run the risk, bad manners are great
things on which to gamble.—Kenneth
L. Roberts In Life.
HIS SMUGGLING TRICK.
A Mexican Trader’s Way of Evading
tha Customs Inspectors.
There are .ways of evading duty
down on the R{o Grande Impossible to
tho i>ort of New York. "The Mexican
found n way. Jle was a merchant Just
on the other side of tho Mexican bor-
der. He hiuT* two vases which had
caught the fancy of an American cus-
tomer, but they were dear, and with
the duty added—not to be thought of.
The customer told the Mexican so. Tho
Mexican fell ffl. But the price was
still too dear. The Mexican fell again.
But still there was tho duty staring
the customer in the face. Then sud-
denly, without explaining how, the
Mexican guaranteed that the vases
should be delivered free of duty on the
other side of the Rio Grande—next
morning at breakfast time.
, “And,” the Mexican add in a char-
acteristic manner, “I will be there to
collect.”
At breakfast next morning, as the
customer was eating leisurely, the Mex-
ican appeared,
“Where are the vases?” the customer
Inquired. —
“In the next room, senor,” replied the
Mexican, smiling blandly.
“And the duty?”
“There is no duty, senor.”
“IIow In thunder did you manage It?”
asked-the American, amazed.
“I paid a greaser a dollar, senor.
With the vases strapped to his back,
he swain the Rio Grande. See, senor"
—hurrying to bring In a vase from the
next room and touching It gently with
l)ls fingers—“they are whole, per-fect.”
—New York Post.
'Courtesy and Work.
When I want to find fault with my
men I say nothing when I go through
their departments. If I were satisfied
I would praise them. My silence hurts
them more than anything else in the
world, and it doesn’t give offense. It
makes them think and work harder.
Many men fall because they do not
see the importance of being ktffd and
courteous to the men under them.
Kindness to eveft’body always pays
for Itself. And, besides, It Is a pleasure
to lie kind. I have seen men lose Im-
portant positions, or their rephtatlons
—which are more important.than any
position—by little* careless discourte-
sies to men whom they did not think It
was worth while to be kind to.—
Charles M. Schwab in American Mag-
azine.
Tha Land of tha Kurds.
Kurdistan appeals t6 the archaeol-
ogist. It was ruled successively by the
Persians, Macedonians, Parthlans, Sas.
sanlans and Romans and is exceeding-
ly rich In antiquarian remains, most of
which are still unexamined. The Kurds
are a wild, pastoral, partly nomadic-
people, are mostly Mohammedans and
are very hostile to Christians, their
cruel massacre of tho Armenians being
only too well known. Kurdistan be-
longs, to both the Thrklsh and the Per-
sian monarchies, though chiefly to tha
former-—London Chronicle. *

Newspaper for Kirven.
The Chronicle is informed by
J. R. Luker, our Kirven cor-
respondent, that F' R. Rose,
former editor of the Teague
Times, will issue the first edition
of a ^newspaper published in
Kirven this week. The Chron-
icle established a page for
Kirven people some time ago, on
account of there being no paper
in this thriving little city. Now
that Mr. Rose will establish a
local paper our service will be
discontinued as long as there is
a paper publised in the town. >■
Mr. Rose is a newspaper man
of considerable experience and
will give Kirven a good paper,
one well worthy of the patron-
age of the people, and it is the
earnest wish of the Chronicle
that they give him the liberal
patronage deserved and co-oper-
ate with him in maintaining a
live local paper.
Our relations with the good
people of Kirven have been very
friendly, as the Chronicle has
many good friends there. We
extend our thanks for their past
patronage.

Cardwell and Smith Promoted.
Jpdge J. D. Moore, receiver of
the F. & M. Bank of Teague,
returned Wednesday from
Austin where he looked after
matters connected with the
bank’s business and attended to
professional business in District
court. From him we learned
that Capt. E. H. Smith of Com-
pany C, Texas State Rangers,
who is well known in Teague,
has been prompted to Deputy
State Game Warden, a better
position than that formerly held
by the Captain, Also that
Sergeant O. D. Cardwell of the
same company, also well known
here, has accepted the position
of special representative for the
Texas Cattle Raiser’s Associa-
tion, with present headquarters
at Post, Texas. It will be re-
membered that Mr. Cardwell
married a Teagae girl and had
the sad misfortune to lose her by
death within a week of the mar-
riage.
Judge Moore expects to go to
Austin Feb. 1 to meet with the
Board of Manager of the State
Lunatic Asylum at Austin of
which he is vice president. At a
recent meeting a contract was
let for a $65,000 laundry plant.
At this meeting the Board will
elect a superintendent for the
asylum, several assistant physic-
ians, superintendent of - the
Pasteur Institute and the heads
of all departments.* The Judge
has served two years on the
board and the term calls for four
more years.
We pay the highest market
price for Chickens, Turkeys,
Ducks,. Geese, and Eggs all the
time. Bring us your old brass,
