The Art of Gracious ungraciousness
E was a middle-aged man with a fringe of gray hair around the bald
spot on his head, a portly figure, and a complexion that showed he
wae familiar with the good things of the table. ■
H« 8tood ,n hl» bualneea offloe, and with a distinctly bored,
indifferent air listened to what a small, nervous man with thin gray locks
and a drooping gray mustache was hastily telling him.
The one was a picture of success; the other, of failure. The failure
was working hard to make good. Success showed plainly that It was not
only an act of great condescension on his part to listen, bnt that really he
had little time to waste.
At last, with a negative, the portly one turned away, and the little
old man went out. He came back again, however la a few minutes, and
with an effort at bluff, called out In as hearty tones as he could. “Oh say
Douglass, I forgot—”
The other with a face of wrath at this familiarity from Failure ap-
peared from an inner office. His manner was even more cool, bored, con-
descending. Clearly Failure need hope for little from his hands
But why is it necessary to treat to such a way a fellow-being trying
to earn a living? We may have to turn down the man who comes to ns
with some propoettloa. We may have no time whatever to waste on some-
thing that Interests not at all. But for that reason need we treat the one
who eomes with It, as If he were the scum of the earth; or; If we do not
go quite to that length, as if he Is so far beneath us as to ba scarcely
worthy of our august notice? Why cannot we recognise the humanity to
him, the effort, and be as gracious with the ungracious “No” we are com-
pelled to give, as possible?
And even with the one who persists, who will not leave, though We
have intimated we have no time to waste, can we not be firm, but still
courteous? We should not let the unmitigated bore entirely quench the
spirit of brotherhood to our heart.
For we do not know just how helpful the kindly spirit may he to the
one who Is endeavoring to make headway against odds. A gracious “No”
can take away tome of the sting of the refusal.
The art of being graciously ungracious la worth cultivating. It takes
some of the thorns out of other people’s pathway; and It develops to our-
selves a spirit of kindness and brotherHneas that la far better for us <than
an over-developed ego

A SMART HAT.
With her usual perversity, Fashion
favors two extremes in millinery
modes this year. To be in the ex-
treme of fashion a hat is either high
of crown, often to the point of ex-
aggeration—or flattened out to great
breadth of brim and practically no
crown at all. One designed on the
latter lines slightly modified is given
above. This is a smart tailor style
with wide, slightly rolling brim hav-
ing a becoming dip In the front, and
a low, broad crown. Around the
crow n is a plain folded band of green
taffeta. The taffeta is made into two
wings and placed on the left side of
the crown.
GARRIZOZO COURT .
IS NOW IN SESSION
SENSATIONAL CASE OF ALLEGED
POISONING IS AMONG THE
CASES TO BE TRIED.
Special to The Time*.
Carrizozo, Ne. M., May 16. — The
trial of Isaac Herring fop, killing a
stranger in the depot several months
ago has been before the court fur
several days. The pury brought in
a verdict of acquittal late last eve.
ning.
Today the Dunn-Glenn poisoning
case has been called. Dan Jackson
of El Paso is the attorney for tho de-
fense. It will be remembered that
two years and a half ago Mrs. Motile
Glenn died In Hotel Dieu from hav-
ing accidentally taken a tablet of
corrosive suhlimite which was left at
her home on a ranch near Ancho by
Mrs. Levinia Dunn. The trial prom-
ises to be sensational. The friends
of Mrs. Dunn are firm in their belief
that tho death of Mrs. Glenn was
purely a matter of accident and not
criminal intent, as charged in the in-
dictment. Upon this fact hinges, it
is said, the whole case.
Charles Johnston, a stranger, while
passing through town on a cattle cur,
lost his footing and fell from the top
of one of the cars. He was taken
to the Paden hospital for treatment.
The extent of his Injuries are not yet
known, the accident having been too
recent for probnostication by the at-
tending physicians.
