careful not to offend persons
will keep his face clean. He will
never be loud mouthed or over

trait of character always marks
the snob egotist. He will never
lift his voice in a small room
when talking to men. as though
he were in a field driving oxen.
He will never speak go as to

never speak Of his superior family
connections or give those he is
with to understand he is of more
consequence than they. He will
never pry into the family affairs
Of any other person. nor meddle
himself with the affairs another
person should attend to. He will
never try to bully or beat his way,
nor assume a superiority that is

notify them Of that fact they had
determined to assemble at the
