ali PUSHES to one side of his head, and
the contrary side at that. A man was
never convinced of anything by argn-
ment excepting of his own cleycrness
and tother fellows stupidity. Men
change their politics and their beliefs
only as they do their shirts -wfen
they are alone. The man who talks
much and easily may seem to be the
smartest but about the time he gets
tired the man who has been lying back
in the chair thinking puts In Few
words that knock the other man out.
Education is good thing, but too
often 1t is mere sugar coating to hide
ignorance. The best education is that
which teaches a man how little he
knows of the much there is to learn
and shows him the way to think. The
educated man is an amateur, while the
thinker is professional.
Jimmy says ], when you want TO
flatter an intelligent man you must DO
very careful. 1t is delicate operation,
and your hattery must be administered
as cautiously as your lather Is. Every
man likes little soft soap If you keep
it out of his eyes. You can always
tlatter man by intimating that he IS
handsome. Every man will believe you,
for no man knows whether he is good
looking or not A large majority OF
men, however, have suspicion that

that YOU will do well to have good
habits yourself. Many good men have
bad habits, and the man outwardly
perfect is likely to have dry rot within.
The prettiest apple usually contains tho
worm, and the most brilliant electric
light may shine in front of the tough

good habits is safe one to tie to. You
always have more confidence in a horse
standing without hitching if he has

those pranks must always be watched.
1t is the same with man. If you
have bad habits remember tina,
