words that knock the Othef man out.
Education is good thing, but too
often it is mere sugar coating to hide
ignorance. The best education is that
which teaches a man how little he
knows OF the mitch there Is to learn
and shows him the way to think. The
educated man is an amateur, while the
thinker Is professional

very careful. 1t is delicate operation,
and your fiattery 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

handsome. Every man will believe YOU
for no imam knows whether he is good
looking or not A large majority Of
men, however, have a suspicion that
they are. 1t is different with woman.
She knows all about it. and if not care
full in trying to compliment her you will
make yourself ridiculous in her eyes. 1t
is always safe to admire her clothes.
BE politician only for an hour every
election day. The man who spends
most OF HE time trying to Bet an office
is usually good for nothing else, and
not often for that The cheapest man
on earth is the office-seeker. He feeds
himselfwith hope on a fork and thinks
he is getting fat. Be ambitious, but re-

land remember, Jimmy says l,
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 the
worm, and the most brilliant electric
light may shine in front of the tough
est saloon. but as rule the man with
good habits is safe one to tie to. You
always have more confidence in Il horse
standing without hitching if he has
never run away or kicked out dash
board. and the horse that has played
those pranks must always be watched.
1t is the same with a man. Ii YOU
have bad HABITS remember that
the greatest reformer the world
ever saw reformed only one person.
himself. This is a practical age, and
the man who. yields razor artistically
is more assured of livcl hood than the
artist with his brush. Misery and hap
piness are homemade articles. You
have made your future if you are con-
tent, though too often bless ngs, like
customers, are never appreciated
until just as they are ready to 60 away.
Always take a sure thing, if it is a good
thing and therefore make the most of
this life, because it is the only one any
man was ever sure OF. Make the most
of it by living as long and happily and
as possible. To do this

be temperate, cheerful, generous and
just. Don't gossip about your fellow
or be jealous OF them. Don't
imagine them to be trying to do you in
jury and whine about it to others. If
you do you may lose some of your best
friends. Female gossips may be toler-
ated-male gossips never.
Judge men generously, Jimmy.
Look for their best, not their worst,
and learn to average 'em. Every man
mas his average. Jails are full of men
