Always say "How-dy-do." A
community in which "howdy" pre-.
walls is in a bad way. "Howdy"
ought to be extinguished, annihilat-
ed. 1t is a sure sign of want of cul-
ture and refinement. Nobody in
whose soul a trace of sweetness and
light has tound entrance, can be
guilty of the enormity OF using that
vile and vulgar word. f ~

So you think, my boy, that
there's plenty Of room at the top2"
Oh, no that is only some more of
the wise mans encouraging non
sense. There's less room at the
top than anywhere else IN the whole
pyramid. Unless society is built
upside down the most room is at
the bottom. Look at our own coun-
try $1,000, 900 people at the bot
tom and middle, and only one pres
ident at the top. That's the way
the world over millions OF subjects
and only one king. IF you want
lots of room and plenty OF com
pany, you stay at the bottom with
the rest ofus. Mighty lonely and
narrow at the apex.-Bardette.
