He Did Not See Them.

He Did Not See Them.
A story is told of a certain politician
whose education was somewhat defective,
and who in particular vas not a"born
-speller." He became prominent, and his
correspondence therefore took on a certain
Importance.
One day d particular friend came to him
and said, "Look here, William, you must
have a secretary write your letters and
never undertake to write any yourself"
"Whyf" asked the public man.
"Because people are laughing at your
letters, and they will do you harm"
"Why do they laugh at thelnP" In aston
ishment.
"Because you make 70 many mistakes
in spelling"
Mistakes in spellingp" exclaimed the
great man. "Nonsense! I read my letters
all over after I write them, and I never
find a misspelled word"
He had not yet learned that, although
to q certain extent a man may safely BIZ
ga law unto himself, " no one can be q
dictionary unto imself.-Youth's Com
naninn.
