Neither is the individual who will
rot talk a pleasant person to meet in
society. A bore has been defined as
man who taks so much about himself
that he gives you no chance to talk
about yourself. But still greater bore
is the man who will not talk about
himself or anything else, but makes
the person with whom he is supposed
to he talking carry on the entire con-
yersatiOn. II is better to talk poorly
than not TO talk at all, and the natural
ly silent person should in youth be
trained to overcome his uncommuni-

and gives out nothing in the way OF
conversation is even more selfish II, ~
he man who so loves the sound Of his
own voice that he gives other people
no opportunity to hear theirs. Silence
is nothing less than a gross form OF
seIishness, and an unresponsive person

How they pranced round the ring.
But, discarding the mitts,
They have started to shoot,
And they've gotten poor China

They certainly know
That we don't count it fun

And then for our pains
We will sit on old China
And divide the remains.
