GOOD THINGS TO LEARN.

Learn TO laugh. A good laugh IS bet
ter than medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your own
business; very important point.
Learn how to tell a story. A we'll
told story is as welcome as sunbeam
in a sick room.
Learn to stop croaking. If you can
not see any good In this word keep
the bad to yourself.
Learn to keep your own troubles u
yourself. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to greet your friends with a
smile. They carry too many frowns in
their own hearts to be bothered with
any of yours.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under pleasant smile. No one cares
whether you have the earache, head
ache or rheumatism.
