COULD HAVE TOLD YOU
SO.

A trif1e more odious than 81
told you So" is the exasperating
expression, 81 could have told
you So" 1t is generally admin
istered as a bitter-sweet after
math, when our friends, so-called,
discover we have come out at the
wrong end of a bargain. If it be
a horse, we chance to purchase,
these back handed prophets
stand silently by until the trade
is beyond recall, and then coolly
enumerate all of the animals aili-
ments and vicious tendencies, and
then plaster our wounded, he
gothic -best-of-me feelings by
the cheerful assurance, could
have told you SO! knew that
horse had a sore back, and spav-
in, and would kick, bite, jump
fences, balk, and run away when
ever he gets a chance. Old
Cheatem got you, sure, in that
trade" But he didn't tell, and
we must abide by the trade, and
make the best of the bargain.
We sell a man a bill of goods,
or give him the benefit of onr
brain and muscle, and send in
our bill, which is met with ex-
cuses, and not paid at all, unless
legal 'suasion lends a hand. By
the dozen, our Jobs comforters
appear, and although they We're
as quiet as the grave when the
buying and work was going on,
loudly proclaim their superior
knowledge, and wonderful insight
into character. "I'm not one bit
surprised, that man is a grand
rascal, and never pays a debt I'M
less he's made to. He's mean as
dirt. / could have told you so!''
But so long as they held their
peace until their information was
worthless, we cannot but help
wishing their wisdom had been
kept to themselves. So on,
through the whole gamut of BUSH
ness and social life, these doleful,
could ve-told-you-so's, make
life a burden, and peace an UNI
known factor of existence. Why
is it, we can but ask, that human
nature INDUCES in such inconsis-
tent evidences of friendship?
Partly because average men or
women delight in telling what
they know, whether it does any
good or not, and partly because
it is not policy, to speak, when
we want to keep on good terms
with both bitter and bit, or cheat
er and cheated. The only reme-
dy for this tendency to console
our unfortunate friends with 81
could have told you so," is to
take a heroic dose of the medicine
ourselves, and like the poet, ''feel
as others felt"

Few of us realize the value o

Few of us realize the value d
sheerfulness, praeiced daily and
consistently. The persistently
cheerful individual can make a
neighborhood brighter, happier,
and more desirable to live in by
their presence, and in fact, raise
the value of real estate around
them. The cheerful business
man draws the greatest number
of customers, and the profess
sional man gains friends and
walks into high position by the
use of this same potent factor of
success.
The cheerful girl wins beaux
and friends, and what is better,
holds their hearts and homage
long after youth is past, whether
she travels life's pathway single
or double.
The cheerful writer has his ar
ticles and books accepted and
read, no matter how devoid they
are of erudition and deep thought.
The editor who possesses the
happy faculty of keeping cheer
full under all circumstances, may
count on popularity, no matter
how small his remuneration for
serving the public. We may be
poor in purse, and never able 20
accumulate even a competence,
but it is in the power of all to be
rich in cheerfulness. The power
to radiate sunshine and carry
gladness and good cheer where
ever we 60, is of infinitely great
er value to society than millions
in dollars and cents, used only
for selfish motives. 1t is to be
hoped that the time will come
when the millionaire of charac-
ter will be recognized as worth
more to the world than the mere
owner of cash, and receive the
honor which is their due.

A benigant old gentleman was
recently addressing a Sunday
school in a small Mississippi town.
81 am glad to be able to say chill
dren," he remarked, "that | new
er swore an oath in my life, | new
er drank a drop of liquor. new
er took a chew of tobacco, never
went to a theater, and never had

ed a pipe and never saw inside OF

A local preacher, at the con-
clusion of one of his sermons,
said: "Let all in the house who
are paying their debts stand up
Instantly every man, woman and
child, with one exception, rose to
their feet. The preacher seated
them and said: s'Now every man
not paying his debts stand up"
The exception noted, a care-worn
hungry looking individual clothed
in his last summers suit, slowly
assumed a perpendicular position
"How is it my FRIEND" asked the
minister, "that you are the only
man not to meet his obligations?"
81 run a newspaper" he meekly
answered, land the bretheren
here who just stood up are my
subscribers, and" ''Let US
pray" exclaimed the minister.
This is a problem can you solve
it? Suppose you try it:
Mary is "a years old. Mary is
twice as old as Ann was when
Mary was as old as Ann is now.
How old is Ann?
The puzzle has come, been seen
and has conquered. Out of the
figuring that it has evoked the
slate and pencil industries are ex-
pecting a boom to Danish all
thought of a winter of discomfort
ment.
In its simplicity is the alluring
strength of this problem. The
statement of terms involves per-
feet frankness and no useless
multiplication of words. "Mary
is "a years DID," and so forth.
Adorable Mary! But behold at
the finish the leading question.
old is ANN"
Can you tell?
sit has long been a recognized
fact that extremes meet,o said
the up-to-date woman, but only
recently has it been demonstrated
that the twentieth century college
bred girl, who dotes on higher
educations, and all the cults en-
braced therein-can return grace
fully to the occupations of our
grand mothers, and achieve sue
cess. 1t seems that the know
lege of chemistry the up-to-date
college imbides in her alma mater
is being put into practical use and
college girls are developing into
profess onal, scientific bakers and
laundresses. Graduates of Lead
ing woman's colleges are organic
ing scientific tea rooms and res
taurants, while others accept po-
sitions as trained house keepers.
The fact is, women are mixing
brains with the work that comes
naturally to their sphere, and the
result is higher education is max
ing better, happier homes and the
professions of teaching, dress
making and like feminine callings
are not so over crowded and
consequently more remunerative
l sincerely trust that the good
work will go on until the brainiest
women of our land will consider
cooking as high calling, if not
higher than art or the stage. Let
the old fashioned Southern house
wife and the cultured twentieth
century girl combine and we have

Born to comfort and command"
