Have Something to Say. Say II.
Then Stop
From Letters From a Self Made Mer-
chant TO His Son." by George
Horace LOrtmer

Dear Pierrepont-Yours of the 4th
has the right ring, and it says more to
the number of words used than any
letter that | have ever received from
you. | reaAember reading once that
some fellows use language to conceal
thought, but it's been my experience
that q good many more use it instead
of thought.
A business mans conversation should
be regulated by fewer and simpler
rules than any other function of the
human animal. They are:
Have something to say.
Say it.
Stop talking.
Beginning before you know what you
want to say and keeping on after you
have said it lands q merchant in q law
suit or the poorhouse, and the first Is
short cut to the second. 1 maintain
legal department here, and it costs a
lot of money, but it's to keep me from
going to law.
It's all right when you are calling on
u RlTl OT ldlKllR WlI0 lrle0uS dIUPr ulD-
ner to run conversation like q Sunday
school excursion, with stops to pick
flowers, but in the office your sentences
should be the shortest distance possible
between periods. Cut out the introduce
ton and the peroration and stop be-
fore you get to secondly. You've got to
preach short sermons to catch sinners,
and deacons won't believe they need
long ones themselves. Give fools the
first and women the last word. The
meats always in the middle of the
sandwich. OF course a little butter on
either side of it doesn't do any harm if
it's intended for a man who likes but
ter.
Remember, too, that it's easier to
look wise than to talk wisdom. Say
less than the other fellow and listen
more than you talk, for when a mans
listening he isn't telling on himself and
he's flattering the fellow who is. Give
most men a good listener and most wo-
men enough note paper and they'll tell
all they know.

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in

THE NEW YEAR FOR US.

The year 1903 began auspiciously
for US and for the country at large.
The 40th anniversary Of the issuance
Of the proclamation of emancipation
by the immortal Lincoln was graQd1y
celebrated by public meetings held in
most Of the large cities and a few
small ones, on the first.
The President of the United States
has declared that unreasoning pre-
judice against color shall receive no
consideration by his administration
His course in the case of Mrs. Minnie
NJ. Cox, postmistreSS at 1ndianoa, Miss.
speaks louder than words. Mrs. Cox
had filled the Office of postmistress at
Indianola most acceptably for about
six years. She was compelled to resign
her position almost at the muZZle Of
the gun. Our great and good President
Roosevelt has laid her resignation on
the table, and ordered the post Office
at Indianola to be closed and remain
closed until the lawless element there
accept her as postmistress, meanwhile
directing that all mail addressed TO
1ndianola be sent to Greenville, Miss.
Mrs. Cox is endorsed by some Of the
leading democrats of her community
the democratic state Senators there
being the sureties on her bond. Not
withstanding this the ruf1anly element
tnere nave practically taken the post
office away from her. The President
invokes the law of God himself when
he makes the whole community suffer
for the sins which that community per-
mits a prejudiced element to perpe-
trate. Let the Negro continue to prove
himself worthy and capable and there
will soon be as many Roosevelts as
there are sensible whites, made so
by our President.
