Anodyne Charlie was his nickname.
because he was always trying to quiet
his excitable friends. and Is frequently
succeeding.
On the train one morning. two OF
his friends began Quarreling over =
subject about which neither knew any
thing. and Anodyne Charlie made an
effort to steer them into sunshine
In the evening two wooden people
killed enough time at the ticket win
dow to cause him and friend to miss
the express train.
While his friend fumed away on the
platform about the delay, Anodyne
Charlie began studying how to squeeze
some honey out of the experience,
and one hopeful remark was that they
night meet somebody on the next ex-
press train which would make II worth
while to wait
But Anodyne Charlie had some ex-
perience all alone. That evening when
he went into his dark den at the
house. he knocked his shin against a
chair which had been carelessiy left
in the doorway and after he turned on
the light he found that his pet paper
weight. railroad engine. was missing
from an important pile Of papers on
his desk.
Before he could take any of his own
medicine. he began talking about that
paper weight and chair to the whole
household, but before he got through.
he began telling stories of the day
which more than balanced the criti-
cisms he began with.
Anodyne Charlie earned his name
by getting the habit of thinking things
over and seeing that excitable mo-
ments are the places where we do
things that we wish we hadn't done.
He had never been able to forget
his words and manners on a certain
day in restaurant.
1t spoiled his lunch to have anybody
wait for his chair or stool and he al
ways put for roomy places.
This day he went to a counter be-
fore it was supplied with walters and
he waited five minutes, when another
man came in and sat with him, and
