You Apply the Gauge Indicated Here
and Learn Whether You Are a Pubead

The mind of the Pinhead grasps only
actual present conditions. He cannot
look ahead; he sees only the means to
the end, never the end. His neighbor
Smith mortgages his house to enable
him to put through a deal which en-
sures future profit, but which demands
ready cash. The Pinhead grabs only
the fact that Smith has mortgaged his
house. Therefore, If Smith needs money
sufficiently to mortgage his house Smith
must be broke" Mortgages and bank
ruptcy are synonymous terms in the
mind of the Pinhead.
The Pinhead is sometimes the origi-
nator Of gossip and scandal. because he
sees only obvious facts. He does not
reason or look for motives. What APP
pears to be, IS, to the Pinhead.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown quarrel and
shortly Mr.. Brown goes West on q
trip the length of which. Mrs. Brown
states, Is indefinite. 1t is all very
clear to the Pinhead. Brown has de-
serted his wife and shortly she will
apply for n divorce. 1t never occur
to him thai Brown al possibly have
any other business than that of which
he. the Pinhead, knows.
The merchant or grocer who cheats
in business is a Pinhead. Just once,
or twice, or maybe for a long time, he
can sell an inferior article, or give short
measure and make a few cents or dol
lars thereby, but, sooner or later, by
these acts he viii lose double and treble
the amount he has made. If he were
not a Pinhead he would realize that
the small present gain is not WORTH the
risk of large future loss
The fruit man who fills the bottom
of the basket with rotten peaches and
congratulates himself upon having
worked them off, is a Pinhead. The
person who buys that basket will re-
member the peaches in the bottom lorg
after he has forgotten the excellent
ones on top. The fruit man loses a Gus
toner for the sake of the immediate
fifteen or twenty cents.
The man who refuses TO work at
any other trade than his own when he
and his family are In need is a Pin
head. Yet there are many such. who.

Here You'll Find This Variety of
the Human Race Rather
Frankly Described.

nINHEADS, my children, are in
digenous to no particular climate
or soil. They flourish every
where-North. South, East and West.
They speak all tongues and dialects.
They are rich, poor n moderately
well-to-do. Usually, but not always,
they are eminently respectable. The
mental callbre of a Pinhead is 22-short.
It may not be too sweeping an as
sertion to make If one says that at least
one-half Of the population are Pin
heads. You know Pinheads; I know
Pinheads; possibly we are Pinheads
ourselves, which may account in part
for the unerring instinct with which
we recognize other Pinheads.
Male Pinheads usually occupy sub
ordinate positions in large establish
ments and offices. In department stores
and railroad offices they flourish. the
various departments of the govern
ment have Upon their payrolls an army
of Pinheads. Sometimes they fill cler-
ical positions. sometimes they are petty
engineers, or surveyors, or supervisors,
or discussing agents, or s~tenographers.
But first and always they are Pin
heads.
Once the Pinhead gets a Job" he
holds ON to it. He never loses 1t,
neither is he promoted. He merely
draws his salary and grows from a
young Pinhead into an old one. Be
cause he never does anything of suffi-
cient Importance TO call attention to
himself either in the way OF criticism
or praise he has a feeling that the
smoothness of his life Is due to the
very excellent judgment which he dis
plays in directing it.
1t is only by having faults and being
Jumped for them that we learn to
be lenient and tolerant of the faults in
others; but the Pinhead having no OBJ
vious faults, is harsh in his Judgment
