LITTLE REMARKS THAT HURT
Two Unklnd Phrases, often Untrue
and Unjustified, That Our Juniors
May Well Avoid.

Think before you speak," says an
old sage. and our juniors may we'll
ponder over his advice. For there are
words that wound more deeply than
weapons. and 1t would be difficult to
find any utteranoes more vexing than
the two following; 81 told you sol"
and Just what | expected" With
slight variations In the last men.
toned. those two remarks are as COM
mon as they are unjustified.
They are unjustified because they
are SO often untrue. The person who
tells you that such or such happen.
ing is just what she had anticipated
is often either talking for the sake OF
saying something, or pretending to
wisdom which she does not possess. 1t
Is safe to say, In nine cases out of ten,
that she never thought anything about
1t till that very moment
She really does not mean what she
says. What she does mean is this:
If had given thought to the matter,
| should have arrived at the conclusion
that the accident is just what might
have been anticipated
AS a matter of fact, people get into
the habit OF saying that kind of thing
without considering the truth Of what
they say. 81 told you sol" Is frequently
used. although the speaker has not
told you sol" 1t Is a fiction pure and
simple.
Now, what is the use of making such
remarks? Generally speaking, when q
person has committed some error or
done something unwise. she suffers
the penalty, and is sufficiently vexed
about the whole thing without having
to bear the stab Of an aggravating OBJ
servation which either has no founda-
ton or is tantamount to an expression
of superior wisdom. Does 1t help us,
when We have been foolish, to have
some one boast of being so much wiser
than We?
There are, naturally. rev cases
where the remark is perfe city justi-
fed, and in those instances 1t may be
that the unwise person deserves the
added sting. Yet it is questionable II
the utterance OF either of those ex.
pressions does any good. To II told
you sol" one might reply: Yes, 1t Is
true you did, but why hit me when
am down? am suffering enough with
out that"
Perhaps a little thought on this
subject may prevent much annoyance
to others.

GAME OF ZOOLOGY AMUSING

This game will give all the more

then TO draw with the pencil on the

The leader of the game then collects
the figures and with paste or much

figure out and each figure with its
number beside It,
Now give TO each player a sheet of
paper with the numbers written down
the left hand side-as many numbers
as there are drawings-and ask them
to write opposite to each number the
name of the animal that the numbered
figure is intended to represent.
Here is where the fun comes in, for
many of the drawings will prove rath-

guesses the greatest number OF ami

In town In Georgia there was an

should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached vigorous sermon, I'M

the close Of the open-air service one
Of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
81 don't suppose that you knew that
the editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here When you
pulled off your coat"

give the effect of tangle which can
only be unraveled by cutting the

the Illusion by saving a little on the
