says UNCLE CAV

All the world loves a good fellow %
but he is a fool who lets considera-
tons of good fellowship press him into
the rut of mediocrity. The typical
good fellow is a killer of time and
a waster of talent. He's too busy cul-
tivating miscellaneous friendships to
give the proper amount of attention to
his own ambitions His social side is
overdeveloped and the end is atrophy
of his vocational talents and, in just
that measure. failure.
He is burdened with many obliga-
tions. He is overcautious of exciting
the envy of others. Jealousy in a fell
low laborer gives him a pang that kills
an achievement. If he be an employee.
he prefers rather to have the easily
obtained favor of his fellow employees
than the hardly earned approval OF
his employers, which makes for pro-
motion. If he be an employer. he is
likely to value the opinion of his sub
ordinates above fair service obtained
at the risk of their displeasure and
that way. too, lies mediocrity.
The quality of typical good fellow
ship is not hardy. The good fellow"
is no fighter. He barriers his birth
right for the f1eeting smile of his
neighbors and gives over his own adj
vantage that the smile may linger.
Wherefore, the good fellow is too
often in reality a "bad fellow" and
his own worst enemy Copyright.

I've loved you Mistress mine. so dear

all of the people all of the time is because
that could not be read in the home cir
cle-he wrote a human being TO human

His other remarks were quite wise for
so young a man. His analysis went on
in about this way:
cry day with good writing as that OF
Dickens, but it can be produced every
day to be accepted in the homes without
any member of the family circle seeing
in it's columns anything to which obiec-

abundance of impoIiteness. 1t is con-
Stantly alleged that the men whose work
brings them in contact with the public
acquire in this country an offensiveness

VINO did not move fast enough to please
him The guard was we'll beaten by the
other passengers, dragged to a police sta

case was that of an L. employee who
was guilty of inexcusable insolence. The
justice before whom the hearing was held
assessed damages against the company.
For a permanent remedy perhaps this
latter method OF procedure may prove
more effective than the beating admins
