The Man With a GrOuch-Pity Him.
Preserve us from the man who
becomes so "set in his ways" that
he cannot be told anything. He is
marrow and selfish. And yet he
serves a purpose in life. His friends
can use him to laugh at, when the
cheerful stories run out. He may in
terest and arouse you if you see him
occasionally, but fancy being in the
same house with him.
II is pathetic to talk with him, for
II is impossible to convince him that
you are trying to make a friend OF
him, or that you hope to help him in
his troubles. He refuses to accept
modern inventions and new ideas. His
favorite resting place is a rut. Here
he loves to stick and to knock the
world for not clinging to old-fashion-
ed ways of living. He forgets that
a rut is grave with the ends push
ed out
The automobile is unsafe, eleyat-
ors dangerous, women's clothes atroc-
ious, and present day dancing not to
be mentioned in a lighted room.
The trouble with this man is that
he stands still and thinks that by
preaching his views to mankind they
will become impressed and live and
do as he advocates. Poor gentleman!
He hasn't been in prison. and yet he
suffers from sleepy sickness. No man
can awaken him.
The man who is so self-satisfed
is to be envied if the axiom where
ignorance is bliss be true, but who
is seeking ignorance. in this genera
ton? What the world wants is the
man who knows. but does not de-
spise the advice Of wiser heads or dis
courage the use Of new tools.
DON'T JAW BACK.
Never talk back sich things is reper-
hensible:
A feller only hurts hisself that Jaws
a man that's hot;
In a quarrel, eff you'll only keep your
mouth shet and act sensible,
The man that does the talkin' II
git worsted every shot!
Never talk back to a feller that'l
abusin you
Jest let him carry on, and rip, an,
snort, and swear;
And when he finds his blamin' an
E defamin s jest amusin you
You've got him clean kaflummixe
-and you want to hold hir
n there!
Never talk back and wake up tn
whole community
And call a man falslfier, over lav
:, or politics.
+ You can lift and land him furder an
II with gracefuller impunity
:. Win one good jolt of silence tha
4 half dozen KICKS.

The Value of Being Pleasant.
solomon said that a good name ia I
be chosen rather than great riches an
loving favor rather than silver and col,
We suppose, that what is meant b
loving favor is good nature or a sum,
pleasant disposition that leads peopi
on every occasion TO be affable and col
dial to all when they come in contac
In fact we might say that loving favo
is Just the opposite of surliness G
crankiness.
some people are like sunshine whel
