Someone has SAID that ''bore is a
fellow who insists upon talking about
himself when you want to talk about
yourself. That is good definition of
pair of bores. And the most amusing
thing IN social life is to see such people
lock horns conversationally. But a
real bore is one who insists upon talk
ing when he has nothing to say. Such
people like TO set their mouths to going
and sit down and listen to themselves.
A successful talker has something in
teresting to say and says it interesting
ly. You can always tell when you are
interesting. You can tell if you are
People who are being bored can no more
conceal the pain of it than they can
conceal the pain of toothache. When
you see them drumming on the table
with their fingers, shifting their posi-
tons In the chairs, gazing helplessly
from one object to another, you may
know it is time to close your talk
One day last month man rushed
into my office and shouted hoarse and
heartless hoot. When l looked at him
knew he had slipped mental cog,
and l was in for the time of my life"
His face looked like a well scrambled
egg, and his nose pointed to fifteen
minutes to six o'clock In fact he
looked like thirty years of suffering
and the tag end of a mis-spent life. All
this fury and buster was caused be-
cause had stated truth and the COM
munity had pinned the statement onto
him. 1t has always been hard for me
to understand why a man lived and
acted 1.-The bad man." but wanted the
world to think him an angel. From
now on if people want me to mention
them as good angels they must live as
good angels should, or they will be
classified as bad angels.

SOME THINGS
and OTHER THINGS

From the way some people act, you
are forced to think they are waiting
around for the goddess Success to kid
nap them. They always talk about a
man born to be successful, while if he
is born to be poor, he may as well &C
quire a taste for prunes as soon as
possible.
A successful young man will not
smoke coffin nails;' will sidestep all
"booze;" will go to but few parties;
will never miss an opportunity to ask
pertinent questions; will force well in
formed people to "give up" useful in
formation; will devote most of his even
ings to reading good books, magazines,
or papers; will be johnnie on the
spot" when there is work to be done;
and will be found at Sunday School and
church on Sunday.
An ape is an animal that bears a
striking resemblance to man. One pc
cular trait it has is its tendency to imi-
tate the actions and habits of others
about it. From this we get the ex-
preston that man is aping others. -
The world is full of people who do
nothing but ape. Do you belong to the
ape family?
The 81 can't boy is almost the sick
hest, mushiest one of all. He should
have been baked few hours longer.
He has such a bad case of curvature of
the spine that it is always curving
backward in a desperate attempt to
find the soft side of his mothers Nor
ris chair. He needs change of diet.
He needs to be boarded for about ten
days on diet of willow-sprouts soaked
in strong vinegar to make them tough.
This diet well administered clears the
system of all microbes antagonistic to
progress, and stimulates the memory.
