Keen a Birdie on the TONGUE

Talking too much seems to be dis
ease. With one 1t takes the form of
"reminiscences. This harmless old soul
takes great pleasure in telling about
the 'ole swimmin' hole" the last log
gin bee," and other events in which
he featured. Another takes 1t out on
the neighbors. He tells you line of
conduct and then tries to get you to
declare that 1t is shameful. It's all
the nstghbors, of course. Or it's some
invention the fellow has. It's going to
revolutionize things some day. He's
never tired detailing its merits. The
only thing wrong with 1t is that it's
not possible of anything good out
side the inventors mind. Perhaps it's
politics. The great national problems
are settled daily by wise ones all
over the land. Sometimes it's love
talk. The fellow gets enamored cas-
lily. and makes love to every maiden
that will listen to him. The result
is he says too much and gets into
trouble. Take counsel and beware Of
your line Of talk.

From that moment Ned set his wits
at work to accomplish the design i'll

he did not try to discourage Joel. He
knew that 1t would be of no use.
! Joel's mind was nightly set upon his
mission.
The morning after their arrival in
Plymouth Joel and Ned started out to
call upon the theatrical agent, whose
card the circus man had given to
Joel.
They located him in an office. the
walls of which were covered with
portraits Of stage celebrities, from
leading tragedians down to vaudeville
song and dance favorites. Joel stated
his mission.
'Ah, l see," bowed the agent, with
twitching smile at the corner of his
lips. "All right-ten dollars, please

refuses to take ONCE. He was away

not afford to pay fare.
