Advice.

Advice is a yelled but egotistical at
tempt to show your neighbor how you
surpass him intellectually. It is
magnifying glass which you hand to
him, after which you make certain that
you are standing at the proper focal
distance.
Advice is also used as sugar coat
ing for criticism, as diplomatic meth
cd of checking offensive conduct and
as a pastime.
There are two classes of people ebul-
lient with desire to give advice
those who have had experience and
those who have not.
A request for advice Is usually a
subtle form of fattery or else meth
Cd of lodging responsibility.
The person who is wise enough to
take good advice and the one who is
too wise to give it generally tie the
knot Of perfect friendship.
Advice is drug on the market. The
principal reason why the supply ex-
ceeds the demand Is because those who
need the most take the least.
Advice should never be followed. II
it is good advice 1t cannot be followed.
The only advice which Is good Ia that
which drives you.-Judge.

SO small that it would cost the whole
amount to collect it.
