You See the Point, of Course, if You

 No person who values his self respect and who doesn't want 10 be lied to will ever say Do you follow meF when expounding a subject to a friend or ac. Quaintance. There are so many req sons against the use of this interrogn' tory that only two or three of the best ones need be mentioned.
 If you are enuuciating words of wis dom the chances are nine hundred and ninety-eight out of nine hundred and ninety-nine that you are not being fol, lowed. On the other hand. if you are enunClating foolish words 1t makes no difference whether you are being fol. lowed or not A still more important reason, however, Is embodied In the simple but unacceptable fact that no man can ever be quite sure that he un- derstands what the other fellow is try ing to express.
 Therefore the proper answer to the question Do you follow mel" is al, ways. q don't know" That, of course, makes the question Itself absurd, and it Is made Stiu more absurd by the fact that few are honest enough to an. swer. "I don't know" but insist upon lying and saying. "Oh, yes; l follow you all right enough"
 It Is clear, therefore, that the effort Is quite hopeless. If you have some thing to express all you can do is to pick out the most intelligent person or persons you can find. express your idea as well as you can and let 1t go ut that Do you get the Idea Life.

mentary education, and when thirteen
years of age entered a newspaper Office
as compositor. The result of his exper-
fence in printing offices is said to have
been shown in the careful punctuation Of
his manuscripts. He still was working
"at the case" when, at the age of fifteen
or sixteen, he wrote "Old Dan Tucker"
A year later he enlisted in the United
States Army as fifer, and during his
service also learned to drum. More
than sixty years later, after his death,
there was found among his manuscripts
one entitled "Emmett's Standard Drum

fife and drum according to the Ash

After serving a full enlistment he
travelled with various circus bands. At
that time negro minstrelsy was as yet

1t was not until some years later that
the regulation evening dress was adopted
as a costume most suitable to the mock
dignity of minstrelsy.
