and expensive. and swine are not

and expensive, and swine are not
discriminating.
Tom, Dick or Harry may listen
curiously as you recount your dis
putes with your mother-in-loW, your
hard luck story about losing your
position, or your eagerly given YER
sion of that slightly questionable
episode in which you were concern
ed. They may even be profuse in eX-
pressions of commiseration. But in
nine cases out of ten they are either
profoundly bored, or they are apt
to twist your sobbing recital into
story in which you do not particular
ly shine.
We are all of us inclined in mo-
ments of stress or resentment to PIN
our hearts upon our sleeve. That
is an excellent place, if one wants
to furnish food for the DAVIS; but it
is upsetting to the circulatory system
The best place for a heart is safely
inside the ribs, and its throbs should
be reserved for the ear which has
a right to rest against ones breast
or for the stethescope.
Speech is always silver and silence
golden-the present ratio of values
between the two metals being some
thing less than 16 to l - and we
would all do better if we applied this
metaphorically in discussing our per-
sonal affairs.
Why, I wonder when "the world
is so full of a number of things
when there is so much to talk about,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-10-30

do we persistently bark back to the
First Person Singular and its tribu-
lations.
Make 'em laugh. Make 'em cry.
Make 'em wait"
You will never do it by talking
about yourself. If they laugh then,
it will be IN their sleeves. If they
cry, it will be crocodile tears. And
you must be sure that they will not
wait They have already taken your
number. They know just as much
as they are interested in knowing
about you, and they do not care to
be bored by listening to any ex-
purgated and diluted bulletins that
you may choose to put forth.
On the other hand, silence is a
lure and q constant attraction. For
it suggests mystery, and mystery is
always fascinating.
For centuries men have stood be-
fore the silent sphinx where it rises
above the yellow wastes of the des-
ert, and have Yainly tried to puzzle
out its meaning.
For years too, men have sacrificed
their youth, their health, their COM
fort and often their lives in effort
after effort to reach the North Pole.
But now, since Peary has come back
to tell us Just where it is and what
1t LOOKS ike, we near liO IiOlG VI
Polar expeditions. There is no long
er any mystery about it. 1t is just
commonplace patch of ice and
snow.
The aim of every lawyer in try
ing a case is to shift the burden
of proof to the other side. When
we begin to apologize, to explain,
to justify ourselves, we voluntarily
assume the task of establishing our
assertions. One never hears man
boasting of his honesty that one
does not begin to wonder what shady
trick he is trying to cover up. The
woman who doth protest too much"
always arouses suspicion.
We are harder on ourselves than
the law is, for it presumes every
man to be innocent until proven gull
| ly. Whereas, we in our endeavor to
clutch and hold the bubble, reputa-
ton, are forever seeking to prove
ourselves innocent.
The most difficult thing in the
world is to keep quiet under CEN
sure, under doubt, under misrepre-
sentation. Kipling's "If" adorns
most bedroom walls, but it should
be on all:
IF you can keep your head when
| all about you
! Are losing theirs and blaming it
| on youj
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
| But make allowance for their doubt
ing, too;
If you can wait and not be tired
by waiting,
Or. being hated, don't give way TO
hating,
And yet don't look too good nor
| talk too wise"
Wasn't it Bismarck who said,
Never retract, never apologize,
| never explain" For it makes lit
tie difference what you say. If your
skirts are clean, time may safely
! be trusted to right the wrong, the
| injustice and the misunderstanding.
| And if you have committed a folly
or mistake, drop it in the pit of
oblivion. Talking about 1t only keeps
| it alive and growing.
| We wouldn't be human If we
didn't do things now and then that
require explanation, retraction or
| apology. We needn't, however, be
such fools as to take the world into
! our confidence about them. So never
retract, never apologize, never eX-
| plain-except to the one person to
whom the apology, the retraction
and the explanation is due.

Make 'em laugh. Make 'em cry.

That was the rule Tom Taylor,
the English dramatist, laid down
for the writing of a successful play;
and, by the same token, it is an ex-
cellent formula to follow in life.
Don't be too ready with your
condolences. Let people guess
bit about you. If / were a Polonius,
called upon to advise a young man
or young woman starting out upon
a career, that is the first injunc-
tion l would give. 1t will not only
add to the interest you arouse, but
will surely keep you out of trouble.
AS the English policeman warns
q person when he makes an arrest
Remember, anything you say may
be used against YOU"
There is more money and more
credit to be gained by keeping a
still tongue than by eXtolling your
virtues and accomplishments, no
matter how genuine they may be.
Your listeners never believe half that
YOU tell them about yourself, any
way, unless it is bad; and then thy
have shrewd suspicion that it is
considerably worse than YOU have
made out.
These are truisms which every
body knows and recognizes. Yet let
trouble or misfortune come, and
we hasten to unburden ourselves to
any one we can get to hear u.s. Let
us suffer accusation or blame, and we
Immediately begin to explain and to
eXculpate ourselves. Let success or
achievement be our portion, and
we chortle in our joy to the first
chance wayfarer, and strive to i'm
press him with our Importance.
At least this is so in ninety eight
people out of a hundred. You and
I are, of course, the shining except
ions.
And the reason for it is the uni
Versal human craving for sympathy
and understanding. A happiness
unshared loses half its zest. We
hate to lose the good opinion and
approval of our fellows. Misery loves
company.
This is all perfectly natural and
perfectly right. The Church, when
it established the confessional realiz-
ed and provided for a great, human
demand and satisfaction one of the
strongest impulses of SHINING and
Sorrowfui mortals.
Merely to talk our troubles out

Lucille herself had not known
where to go. 1t is always harder,
anyway, with a woman. OF course,
there were people she might visit
but she was in no mood for frivolity
and after partaking of a cup of
coffee at one of the restaurants she
began to retrace her steps to the
apartment. Safely inside, she decid-
ed to stay although the look of the
rooms. desolate and forsaken,
brought a tightness to her throat
that was unbearable. She wondered
if it would be possible for her to
stay there alone, and finally the idea
occurred to her of staying there in
the daytime and going to an apart
ment hotel at night. She wondered
how long it would take Bobby to
decide matters, and she cuddled up

in a corner of the davenport, her eyes
or the clock, trying to decide what
Bobby was doing now.
Her eyes wandered to the door.
She could hear that dear little click
of the latch when he fitted his key
into it every evening. Dear Bobby,
how she loved him. Why, he must
be beyond Stamford now, and we'll
on his way. She wondered why he
was going, and why she had sug-
gested such thing. Suppose Bobby
decided that he had made mistake
and didn't want her any longer.
Well she had done all this; it would
be her fault.
Suddenly there came a familiar
sound, and she looked hastily toward
the door. Some one was fitting a
key into the lock. The next minute
Bobby flushed and breathless, was

Mr.. Albert Jones, 452 Sixth street,
San Diego, California. writes:
"I take much pleasure in telling
you how much good Peruna has done

ach troubles for more than two years

months ago. A friend of mine told

Really, I think it is best for both
of us, Bobby" she said evenly, her
soft, throaty voice deep with emo
titon.
Yes" the man returned bitterly,
1T is, if you feel that way about it,"
well, it seems to be the only real
way to settle it."
IF there's anything to settle.
But surely you see that there is
something to settle, don't you? Elise
why should we quarrel as we do?"
1T doesn't matter, I'm willing to
do as you say about it."
"All right. VIII you go away or
shall I?'
The man thought desperately of
the lonely apartment, every nook and
corner of which was crammed to
the brim with dear little intimacies,
and hesitated.
Perhaps it would be oetter If we
both went away" said the girl quick
ly. She, too, had had a sudden
glimpse of the apartment without
Bobby, and brave as she was prov
ing herself to be in this crisis she
had no desire too be left there alone
with her memories.
And so it was settled that way,
and the following day the little
apartment was locked up, and two
people stole away from it, each
downhearted and bitter.
How they had come to quarrel
Lucille herself did not know. 1t had
begun with small difference and
had come to the point finally when
neither of them wanted to give in
and, worse still, they did not seem
to agree on anything. Lucille, in her
own heart, knew that if she deter
mined to keep cool and give way in
an emergency she could keep Bobby
from getting stubborn.
But ineNita hlN her emntinns Were

too much for her; she lost her tenn
per when she found herself worsted
in an argument, and Bobby, tense
and white with emotion that he was
too proud to show, refused to say
anything. This state of affairs lasted
until Lucille discovered that Bobby's
very .nearness almost always gained
the battle for him. She did not
seem to be able to hold out; moth
ing mattered very much but the
warmth of his arms about her, and
the moment that happened both for
got what the argument had been.
Bobby knew that if he said right
out loud the thoughts in his heart
he would not grow cold and bitter
and incapable of speech. He knew
this fact as well as Lucille knew her
fault, but until final break had been
made he had not thought very much
about putting it into effect. He had
decided to run up to Boston for the
present, and as he watched the fly
ing scenery he thought more
thoughts in a few minutes than he
had ever thought before in his life.
If Lucile had meant what she
said, was this really the end? And
if it were, what was he going to do
without Lucille? The more he

everything seemed. After all. wasn't
all this fuss the result of that pride
of his that he might better sacri-
flee than give up Lucille? And as he
thought, the more distasteful did his
trip seem. A thought occurred to
him which he decided to put into i'm
mediate action.
The express stopped in a few min
utes to put on the steam engine, and,
gathering up his things as the train
came to a quick stop, he was outside
and on the platform, waiting for the
next local back to the city. He felt
that if he must think, he would
rather do his thinking at home. 1t
had been a mistake to come away at
all, and the closed apartment seemed
the only place in the world where
he wanted to be.

Only a woman who has watched
her complexion change from wrinkled,
coarse, sallow ugliness to clear, soft,
youthful beauty can realize the feel
ing of joy that comes over one when
first she sees her own careworn, aged
looking skin actually regaining it's
girlish freshness; yet all this and
more may be accomplished by a new
process called Skin Osmosis, which
any woman may easily induce by the
simple application of warm water and
roseated cream. The warm water
softens the rough skin Icuticle and
opens the pores. The absorption of
the cream helps to remove the half
dead skin scales and brings out the
fresh, beautiful skin from underneath,

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

There are all sorts of pretty
materials that can be used for
this little kimono, but the challis
with the bright colored flower
design and the ribbon bands
illustrated makes a very charm

best liked materials for light

in a variety of picturesque de-
signs, but you could use one of
the Original silks or crepes while
there are a variety of other ma

HUNTERS KILL
TAME TURKEYS
Mifflin County Poultryman
Loses Large Number of
His Fine-Bred Birds

Lewistown, Pa, Dec. 19.-Many wild
turkeys were killed in this section
during the recent hunting season,
and as usual there were hunters
eager to make a reputation who did
not hesitate to kill a tame turkey if
they were afforded a chance. This
class of hunter makes so many tres
pass notices possible and hurts the
chances OF others to hunt legitimate
game on many acres of land. One
act In this line occurred to the turkey
flock of j. d. McClintock, whose pens
are near Gibboney Park, Mifflin coun-
ty. Mr.. McClintock makes a business
of raising fine turkeys and has by
patience and hard work built up one
of the finest flocks in the country.
His flock contains much wild blood
on account of wild turkeys coming
from the mountain and mixing with
his flock, giving him birds hard to
beat for fine breeding. Mr. McClin-
tock takes great pride in his flock
and hundreds of people who have
seen them admired them. Last year
two hunters, who are known, killed
two birds out of this flock and took
them home, saying that they had
killed them on the mountains and
that they were wild ones. This year
two men, who are reported as known
killed the finest and highest-priced
gobbler owned by Mr.. Clintock and
said they had killed a wild turkey.
