In too many cases he apparently does this delib- erately He seems to act on the theo- ry that it is the duty of all the neigh bors to suffer as much as he every time he is hurt. So he does his full share in loading all he can of his own discomfort on them. It never occurs to hirn-or if it does he is never moved by the idea-that these others also have their own private and individual aches and ails and that he has no more rigfc to load his upon them than they have to dump theirs upon him.

Right there an observer comes upon

Right there an observer comes upon the highly significant fact that the grunter is, usually, either an abnor- maliy conceited person, or an unusual ly selfish one. Perhaps he thinks that he is or ought to be an exception to the common lot and that he has the right to make a row if his exceptional ity is not recognized. This is simply self -conceit and vanity. Or perhaps he can't bear that anyone else should seem comfortable when he is not. This is selfshness, pure and undiluted.

 Are you a Grunter 2
 No, I don't mean simple pig; I mean that sort of man or woman who can't a approach a task without grooming over it's dreadfulness, and who can't work at it except to constant accompani- ment of gruats because of its hard ness
 The sort that squeals at a pin prick and goes into conniption fits at the first twinge from an honestly earned blister.
 The sort that calls on the whole available universe to sympathiZe with it's tremendous exertions and rub it's lame back, every time it bends over and picks up a pin.
 The sort that seems to assume it's own manufacture out of a special va riety Of clay, and to feel as a par ticular outrage that 1t should be com pelled- to take the same chances and meet the same trials and endure the same hardships and suffer the same aches as common critters made out Of common dirt

In the first place, erunting or whim- pering or whining over such occur rences or conditions does no good. In neither remedies the evil nor alIevi- ates it. It neither wards off suffering nor makes inevitable suffering any easier to bear
 Bear in mind that there's a world wide difference between mere grunting for the sake of the grunt and a req sonable appeal to such actual assist ance or relief as others can afford One would be actually heartless who should refuse to lend assistance to re- lieve another, when such assistance was in his power and offered any req sonable chance of being effective. The kind Of srunting am considering is not call for practical help but a maudlin whfnpering, not intended IS call for help but solely to draw at tent1on to the grunter's discomfort It does no good to any one, is not in tended to do good to any one, and therefore is without any excuse along that line.

 have known others who made more fuss over a scratch or an abrasion or bruise than many a French poiIu over mortal wound.
 Now, if there is one topic which, in itself, intrinsically considered, is ra- ther less interesting than any other on earth, it is that of somebody elses afls. Even doctors have to be paid for listening to them, right along and as a steady occupation.
 You can prove that this is upon the grunters themselves. All you need do, when one of them begins his lugubriOus wall about his own ills is to break in at the first pause with an equally long and detailed narration of how you felt that time when you had a bilious fever. Give the grunter a chance to hear with his own ears the sort of stuff he puts forth from his own mouth. It won't be long before he'll edge away from you as far as he can- He'll make it perfectly clear that he doesn't enjoy that style of conversation-excep when he's mak- ing it himself and about himself

 We'll admit that the roads are rough and the going bad; that the shoe too frequently pinches and the mosqui- toes too greediIy bite; that we don't often have what we want but do of ten have exactly and precisely what we do not want; that the Slough of Despond hasn't yet been bridged and that the climb to the Delectable Mountains is quite up-hiIlish and that the heights themselves usually prove very un-Delectable when reached.
