When Silence 10 Golden

When you don't know, keep silence On such occasions silence is golden. The man who cannot control himself Is not free man. He is the sport of every wind that blows. He is for some. thing when he has just talked with a man who Is for 1t. He is quite as strongly against it after listening to one who Is against it. and will be just as ready to change again under some other persons influence. His opinion Is valueless because 1t is never hts own. It is we'll to think carefully of sub Iect before expressing an opinion on t. Do not allow yourself to he influenced by speclous reasoning. still less by talk in which the'9 is no reason. Tho more important the subject, the moro .eed of se:f.control.-E.xchange.

Advice to Girls.

Little girl, the best thing for you to do is to get the idea out of your head that you can marry that wild Joy and reform him. That boys mother is old CT .han you and she has had more ex- perience, and if her older years of teaching, pleading and prayer have not brought results, you have no job that an amateur can do cut out for you. Forget all about him, and you will be happier in the long run. It often takes dynamite, a stump puller and dry cleaning on top of that to weed cut wild oats.-Emporia Gazette.
