For Statesmen.

No man is ever criticized for having
pleasant, gentle manners; and you
don't have to be q six-foot AdOnis to
have this faculty, either.
No man ever lost anything by being
clean and spruce-spick and span. II
you are slovenly about your person,
you usually become just SO about your
business, and buyers know it.
Don't approach a gentleman as If
you had known him all your life.
Don't stick out one hand, and, with
the other, shove out cigar. Be mod
est and retiring. Speak slowly and
forcefully, and when you speak, say
something! Cab Is excess baggage.

ninety out of hundred split on

"Jim Jones is a good fellow and 6
worker?" More often you hear, "Jim
is just a good fellow."-New Success

There's fellow who comes up to our
house as often as any one would wish
and my mother treats him very nice
He seems to enjoy it. He goes home
and tells his mother how we'll he cares
for our family. He used to tell me he
cared for me and no other. Now my
girl friends say that he says he would
care for me more if I was little stuck
up and did not show him that l care
for him; and others tell me that he says

you pay no attention to this attitude
perhaps she will soon get over it. BE
