THE other day good conversa-
u tionalist" came to our town. And
when he went away I was wishing
he could have been preserved in al
cohol or something or other as hor-
rible example to all the men, women,
young boys and girls who lay awake
at night worrying because they do not
know how to keep up conversation.
There are so many reasons why, at
least, little silence is golden. In the
first place, If you are a perfect wiz
at talking, you are very apt to tell
everything you know on the occasion
OF first meeting and have nothing
left Tor subsequent calls. In the Sec
ond place, a bit Of silence on the part
OF one gives opportunity for a little
talk on the part of the other.
The good conversationalist" was in
the hosiery business and was, in truth,
what many people describe as fine
talker." There was nothing on which
he did not have an opinion and there
was nothing mentioned which did not
remind him Of the time he was in
the hospital, or The time he crossed
the ocean, or the time he was asked
to stand up as best man for the vice
president of the firm.
SO far as keeping the conversation
going was concerned, well, there were
times when we thought 1t never would
stop. WYNN
NHE man or woman who cannot
L keep up a perpetual string of words
need not worry. Friendships are not
built on such automatic Foundations
"A little calm and easy silence that
gives another a feeling Of repose is
OF INFINITELY more value to a person
than any torrent Of talk.
There Is something about tho nav
son who l:nows how to keen niiet +.
something interesting, because vol,
never quite know what he is think

with Japanese that were not first ap-

Washington, Harry Chandler, president
of the company, said to-day that his
company had submitted bill of $5l3,000
for loss of cattle, horses and other sup
plies in the Madero revolution.
I'VE have had no difficulty with the
government of Lower California since
Estaban Cantu came there as military
chief and remained in civil authority,
said Mr.. Chandler, "but in revolutionary
days it was a different story. After the
Madero revolution, when there were a
number of small revolutionist chiefs
through that section, the cavalry was
mounted on our horses, the cavalrymen
were riding on our saddles, the wagon
trains were using our wagons, and gener-
ally they took what they fancied. We
submitted bill of S5l3,000 for loss Of
cattle, horses and other supplies in the
Madero revolution and the bill is still
in process Of adjustment with the Mex
lean government"
