Uncommon Sense The Only Excuse for Conceis
BY JOHN BLAKE
BY JOHN BLAKE

TT IS true that many Of the great
L men and women of the world have
been conceited.
julius Caesar was one OF the greatest
boasters of all time.
NapOleon's best known photograph is
that Of an extremely vain man, who
folds his arms and frowns at an in
ferior world.
Thackeray frankly admired his own
genius, and rather looked down on peo-
pie who were less gifted.
TN THE acquaintance of almost every =
body are a number of conceited
people, many Of them people Of in
itelligenCe and Importance.
Perhaps these people would be better
off IL they lacked conceit. Perhaps It
would be easier to live with them II
they were not quite so appreciative of
their own ability.
But they Mt least have an excuse
for their good opinion of themselves.
They have accomplished something
worth while accomplishing, and the
world admires them as they admire
themselves.
1t is in stupid people, who are often
conceited, that this quality is unen :
durable.
If Edwin Booth or Thomas Jefferson
had been conceited-which neither of
them was-they would have been par.

cause Of some physical adaptability gets
an important part begins to think that
the world should bow down to him,
he soon makes a nuisance OF himself.
TT IS natural for people to desire tc
L admire themselves. And it is justi
fable X before they begin their self =
worship they do something that is ad.
mirable.
The self-made man, who without any
start in life becomes a painter or a
novelist or great statesman has a
right to be conceited II he chooses to.
He will not have SO much fun as he
would otherwise il he is conceited, but
no one will deny It to him.
But the youth who thinks he is
good looking. or the girl who fancies
she is beautiful, soon becomes intolera :
BILE If they parade their vanity in
public.
HOWEVER handsome the youth, OF
- however pretty the girl, they will
find, IL they look about them, others
whose personal attractions are greater
What beauty they have is not their
doing--it was conferred upon them BY
nature, as for that matter was the
talent which many geniuses are con
ceited over.
Better not be conceited at all. bu,
II one must be conceited he will dc
well to do something that will make
his conceit less offensive to others.
