Science Of Magnanimity.

A farmer sold his place and bought
farm in another county, because his
neighbors were SO mean. With his
family and his furniture and his cat
tie on the road, he stopped at a spring
near where lived an old fellow who
should have been teaching philosophy
but who, on account Of lack of educa-
ton, had missed his calling. This
farmer told the old philosopher how
, mean his neighbors were and that he
| hoped he would never see them again.
The old philosopher said. "They are
just as bad or worse where you are
going" And they were.
| Soon after that another farmer,
who was moving, stopped and told the
old philosopher that the only reason
better school and that ii nearly broke
his heart to leave his neighbors. The
cd philosopher said, "You will find
them Just as good and as kind whore
you are going And he did.

not want to forget those who have
opposed him. Any doctor will tell
YOU that this is true.
