The secret of Couzens seems to
be that, despite the softening that

He has called the bluffs of many
others, but it is not on record that
anyone ever called his. He is a
typical high-pressure business man,

he is said to have a singular belief
that there should be common honesty

There are men who could say that,
but there is probably only one would
say it and mean it.

he said il in the face of a govern

to take more than ten millions away
from him.
when the governments $4O,OOO,OOO

stockholders began in Detroit the
defendant Couzens was conspicuously
absent. Each day he was to be
seen on the floor of the senate
and his genial grin was as frequent
as ever.
That's what I hire lawyers for"
he replied when someone asked him
why he didn't go out to his home
town and take more interest in the
attempt to take this big slice out
of his fortune.
After weary weeks in Detroit, the
trial before the tax board of appeals
came here. Surely, his colleagues
thought, the senator would speno
some time now that the proceedings
were brought to his very feet.
They didn't know Couzens. He
stopped in twice on his way to the
senate, but only to greet friends
of the old days when the Ford

manager, was just an industrial in

A good story of how Colonel Sir

prisoner during the war in the Sudan
is told by Major General Sir Leopold
Swaine.
When the prisoner was brought
before him the colonel said: "Do the
Mahdi's followers believe that their
leader can do anything possible?"
The native replied that they did.
"Then can the Mahdi do this?"
asked Sir James, taking out his glass

A Wise Ump


The opening of the baseball season
always brings out few new and
many old baseball stories. Here is
one which floated in with the spring.
A northern fan who never missed
a game was visiting in the south,
and went to see the initial game
of series between two local teams.
At first he was unable 70 locate
the umpire, but finally discovered
him sitting in the grandstand among
the spectators. Turning to native
he said, "What in the world is the
umpire doing in the grandstand?"
"Oh," the native explained, "the
spectators used to jump on him for
his decisions so much that he figured
if the folks in the grandstand could
see every play so well, he's better
go up there and do his umpiring.'
