Show Some One Responsible. An angry man entered the water office of-fice of an eastern city the other day and fiercely announced to the clerk: "Sir, you can send up and take your old gas meter out of my house." "This is not the gas office." "It isn't?" "No, sir; this is the water office." "Oh, it is! Well, then, send a man up to my house at once and turn the water off! I'm not going to walk a mile and a half for nothing!" It takes a conscientious man to enjoy his work if the remuneration is small.

If you are going to be anything, be a professional. No amateur attracts much attention. And lots of people who think they have nothing but trouble don't know what trouble really is. How we dislike the thoughtless person per-son who always changes the subject of conversation when it's in our favor. A good cook should be at the head of every provisional government. A man is apt to feel girlish when he s making n'.s maiden speech. |
