LINCOLN SAID-

"When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion-kind, unassuming persuasion-should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.' So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the high road to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the justice of your cause, if indeed, that cause be really a just one. On the contrary, assume to dictate to his judgment, or command his action, or to mark him as one to be shunned or despised, and he will retreat within himself, close all the avenues to his head and heart; and though your cause be naked truth itself transformed to the heaviest lance, harder than steel, and sharper than steel can be made, and though you throw it with more than herculean force and precisionl you shall be no more able to pierce him than to penetrate the hard shell of a tortoise with a rye straw. Such is man, and so must he be understood by those who would lead him, even to his own best interests."

Then Deep Silence

A lady who had married a traveling man decided to raise chickens. When her husband came home from his long trip, she showed them to him. He noticed she had five hens and two roosters. "Why the two roosters, with five hens?" he asked. "That's in case one of them should decide to go on the road," she answered.

Some Radio

"Ours is the finest radio set I ever saw," said the first fan" "\Me got both Los Angeles and Havana the same night."

"That's nolhing,l' said the second. "The other night we heard a male dqht'tette singing, and we didn't like the tenor, so we tuned him out and let the other three sing."

Treat Her Rough

Treat her rough, she'll like you better, Strut your stuff, an' that'll get 'er, Do not beg'er, do not yammer, Soak 'er with a husky hammer !

Never, never say: "Dear, willya?"

Always say: "Ya don't I'Il killya!"

She'll remember blows an' beatin's Longer than your love an' eatin's.

An' remember times you've missed ter, Longer than the times you kissed 'erTREAT 'ER ROUGH !

CO-OPERATION

"The citizen who devotes his energies wholly in private affairs, refusing to take part in public affairs, pluming himself on his wisdom in minding his own business, is blind to the fact that his own business is only made possible by the prosperity of all."-Herbert Spencer.

BARNUM SAID

"Speak well of me if you can: Speak ill of me if you mustBut for God's sake say SOMETHING."

"Who does his duty is a question, Too complex to be solved by me; But he, I venture the suggestion, Does part of his who plants a tree."
