Just A Correctton

A weary telegraph agent stationed many miles from nowhere in the Sudan, Africa, in the hottest part of summer, wired his superior officer: "Please relieve me, can't stay here, :un surrounded by lions, elephants, and wolves." The officer heartlessly wired back: "There are no wolves in the Sudan." Whereupon the weary one replied: .,Referring to my wire of yesterday, cancel wolves."

Laughing At Funerals

One habit of the inhabitants of the yugoslavia city of Split appeals to me. Louis Adamic, who spent a couple of months there, says they believe so much in laughter and joking that even when a man dies his friends gather at his house and have a gay time. They laugh at the funny things he said or did when he was alive. This, they believe, is far better for all than a depressing, crying wake.

My hope is that when f die my relatives and friends will have sense enough to waste no time mourning for me. What I want them to do is treat my memory just as they would treat me now. Where I have lived and worked there has always been more laughter than tears. Perhaps I would be richer in money if I had not assumdd instinctively when I went out into the world that life wES sorr€thing to be enjoyed.-Thomas Dreier.

Just Bull

A man who saw a sign "Iron sinks," went inside and remarked that he knew it. The bright clerk answered: "Yes, and time flies, but wine vaults, sulphur springs, jam rolls, Niagara Falls, moonlight walks, sheqr run, holiday trips, scandal spreads, rubber tires, and wire Stays."

The visitor left, but returned, stuck his head in the door, and remarked, "And marble busts."-Chicago Journal of Commerce.

HIS "ATICS'' WERE THE STRONGEST

The dusky highwayman stepped out in front of the elderly colored brother.

"Tho up you han's, boy," he ordered.

"Ah cain't; Ah gots rhumatics," replied the other.

"You kin-Ah gots automatics," said the highwayman, sternly.

"You win, Mistah, you win,t' he said as his hands went up; "looks lak you' 'atics' is de stronges'."

Bob Burdette On Work

My son, remember you have to work. Whether you handle pick or wheelbarrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a newspaper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you rnust work.

Don't be afraid of killing yourself by overworking on the sunny side of thirty. Men die sometimes, but it's because they quit at nine P.M. and don't gc home until two A.M. It's the intervals that kill, my son.

Take off your coat and make dust in the world. The busier you are, the less harm you are apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter your holdiays, and the better satisfied the whole world will be with you.Bob Burdette.

WHAT INDEED?

Why do they have so many unnecessary hoes in Swiss cheese when it's the limberger that really needs the ventilation?

DON'T LET IT WORRY YOU

If your efforts are criticized, you must have done something worth while, and you may earn sornething valuable.

ff your business rival plays more golf than you do, you have more time to attend to his customers than he has.

If your neighbor drives a better car than you do, that doesn't make your old car any ttre worse.

If someone calls you a fool, go into silence. He may be right.

If your competitor gets business by unscrupulous methods, he can't hold it that way.

If the world laughs at you, laugh right back at it. ft's just as funny as you are.

A Prayer For The Wise

.TO BE OR NOT TO BE'

William Lyon Phelps says that outside the Bible the six most famous words in all the literature of the world are Shakespeare's "To be or not to be" from Hamlet. These six words contain only six of the letters of the alphabet, and yet, says Phelps, into those words are packed most of the wisdom of the world.
