The only animal which the Bible ♦•alls
patient is an ass and that's both good doc-
tiine and good natural histoiy. For I had
to make considerable of a study of tlu:
Missouri mule when I was a boy. and I
discovered that h s not really patient, but
thai he only pretends t • he. You <
cuss I11111 out until >ou vc nothing but
beautiful thoughts loft in v u to draw on.
and you can lay the rawhide on him tilt
In s striped like a circus zebra, and If
vott re cautious and reserved In his com-
pany lie will Just look grieved and pained
and resigned. But all the time that mule
will lie getting meaner and meaner in-
side, adding compound cusweduess every
:: ii ty days, and prneticlng drop kicks
iu his stall after dark.
(if course, nothing in thin world if
wholly bad. not even a mule, for he is
half horse But nn' observation has iaught
me that the horse halt of him is the
front half, and that the only real safe
wav to drive him is hit 1-side tirst. I •im-
pose lhat you could train one to travel
that wav, but it really doesn'i seem
worth while when good roadsters are so
cheap.
That's the way I feel about these young j
fellows who lazy along, trying to turn in i
at eve! v gate where there seems to be a ;
little shade, and sulking and balking
whenever you say "git-an 10 them, i
They are men who are always howling
that" BUI Smith was promoted because
he had a pull, and that they ar. being held
down because the manager is j.aloiu
them. I've seen a good many pulls in
time but I never saw one strong enoug i
to lift a man any higher than he could
raise himself by his boot straps, or long
enough i" reach through the cashier -
window for more mone
in the codicil, "orphans could not in- un-
grateful to their parents. " But if the
man had had a little tact he would have
kept them In separate houses, and have
lei each one think that she was getting a
trifle the best of it. without really giving
it to either.
Tact Is the knack of keeping quiet at
the right time; of being so agreeable your-
self that no one can he disagreeable to y mi;
of making inferiority feel like equality.
A tactful man can pull the stinger from
a bee without getting stung.
Some men deal in facts and call Hill
Jones a liar Tin y get knocked down
Some men deal In subterfuges and say
that Bill Jone s father was a kettle-ren-
def^d liar, and that his mother's maiden
names was Sapphira. and that anyone who
believes in the Iiarwlniau theory should
pity rather than blame their son. They
get disliked But your tacttV« man says
that since Baron Maiinchausscn 110 one
has been chuck full of bully reminiscen-
ces as Bill Jones: and when that somes
back to Bill he is half tickled to death;
l>i 1 a ise he doesn't know that the higher
criticism lids hurt the baron's reputation
That man gets the trade.
There are two kinds of information; one
t . which everybody's entitled, and th; t Is
taught at school; and one which nobody
ought to know except yourself, uul that
is what you think of Bill Jones. Of course,
where you feel a man Is not square, you
will be armed to nn et him. but nev er on
