"She's not there!" exclaimed the astonished friend.
The old farmer turned and looked over his shoulder. Then he coolly
replied:
"Humph! That accounts for the splash."
CAUTION
A small boy, who was sitting next to a very haughty woman in crowded
car, kept sniffling in a most annoying way, until the woman could
stand it no longer.
"Boy, have you got a handkerchief?" she demanded.
The small boy looked at her for a few seconds, and then in a dignified
tone, came the answer.
"Yes, I 'ave, but I don't lend it to strangers."
CHARACTER
Do not tell me the books you have read; let me glean it from your
conversation. Do not tell me of the people you associate with; let me
observe it by your manners.--_Emerson_.
HOWELL--"What sort of a fellow is he?"
POWELL--"He can make two lemons grow where only one grew before and
then hand them both to you when you are not looking."--_Judge_.
To those who know thee not, no words can paint! And those who know
thee, know all words are faint!--_Hannah More_.
_The Stuff That Counts_
The test of a man is the fight he makes,
The grit that he daily shows:
The way he stands on his feet and takes
Fate's numerous bumps and blows,
A coward can smile when there's naught to fear,
When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes a man to stand and cheer
While some other fellow stars.
