Kindliness and simplicity have always marked the world's greatmen. * * *

Every now and then I meet some grufi-spoken, stifi-necked, bigheaded, grouchy fellow, who knows no opinion but his own, gives no thought to the other fellow, acts like a czar, and looks upon himself as something exceptionaly fine that the Iord has by extra effort turned out, and I think that that must be the sort of bird that Bobby Burns had in mind when he said:

"Oh, wad some power the giftie gie us, to see oursels as ithers seeus."

Isn't it both strange and queer the perspective that this sort of person gets concerning those characteristics that go to make bigness and greatness. * r *

For this sort of man always thinks he is a great man-at the worstaBlGrnan.* * *

The thinkers of the world have all agreed upon one fact concerning greatness, which is, that great men are invariably kindly, simPlemen' i * *

Trace the history of our own nation, and the fact is forcefully drivenhome.

Severe men, grouchy men, overbearing merl, strongly opinionated men, selfJoving men, ungenerous men, are NEVER great men, and seldom does a man possess any of these characteristics who can claim to be a B*IG man. Very seldom indeed

Fact is that men who travel much, see, hear, think and do much, have discovered this very interesting and pertinent fact-that LITTLE men are hard to get to, and BIG men are easy to approacn.

If you are in New York and have some business you would like to transact with the biggest banker there, you send in your card, and the next thing you know this busy man is shaking hands with you, and telling you just when you can see him and tell your business story.

BY JACK DIONNE

But you meet more Iittle men, the world over, who are ooin conference" and can't see you, or whose secretary makes you tell the story of your life, how much you weigh, who you are, what you want to see this business giant about, etc., etc., etc., before you can possibly be ushered into* The August Presence.

And whenever you meet that experience you can know without anyone telling you, that you have a mental "pee-wee" to contend with. Never a doubt about it. You can get to see a really BIG man without trouble, embarrassment, or unnec€ssary effort, anywhere, any time.

Just as you meet socially unfortunate people who think that the way to demonstrate that they ARE some pumpkins is to "snub" somebody on every occasion-thus demonstrating their woeful ignorance of what "gentle-man" or oogentle-woman" really means, so in business you meet e gneat pexcentage of mental light-weights who become obsessed by the notion that they must demonstrate their size and station bI* "tt ,tru**al show of pomp and power.

To both classes, this fine thought is recommended for mental digestion: "Without subtle imagination, a broad spirit of charity and tolerance for the feelings, rights, and yearnings of others; without vision, sympathy, and sincerity for the other man, a man is JUST MUD."

What a wonderful thing is an interesting thought! The other day I filched from the column of a friend of mine an epitaph. And in that simple inscription, alleged to be taken from a headstone in an English cemetery, I found a thought that pleased and intrigued me so that I have annoyed my friends and family by reciting it on all possible occasions. It goes like this: Here lies poor Jimmy Pumblequod. Have mercy on him, Gracious God, , I know HE would, if HE were GodAnd YOU*were Jimmy Pumblequod.

Read that over a couple of times and see if it doesn't hit you. It's just the Golden Rule in reverse, that's all. "Do unto others."
