Toct ond Diplomocy

Many good stories are told illustrating the use of that cardinal principle of tact, or diplomacy. The oldest, of course, was the one of the man who opened the bathroom door to discover the lady in the tub, and backed away with the tactful apology of "Excuse me, SIR."

But here is a splendid illustration of that same old thought that saved the life of a soothsayer.

A Caliph dreamed one night that his beard fell out, leaving his face entirely without hair. He called in a soothsayer, told him the dream, and demanded that he explain the meaning of the dream.

"Commander of the faithful," said the soothsayer, bluntly, "your dream means that all of your family, down to your youngest child, will die before your eyes."

"Take him away and behead him for this monstrous interpretation," cried the enraged Caliph, who did not care to hear bad news.

Then he called in another soothsayer, and told him the dream, demanding that he interpret its meaning. But this soothsayer had learned diplomacy.

"Great One," said he, "you should rejoice for this dream brings you great promise. It means that you will have a very long life, in fact, your life will be prolonged beyond that of all the members of your family. Yes, even the youngest,. shall fail to outlast you."

And the second soothsayer was sent away with money and precious gifts. He had said the same thing the first one did, but couched it in diplomatic terms.

Ozqrk Advice

Said the old Ozark mountaineer to his son, who seemed growing restless: "Son, don't go roamin' 'round. Stay home. Get yourself a passel of mountain land, always get your seed corn back, never fail to attend the annual foot-washin' on the second Tuesday in May, vote the Demercratic ticket straight in the fall-an' you'll live long an' prosper."

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

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

"!es l6in-Ah gots automatics," said the highwayrnan, sternly.

Journey's End

I'd like to go to London, I'd buy a scarlet gown

And silver-buckled slippers

To dance in the town.

I'd like to go to Samarkand

And linger in the dusk

To purchase from a camel pack Sandalwood and musk.

I'd like to go to Tokyo-

At some shop near the sea

I'd buy a carved elephant

And sip at perfumed tea.

With such a wanderlust, it's strange I find my heart's desire

In peace and love and happiness. Beside my cottage fire.

A Little Counfry Home

We bought a little country home, Away from carts and cars, And oily smoke. They did not charge Us extra for the stars, Or singing birds, or for the clouds, That dropped their scented showers. They sold us just the house and lot, But all the SKY was ours.

-Rowena Bennett

Jqmes Whitcomb Riley Wrote

The sun had a gown, Wrought of gilded thistledown, And a scarf of velvet vapor, And a revelled,rainbow gown, And his tinsel-tangled hair, Tossed and lost upon the air, Was glossier and flossier Than any anywhere.
