A Modern Proverb.

At the kindergarten: Teacher—- “ Johnny, do you remember the proverb I gave you yesterday ?” Johnny—“No’m. ” “Speech is silver and—what is it?” “I dunno, mom. ” “I know,” spoke up a little boy at the foot of the class. “Very well, you may recite it.” “Speech is silver, but money talks. ” —New York Evening Sun. Success secures the approbation of the world, for as the wise man says: “Men will praise thee when thou doest well for thyself.”
