Flashlights.

The reason a big man will -stand around and listen when his wife is jawing him and have mighty little to say In his own behalf is because he knows that she is 99 per cent right. The trouble with most of us is that we look on our country as a place where we can get the best of everything without giving our best in return. When the other fellow’s faults begin to look big to you just stop and consider how big your faults must look to the other fellow. Nothing tones down a troublemaker quite so quickly as bumping into someone he isn’t dead sure he can li.ck. The reason a man always throws his overcoat over the back of the nearest chair is because he knows every hook in rhe house is busy holding up his wife’s garments.
