FRESH WITH TRUTH (By Wickcs Wamboldt) On* negro took another to task on account of a certain conversational inaccuracies. “Yo’ ain’t calUn’ me no Hah, is yb’T was the belligerent query. “I ain’t preggckly callin’ yo’ a Hah’ wa« the rejoinder, “but you sho* do git mighty fresh wid de truf some time.’’ - _ - It is surprising how many people do take liberties with the truth when pressure becomes sufficient and somt do it without pressure at all. Did you ever hear the excuse, “I tried to get you over the ‘phone, but your line was busy.?” Sometime ago I wrote a clone ac quaintance of mine asking him to confirm a statement he had made in one of his 'speeches. "My dear fellow,” he replied, “we say lots of things in speeches which we would not cart to subscribe to in writing.” One day 1 called at a man’* office to apologize for forgetting to keep an appointment. He leveled a fore finger at me and greeted me with* “Where were you yesterday after noon?” I was opening my mouth to express my contrition when I had a .hunch. "Where were you. yohrself!” I demanded. Then he grinned. " To tell you the truth, old man,” he ad mitted, "1 forgot all about it.” People always admire the person who is conversationally dependable. They feel a sen*,* of~security in their relation with him. It is a great thing for a man to have people say of him, "You can absolutely rely upon any thing he tells you.” No man who is not a nemployer can ever realize the sense of satisfac tion directed toward the employee whose statements never vary one jot or tittle from the absolute facts. An employer readily develops a feeling of appreciation and cooperation toward the employee whose declarations cat. always be accepted without checking up or verification. People are naturally credulotU and are inclined to accept what we say at its face value. But once they find we have.a tendency to get fresh with .the truth, thenceforth they take what we say with a grain of sodium chloride. Accuracy of statement is as much an asset to the ragamuffin in the street as to the Presient of the Un ite States. It is a profession that any ^body can practice, and it pays big dividends. -Mind Year County's Drily Paper Pint. ■ .. • - GERMANS EVOLVE .
