? “WHAT"'
9* Many a young man and woman
in the wor I d because of
some offensive persona! liab
- it unimportant in itself, but
which grated on the nerves of
those with whom they came into
Y contact Such a laid Imbit to which
- many people are addicted is sav
-1 ing "What? Without the excuse
I of having defect iv*- hearing. While
such "w hats" are due occasionally
i to the fact that the mind of the
I hearer does not work -quickly
- enough to grasp the meaning of
I t lie quest ion asked, the "wliut.”
in most instances is the result of
I a bud habit, which grows worse as j
one grows older.
A story told by a business man
ill list rat os t his tendency’. 11" lias
a son, a clever boy, who gnidti-!
ated from the high school last |
I year and did not desire to go to
J college, so to teach him busincs'
methods and soil reliance ho was
placed in a commercial house, t he I
leanl of which was a friend of the
father. The boy worked a month
■ and at home expressed himself as
• I perfect I v sut istied with his treat-;
• ment, bis associations and bis
work. < >ne night, how* vor.be came
home and told ins father that he
had been discharged and handed
him a note signed by the bead of
t lie concern w li ieh rend :
Dear ———: I have told James
thut we do not care for his servic
es any longer, lie is a good,
clever and w illing boy, but he has
a well developed ease of ‘‘What.’"
When In lias been cured send him
hack to ns because wo like him and
think la- w ill make good.
If you will stop for n minute i
and consider how many times you ,
-ay "what” unnecessarily when
you understand perfect ly what has
he n said •<> you you must realize
what a great waste of time and;
patience this involves and Imw es
pecially exilHpeiut ing it is because
so unnecessary. If you are the fa
ther of boys teach them to bo alert
and listen to what is said so they
will respond at once. If you are
a young man starting out in the t
.world accept this as n friendly
warning: there are plenty of oth- j -
or things that you want to guard I
against, but one at a time, Grant- I
itig that i his is a trifle, remember I
that a wise man once said that ■
ttitles make perfection—and per- I
lection is no trifle.—Boston Trav- I
