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 ■ der.
