"Why is It that souie men will not
give a direct and unequivocal answer
to even the simplest and most Inconse
quential questions put to them?" asked
a thoughtful citizen. "It Is a curious
thing that you will find a great many
men who simply will not give you a
direct answer to the question, though
there may exist absolutely no reason In
the world for quibbling or for hesitat
ing to answer without equivocation. I
was Just reading a story of a well
known lawyer who Is so In the bablt of
qualifying bis answers that he will not
tell a friend the tlm of day without In
some way putting In a 'saving clause,'
a remark that bis watch Is probably a
little slow or a little fast or something
of that sort One of the presidents, I
think It was Van Buren, was of this
type and on one occasion refused to
say whether the sun rose In th east or
tb west, remarking that east and
west were purely relative terms and
what might b east to on man might
be west to another. Personally I bav
known many men who dropped Into
this habit d, singularly, some of
them have been the most poaltlvs and
most aggressive characters I have ever
known. They would assert things and
back them up Ignorantly. But ask
them a question, and forthwith they
would deal you out a qualified answer
or often what would amount to no an
swer at all." New Orleans Times
