Say It. Then Stop F Vom "Letter* From a Self 3fa/£e. Mer- chant lit Hi* Son,” bn (Jtorfje Horace Larimer ha ■ y ----- A Dear Pierrepont—Yours of the 4tb has the right ring, and it says more to the number of words used than any letter that I have ever received from you. 1 remember reading once that some fellows use language to conceal thought, but it’s beeu my experience that a good many more use it instead o f thought. A business man's conversation should be regulated by fewer and simpler rules than any other function of the human animal. They are: Have something to say. Say it. Stop talking. Beginning before you know what you want to say and keeping on after you have said it lands a merchant in a law suit or the poorliouse, and the first is a short cut to the second. I maintain a legal department here, and it costs a lot o f money, but it’s to keep me from going to law. It's all right when you are calling on a girl or talking with friends after din ner to run a conversation like a Sunday school excursion, with stops to pick flowers, but in the office your sentences should be the shortest distance possible between periods. Cut out the introduc tion and the peroration and stop be fore you get to secondly. You’ve got to preach short sermons to catch sinners, and dencons won't believe they need long ones themselves. Give fools the first und women the last word. The meat's always in the middle o f the sandwich. O f course a little butter on either side o f it doesn’t do any harm if it's intended for a man who likes but ter. Remember, too, that it's easier to look wise than to talk wisdom. Say less than the other fellow and listen more than you talk, for when a man’s listening he isn’t telling on himself and he's flattering the fellow who Is. Give most men a good listener and most wo men enough note paper and they’ll tell all they know. Sherwood, July 27.— H. H.
