A shiftless specimen of humanity came downtown one morning and, joining a group on the corner an nounced that he was going to leave town—said he could not live in it any longer. Someone asked him what was the matter. “Well,” he said, “the town is all right; but it’s the hardest place ir the world for a woman to get worl in.’ * SOFT WORDS By THOMAS ARKffe CLARK Deaa of Men, UaJBarsity of Illiaoia. •• A SOFT answer turneth away ** wrath,” the wise man wrote cantnriea ago, “but grievous words j aflr np anger.“ It la true with animals as It la with m«n They respond quickly to the soft kind word; they recognise com posure and self control In human be Ings and come under Its spell as we ouraelvee do, while bluster and loud angry talking stir them up Instantly. Gregg had a deadly fear of dogs. The moot harm lees. Inoffensive cur that crossed his path threw him Into * state of terror at once, and even If the animal had at first had no sinister Intentions, when Gregg began to shout angrily at him and to brandish his cane or whatever missile he could possess himself of, the cur was more likely than not to leap upon Gregg In self-defense, and bite him If he VERNONIA EAGLE •obld hate brought himself to apeak gently to the Innocent brute Gregg could have had him licking his band and fawning about his feet In an ecstasy of joy and friendliness Horses yield to soft pleasant words .nore readily than any other animal« with which I have been associated I owned a high strung tenn>eranientid tittle mare once who could be cahne'1 instantly by a soft encouraging word or a gentle pat on the neck, hut who would tear herself loose from what ever she was attached to If she were scolded or spoken ’ to roughly or ingrily. She was as sensitive as a child. Strength had nothing like the tower of control over aer that kind less had. I read a story not long ago of : young fellow who ran away from honv and became a cowboy down In Texas He had a number of interesting ex periences before he reached success ind one of these he told about very appealingly, and since It illustrates my point I »hall quote from ft here “Sometimes when I was watchine the cattle at night there would be <ln an uneasy movement among them which I knew might spread and grow till it culminated in a stampede. I had learned that It always steadied them if they heard the sound of the human voice. I could have sworn or shouted at them as we usually did and it would have had the calming effect. But I thought if I had got to | make my voice heard through the , night It might as well be heard In something pleasant as something un pleasant. So, many a night, listeners might have henrd the strange sound of a cowboy singing the solos fror. the Messiah and Tunnhauser and al the other fine music which I had learned at home. It satisfied m.v sense of beauty, and It calmed the cat tie just as effectively as shouting abuse at them.” (©, 1S16. Western Newspaper Union.)
