HiS WIFE’S JOB.
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

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

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.”
