HE LITERARY world has lost a bright light in the death of CarLe- ton G. Garretson. He died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Jessica G. Finch, of New York, on September 2d. Mr. Garretson had shown remarkable talent in newspaper work in Seattle, Tacoma and other places on the Pacific coast. When he came to New York as the humorous editor of the Globe, he established his reputation in a new field, and an invitation to accept the editor- ship of Jupce quickly followed. The unfortunate accident, by being thrown from his horse while riding in upper New York, which led to his death, came shortly after Mr. Garretson had as- sumed the editorship of JupGe; but in the brief period of his work in that re- sponsible place he proved that he ranked with the ablest of his predecessors. He was the son of the Rev. F. V. Garret- son, of East Williston, Long Island, and was born at Bos- cawen, N. H., in 1878. He was graduated from Williams College, and after his mar- riage to Miss Thoma Cook, of Pittsfield, Mass., they moved to Seattle. His widow and ason, eight years old, survive him. Mr. Garretson's indus- try, his devotion to his work, in which he always took the greatest delight, the cheerful- ness of his disposition and the kindness of his heart won for him the profound respect and deep admiration of all his as- sociates. His untimely death is mourned by all who appre- tio ciated not only his great abil- 5, ity, but his noble character without food and his exalted ideals. SAW THE JOKE with this remark: ” Y sot cloud the original meaning Brief Decisions. No good rule can work both ways. The straw vote is a part of political fiction. Enthusiasm will carry even the old a long way. It always happens that the bore never flatters you. Advice will be cheap as long as it in- volves no labor. A woman's guess often outruns a man’s labored conclusion. Few men care to have the wind tem- pered to the sightly stocking. Nature adjusts most things in this world to a fair average. The hand- some man does not have to be clever, and the clever man can get along very well without beauty. jout water.”” the picture. than she can w AND WENT ONE BETTER.

Waugh. Misener & Bailey are not milkmen. Flattery. Flattery is a great aid to individual success or advancement if judiciously applied. This is so chiefly because the man or the woman who seeks an end—or several ends--by flattery passes from person to person with a happy smile, a pleasing remark or a personal compli- ment, and thus engages the good-will, if not the effort, of those thus encoun- tered. But each person so greeted may forget the inspiration to reciprocity af- ter he or she has delivered a quid pro quo. When flattery is administered in re- peated doses to one person by another, however, it is quite a different thing and has quite another effect. People are not such fools as to believe good things reiterated of them to their faces when they really know themselves. If you try to flatter your butcher, your baker, your grocer or your iceman day after day, you will find that your effort will be interpreted as a‘‘jolly,”” for which you ex- pect some tangible return; and you will make nothing whatever—possibly you may lose—by the means, Flattery has its restrictions and its occasions, its abuses as .well as its uses. Some persons almost live on it, and others, for obvious reasons, have to live without it. Per- sons who peddle it steadily and successfully do not have to peddle anything else. For some it is a spur and a tonic, and in others who know its real value it inspires con- tempt for those who deal in it on the theory that it has an actual value when skillfully administered. comicbooks.com
