A CLOSED MOUTH CATCHES NO FLIES
The Mexicans have a proverb, which says, kiEn
boca serrado no entras nioscas,” meaning that “Into
a closed mouth no flies enter.” And a in t it the
truth. How many friendships have been lost and
how many sales prevented by talking too much. The
loquacious person has lost his job since the inven- I
tion of the phonograph, as one can now have con
versation with harmonics.
The person who talks too much is a pest, unless
lie i$ doing the talking, and the Taming of the Shrew
was thought so much of that even Billie Shakespeare
made it into a play, which has since amused the
world theatre-goers. We remember an old sheep
herder who quit his job because the boss asked him
when grub pile would be ready, alleging that there
was too—much conversation around the camp to suit
him, and many of us have felt the same .when some
loquacious friend bedims our eardrums with facts
and fancies neither new nor interesting. How many
of us have time and again refrained from visiting
persons who through well-meaning are tiresome on
account of their continual tongue-wagging. Con
versation, ilke virtue, is a rare jewel, intended to' ex
press our wants and for no other use. The silver
tongued orator is invaribly dull and prosaic when
his speech is read the next morning at the table, and
oft-repeated harmony becomes tiresome if played of
ten enough.
Therefore, if you would have friends who are
glad to see you come, place a stopper and watch
tackle on your jaw, and you have learned the rudi
ments of wisdom as brought forth thru Minerva.
The “moscas” may be frozen up, but they will be
here again, so do not use your mouth for a fly-trap.
A VOICE FROM THE RHUBARBS
The Anacortes American, a newspaper publish
ed within the bounds of Puget Sound takes offense
to an article published in the Seattle Daily Times.
The article in question was featured in grand style,
under the modest heading: Seattle Supplies the
World with Cabbage Seed.” The clipping follows in
part:
* * * giving no credit to Skagit County towns,
from which points carloads of vegetable seeds are
shipped direct to Philadelphia and other cities
where the large seed houses are located—Seattle hav
ing nothing whatever to do with such shipments.
“Seattle has stolen or attempted to steal just
about everything in the state of Washington, includ
ing Mount Tacoma and Bellingham’s Chuckanut
Drive, and long ago had a clear title to all the scen
ery in the San Juans. This is the kind of thing
that is defeating Seattle’s great forward movement
and is the thing that his kept scores of communities
in the state from working in harmony with Seattle.
Theft of everything in sight does not make friends
for anybody, and Seattle has the reputation of be
ing the biggest thief on the Pacific Coast when it
comes to claiming things which are not now hers and
never can be hers.
“Seattle has set Mount Tacoma down in its
backyard, and filled Elliott Bay with the San Juan
islands in recent publications, and now comes the
Seattle Times to take the Skagit delta seed farms up
bodily and plant them along the east waterway.”
Can you beat it?
AN OFFICIAL report from Mexico City an
nounces that the organizer of a plot against the
government was shot and killed, “as he attempted
to escape from military guards.” It was the old
Mexican chestnut—the “ley fuega,” or law of flight.
No doubt the prisoner was ordered by the guards
to run and was then shot. That at leiot is the or
thodox Mexican metlu : It saves the lime required,
for a farcial military trial.
After watching today’s downfall of snow, we
wonder how the old folks could get off so badly in
their prophecy.
