Undoubtedly the principal
cause of so many misunder-
standings aud dissatisfaction
with the people in this good,
old world of ours, is from
lack of ac(fuaintan.ship by
close associations with each
other in business or work.
Everything being transacted
in a hurry and unthonght-
fully won't give us the right
idea of a person or work, aud
oftentimes causes a great
many good people to be cold
and distant. Long, contin-
ued idleness is misleading.
Be conservative always.
