CONFIDENCE AND 

 GOOD JUDGMENT 



pave two-thirds of the wiptTv^o success 

 in anything in life. I w^^wtite you a 

 very short story on a lesson I learned 

 on this important subject on one of my 

 many travels. 



Confidence without good judgment 

 usually leads to failure, but the same 

 efforts exerted with good judgment will 

 bring success in time. 



I strayed into a business place and, 

 after my usual "self -introducing" 

 process, the man in the case looked at 

 me and informed me thusly: "Well, 

 if youda come arou' yer about eighteen 

 years ago I mighta married you, but I 

 gotta wife now. ' ' At once I fell for 

 the comedy, dropped my head and arms 

 in the most dejected manner, looked 

 like the only mourner at my own fu- 

 neral, and groaned in sorrow. Tough 

 luck; I'm always missing when good 

 things are going easy. He did not say 

 for sure he would, he only "mighta," 

 but I know he "mighta" not, if I 

 knew anything about it. 



That man's confidence and conceit 

 combined make him think he could 

 own and control the world, only he 

 doesn't care to. That's confidence 

 without good judgment; such charac- 

 ters are always happy. Dear me, I need 

 a little space for a few items for sale:

BAMBOO CANES 



stake your tall plants, such as 

 Lilies, etc. It improves their

 bamboo cane costs but a trifle 

 and adds considerable to the 

 value of the plant tied with it.

3 feet long, $10.00 per bale of 2000 

 3% ft. long, 11.00 per bale of 2000
