QUIT TELLING FUNNY STORIES Why Congressman Kelly ^Sacrificed Humor on the Altar of Serious Statesmanship. Patrick Kelly-, 'a representative In congress from Michigan, says that he used to tell many stories in going about in his political campaigns. The audiences always liked tin-in and went away pleased. Telling them looked, like good politics. Years later Kelly would meet a man and lie would say: "I ha\o met you before. 1 remem ber very well a certain story 7you told." . Then he would repeat the an/cdote. Kelly would ask him what else he re membered that had been said, and he would be unable to remember n thing. The congressman began to wonder if the. telling of stories prevented more serl 'ous matters fvi>w tlndlng lodgement In the hearer's /mind. He became/ fearful.

ITe says that lo retail 2-cent stamps for 2 ceuts each Is the moat profitable Line in Ills store. These sales would be extremely un profliable, If he handled stamps grouchily or grudgingly, saying by his niauner: "Whatta you mean by both ering me to sell you postage stamps?"' Hut he has signs in his window toll ing that he Iwis plenty of stamps, and makes a special effort to he more pleasant and accommodating and gra cious about a si amp sale than at any other time. lie has attracted thou sands of permanent customers 1 n that way. "A new customer is worth many dollars a year," he observes, "whether the thing that first brought him iu Is postage ^jftiainps, cigars or whatnot. So having^Miticed him in, why should I do anything to make him sorry he came?" ? Fre<K Kelly In The Nation's Business. No Use For Ailln8 Wife. The New York Medical Journal sqys : "L>r.
