A Real Man A real man never talks about what the world owes him, or the happiness he deserves, and all that. A real man is just as honest alone in the dark of his own room as he is in public. A real man does not want pulls and favors. Ife wants work and honest wages. A real man does not expect some thing for nothing, so the get-rich quick people can not use him. A real man does a little more than he promises. A real man is dependable. His simple word is as good as his oath. A real man is loyal to his friends and guards their reputation as his own. A real man can not hurt a woman, physically or morally. He" sticks to his wife. He can be loyal even if Jove is impossible. A real man mnds his own business. He doc?s not judge other persons be yond sure knowledge ? not presuming to "search hearts." A real man has excuses for others, never for himself. He is patient and char[tabl? to others; tp himself he is strict. A real man does not hunt danger, but never dodges it when he ought to meet it. A real man is glad to live and not afraid to die. ?
