Nobody's Business
Written for The Chronicle by Geo
Mi-Gee, Copyright, 1927.
The word e-g-o-t-i-H-m sprang from
the French word "egg" meaning
fruit from a hen, guinea, or duck,
and the German word "tism," meaning
bad, and the English language
saw fit to. transpose the appellation,
and we have the definition?"bad
egg." ? j
Egotism, unlike other "tisms," such
as Rheumatism, which affects the
muscles and bones, and Astigmatism, I
which hurts the eye), settles on bhe ,
weakest part of the human diaphragm,
(the brain), when it settles
at all. It is not painful to the afflicted
person, but causes much pain
and misery to the people he, slie, or
it comes in contact with.
Egotism is a disease which makes
its owner feel his o.r her importance
when there really isn't any importance
to feel. A person who has a bad case
of this malady will never say? "I
dor^'t know," or?"I made a mistake,"
or?"1 beg your pardon," or?"I am
sorry, but 1 have forgotten," or?
"Please show me how." There's not
so awfully much difference between
an egotist anil a Smart Aleck.
An egitistically sarcastic embryo,
common to Main street, and hotel lobbies,
thinks everybody thinks he's the
-martest man in his school district;
and that he leads all others in the
matter of dress, public speaking,
golf, expert hull slinging, nocking,
anticipating .markets, fore-telling bad
financial < ?<ndition*, and mashing the
fair sex.
When a man gets a genuine case of
"a way-from-hoine" ego, he's worse
off than if he had contracted the
7-year itch, or galloping consumption, j
or several had debts. fie simply J
aint fit to stay at home with his
folks, or loaf down-town with his
enemies, or possum hunt by himself.
An egotist generally thinks everybody
is admiring his new suit, when
nobody but the pressing-club remembers
to have aeen it, and he believes
the "bunch" is talking
about the big diamond he is wearing
in Ids shirt bosom, when, as a matter
of fact, nobody ever suspected that it!
was a diamond, and he imagines that
the crowd is saying; "Who is that
handsome man walking down the
aisle dressed so immaculately" when
the only guy that noticed him at all
is wondering who in the thunder that
pimp, or wart is.
Egotism is mostly fatal. Very few
people ever get over it, and some of
them mebbe are looking forward with
much Big-1-Ness to the time when
the weeping throngs will gaze upon
his cold face in the casket, and say
?"There lies a leader of men and
women."
Worthwhile Statistics.

installment buyer foots the bill.

keep his lizzie and hootch goozler

November, 1927, has exactly half
the normal rain at the weather bureau
station at Greenville, 1.55 inches compared
to a normal of 3.10 inches. The
deficiency of rainfall for the eleven
months of this year is a trifle over 17
inches. The November just ended was
2 degrees per day warmer on the
average than the normal temperature
for the month.
