Cornelius Vanderbilt objected at
a dinner in New York to the Ameri-
can rule of politeness whereby men
pull out and then push in ladies’
chairs as the latter seat themselves
at table.
“That” he said, “is carrying our
table manners too ridiculously far.
It reminds me of the Texas father.
“A Texas father was dining with
his son in a Texas hotel, and in the
course of dinner the son got into an
argument with a cowboy. The cow-
boy called the son an offensive name,
a very offensive name, and the
young fellow grabbed his knife in
his fist and started around the table
to be avenged.
“But his father seized him by the
coattail.”
“Aain’t ye got no table manners?”
the old man hissed.
“But, pop, ye heard what he call-
ed me, didn’t ye?”
“Yes, I heard alright, but that
ain’t no giround for yer forgettin’
yer table manners!. Put down that
knife and go at him with yer fork.”

are finding education at their door.
Some are studying, mastering, suc-
ceeding while others, are sleeping. We

voted to one of our thorough, practi-
cal business courses will mean a Bank
