PUNCTUALITY.
My George Fitch..
I IMmctualily is something which
is observed al weddings and fun
erals and also by interest, dates
on notes.
The dictionary says that punc
tuality consists of adhering to an
appointed time. II. is remarkable,
however, to note how much more
enthusiastic man is about adher
ing to a lunch table or a bar rail
or a warm fire than he is in ad
hering to an appointed time.
When it comes to appoint
ments, man is one of our most
perfect non-adhesives.
Man lakds a week olf and gels
to his own wedding on time. Hav
ing done this lie considers his
life’s duly done. He is usually
buried right on the dot, but this
is a circumstance over which he
lias no control.
Kven the law is unpunctual. It
says that it is 2 o’clock until it
i is .’i. Man goes farther than this,
I however. With him it is some
[ times 2 o’clock until supper time,
i As for railroads, any old I wo
I o'clock will do. If a rantscon
linental train doesn’ (arrive lo
i day at two o’clock it gels in al
I two tomorrow and is just as
j proud f I he IVnl.
! Tlnrfe are, however, a large
{number of punctual men in this
iworld. It is easy to lind them.
Whenever you notice a man in a
[definite place glaring al his
[watch with wrath printed in IK
! point Gothic all over his face,!
’you can honor him for a punctual |
. man.
j lie is wailing fur some one.
j Punctual men do the world's |
[waiting. A punctual man who is i
j sixty years old has spent ten j
■ years of his life waiting for olh- j
cr men. This is why few punc- !
tual men are successful. They i
wait their lives awn' while the
men for whom they linger a. '
hlitlttdy grubbing success wilh
:out looking at. the clock.
I Punctuality is a duly. Inil I her1
j should be {reciprocity in il. A
j man who is punctual all his life
I is the dupe of human nature. He
i should he punclual for Itiirty
J live years and then lei the other]
I fellow wait for the next thirty-j
| live.
Man is used in this essay in!
[the strictly masculine sense.!
I Woman and punctuality are I wo I
ientirely divergent subjects.
