A Few Don'ts for Men.

Don't neglect your business.
Don't misrepresent anything.
Don't forget you are a gentleman.
Don't tell everybody your business.
Don't make any promises you cannot fulfill.
Don't send a man to do work you can do yourself.
Don't forget that the poor have feelings as well as the rich.
Don't go off on a frolic when you have business to attend to.
Don't fail to keep yourself well posted in every detail of your business.
Don't buy a bill of goods you don't want because a drummer asks you to.
Don't forget to be kind to the children. They will be men and women one of these days.—N. Y. Mail and Express.
