Tie length of a road is only iknown by those who travel it. Lots of men will condemn you for things they do themselves. A woman never sees a refrigera tor without wondering what is in it Of the half dozen ways of doing a thing eaoh woman has a way ot her own. Business men are like a victor ious rooster. When they orow they mvite. trouble. It is strange how a woman can find a pot name for eaoh member of a large family. ✓ Every time there is a burglnry three or four honest men are sus pected unjustly. If the bisouits keep getting small, or they will run entirely, out inside of twenty'years. ■ No womah eyor passes another woman’s washing on the lino with out staring, at/W. . , ° them- into the When a man thinks he has .laid up enough for a rainy day he only has enough for a shower. At every party there is. always a few lively gossips that keep the guests from going to sleep. You need not be very uneasy about turning up your toes until the dpotor gets to calling twice a day.
