The average man's idea of economy
Is to preach it to his wife.
Those who have the leaat principle
usually draw the most interest.
A clear complexion is a fine thing,
provided nobody can see through it.
The fools are not all dead. In fact,
lots of them haven’t been born yet.
The English suffragette seems to
have an infinite capacity for breaking

We hope for the best and then,
■when we get it, we hope for something

think us!
Many a wise word Is spoken in jest,
but more foolish ones are spoken in
earnest
To flatter a woman tell her rhe is
beautiful, and to flatter a man tell him
he is working too hard.
Every married man should join
some good society—preferably the so
ciety of his wife and children.

TIPS
Big chances are spread very thin
over a life’s work.
It doesn't take much to make a
friend, and just as little to lose one.
One neglect, no matter how trifling,
will rile the clearness of a long estab
lished bond of affection.
And, too, where doubts of us exists,
one little thoughtful thing will dis
pel It all.
So many men make the serious mis
take of conserving their efforts for big
things.
But little things magnify their own
importance promptly and accumulate
with marvelous rapidity.
The mansion is built brick by brick,
the steel building girder by girder,
and, likewise, both are razed.
Greatness, as 1 have found men to
confess it la themselves, is measured
by a kindness here, an interest there,
a help and a suggestion.
Grandeur In individuality is not the
mastery of vital Bln, for he who can
not master such is considered weak,
but it is self-control enough to master
little things.
You'll And the men of friends to
have thin belief well fixed within
them:
The people whom we seek to serve;
The people from whom favors come,
Have nothing else to say to us,
Save little things we’ve kindly done.
