s PICKED UP
The price of dishonesty is the fear
of being found out,
It's easy to be philosophical with
the other man's troubles,
The trouble is that a lot of folks
get married who should never have
even become engaged.
Indifference is the hardest obstacle
progress has to overcome,
* Where you find conceit it is folly to ‘
look for mueh of anything else. |
No one has yet invented an alarm
clock that can arouse indifference.
The income tax shows where the
money comes from and then sets us
gll to wonderlng where it goes to.

doesn’t live within his present in

A FEW REFLECTIONS
Knowledge and timber should be
geasoned before using.
A shallow mind offers poor anchor
age for broad opinions,
To attain happiness one must glve
up the pursuit of pleasure, |
Patience ig the art, or rather the
practice, of enduring human stupidity,
- |
No wonder egotlsts find the world
80 ugly, they see only Themselves in it.
There is more fatigue in laziness
than in labor, Someone has sald: It's
the things we don't do that tire us
most, ‘
The excesses of our youth are drafts ‘
upon our maturity, payable with inter- |
est about thirty years after date.
EYE-OPENERS
Life {s what you make it
The photogmpher knows how =&
woman really looks,
Matrimony s life's greatest eye
opener.
A fellow falls In love for & woman's
reason,
; Thank God for rotten weather; it
makes us love spring.
SENTENCE SERMONS ;
Love comes just exactly once—in a
while,
Ambition needs to look out for brok- |
en rungs.
The thankless child merely proves
what we all knew,
A perpetual grouch is almost as an
noying as an endless giggle. |

Little by little the jokesmith’s stock
n trade is boing' depleted through sci
sintific discovery. An English profes
sor now declares that people get
sleepy during the sermon because they
hypnotize themselves gazing fixedly at
the preacher. It is not because they
are inattentive, but because they are
too attentive. Therefore, jokes on the
subject are not knocks for the parson,
|but boosts.

This adds greatly to the comfort of
your pets. They will not swim Sso
wildly but seck the bottom and rest.
Very pretty castles can be built of
rough pebbles, and cement (choosing
a cement that wili not be affected by
water) projections, ncoks and tunnels
will be appreciated by the fish. Boys
~and giris, too, will find making them &
pleasure.
Env')'/ of Talent, i
As to clever people's hating each
other, I think a little extra talent does
sometimes make people jealous. They
pecome irritated by perpetual attempts
and failures, and it hurts their tem
pers and dispositions. Uapretending
mediocrity iz good, and genius is glo
rious; but a weak flaveor of genius in
'an essentially common p2rson is detest- :
lnble. It spoils the grand neutrality of |
a commonplace character, as the rins- |

FLASHLIGHTS
One way to avoid the bitterness of
losing 1s never to play,
It is beiter to refuse the request
than to break the promise,
Overwork s often merely a nice
pame given to over-indulgence.
Facts are stubborn, but they usval
ly have the truth on their side,
Some folks seem to have lost the
art of having a good time at home,
When a young man makes a mis
tuke, age should give him credit for
having tried. :
One can be a success in this life
and still play a miserable game of
bridge whist.
As a rule the man who loses his
femper today is the one who will be
around apologizing tomorrow,
A good-natured man may get the
worst of it now and then, but nobody
ever goes out of his way to give a
grouch any the best of it-—Detroit
Free Press.
