The Cochran Journal is playing

splendid paper.
There arc two ways of bring
happy: Wo may either diminish
otir wants or augment onr means ?
either will do?the result is the
same; and it is for each man to
decide for himself, and do that
which happens to he the easiest
If you are idle or sick or poor,
however hard it may he to dim
inish your wants, it will be harder
to augment your means.
Ifyati are active and prosperous
or young or in good health, it may
be easier for you to augment you>
means than to diminish your
wants.
But if you aro wise, you will do
both at the sair.e time, young or
old. rich or poor, sick or well; and
if you are very wise you will do
both in such a way as to augment
the general happiness of soeicty.?

FIVE LITTLE WORDS
There are five liltlo words, I'd
have you to know;
They are: "PARDON ME,"
"THANK YOU" and
"Please."
Oh, uho them quite often where
ever you go;
Theie are few words moro
useful than these.
These five little words arc filled
with a power
That money or fame cannol
give,
So commit them to memory thii
very hour.
And use them as long an you
live!
Bellhop (to newly uahered in
gucsl): Anything I can do for you!
The Wise Guy: No, thanks?
I've got some in my Miitcnse.
Some people are so antagonistic
that evey time pome one rolls up
liis sleeves to go to work, he is
licensed of getting ready for a
light.
Husband: You accuse mo of
reckless extravagance. When did
I ?ver make a useless purchase!
Wife: Why, there's that fire
extinguisher you bought a year
ago. We've never used it once.
The biggest mistake many fel

Agent:"Yes sir, right here, sir."
Ho (shocked): "Never mind.
The show can't be any good."
When men show their colors

The famous criminal lawyer had
won a shockingly bad case by
eloquence anil trickery, and a
rival lawyer said to him bitteily:
"Is there any case so low, so foul, j
so vilely crooked and shameful
that you'd refuse it?"
"Well. 1 don't know." answered
the other with a smile ' VN lint
have you been doing now!"
Knowledge and wisdom may he
related but it's no more thnn s?n
in-law relation.
Two Counties Honored
Ylrglnln I* known ns the mother of
l*rosldents because eight Presidents of
(ho United Stntes wore born within
her borders, says the Pathfinder Mag
ftz'.ne. Washington, Jefferson, Mndl
aon. Monro?, William II. Harrison, Ty
ler, Tnylor and Wilson first saw the
light of the day In the Old I>omlnlon.
Tvro counties had the honor of Riving
birth to four of these distinguished
men. Washington and Monroe were
born In Westmoreland n.nd Harrison
and Tyler, born In the same county,
j Tt Is an Interesting fact that Harrison
; and Tyler, born In the same county
were elected President and rlce preM
dent, respectively, at the same time.
So It happened that when Harrison
died ? month after taking oath of
office he was succeeded by a man born
, la the same county,

wildcat.
Mr. Edison talk? glibly of the

from the present indfeatious, if
we arc ever to have one. he will
have to evolve it out of his labora
tory.
Enthusiastic Augusta, Ga. fans
wanted to make Ty Cobb mayor,
but Ty has sense. He said he is a
baseball player, not a politician
and never the twain should meet.
About 350 Texas girls aro earn
ing all or part of their waj
through the state university, while
only one robbed a bank.
A Maine car owner is not to be
trifled with. On? was hit by a
blinded cow that was permitted to
wander on the streets and was
given $I8H to repair his damaged
car by a horny handed jury.
The papers say New York Citj
has passed a cuifew law, and dc
mand that everybody go to theii
home, room or hotel by 3 a. ra. If

caster, Pa. One man pretending to
be a plumber is usually sufficient
for an ordjnary job.
Mr. Browning's experience
rattier refutes the idea that it is
advisable to "catch 'em young
and treat 'em rough."
Farmer boys will doubtless be
delighted to learn that the days
are getting longer so they can get
up earlier to do the milking.
It seems that the Texas eo-ed
bandit stole because she had a
husband to support. That ought
to be good for a p ml on from "Ma"
Ferguson.
A hard winter is prophesied. In
the many outlying Hub-divisions
the snow will be up to the girls'
skirts.

The world's woolen crop is five
times greater than it was lOOyears
ago But there are now almost five
times as many eyes to pull it over.
"Officials working hard for bone

Short but Merry Life
The gentleman bo? is the world's
greatest loafer. He sings and plays
all rammer long. So long as the son
shines and the honey Is coming In

wants to eat and l"t him lire In the
hive. But when winter comes his fnn
Is over. The worker? don't waste'

to stay out. With free hoard and

Tf tirno 1?o of nil tbinps most
