LINES OF WISDOM
Silence is the father of truth.

Industry attracts good things. 1
TS
No one is great without faith.
It’s the early edition that catches
the bookworm.
Facts must be feminine —at least
they are stubborn things.
A man may be self-possessed and
still have no taxes to pay.
Never agree with a woman when
she is abusing her husband.
Few men cut their wisdom teeth
until after they are married.
Courtship is a beau-knot that mar
riage pulls into a hard knot.
Adversity sometimes brings out a
man’s good points—by the roots.
Girls should always sing soprano
instead of alto because it is higher
toned.
If abuse makes a man whine in
stead of rage, there’s something
wrong.
It’s a wise man who doesn’t send
his wife to the door when fortune
knocks.
Some people are not on speaking
terms with their own conscience half
the time.
You cannot teach a man anything;
you only help him to find it within
himself. —Galileo.
It is no pleasure for a man to do
as he pleases until after he gets mar
ried—then he can’t.
Meeting clever people sometimes
proves this: That they care nothing
for any cleverness but their own.
Native African Belief
Aids Spread of Pests
Rhodesia is suffering badly from the
depredations of lions and leopards. It
would be the simplest matter in the
world to eliprinate these pests as in
most parts of South Africa, but the
natives, although baited by the offers
of gems and other rewards, simply will
not help the white farmers in this
matter. The whole truth is that the
natives believe that the spirits of their
departed chiefs are reincarnated in
the lions and leopards that infest the
country.
Asa result of this superstition no
native dare kill a lion for fear of
bringing the anger of the spirits upon
him and his family. The native is
rather between the devil and the deep
sea, because the “spirits” have a nasty
habit of carrying off members of his
family when hungry. —Washington
Star.
She Was Jealous
Doris had just become engaged to
Willie. A week or two after the an
nouncement had been given out she
went to tea with one of her friends.
“Now, dear,” said this friend. “I
want to hear all about it. How did
Willie propose?’
Doris blushed.
“He paid me a great compliment,”
she replied. “He said that I was the
eighth wonder of the world, and that
he could never live without me.”
“Really?” gushed the other girl.
“And what was your answer?”
“Oh, I told him I’d have him,” said
Doris. “But I warned him at the
same time that there’d be trouble if
ever I caught him with one of those
other seven!”
“Foreigners” in Army
No attempt has ever been made to
classify the United States army per
sonnel by nationality or place of nativ
ity. In a tabulation, however, involv
ing about 3,000,000 names of veterans
(from among the 4,057,101 individuals
who served in the United States army
during the World war) whose appli
cations for adjusted compensation
were passed by the War department
prior to May 1, 1928, It appears that
the foreign-born among those appli
cants numbered 340,533.
Blame and Praise
“You have been accused of being a
grafter.”
“Everybody knows,” said Senator
Sorghum, “that I have not great for
tune. If I had, I wouldn’t' be accused,
I’d be overwhelmed with flattery.”
Centenarian’s Record
A Sussex (England) lady who re
cently celebrated her hundredth birth
day received a medal from the British
Red Cross society for her war services
which included sewing over 400 shirts
for the men at the front.

SNAPPY SALLIES

to the fair sex.'
Wherever the climate is perfect,
the wages are poor.
Marriage is a means of grace when
it leads to repentance.
Yellow streak in a man is never
mistaken for a heart of gold.
There are men who don’t want
“pals,” either men or women.
Lots of men are pleasant to talk to,

Raisins Fed to Cattle
Cattle feeders are buying raisins
from the Fresno (Calif.) district for
feeding cows, hogs and sheep on the
basis of sl6 a ton. Records show the
raisins have fully this value as feed.
On former tests, it is said, the raisins
were of such poor quality that feeders
’were discouraged, but when a better
quality was tried good results were
obtained. If a large enough demand
is created it is thought that the aver
age market price can be brought up
by this use of surplus raisins.—Cap
per’s Weekly.
Of Course
Hector Volpone, the Kansas City
banker, said on his return from Italy:
“Italy progresses very fast because
she has done away with her old polit
ical parties.
“The old political parties in Italy—
and maybe this holds true in certain
other countries as well —the old po
litical parties were just groups or
blocs of men that prevented one an
other from doing anything except, of
course, the taxpayer.”—Exchange.
