FUN

Fun should be cultivated as "a fine art, for
it is altogether a fine thing. Who ever
knew funny man to be a bad one? On
the contrary, is he not, nine times out OF
ten, generous, humane, social and good ?
To be sure he is. Fun-it is n great thing.
1t smooths the rough places of life, makes
the disposition as fresh and rosy as maid
ems kiss; scatters sunshine and flowers
wherever it goes !; makes all girls as pretty
as June roses. We go in for fun. The
man who won't cultivate it must keep a
good sized half rod between us.
