There is more real happiness in re-

Even q mule has got head on the

AZ We get older we gro less certain
OF things In general.
friendships are like mummy in one
respect; it is easier to make them than
to keep them.
One haff the trouble Of life can bo
traced to not saying "no" at the right
time.
Men never forget the favors they be.
stow upon others, and seldom remem-
ber those they receive.
1t man ia natural now a .days. he
is charged at once with being eccentric

About the only difference between o
