our forehead. So does the mule.
We let parties get on and ride
Us as long as they behave them
selves. So does the mule. But
when any nation sticks spurs
into our TANKS and tickles our
heels with a straw, we come
down stiff-legged in front, our
ears look to the beautiful be-
yond, our voice cut loose, and
is still for war, and our subse-
quent end plays the snare drum
on anything that gets in reach
of us, and strikes terror to the
hearts af all tyrants. So does
the mule. When the country
gets older, and Congress has
time to get in its work the eagle
will be superseded as the nation

will rise the mule in all his glory.

alluding to the eagle says:

Thy home is high in Heaven"
"This is too true. He is a
high old bird, and the commit

1t is good to be deaf when the
slanderer begins to talk.
Love drifts into hate more easily
than Indifference into animosity.
'Just one little drink" has made

He is no true friend who has
nothing but compliments and praise
for you.
Many people find their only hap.
piness in forcing themselves to be
unhappy.
Sharp and intelligent rascals are
more respected than virtuous fools.
Half Of the pleasure of riches
consists in seeing others suffer the
pangs Of poverty.
| To borrow pocket knife and find
it will cut is one of the pleasantest
surprises of life.
When religious society quarrels
and splits, it stands to reason that
the devil gets one Of the divisions.
1t is not difficult to do good, for
the means are constantly clustering
about every mans lips and hands.
| He is indeed an afflicted man who
can pass a beautiful woman without
for an instant forgetting his sor
