Cogitations on the Top Rail

The fun OF sleighing is more
in the jingle of the bells than in
the speed of the trotter.
Memory fattens on trouble
while the body grows lean.
Never run when walking will
answer the same purpose-it is
a useless waste of tissue.
The grin on the other fellow s
face is far more aggravating
than the fact that he has just
whipped you.
When q fellow wants to fight
he does not scream for some one
to hold him.
II is a positive luxury to have
some folks abuse you.
If a Business man publishes
the facts that honesty is his
motto, The community is apt to
tight shy of him.
A tight shoe is more of a ty-
rant than either a socialist or a
boycotter.
The problem OF life will be
solved when you want nothing
and can get nothing.
Tt is always some one else's
letters we forget to mail.
When a man is painfully in
nocent watch him.
Imprudence will take you fur
ther than timidity and also get
you whipped oftener. Detroit

An industrious correspondent of the

TnE new ruling of Commissioner
Sparks, that parties who are not attorneys
at law shall file power of attorney" is
calculated to lessen the large number of
contest cases before the United States
land Office, because it is impossible for a
myth to execute a power OF attorney. 1t
has been minated that a large number of
these contests are brought for black-mail-
ing purposes. If this be true, the per-
sons who have been doing n thriving bust
ness in this line, since this ruling, can ex-
claim with Othollo, MY occupation is
