Seldom What They Seem.

This is a sort of topsy-turvy world.
No one seems to be satisfied. One
man is struggling to get justice and
another is flying from it..
One man is ordered TO eat eggs
because they are nutritious, and
another is cautioned to leave them
alone because they produce bile.
Robinson takes sherry to give
him an appetite, while Brown, who
has a wine cellar, can't touch drop
on account of his appetite tenden-
cies.
The prize fighter reforms and be-
comes a preacher, while the theolog-
ical student leaves his university TO
become professional baseball pitch
er.
One man keeps a pistol to protect
himself against burglars, while his
neighbor doesn't keep one for fear
of shooting some member Of the
house by mistake.
The man who can make 100000
year as general thing can't save
a cent, while the man who is thrifty
and wise is seldom so gifted that he
can earn anything at all.
One rich man wears poor clothes
because he is rich and can do any
thing, while a poor man wears fine
clothes because he is poor and wants
to create the impression that he is
not.
One man escapes all the diseases
that flesh is heir TO and is killed on
the railroad; another man goes
through half dozen wars without
a scratch and then dies Of whooping
cough,
The laborer with ten children keeps
out of debt on so "a week, while
many an unmarried bank official with
500 a week can't get along without
helping himself TO the banks funds.
Good people die and bad people
live. The man who is fat with health
can't get employment, and the man
who is making money hand-oyer-iist
has to give up business on account
Of i'll health.
You will sometimes see a man
planting trees around his place for
the shade; and, at the same time,
you will see another cutting down
all the trees around his house be-
cause they produce too much moist
ure.
One man is spending all the mon
ey he can earn in taking girl 10 the
theatre and sending her flowers, Ia
the hope that he may eventually
make her his wife, and his neighbor
is spending all the gold he has saved
TO get a divorce.
Ambition breaks the ties Of blood
and forgets the obligations OF graft
tude.
