1t is only the unlucky who think

Children are the coupons on the

White lies are the gentlemen

Many a man forgets his evil
deeds SO swiftly that he is honest.

Man has firmer grip on the
truths he thinks hc has found out
for himself, than on those he has
been taught.
Many a man would blush for
his wisest decisions if only he
should reflect on the reasons
which moved him to them.
70 see q clever man making o
fool OF himself is q sorry sight;

he can always give most excellent

4 PIucky Little Matron Resents Burly
Mans Abuse.

A Buffalo telegram says: People going
down Colt street tonight were startled by
a serious row At No. 50, a house standing q
little back from the roadway. Shouts
screams, imprecations, and the, vigorous
swish Of a heavy whip were heard, and IN d
moment ont came burly John Guerska, his
hat off, his face cut, and his eyes starting
from his head with terror. Close behind
him came Mrs Maiy Elsie, a slender little
woman of thirty, accompanied each steI
with vigorous blow from a whip. As the
pair reached the walk the heavy whiI
broke and Guerskg staggered away to ms
home next door. while his assallant sat
down and wept bitterly.
The cause Of the row was that Guerska's
children had been taken INTO custody On
complaint of the woman for annoying hel
children. Guerska at once went over and
demanded their release. This being re-
fused he began to abuse her. She bore il
long as she could and then seized the whil
and attacked him. The neighbOrs cheercC
the plucky little woman when they had
heard her story, and later Guerska wa,
denied warrant by the Police Justice.
