Some Western Wisdom.

Homely people make the best friends.
The more wealth a man haaSthe loud
er his children talk.
No girl likes to be seen carrying .
corset-boX on the street.
A loafol has no right that busy man
:J bound to respect.
When man sees a door marked
''Priyate" he wants to open it.
You can't realize how few dollars
there are in So bill until you break it.
When you see some children you at
once begin to doubt the good sense of
their parents.
Carry dollar and a nickel in a
pocket with a hole in it and you will
lose the dollar and save the nickel.
The beauty Of having children in the
house is that whenever you want small
change YOU can always find it in the
children's bank.
A woman believes that there is moth
ing that the Lord will forgive more
readily than the sewing of a button on
an angry husbands shirt Sunday.
We feel sorry for boy. To be 3
boy of IA OF 15 means to be the occup.
ant of the worst old lumber-room in
the house If there is any money spent
on decoration it is in the girls room,
because girls are supposed to like pref
ty things and boys are rough" The
average boy carries feeling of neg
lect away down in his heart, and this
feeling often results in bad boys.-

This way. please; here they are;
made by Ready, Sale & CO.; the very
best in the market, What size did you
say?"
II wear threes, slim
''Ah! here we are: now, then. Fits
you like glove. If | had taken your
measure couldn't have done better y
They seem to be all right By the
way, are these the same make of shoes
that Mrs. Lightfoot wears?n
well, to tell the truth, no. She al
ways wears make that costs dollar
a pair more"
But you said these were the very
best"
For wear and quality so they
are?''
Then why should Mrs. Lghtfoot
pay 81 extra for hers?"
why, she won't have any other
shoe but Fitem & Co.'S. because she
can wear size smaller OF theirs than
she can of any others
ooh. But you really don't mean to

literal fact. The conversation took
place just as it is written with the ex-
ception of the names. Although the
measurements of the woman's foot call

The explanation is simply this: There
are manufacturers who, when order
ing sets of lasts, instruct the sellers to
deliver them unstamped. The stamp
ing is done in the shoe factory, each
last being marked half size or size
smaller than it measures. The uppers

The Society Kiss.

o. every one knows what bliss in a kiss is,
That's given and taken with plenty of love;
It's one thing at least that never amiss is
That no ones below, and no ones above.
But save us, good Jupiter, save us from kisses
Society ladies exchange when they meet;
For clammiest, coolest of courtesies this is
Sans sympathy, sugar, and served without
heat.
Motion one-Purse the lips just ever so little:
Motion two-Stick your head out, your model
a snake
Then dab your opponent-as if lips were brit
tie,
And using them roughly would cause them
TO break.
Retire in good order composing your features
To look like a statue or death mask of wax
Therei you have all the rules by which the
dear creatures
Reduce TO a science their kissing attacks,
