STARTING POINTS. lob
& Co., have wisely consented to follow
the example of Hairless & Davisson
in putting MP cottages on lots in Jobs
addition. and selling them to purchas-
ers at easy terms of installments. The
move in this direction by our moneyed
men is the most commendable that
could be made While it affords rea-
sonable compensation to them, us well
as an almost certain disposal Of their
real estate at fair price, it also gives
the poorer class of people easy access
to homes, and they will. not fail to
make the. most of these opportunities.
This is decidedly the best method of
supplying the present demand for
houses in this city, and it will prove
very beneficial in every respect. Most
anyone can afford to secure homes
under these very accommodating terms,
and the gentlemen named deserve par
ticular notice for having started a move
in that direction. 1t will pay both
parties.

Whenever you find a woman who
maligns and berates the man indiscrinate-
ly condemniug every man as tyrant,
take my word for it, that woman is Judg-
ing mankind by the one particular specl-
men belonging to her, and he is generally
pretty poor lot too A woman with a
good husband is apt to have a fair opinion
of the husbands of other women.
Whenever you hear man sing with
fulsome fattery and fiowery eloquence the
praises of woman" painting her only a
little lower than the angels; picturing the
desolateness of this weary world without
her; lamenting the good old days OF
chivalry, when men fought and died for a
woman's smile-you may wager anything
you like, that man is one of the sort to sit
with his heels on the mantel piece while
his wife splits the kindling and brings In
the coal Nine times out of ten he will be
the man who spends dollars on himself,
and grudgingly dolls out cents to buy the
bay pair of shoes.
Whenever you hear woman talk loud
est of mans injustice to woman, and al
ways spells woman" with capital Nv, \"
look out for her. She it is who pays her
washerwoman in old clothes and
broken victuals, and beats the poor
seamstress down to starvation prices
She it is who cuts and stabs with
n look or a word, and makes up the half
forgotten scandal; who always remembers
the many mistakes you have made, but
never the good things you do.
Whenever a theatrical performance,
which is so loudly advertised as TO give it
a very doubtful flavor indeed, is largely
patronized by married men, who leave
their wives at home while they betake
themselves through all sorts of weather to
see a play that is proper for men but not
for women-the influence must be that
there are an alarming lot of men from
whose natures the influence of the best
and sweetest women can never quite elem
mate the beast.
Whenever you see woman laden with
bundles chasing a street car while she
wildly gesticulates with an umbrella and
strews the sidewalk with parcels, you
may conclude one of two things. Either
she is one of those idiotic females who
never hail car until it has passed, or
else she is the victim of the superior airs
of one whom nature intended for duke
at the very least. but whom fate condemns
to the hard lot of a street car conductor.
Whenever you find "A man or woman
who invariably speaks the kind word in
stead of the harsh one: who Is eager TO
help and comfort any of Gods creatures.
from the reduced millionaire. to the
wretched tramp, or even a lame dog
then you have found one who has The
spirit of Jesus, even though he were born
a Mohammedan or HOutentot.
