found out that College players were at a

but the I.aurels were not satisfied with
what they were doing, so they put new
man in the pitchers box; the Berlin boys
slugged him numerically and the whole
club became so badly ratified that Berlin

Mercy and truth are the wings of

Mercy is the touch of a mother

The right kind of man is never

The gold plating on a wire does not

The surest way to win the love of
people is 10 become IovabIe.
Whenever a wise man makes a mis-.

Self conceited people are very apt

that he IS a fool he has became a

The only people who are not made
better by giving are those who do not
give half enough.

the poorest in the next.
No man can get wisdom enough to
keep him from seeing tomorrow that

ThuS disappears from the statute

this subject originated in the theory
once everywhere accepted that the
wife was a chatteI, the property Of
the husband. Long after that theory
disappeared, the law still maintained
many of the disabilities of married
women which could be justified only
by the abandoned conception. The
law is always SLOW to recognize
changes in society and civilization aud
Il has been peculiarly conservative and

But our generation has been very

disabilities of married women have
been removed, until now the last OF
them has been blotted ont in New
