No truer thing could be said about the
most vital matter in life than this by a
writer in the Ladies' Home Journal: If l
were asked by young man or young
woman how to be guided in the choice of
life mate, should, in the exercise of
Judgment based on wide and studious OBJ
servation, say: Choose that person who
after reasonable period of association,
proves to be the most companionable. This
broad law compreheads nearly all others

There was once man who on April
1st saw large, fat pocket book at rest on
the pavement. He knew it was the first
of April, and he put his thumb to his more
and wriggled it in derision, saying in mock
ing tones: ~ am too fly to be scooped
tor q sucker on an old trick like that"

to say, nobody secured possession of it.
The wicked man who lost it hadn't lost it.
He had simply attached long nail to it
and drove the nail between two bricks
The first party to tackle it was a farmer
man carrying large basket of produce on
each arm. He was a fat man too, and as
he put down his baskets he groaned. He
groaned some more when he reached down
to pick up the cent, and he kept on groan-

the coin out by the roots. He was still
putting as if over hard task when he
went on up the street. A busine ess man on
the way TO the postoffice saw the cent,
