Greater Than Riches.

There are plenty of men in this coun-
try who are rich and yet have hardly a
cent in their pocket, some of them not
even owning pocket book. In this
land and in this day and age to have a
good constitution, good health, and
good pluck. are greater riches then gold
or silver. With many men, well divid-
ed energy, backed by clear mind and a
happy disposition is far better than
many acres left by indulgent parents
are, to others. That man who has a
home, good cheerful disposition, who
is kind hopeful and plucky, is rich if he
does not own dollar and has no eXpec-
tatiOn of one, except as he gets it by the
sweat of his brow and the honest efforts
of his own will and mind and talent.
The hardest thing in life is for a man
to get along with himself. If he can

Don't-DO Not.

Don't read this if you expect to find
the old stereotvDed advice unamended.
( Don't go to bed with cold feet unless
they have been picked and taken in
wardly.
Don't lie on the left side too much
lie on the right side all you can, as it
pays better.
Don't jump out of bed Immediately
on awakening in the morning but this
advice is unnecessary. No sane man
ever did it.
Don't eat between meals-if you get
hungry have the meals oftener or when
ever you get hungry.
Don't take long walks on an eIhpty
stomach. If:you want to walk on a
stomach at all, try and find full one,
as it is softer travelling. a stomach is
not very good place for long walk,
anyway-Texas Siftings.
