REFLECTIONS OF A sPINsTER.

A man whom a dog will trust is
never wholly bad.
Woman has three weapons-fiat-
terry, food and filtration.
At twenty men love a woman; at
thirty woman; at forty, women.
A woman who a keep her lover
as a friend never believes in his love.
Anger is a better weapon than
tears; a burr commands more respect
than q sensitive plant.
1t isn't what he doesn't know that
troubles a man, but what he knows he
knows he doesn't know.
People who consider love al a
dream usually grow to think of mar
riage as the cold breakfast.

A Self-Made Man,

Ex-President Clevelend's definition
of q self-made man differs from the
ordinary acceptation of that term, but
1t Is one that will stand the test OF
intelligent scrutiny. The self-made
man, as defined by the ex-president,
is he who has made the most of him
self, not necessarily by his own
unaided efforts, but with whatever
assistance he could secure Whether
this definition is strictly correct or
not, it Is an interesting one, and II
rather adds to than detracts from the
merit that attaches to self-help.
