From the New York Press.
 Every creed-maker has attempted to worship God in his own way, and to make other people do the same
 A man ought never to take a woman seriously except when he marries her, and then he cant help himself.
 A new dress may make a woman feel two years younger, but it generally makes her husband feel ten years older
 If women were angels their wings would always be in the way when a man wanted to put his arm around them.
 Every woman knows she is superior to her husband: the wise one is the one that never lets him know she knows it.

 What we want in Birmingham is home builders-people who come here to own their homes and live their days out; where their sons and daughters and grandchildren will continue to live l would rather see one family owning it's own home than twenty who rent or board and are prepared to move away on days notice. Of what value to a community is the Chinaman, who comes to make bit of money and then go back to China with it? So it is with others who would come but to remain in times of prosperity. A unity of spirit and interest among all classes would be to the profit and accumulation of all and money made here would remain here to be enjoyed in the climate of a country that knows sickness nor epidemic-where all life is rosy, and where the glow of the fur naces adds beauty and picturesqueness to the night time-where all life is a song of prosperity, plenty and happiness to the la borers, the investors, and even the man who lives and thrives upon the prosperity of others without bringing forth the sweat of his own brow

Took . Bite in tho Dark.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
/ A young man whose work keeps him
downtown until the early morning
hours usually reaches home with a
sharp appetite. His mother, an in
dulgent mother, too, puts little lunch
out where he can get it. but this fire.
quently fails to satisfy him. His wise
parent knows this and she saves the
larder from a wholesale onslaught by
locking things up.
Now, If there is one thing in par
ticular that this youth dotes upon it
is jelly. But jelly is an article of food
that takes time and skill in its prep
aration, and If the lady left her jelly
Jars at his disposal-well, there would
be none to dispose of after few
mornings. So the jelly is locked Up
the highest of all.
The other morning the youth let
himself into the house just as the gray
streaks of dawn ws.e cross-barring the
eastern sky. There was milk and bread
awaiting him, but his soul craved for
jelly. He determined to hunt for
some. Taking a slice of bread and a
knife he stole down cellar and searched
the fruit shelves. What happiness!
He dimly made out the outlines of a
jelly jar. Was there any jelly in it?
He dipped in his knife and felt the
soft and quivering mass. What a
joke on his usually careful mother
She had actually forgotten to turn
the key on this treasure.
He drew out a generous quantity
and carefully spread it on the bread
He had to d it largely by guess
work, because tn. cellar was almost to-
tally dark. When the spreading was
done he smacked his lips lightly anG
took a generous bite.
No. it wasn't jelly. 1t was sof
soap.
