SPANISH PROVERBS.

A man who is not spoken Of is not
abused.
Much broth is sometimes made with
little meat
He who would leap high must take
a long run.
What is play to the strong is death
20 the weak.
When the wound is healed the pain
is forgotten.
A fool is like other men as long as
he is silent.
When the cord is tightest it is near
est swapping.
Counsel after action is like rain
after harvest.
Ask advice Of your equals, help Of
your superiOrs.
He who is scared by words has no
heart for deeds.
When one foot stumbles. the other
is near falling.
He would seek revenge must be on
his own guard.
A man does not always aim at what
he means to hit
A friends faults may be noticed.
but not blamed.
When the tree falls every one runs
to gather sticks.
He who would save should begin
with the mouth.
You may cook in small pots as well
as in large ones.
He who speaks i'll Of himself is
praised by no one.
Where you cannot climb over you

Fair words please the fool, and

You may light snother's candle at

Wash informing him that the attorney of that organiza- tion had been authorized to offer a reward of $500 for the apprehension and conviction of each person impli- cated in the lynching of Peter Berry man at Mena.
