An ounce of diplomacy is worth a
pound of blunder.
A wise man never questions the
private age of a woman.
Speech is silver. silence is golden-and
cheek is brass.
A mans true character crops out

If time is money, police judges are the
most charitable Of men.
The early cucumber takes a fall out
of a man after he gets it down.
Some men cali women angels-but
then you can't believe a word some
men say.
Be sure you are right-then sit down
and enjoy the fruit of your judgment.
The race is not always to the swift
The fastest colors are those that won t

City Clerk Squires says: THE mayor
