POINTED PARAeRAPHa

From the Chicago News.l
Love and poetry are seldom hamp-
cred by facts.
The beauty of some photographs lies
in the background
A man who wants to be mean never
wants an opportunity.
The autObiographer modestly tries to
make a hero of himself.
Love is one of the diseases for which
the onion is a sure cure.
Women are suspicious Of men be-
cause men don't cry when they have
troubles.
Blind people are usually smart; they
have a sight of sense but no sense of
sight
When a couple marry under the rose
they usually walk on a path Of thorns
ever after.
The young man on a salary of Sc a
week is apt to think his best girl dearer
than he can afford.
1t is easier for a man to fall or a
camel than it is for him to coax a.
thread through the eye of a needle.
Every time a woman reads of a man
committing suicide she wonders what
other woman was at the bottom of it
Wise is the girl who possesses such
an unromantic thing as an appetite if
she marries a butcher instead of a
poet.
When a man tells a wealthy widow
that she is all the world to him, he
evidently believes the world owes him
a living.
