THEY SAY.

Don't be too certain about any

The pit you dig for others may
be filled by you.
Dogs may bark, but they are
generally harmless.
You may see a thing and yet not
prove it.
Some peoples misfortune is the
result OF some ones gain.
Some people live on the misfOr-
tunes Of others.
Do the best you can it will do
you good some times.
This is a world of sin hence, you
must be careful how you go.
Be certain that you are right and
then you are safe,
Be above suspicion and then
you will not be watched.
Do right, then you need not
think that every bush is an officer.
You cannot always have your
own way.
The successful man is he who
does right.
Don't drag your friends into
scOru others.
They are for the vulgar and the
impure.
If you have a good friend stick
to him.
Don't believe all that is said to
you.
Some people don't know when
they have a good friend.
You shall reap what you SOW,
Those whom you have aided
often turn against YOU.
Think well of those who have be
frieuded You.
We often see others faults but
not our own.
Be what you are aud don'tput on
youself a false face.
President Roosevelt is a man.
Senators Hanna and Foraker are

Ohio will go strongly repub lican
in November.
Be sure that you are right.
The South will attempt to dictate
where the President shall 60 here

The President will have to consult

Nothing is certain until it is

The President knows what to do

Doctors have very much less latitude
in the matter of facial decoration than
men Of any other profession because II
seems to be taken as a settled fact that
they must wear only boards.
Il happen to have a great many doc
tors under my care" said the barber
whose name is known to more New
Workers than any other, "and all of
them excepting two wear boards. These
two are both over 80, and they allow
themselves the luxury of gray mus
taches. Most of the others are men
between 30 and 40, and | don't believe
there is one of them who wears a beard
from choice. Some of them would very
much like to be smooth faced, while
others look with envy at the men able
to wear only mustache. They also
say that professional reasons compel
them to wear boards.
'Youthfulness in a doctor seems to
be more of a disadvantage than in any
other profession. One hears a great
deal of gray haired men having to dye
their hair and mustache if they want
to find work, but it is just as true that
men are compelled to adept some de-
vice to make them look older when
youthfulness is a disadvantage. For
that reason all my doctor clients have
TO wear boards whether these are be-
coming to them or ot"-New York
