Dorothy Manners Says.

Men think in words; women
think in pictures.
Men are the cause of women
not loving one another.
The conversation Of women
in society resembles the straw
used in packing; it is nothing.
yet without it everything would
be broken.
If woman did turn man out of
paradise she has done her best
ever since to make it up to him.
America has all the future in
the hollow Of her hand.
If we love we cruelty our
selves to the cross of sacrifice.
| wonder why we who are
mean and cunning and treach-
erous and hypocritical should
have immortal souls and horses
and dogs who are faithful and
kind and honest should be sup
posed to have none.
Love clamors far more in
cessantly at closed gate than
at an open one.
When a man takes TO observ-
ing common things as if they
were special birthday presents
from the Almighty you may be
pretty sure there's something
out of the ordinary in him
A Mississippi editor perpe
trates the following" olive
down in your pockets and dig
up the dust, the editor is hungry
and the paper bout to bust.
We've trusted you for several
months and did it with u smile,
so just return the compliment
and trust to us awhile. Our
wife she needs some stockings,
and the baby needs a dress;
Jimmy needs some breaches
and SO does Kate and Bess;
Pub is on the hog train and
Peggy sick with grief and, god
gosh almighty, can't you bring
a man relief? Shell out the
nickels, dig up the dimes, turn
'em loose and whistle and well
have better times. There will
be fewer patches on the bosom
of our pants and we'll make a
better paper if we get half a
chance. Don't give US that old
story, long gone to seed, about
taking more papers than the
family wants to read, but help
to feed the printer and he'll
the town to grow; and thus
escape the sulphur in the
regions down below"
