Every mar knows that a crank is
some other fellow.
The man who is willing to help you
is usually unable to help himself.
Some men come into the world ask
Ing 'Why?" but no one is able to an
swer.
1t is a curious psychological fact
that a man can be in a dozen different
minds.
1t is easy to have the patience of
Job when tho boils are on some other
fellow.
The politician absorbs a lot of
liquids in order to make himself solid
with the boys.
Avoid Authorizations in writing-oth.
erwise you will get into the habit Of
breaking your word.
Employees may not be meddlesome.
body else's business.
Policemen should be successful
spectators; so many servant girls
let them in on the ground floor.
Death struggles are hard, but they
are nothing in comparison with the
struggles of some people to live.
Don't snub a man because he looks
green. A watermelon has a similar
look, but it is usually all right at
heart.
When some men talk. others are
apt to regret that automatic ear
closers have not yet been placed upon
the market.

FARMER SURPRISED HIS WIFE.

IS thus related by the Fulton
Leader:
a good story is told Of farm
er living east of Fulton, who wore
MS old suit. the one thar Noah left
II the ark, till every one was tired
OF it, and his estimable wife was
almost ashamed Of the hustling
farmer who had been inside of It
SC long. But one day recently he
came to Fulton to sell his produce
and while in town he determined
to buy new suit and, happy
thought surprise Eliza. So he
banded . neat suit in the wagon
and drove homeward. Ii was af-
ter night rs he hurried home and
at the bridge near Baaz Chapel he
stood up in the wagon and peeled
of and threw the despised ole suit
into the river. Then he reached
for his new clothes. They we're
gone--had jolted out of the wagon !
The night was cold and his teeth
chartered as he hurried home. He
surprised Eliza even more than he
anticipated"
