It should never be forgotten that this opinion Is

Some judges in various parts of the country

occupants of the bench ought to give careful

Poor Richards Almanac.

DR.. Franklin himself in one of the
last numbers of the almanac gathered
together all the best sayings of Poor
Richard, which for twenty-five years
had amused and edited the country.
These sayings are in constant use at
this day.
For example: EARLY to bed and early
to rise makes man healthy, wealthy
and wise;" Drive thy business; let it
not drive thee" Help hands, for
have no lands;;" mo gains without
palms," Constant dropping wears away
stones" "Three removes are as bad as
a fire." "He that by the plow would
thrive himself must either hold or
drive" "a fat kitchen makes a lean
WILL" Experience keeps dear school.
but fools will learn in no other"
1t was such homely maxims as these
inserted in all the little gaps Of the al.
manac that made 1t so popular. Frank.
lin said he sometimes sold 10000 copies
In a year, wonderful sale for that
day. The first number of Poor Rich.
ards Almanac appeared in 1892.

But of all the noble fleet Of whalers
