Faint praise is akin to abuse.
Short flax makes long thread
Power often goes before talent.
Death does not blow trumpet
Gray hairs are deaths blossoms.
Praise fair day in the evening
Alone in counsel. alone in sorrow
short cut is often a wrong c.
New comers are always wslcoI4s.
Every bird needs it's own feathers.
Let every bird sing its own note.
Trust everybody, but thyself most:
We must suffer much, or die young
Every man thinks his copper is gold
Every wind is against leaky ship
Unwilling service earns no thanks
woman S first counsel Is the best.
He that courts injury will obtain IT.
He who fees proves himself guilty
s Do not wade when you see no bot
tom.
It is bad to lean against falling
WALL
Better the child cry than the mother
sigh.
We must SOW even after bad har-
vest.
An ill-tempered dog has Scared
nose.
Never let fools see half finished
work.
Even he gets on who is drawn by
oxen.
Big words seldom 50 with good
deeds.
It is folly to fear what one cannot
avoid.
He is easy to lure who is ready to
follow.
Little sorrows are loud, great UneS
silent
Riches are often abused, but never
refused.
Every fool thinks he is clever
enough.
Under white ashes lie often glowing
embers.
A thankless man never does a thanIl--
ful deed.
It is the raised stick that makes ttse
dog obey.
It is hard to pay for bread that has

If the old saying, "All the world
loves lover" is true, then the fiction
in the Cosmopolitan for January should
be popular, indeed. All the stories
vary in treatment, plot and action,
from Frances Courtenay Bay1or's
cearming story, ''Cupid's Practical
joke" to Maarten Martens strong
domestic tragedy, "Her Fathers
Wife," but all have love for central
theme.
