Observations on Commonplace Matters

Every man takes off his hat to

If you are rabbit dog, don't fight
bull dog.
Some people are so good-natured they
are disagreeable.
Are loafers becoming more impudent
or are they more modest?
In every town, there is ran who is
generally referred to as Uriah Heep.
We admire brave man, but do not
blame anyone for running from small

What has become of the old fashioned
woman who did things in three shakes
OF lambs tail?
Owing to the change of fashions,
every woman looks younger than her
picture taken five years ago.
Even a seal skin cloak won't recon
Gle a thin woman to winter; thin
woman is always cold in winter.
Every time you get a chance, give
loafer to understand that he is not re-

You are sure you would not run on

legs out bravely when you strike the
cold sheets at night?
The guests at woman's house are
usually of two kinds: those so young
they iirt with Ter husband, or so old
that they abuse him.
1t is the real soulful woman's com
plant that she sometimes feels like

| What has become of the old fashioned
home where the children sat with their

| If we We're a woman, and went TO
call on another woman. we would re-

probably has something in the oven.
Unless woman talks of the "ashes

| We know a man who is trying to

really wants to get rid of 1t, but it is
almost an impossibility. Boys, don't
begin bad habits. There never was a
bad habit that wasn't curse. whereas
good habits are always blessing.
People have different tastes. Do not
grumble at your neighbor because he
does not accept your opinions, and
does not like your amusements. The
writer of this does not like football

people like football, and we are willing
