THOUGHTS

We all have our trials. and most Of
as are declared guilty
It is well TO bear in mind that our
wise advisers are not advising them
selves.
Man gets into trouble because he is
a foo. and gets out Of trouble be-
cause he isn't fool. and there you
are.
The most closely kept secrets are
forever floating about I'm disguise.
An acquired dignity often meets
itself coming back again
Every man remembers a bIissIuI
period in mis- life when he thought he
could sing tenor.
