Carelessness is often mistaken for

There is nothing as heavy as a
heart without hope.
1t is an awful bad neighbor that
has no good qualities.
When it is your own fault, don t
grumble Cure the fault.
Tell the truth, but remember that
it is not always necessary to tell the
truth.
Some big men would shrink to moth
ingness if deprived of their pocket
books
Men who can least afford it are the
men CALLED upon most often to make
sacrifices.
A ballot in the box is worth two
objections after the new administra-
tion takes hold.
Some men fail to distinguish be-
tween making a reputation and build
ing a character.
You waste time talking agnosticism
to the mother who weeps over the
bier of her babe.
The man who makes opportunities
is the man who usually has a chance

The man who votes without think
