Fable of the Man Who Found Better


A poor but Industrious Burglar, find

While the supply Of Hot Air, he rea-
soncd, appeared to be Unlimited, yet
the Demand continued Good and he
had no Doubt that if he could find
Some Way to put it on the Market in
Attractive Packages it would secure a
Ready Sale.
Casting about for Something that
beat Second Story Work. he spied the
Drug Business, but as his Capital con-
sisted wholly OF Native Wit he was
obliged to Cut that Out of the List Of
Possibilities. He further Observed that
the NeighbOrs had their Safes full Of
Mining Stock and decided that the
Competition in that Line was as Fierce
as in the Burglary Business.

that he cannot justify to himself is
the bidding a servant to say that he
is not at home when in reality he is in
side his house. At the same time he
is not able to receive the many visitors
who call upon him, and his only re-
source was to give instructions that
polite excuses should be given. Upon
one occasion such Instructions were
given to q maid, an Irish girl gifted

Make Lie Worth Living.


Our precious. hard earned wealth we
spend
For empty show and tinsel bright;
Good money with a pun we send
In smoke, cavorting out of sight,
And eer next pay day is in view
We haven't in our jeans a sou.
The laxuries somahow we need,
Necessities Yon't do instead;
We couldn't slacken down our speed ,
For such vulgar thing as bread.
Why should we miss TIE rosy views
Because the baby may need shoes?
And so we worry. pinch and plan.
Grow old and gray before our prime,
Work overtime wheneer we can
For bread? No, for high old time;
All for little gaudy show
And for a ten or two to blow.
Perhaps when all is done and said
That Is the better way to do.
For work and sleep and clothes and bread
Would life be worth the passing
, through?
For good authorities have said
Wen be n mighty long time dead.
Never lend n man your ear unless he
gives you his hand as security.
After carrying 4 ton of coal up two
flights of stairs you are convinced that
it weighs all of 1000 pounds.
No one needs to be lonesome since
fool is born every minute.
A bride is led to the altar, but IL she
understands her job she leads the man
| away.
No furnace ever has to be doctored
on account Of loss Of appetite.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Pleasure has been equipped with fly
ing machine for years.
Art is long, but artists are long only
on hair.
A run of luck will convince any man
| that he has ability.
Many man gets credit for ability
because his typewriter understands

When extremes meet. the man with
money seldom asks the one without
