and handed it to Mrs Brown, with
remark that there was $40 towards
the $20 he had promised her. Mrs
Brown handed the bill to Mrs. An
drews, the millinery, saying, THAT
pays for my new bonnet" Mrs
Andrewsin turn, passed it on to
Mr.. Jordan remarking that it would
pay for the carpenter work he had
done for her Dtr Jordan handed
it to Mr. Handley. requesting his
receipted bill for four and lumber
Mr.. Handley gave the bill back to
Mr.. Brown, saying, THAT pays $40
on my board" Mr.. Brown again
passed it to Mrs. Brown, remarking
that he had now paid her the $50
he had promised her. She in turn
paid it to Mr.. Black to settle her
b cad and pastry account. Mr.
Haudley. asked credit for tie

with the remark that it settled for
that months board; whereupop

All Honest Officials Alike.

There is no difference, between
an honest Republican official and
an honest Democratic official.
One is just as good as the other;
but when a voter is convinced that
he is voting against his interests
by voting with his party and re.
fuses to do, he becomes a better
citizen and is an honor to his coun-
try. And the fact that he voted
against his party does not change
his political in the least, because
the true principles of ano party dc
nol conflict with the rights of any
ore.

Two Points of view.
A sPINsTER SAYS THAT

Some men never look sober un.
less they are full.
Man was made to mourn, but a
widower usually outlives it.
Much of the experience a man
gets comes too late to benefit him.
Few men can resist the tempta-
tion to swallow undeserved praise.
Lying will never become a lost
art until all the men have been
buried.
Some men kick because their
daily bread doesn't come already
buttered.
But few men have been injured
by the accidental discharge of their
duty.
Women admire handsome man
when he has good sense-but
here's the trouble.
Some men get SO tired doing
nothing that they are never able to
do anything else.
After a mans scquaintanoes
really get to know him they often
fail to recognize him.
When a man says there's no use
talking you may as we'll prepare
for a long .winded argument.
The numb Der of things a man
knows about woman is only
about per cent of what he thinks
he knows.
You may have observed that men
who sit around and wait for dead
mems shoes never ont much of q
figure in history.
Beware of the man who smiles
when he is angry; he's dangerous.
And beware of the man who looks
glum when he is glad; he's pro-
badly humorist
AN OLD BACHELOR SAYS THAT
A woman can only be logical
when she hates a man.
Matrimony is about the worst
joke woman can play on a man.
The friendship between won,en
is a matter of doubt with most
men.
An old maid sees lifelong
enemy in every old bachelor she
meets.
A man is the most important
piece of furniture in a wonan's air
castle.
A girl eagerly swallows a mans
words when he says ice,cream
soda.
The bonds of matrimory would
be more popular if they paid cash
dividends.
Of course, marriage is a lottery;
that's why the law interferes in so
many cases.
The relations of a mans wife
alws,s expect more of him than he
,qpects of himself
Women love three times; the
first accidental. the second design
and the third despair.
No fair maid can successfully
chew gum and nurse case disap-
pointed love at the same time.
A girl only partly returns mans
affections when she returns his
letters and retains the presents.
Before reaching the age of thirty
a man wonders how soon he will
marry; after that that he wonders
how long he can keep from it.
