OPTIMISTIC OBSERVATIONS.

Trouble seldom visits those who do
not expect it.
Hope for the best-prepare for the
worst-and take what comes.
Failures should be used as stepping
stones to future success.
Happy is the woman who has as many
changes of gowns as she has of mind.
Woman was born to love and be loved
and she fights it out on that line.
Cynics and pessimists have a hard
row to hoe in this contrary old world
It's surprising how much woman
can say about herself without telling
anything
The wise worm doesn't crawl out until
after the early bird has eaten his break
fast.
Dying in poverty is easy enough; it's
living in poverty that comes hard on a
fellow.
1t doesn't matter if beauty is only
skin deep so long as the skin is worn
on the outside.
1t is only in accord with the eternal
fitness of things that miss, kiss and
bliss rhyme together.
1t is the circumstances of men over
which she has no control that is re-
sponsible for the spinster.
Out of evil comes good. The apple
| Eve swiped has furnished employment
to thousands of tailors and dressmakers

Lees AafIitary ueHsus,

One day during the war between the
states General Lee sent for General
Gordon and said to him: take these
regiments s'-mentioning some-"and 80
to spottsylvania. Be there tomorrow
morning."
In surprise, General Gordon asked
why troops were needed at that partic-
ular spot.
Because" replied General Lee,
"Grant will be there"
Nothing had been heard Of Grants
movements for a long time, but Gen.
eral Gordon supposed General Lee had
had some dispatches which had In
formed him Of Grants nearness. BE
asked II this was 80.
no" said Lee, but Grant ought to
be there, and he will be- Lee was a
great general himself and knew what
a great general should do. He had
studied out Grants plans from the
place where be last heard Of him and
decided where he would next make his
appearance.
General Gordon went to Spottsylva-
mia. Grant was there, and one Of the
aercest battles Of the war was fought.
