Reflections Of a Bachelor.

A husband is a very poor IN
de- Judy for man.
Experience is teacher whose
pupils will not learn.
A girls fingers can stand more
squeezing in a mans hand than
a hickory nut.
A great deal of very fine re-
ligion has been spell ed by try
ing to make furnace burn.
1t is mighty hard for a woman
to see that anything is immod-
est if it is becoming to her
A lot of bed covers can be
saved by being fat.
Some people are never com
Portable unless they can make
everybody else uncomfortable.
You can make girl terribly
mad by asking her if you may
do what you ought 20 do with
out asking.
The more man likes girl
the more foolish he is to think
he always would if they were
married.
1t takes a man who got mar
ried and had ten children to
realize that be began his career
with very little sense.-New
York Press.

large parlors with heavy man
tells and brass framed mirrors
built in its walls and the heavi-
