An Englishman, Frenchman and
an Irishman were discussing the merits
of their respective countries. The
Englishman said that If his lot had not
been cast with England he would pre-
fer to have been q Frenchman: the
Frenchman feeling somewhat fatter-
ed, said: If were not a Frenchman I
would rather be an Englishman,'
whereupon tney asked the Irishman
what he would be. Says Pat: IF !
were not an Irishman / would be
ashamed Which is the way we
should all look at our being Mississip-
plans.
A bill collector says she cannot help
but wonder what some people do with
their money. She says she knows of
two families whose homes adjoin.
The men work for the same concern
get the same wages and the families
are about the same size. Both men
have good habits. In one family the
the house is prettily furnished and the
money is always ready for the month
ly bills. In the other household the
house is poorly furnished and the bill
collector is put off from one month to
another. It is not capital that counts;
it's managing"
The naples are flecked here and
there with gold where the autumn
sunlight gIeams; there are silver
threads in the meadows old where
fow the purling streams; there are
ruby glints in the Western sky, when
iS told by the clocks, and quarries
ledges far and nigh are there with the
solid rocks.' There are topaz tints on
the fading hills, and night is sap
phire rim. The birds carry bills in
their flight from the climate grim.
Why, the weeds, condemned as . sort
Of guilt, are in fact, the long, long
green.' Wealth, pure and spotless,
on every hand is strewn by nature
rash, but We have to keep humping to
best the band to corral the tainted
cash.
