eEEIEcTIoNs OF A BACHELOR,

Content is a small part satisfaction and
a large part resignation.
1t Is better to be a servant of someone
else than be a slave OF yourself.
There is a lot of satisfaction In being
dissatisfied with what people expect to
satisfy you.
Good manners in man makes you
feel he doesn't treat you so bad as ne
might even II he robs you.
There is so much charity to do that
II people did It somebody would have
to do il for them. II would make them
so poor.

there until the last great hugle call. It
was the first time that an assassin tried

sensation.
His trip to tie orient was made fifteen
years ago, but even then the titanic con-

Japan instinetively knew that sooner or
later she would have to fight Russia,
Even the common people felt it, So when
the Czarewiteh fnow GAR visited the
island empire. accompanied by courtly
retinue and powerful squadron, there
was much excitement and not little con-

1t was only visit of pleasure and cour-

eeedngly polite, as they always are. but
the politicians watched their ps and as

Czarewitch dogded and TIE fiat side of
the sword struck him on the side of the
head above the ear.
Some stories of the affair give Prince
George the credit for saving his imperial
cousins life, but the most circumstantal
account declares the prince was too badly
