DID YOU EVER WONDER

Why baby carriage isn't known as
a crycycle?
Why it is so much easier to be wrong
than it is to be president?
Why some people manage to talk a
great deal without saying anything?
Why so many Of our coming men
seem to be handicapped from the start !
Why the company that issues the
map has the only curveless railroad
thereon?
Why the average man invariably
makes a fool of himself every time he
tries to act up?
Why men are nearly always embar-
rassed when they propose either fnan-
cially or otherwise?
Why so many men who are anxious
to work when sick are just as anxious
to avoid it when we'll?
Why some men are not as black as
they are painted and some are not as
white as. they are whitewashed? Gin

Less spent on the dead and more
spent on the living would bring about
many happy results. Hearts are break

because of the Withholding of kind
words unspoken and letters never sent.
The aged father and mother fur off in

the son or daughter more frequently
send them letter. Behold the sad
mistakes of others, their remorse. and
