Men are often Queer

Men are like chickens; they al.
ways want to get on the highest
roost.
Some men are go exceedingly
modest that they shun the naked
truth.
A man will smile when you
speak of his level head, but call il
fiat and he gets mad.
The man who attends to his own
business has steady job.
Ifit is true that clothes make
the man, some men ought to
change their clothes.
Nature has wisely arranged it SO
that man can neither pat his own
back or kick his self
The man with a nice silk hand
kerchief is the one who is most
afraid of sore throat.
When a man divides his proper

If Darwin founded his theory on
evolution on the monkey-shines
man is continually cutting. he
didn't miss it much.
A mans curiosity never reaches
the feminine standpoint until
some one tells him that his name

When man gets about SO old,
he can reoolleot great many moi
dents that never happened at all.

taken about 8 O'Clock from in front

No. 4. Is one of the immortals
as he cashed in his checks some
time since and dropped out OF
lifes game 1t is only with great
reluctance that we mention his
name at all on this account, but
we want to be totally impartial
and take them all as they come
on our list. We refer to Henry
Clay worthington commonly
called Harry" He was one oil
the boys and a hail fellow well
met, but afflicted with a bad
memory about his personal obi
cations. He went west to grow
up with the country and was
planted all right, and we hope is
in full bloom on the other shore
but if he didn't make any better
sttlement with st. Peter than he

Life is full of checks, and
many of them are forgeries.
The pawnbroker who takes
the most interest in his business,
has the least principle.
Some men are SO stingy that
they will squeeze dollar till the
eagle gets sick at the stomach.
Contentment may be better
than money, but most of US are
willing to take chances with the
money.
Enjoyment is the sweet salts
faction of knowing that your in
come is more than you can posi-
bly, spend.
Time may be money, but some
how your friends appreciate the
money you spend with them
more than the time.
A fortune awaits the genius
who will perfect a system that
will enable man to dodge street
cars and creditors.

purpose of which is the restriction
of ill-advised marriages. Except
in the case of the innocent party to
a divorce suit brought on the
