Reflections of a Bachelor.

A woman has an awful good time
crying because she isn't having
one.
A man is awful unlucky to mar
ry woman with brains enough tc
know he hasn't any.
It's no use to deny that dinple
tastes the sweetest of all.
It's queer what awful small hats
fit people with swelied heads.
1t makes man pretty cross to
have his wife act as if he had a
good temper.
1t has been observed that the
homelier a girl is the less use she
has for chaperone.
The man behind the gun is all
right-if he doesn't invite you to
hold up your hands.
One never knows how foolish
some men can act until they sud
denly break out III the father class.
When woman talks nothing
but small talk she is almost as bad
as the man who always talks big.
When a man pays his pew rent
regularly it does seem as if the
preacher ought to be grateful
enough to make the sermons
shorter.
The louder a man hollers about
not being willing to work for
anybody but himself the smaller
the salary he could earn.

indication of what is to follow, Dead

From a musical standpoint as well as

entire success. Good colored singers
seldom fail to give a good perform

voices, as perhaps no other class Of
singers can, makes them sought after.
The Sterling Singers, with their
sweet southern melodies, their comi-

and principally the acting OF their
leader, Mr.. Dixon, ranks them as one
of the best aggregatlons in the vest
