PENGUINS FEEDING.

They Enter the Water.
The appearance OF the keeper of the

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Too much publicity spoils n good
deed.
Signing your name TO n friends note
is bad sign.
When riches come in at the window
friends flock TO the door.
He who has no faith in himself is
destined to become n successful fail
ure.
The brave and fearless man manages
to get there early and thus avoids the
rush.
y wise man doesn't attempt to Dull
himself out of trouble with a cork
screw.
If man is unable to stand pros

wife chance.
The suspicious man keeps one eve on
his neighbor, but the wise man keeps

Unless n man is willing to take
chances he never takes anything else
