PHILOSOPHY

Vacations are like marriage. Antici-
patton often beats the realization.
In speaking of man the woman
who is related TO him usually makes
this comment: He has to have some
thing TO growl about"
A little man with a big wife looks
meeker and more crushed than usual
when his big fat wife walks beside him
wearing elbow sleeves and long gloves
We have known great many wo-
men. and have heard hundreds of them
tell their love affairs, but never yet
knew one who received a proposal of
marriage in a conservatory.
A man and woman marry and build
home away from the town where
they will be All Alone. In few
months the discovery is made that II is
too far out to keep a girl and they
move TO town.
Half the American people are busily
ngaged just now in declaring that the
other half are thieves. And how much
has been accomplished. beyond the row,
and furnishing the newspapers with a
lot of news? AIN railroad rates any
cheaper? Are life insurance dividends
any greater? AS soon as the row is
over will we not slip back into the old
place? Indeed, are we not there now?
We don't suppose the public gen.
orally shares our views, but the mother
and father, sitting in the audience who
have kept their daughter in school in
spite of her kicking and screaming,
and bought all the white stuff she has
on, though depriving themselves in do
ing it, are great deal more heroic
and interesting than the Young Thing
on the stage who thinks she knows
all about Life, and who doesn't know
any more about it than a mouse that
has lived all it's life in a fruit cake

CANAL-Subscriber City. The long

LINSEED OTL-M., City. To make
linseed oil the manufacturers first
bruise or crush the seed of lint or

The law making it necessary fer an

being transported TO other States, in
some cases far from home, friends
and business interests, to be tried
among strangers, without good evil

tude has been committed.

"Once upon time there lived a good
man of New York who was soliciting
contributions for the erection of an or
phan asylum" said the story teller in
Harper's Weekly. He had been to
many rich people and received liberal
contributions, which were entered in a
book he had for that purpose Among
these many names there appeared
Mrs. Russell Sage. S25.' The good man
went to Mr.. Sage's office. and showing
him the contribution entered in the
book by Mrs Sage. asked if he would
not give like sum. And what do
you suppose he did2'
