TALES AND ENDS.
BY ALLEN PAYNE.
WRITTEN FOR THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.

Newly welded couples get old shoes thrown al
them but that does not account for either one Of
them putting their foot in it.
The Lord helps those who help themselves
Folks who are too indolent to make hay while
the sun shines should not expect to be led in
pastures green.
Because hard work made them, so don't be
ashamed of your bent shoulders. IT'S better to
be bent in the back than entirely broke in the
pocket.
Prosperity does take wings when some folks
imagine they see it fitting around the saloon
keepers sign.
Penitentiary birds are always under the inn
preston that there are other birds who not OF
the same stripe.
When man becomes night owl he will hear
more than the boots from his wife.
Men in peanut gallery will help out with
their voices chorus sung by the stage folks. In
church their mouths are as tight as steel lock
on cell door.
The value of diamonds depends entirely upon
the circumstances surrounding them. A few
pounos of cork in ship-wreek is often worth
more to person than all the diamond fields in
the world.
A rolling stone gathers no moss because the
devil likes to catch the old bricks as they come
crushing on the down grade.
Faith pinned with the safety variety frequently
holds no better than one of the common straight
sort.
Man gets matrimonial inclined. That accounts
for some marriages not being straight.
Temptations lie in mans path and then after
he accepts them lies to get out of it.
When girl gets mashed on loafer we usually
find him the idle of her heart.
Love that takes wings never reaches a lofty
height.
The sap in dudes brain is CONCEALED to such
an extent that you couldn't strain it through a
wire mesh an inch square,
Home made compilations are after all artificial.
Men have married peaches that never become
mellow with age
That dumb mans words fall on deaf ears goes
without saying.
Take time by the foFelock. The trouble is
that with so many there is too much rubbering
around its hind quarters.
Women who keep eternally hammering and
pounding away at man often wonder what
drove him to drink.
In making up their minds so many folks make
use of the wrong mould
You can't always tell blind man by his looks.
In pounding on the door of success don't be
afraid of hurting your fists.
A married man who thinks he is abused most
always married the girl to spite some one else.
Spending loose change frequently keeps man
tight.
There is one trait in mans character that
many have paid dear to know and that was that
he is easy.
The more pointers you receive in this world the
more apt you become in lodging the blunts.
Lite is short at its best. That's where the
worst comes in for some folks
The weight of the covers will not make the bed
spread.
The giraffe is quiet beast until he used his
voice in an up roar
Men who are wrapped up in themselves have
stood before the bar of saloon while parcel OF
friends done them up nicely and sent them home
with their legs tied in bow knot. Such men
are not long in reaching the end of the string.
Man is as worm. That accounts for Adam
finding the rascal in the apple.
Many a man who CANDLES doesn't care who
knows it, still he disikes very much to be found
.tort
