PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS.

The fatted calf never loves tho
prodigal son.
Truth never runs around asking
people to believe 1t.
Alas. that fools are prosperous. Is
II their penalty or reward?
How many Of us in listening to the
tomtoms forget the violins?
To think an original thought is to
take a step nearer the divine.
People who need to be continually
propped up are not worth the prop.
When men become suddenly good
they should be executed Immediately.
1t is easier for some people to be-
lieve the impossible than the pos
sible.
Before II was thrown down, the
Golden Calf had son, and 1t Is still
mooing around the world.
1t is selfevident that to success
fully fathom the motives OF men one
must be a man himself. To an idiot
to lunatic-all men are either
idiots or lunatics.

The boom in real estate at Flushing,
L. l., has landed part Of valuable con-
tract in Mrs. ]. s. Eardley's midst ana

her and Thomas Pritchard, of Booraem

Mrs. Eardley, who lives in Brooklyn,
sold six lots in Flushing to Mr.. Pritch-
ard. Mr.. Pritchard paid deposit, and
Mrs. Eardley signed a contract agree
Ing to surrender the lots to him for a
certain price. Prices of Flushing prop

30 per cent. in one day. Mrs. Eardley
heard of this, and her soul was sad.
She called at Mr.. Pritchards Office.

briskly.
Madame, you can't" he replied with
utmost suavity.

Mr.. Pritchard handed her the pre-

eye she had bitten a big piece out of
It. Mr.. Pritchard grabbed her throat,
Then came fierce struggle between

throat muscles won. for Mrs. Eardley
swallowed a large chunk Of the con-
tract and smiled in bitter triumph al
her foe.

REST THAT RESTS

Rest means rest.
"Cut out" worrying.
Rest with capital II.
Few persons know how TO rest.
Rushing for trains and boats isn't

Being ebowed by n vulgar mob isn't
resting.
Neither Is staying home and being
annoyed by endless details.

little stir later In the evening as a few hundred
of Washingtohs citizens go to the wharyes and
