HOW IT WORKS.

The student who writes for the Nor
catur paper sat still. He gazed stead
lastly at the fair maiden across the
room, and then of sudden as if filed
with a poetical inspiration he took his
pencil and wrote.
Little grains of powder,
Little drops of paint;
Make some girls complexion,
Look like what it amt.
But a little smile from that grille,
Or a squeeze from her little hand;
viii make that boy act silly,
And blush to beat the band.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.J
It is a good deal easier to tell a lie
than to make people believe it.
When there is nothing else left to
try, a man can always try resignation.
It is queer how sensitive 1t makes a
man to get caught with the goods on
him
The meanest thing girl can do to
a man is to have a dimple on her
cheek when he is kissing her on her

Bad men could hardly ever do any
of the things they do that are real bad
if they were not shown how by some
lawyer who is considered to be a good
citizen.
