The Woes of a Man.

A mans life is full of CROSSES and
temptations.
He comes into this world with
out his consent, and goes out
against his will, and the trip be-
tween the two is exceedingly rocky
The rule of oontraries is one of the
important features of the trip.
When he is little the big girl
kiss him. but when he is grown thu
little girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is a bad mana
ger, if he is rich he is dishonest.
If he needs credit he can't get it
If he prosperous everyone wants
to do him favor.
Ii he's in pclitios it's for pie, il
he's out of politics you can't plao'
him, and he's no good for his ooun
try.
If he doesn't give to charity b,
is stingy ouss, if he does it is TO
show.
If he is actively religious he is
hypocrite, if he takes no interest il
religion he is hardened sinner.
If he shows Affection he is sof
specimen, if he seems TO care TO
no one he ia cold blooded.
If he dies young there was
great future ahead of him, if h,
lives to an old age he has missed
his calling.
The road is rocky. but man love
to travel it.
