Well here / am, q leetle the SlickeSt
critter you ever did see. 1 Travelled in all
parts OF this universal globe. and / must
say it is wonderful to obsarve the Opera
tuns of natur on big scale; and there's
the women, too, the dear little critters; it's
miraculous to see how. nicely they are
dovetailed together. ! don't know how 1t
is they are always fallin' in love with me;
they are always on the giggle when l

was a leetle contrary. Well, they is leetle
so; but IL you manage right-haul in here
and let 'em out there-you can drive EN-

way you want 'em to go. When lived

A LITTLE PHILOSOPHY.

1t is curious to note that 1t is the empty
purse that is always open.
After we have tried all the fads and isms
and things We turn to philosophy. The
study Of truth gives much enjoyment and sat
isfaction.
1t often happens that those who sing In
church I'VE shall know each other there"
don't recognize each other here.
Honesty is the best policy, but there are
many people in the world who don't get the
best.
Nature does her part She plants good
seeds In the breast of every man, but we
often let the weeds choke out the good
plants
The more one goes the round Of pleasure
the more difficult II is to get square.
The clock that keeps the best time Is not
the one that strikes the loudest.
We should beware of the man who always
wears a smile as much as of man who
always wears frOwn.
For every person that Is worn out there is
a hundred that have rusted out.
When man offers you something for
nothing turn down the proposition.
Don't work good thing too hard: Don't
keep cutting the wool of the sheep that lays
the golden egg until you pump 1t dry.
