POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

A compliment is always exaggerated
The trouble with the marriage list Is
that it has to be revised so often.
About the only consolation found in
growing old is that there Is always one
who Is older.
These people with great deal of as
surance are quite often right, much as
we dislike them
Hatred of the rich is not modern.
Remember the Bible story about Dives
and Lazarus and how the rich man
was punished?
Every man must be his own doctor
and decide what is best in his case.
The doctors and philosophers do not
agree on anything.
A hen never tries to spread her
wings over her grown rooster size son
to protect him, but you will see moth
ers who haven't as much sense as the
