Strange how wife's simple request

Hunger makes it hard to realize that
the rich have troubles
Mon remember you for the blows you
strike; women for your kind words.
Tho wisdom of high sounding words is
poor weapon with which to fight the
world.
He who is wise enough to prepare for
everything is denied the pleasure of
many surprises.
Looking at the world through the lit
tie end of the spy glass makes only long
range friends.
Crying need OF the hour--a school to
teach babies and some other people that
the night was made for sleep.
There is wonderful consolation for The
homely woman in the generally accepted
fact that beautiful women are brainlcss.
Strange how there's always one man
in community who thinks he is ap.
pointed to make his ncighbors behave
themselves.
Cold logic may be convincing, but it
doesn't fire the heart.
When woman thinks she is fancy
free, she is really only slave to her own

Many men go through life sounding
