OBSERVATIONS


Some girls are SO dainty that they
can even eat corn from the cob
without making you laugh.
SSS
People who never rode before are
now taking trips on the railroads.
It's so cheap, you know.
SSS
The woman who pads her figure
may fool some of the men, but the
rest of the women all know it.
A young man wants to know
whether he should marry a sensible
girl or beautiful one. When he
fails In love he won't stop to ask
foolish questions.
SSs
Have you noticed the substantial
advance in freight charges on small
packages2 This is the way rail
roads propose getting rates. The
business men will foot the bills.

Having painted the gasoline can
red, there is demand for more red
paint legislation. Why not paint
the pepper shaker red and save tenn
pers? Every man uses the salt first
when he wants pepper, and gets
mad.

The sunshine of life is made up of
very little beams that are bright all
the time. In the nursery, on the
plays round and in the school room
there is room all the time for little
acts of kindness that cost nothing
but are worth more than gold and
silver. To give up something when
giving up will prevent unhappiness
to yield7when persisting will chafe
and fret others: to go little way
around rather than come against
another; to take an i'll word or a
cross look rather than to resent it;
these are the ways in which clouds
and storm are kept off and a
pleasant, smiling sunshine secured
even in a humble home, among
very poor people as we'll as in
families in higher stations. Much
that we term the miseries of life
would be.avoided by adopting this
rule of conduct.
