bedbugs' bites to her.
Do people run from you? There
are men and women in this town that
people always avoid, they are so full
of unreasonable whines, complaints
and criticisms. Look yourself over;
do people run from you?
People are always guessing, and
guessing wrong. Why can't they cop
per their guesses, and be right occa-

always comes. For a time, people are
charitable with a drinking man, but
ruin always comes. People dislike a
drinking man, and will not do busi-

part of it is that SO many men will
continue drinking when they know

The greatest luxury in the world is
good friend. And it is a luxury any
one may enjoy. Good friends must
