financial way, but Birmingham is getting

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
A woman can be happy if there seems
to a man to be no sense in 1t.
You can tell a man who owns an auto
mobile by the way he is never able to
pay the housekeeping bills.
The more reasons a woman could have
for loving a man the more she could
love some other man without any.
When a man wears a pink shirt and red
tie it's sign his wife is away visiting
her mother.
A useful thing about a woman being
thin is there's plenty of room for pocket
books where lots of them carry their
money.

the legislature to appropriate 100000 to
the rural schools.

And a song is on his lips
And the very joy of living
Tingles in his finger tips;
When the world is smiling at him
And he's winning in the fight,
That's the time a fellow chuckles
That he's feeling out of sight.
When he knows he's not forgotten
And a friend or two remain,
And he has a little money
Laid away in case of rain;
When his eye is clear and steady
And he has an appetite,
That's the time fellow chuckles
That he's feeling 'out of sight
When he just forgets to worry,
All his troubles disappear
And he has a firm conviction
That a better time is near;
When the weather's fine and dandy
And the sun is shining bright,
That's the time a fellow chuckles
That he's feeling out of sight
When somebody says, You're coming
