| A man who refuses to buy his wife a new dress
| can hardly expect her mouth to clothes.
When it comes to man
Life is as you make it,
$50 as you make your bed,
| There in you must lie''-
But when it comes TO woman,
She regulates both lives,
By the way she makes the bread,
The farjacks, sinkers and the pies.
A fretful woman seldom makes man regretful.
Women who do not mind their own business
seldom attend to that of their babies
The cup thaticheers.

Empty graves and the biers.

as an axe has axe to grind. You can tell it
by the hicks.
There are folks who are even too stingy to
forgive.
When man carries his brains in his heels,
How toot-sore and weary, then he feels.
IT'S said man is only disk. That's so. He has
more disk likes than likes
There is poor chance for the back slider of
ever slipping out of hell by the back gate.
Naked we come into the world, with all our
crosses to bear
An old maid possibly never finds her lucky star
till she goes on her honeymoon.
Man falls in love and then endeavors to win
out.
Life is as you make it. The wish bone or the
horse shoe above the door have nothing to do
with it.
The devil has smiled at more than one tomb
stone
When man has that brown taste in his mouth
and red nose he begins to grow true to his
colors.
A cross baby is only cross for the parents to
bear.

even let little sun shine in through the cracks
of the soul.

life.

pretty rough.

Even when man obtains that for which he
desired, he is never satisfied and like the kid, he
wants another slice OF the cake.
A man may be giant in the eyes of the people
but it doesn't bother II mosquito in the least.
A tramp is more willing to work the good
samaritan than he is the tramp
One lump of sugar will not sweeten lemon
no more than taffy will an old maid.
If man expects woman to be his stand by he |
must be willing to lay down his life tor her.
One who leads a checkered life does things on |
the square.
The man who is eternally thinking of pepper
ing some one is usually not worth his salt.
The one who leads useful lite is the one who
dies without regret
Instead of pushing forward some men when
they are in the matrimonial harness, back so
hard as to burst the crupper.
Money is a bait that the devil used in the
setting OF many of his traps.
Many wind bag expects his CAB to take with

some OF them being hard nuts to crack.
