how impossible It is to remember

For eight long years the poet clan

warned in time 10 choose Il man who
doesn't rhyme? The witty shaft, the

ADVICE TO AN ENGAGED MAN.

II you think that a woman is
any weaker minded than a man,
stop where you are.
If you intend TO treat yourself
any better than your wife, don't
take one.
II you suppose that running the
house consists in paying the bills,
don't undertake it.
lfyou have an idea that you are
too good for a picked up dinner,
remain a bachelor.
If you have found 1t a hard task
to be happy yourself, don't try to
make any one else happy.
If you have chosen a pretty wo-
mah without regard to her other
qualities, halt; you are on the
wrong road.
II you think house should have
only one head, and that be yours,
postpone yourwcdding indefinitely.
If you arc Of the opinion that
marriage makes the man and wife
one, and that you are that one,
send in your regrets at once.
If you are one OF the men who
think that ten per cent of their in
come belongs to the tap-room, let
marriage alone

geld to NiXa, still has his surveying
corps located at Camp Cora where Il
crossing is being sought. This would
be the more costly part Of the proposed
road as u substantial bridge would
have to be built. The citizens of
Christian county are enthusiastic over
the proposed road and have declared
their willingness to help promote the
project, 1t will be several weeks be-
fore the final surveys are completed
when the matter will be taken up

Mr., Schriebcr believes that the Nixa

DR.. Quayle must have taken his OBJ
