It always seems by some strange
~perversion of nature that the things
that we don't want are mostly the kind
that we are habitually getting.
As long as there Is a bit Of mex
plored territory on the face of the earth
fairyland is not entirely an impossi-
bility.
If some Of us did not feel great pride
In VI imperfections we would have
small chance Of yer feeling proud.
Give a man rope enough and he will
hang himself, but give him plenty Of
water and he will seldom jump in.
A scolding woman is certainly very
trying, but it often happens that she
scolds because she has a husband who
isn't.
The reason why some Of US wear
such a haggard and heartbroken look
Is because we are striving SO hard tt
do what the rising generation expects
Of us.
The attitude Of the rising generation
seems to be that if the earth was no
made for them it would better be made
over at once.
