Contentment with ones present
is better than being dissatisfied,
for We live today knowing not
what tomorrow may bring.
The world may not be suitable
to your ideas but it is large enough
to enable YOU 20 avoid those who
entertain ideas which you csnnot
tolerate.
A newspaper publishing girls
photo often states that she is a
slender young beauty, ETC., when
the said photo reminds on of
Mother Hubbard-but the object
is we'll understood.
A Missourian, whose arrest for
bigamy lately was caused by one
OF his four wives, states that his
memory was SO bad that he could
never remember being married.
About seven years of hard labor
may restore his memory to such
degree that he will think twice
ere leaping.
A man in Chicago, who owns
several dogs, is accused by his
better half, of spending $1.75 on
his dogs to every Is cents on her.
And states he loves them better
than he does her. In such cases
a woman should return to the par
entail roof. It's bad enough to be
jealous of another woman, but to
feel so toward kennel of dogs.
"a thing of beauty is JOY for
ever" said poet. There is moth
ing more beautiful than sunny
disposition, so TO speak. The pos
SCISSOR of such disposition need
not envy the rich for he has what
money cannot buy nor can he be
deprived of the precious heritage.
He learns that life is replete with
trials and SORROWS and that his
cheerful disposition is safeguard
against descending into the pits
of hopelessness and despair. If
he is assailed by another, justly or
unjustIy, he either replies with
smile or remains silent until the
vitrolic storm subsidies and then
realizes that opposing another but
adds fuel to the word battle. I

trates the above. A saw fit to in

When A ceased speaking B looked
