\A (hdH.D NIlODt.J
There is one thing about red hair:
The people who have it seem to have
lots.
Whether he's right or wrong, a row
with Il woman will ruin man. Rath-
er than submit to it, run away.
No man who has ever attempted to
prevent woman from having her own
way has much to say about weaker
SEX
Every woman who moves claims
that she cleaned the house she left, and
then had to clean the house she moved
into.
So many people impose on others and
think: They'll never notice it." But
they will notice it, and. what is more,
exaggerate it.
After man has been married awhile
he does hate to walk down street with
his wife hanging on his arm.
A man cannot think to observe the
regular rules of health. but he can
usually think to take his patent med
icine regularly.
If you believe in prayer, don't pray
to be delivered from your enemies.
Pray that you may never hear what
your friends say about you behind your
back

Temperance for Business Purposes

The United States Steel Corpora
ton, the last corporation in existence
to take up the temperance movement
for purely sentimental reasons, has de-
creed the closing of the breweries in
Fayette county, Pa. in the district
where their coke is manufactured.
They do not intend to deprive the
county of beer, but do intend to regu
late the amount of beer and the time
when the workmen shall consume it
In order to bring this about the cor
poration is taking steps to acquire the
control of the nine breweries in the
county.
1t will be very interesting to note
the result of this scheme, as it is based
purely on the proposition that beer
and business will not mix. If it is
successful the United States Steel
Corporation will reduce the num-
Der of days of idleness now direct
ly traceable TO an over indulgence in

The corporation finds that the hab-

1t is worthy of note also that % per

country are committed within 48 hours
after the workers procure the money
with which to buy this liquor. 1t may
seem strange TO buy brewery TO pro-

proposes to do. 1t is safe to predict
however, that some of the breweries
will cease to do business and that the
rest will operate under "a greatly re-
