Reflections Of a Bachelor Maid

A mans idea of a "chaste kiss" is one
chat he has chased IL girl long time to
get.
The average woman goes into matri-
lnony by the drawing room door--and
climbs out of the kitchen window.
Victory" is always represented as a
woman in song and story and statuary
but it takes married man to ap-
preciate why.
yAf you believe that moonlight is not a
reliable test of love, try sitting in the
moonlight for half an hour with the
wrong man.
After girl has spent six months of
hard labor bringing man to the point,
st is naturally an effort for her to greet
his proposal with that look of glad sur.
prise which he always expects.
According to the divorce records, the
motto for success in matrimony, as in
everything else, seems to be, IF at first
you don't succeed, try, try again!
A woman prays for grace, but man
is perfectly satisfied if he can lust
manage to keep out of disgrace.

there build their homes; and one of

reached it. 1t is about 200 yards south
of their village in western New Mex

crude shrine, built like bake oven,

FARMER Is NOT EASY CARRIE

Able editors are constantly warming

the truth is that the farmer is not Of
ten victimizsd by travelling sharpers
nowadays; when he does get the worst
end of some deal. the amount involved
is something trifling, us q rule, and
when he has been bitten once he profits
by the experience, and is not easily

In order to find the old original Easy

where the people all fatter themselves

You won't find much of it in the farm

clerks and other employees of business
houses, whose wisdom teeth are in good
shape, and who know a short road to
wealth when they see it,
Singular as it may seem, bankers are
the chief dupes. Bankers are supposed
to have their mouths filed with wisdom

that he may safely embark in an enter

that they will put up their good money
to back strange foot racers or pugilists
or race-horses.
The newspapers which are constantly
warming the farmers against oil-tongued

and give the bankers some fatherly adj

should maintain their reputation for
