SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

Some people mover have anything

Poor and rich people have very funny
| notions of each other
A mans liver is the ugliest part of

A woman who has buried one hus-
band, separated from a second and
! lives unhappily with a third doesn't
usually think very well of the men.
In the fullest Interpretation of the
term, a society woman" is a woman
with nothing TO do, and who wouldn't

goodness 1t is usually in connection
with something he has done for her
kin.
The greatest joke in the world is
perpetrated on any man who steals a
girls pocketbook. The penitentiary is
so large, and the contents of her purse
so small.
When a woman travels as far as ten
miles on railroad train she has a
way of impressing those who got on
the train after she got on with the
fact that she started in New York two
days ago, and is on her way to Ma.
Mia.
1t is getting to be harder all the
time to be an ideal man to a child. A |
few years ago a child smiled down tC
the tips of its toes upon receiving a |
nickel, but these days It regards a,
dollar as nearer its size.
