WISE WORDS.

A man never fights so hard for a
principle as he does for results.
Occasionally you find a grown man
who seems to eat almost as much as
a small boy.
The things that make a man dis
contented are not what he has, but
what he wants.
1t is quite natural that fellow will
never have a show unless he has the
price of admission.
Some men are so rich that they
even seem to think they can pay their
respects in dollars.
The man who is easily worked is
always overworked.
He who swallows his pride should
be sure his digestion is all right.
Fine feathers may not make fine
birds, but mans clothes may make
him look like a jay.
There are lots of good points about
many a man we wouldn't suspect II
he didn't tell us about them.
That women have little sense OF
humor may be due to the fact that
they don't want to laugh and grow
fat.
When a woman's face is her for
tune she shouldn't have much trouble
in getting through life on her cheek.
The good don't all die young II
we are to believe the tombstones.
When fellow tells a girl she is
a dream, it is cruel to her to wake
him up.
Even the man who borrows trouble
is apt to kick If he gets more than he
bargained for.
The man who suffers from dyspep-
sia has little patience with a woman
who merely has a broken heart.
Some people take a melancholy
satisfaction in always being prepared
for the worst.
It always worries an absent-minded
man to think he can't remember what
1t was he was going to worry about,

began softly. 1T Is only the knowA-

she cried. you are going to leaye
me and the dear old home and make
a home somewhere else?"
1T had to come some time" he
argued, defensiyely. you see, Beth's
aunt will have to go back West
shortly and that will leave the poor
child without any protection"
you can't expect me to remain
a bachelor all my life," he added,
with a trace of Irritation. II think
we have all been very patient with
your whims, Stella. Kiss me like a
good sister and wish me Joy"
II hope you will be very happy"
said Stella DULY, but she did not OFFER
to kiss him and she slowly left the
room.
Bert watched her go with the sense
Of helpless irritation a man feels
when he has unwittingly hurt a wo-
man and knows that really he is not
to blame. He made no effort to stop
her, and Stella slipped of to her
own room to fight out her battle
alone.
But here a fresh shock awaited
her, for as she curled up in the WIN
dow seat she glanced across the
street and was Mortified to see two
heavy trucks piled high with ropes
and tackle stop before the house
across the way. Gilt lettering pro-
claimed them the property Of the
Metropolitan House Wrecking Com
pany, but Stella did not need the
signs to tell her their purpose.
Stella hurried down the stairs and
burst into the library.
Bert" she cried, there are the
house wreckers in front of the old
Balm place. We must send Robert
over to tell them that they are maxi
ing a mistake"
There is no mistake" said Bert
gently. There was a decision in the
Court of Appeals last month. Frank
and l did not tell you because we did
not want you to worry about It until
you had to. They are going to put
up a row of fat houses"
For a moment Stella was stunned
by the announcement, then she went
over to her brothers chair.
Lets ask Beth out to dinner to-
night" she said as she kissed him.
"We'll plan for a double wedding,
dear"
Bert reached up and drew her
down to the comfort and protection
of his strong arms.
I'm glad you're going to give in !
and marry Frank, even If he does !
insist upon running away from the /
house wreckers," he whispered.
But it's the first time I ever saw
the house wreckers act as Cupids. -
