Guessing II Wrong.

We live in hopes
That some bright lay
Wen make our schemes
Immensely pay
And gather fame
AS boys in glee
Get treasures from
The walnut tree.
To port e'er long
Our ship must sail
With treasure loaded
To the rail,
With stuff sufficient,
If you please,
To let us live
A life Of ease.
In politics,
Elusive game,
An office comes -.
To give US fame,
The compensation
with 1t SO
Immense we cannot
Spend the dough.
We live in hopes,
Though we'll aware
Fulfillment cometh
In hot air,
But still it's lots
Of sport to view
A future that
Will not come true.

1t makes a woman just as mad to
have her new hat act up and get un-
becoming as it does her husband to
have it cost real money.
Avoid entrance to quarrel. Many
there be who are crowding~to it, and it
is much more entertaining to sit on the
fence and see discounted contestants
and participators come flying back
through the door.
You never can tell by the dimension
of a woman's sleeve how big a thing
she may have up it.

That it is honest to pay ones debts;
also more comfortable when the money
can be spared.
That the water wagon is a safe,
sane and conservative place upon
which to perch and one from which a
man may with both pleasure and profit
preach and philosophize, but that as a
place for having a hilarious time it's
credentials are discredited.
That a bird and bottle at night
calls for dish of cold regret in the
morning.
That stitch at 8 p. m. saves a rip
roaring row at 80 6. IN.
That the keeping of a diary is a
most excellent practice. 1t cultivateS
observation and continuity and a me-
thodical habit 1t is also a matter that
provokes the hilarity of the fippant
minded when it is produced as evil
dence in court.
That patience is an estimable quality
to cultivate; ones friends will appre-
ciate the cultivation thereof and no
doubt draw the conclusion that ones
spirit is broken and proceed at once to
even up for many slight that one
never knew existed.
That kindness is likewise a virtue to
be cultivated. 1t should be extended
to all ones friends and acQuaintances,
especially to those who have in the
past been particularly active ir getting
in ones way. Friends will pAabably
shake mournful heads and murmur
among themselves, poor fellow, he is
not the man he once was!" But never
mind-be kind, be kind.

a married man is always surprised
to find that his wife hasn't any mon

she has invariably turned up penni-

A Christmas Card Cot.

The Royal Waterloo Hospital for
Children and Women, Waterloo road,
London. S. f., wishes to acknowledge
the kindness with which an appeal TO
the public last year for old Christmas
cards was met. This resulted in 30
900 being sold for f31 los. and cot
thereby being founded The authors
of the scheme feel confident that the
public will keep the cot endowed in
perpetuity They are therefore asked
TO send their old cards annually for
the hospital so that during the summer
months they may be got ready for sell
ing next Christmas The buyers OF
these cards are mainly poor people
who sell them again at a profit. but
the cards are offered TO the trade at
one farthing each, so that the charity
may be said to work automatically

The question whether men eat less
than women do or whether they buy
more economically is suggested to a
writer in Health Culture. by a com
parison of the grocery bills run up by
men students and bachelor girls who
have dubbed together for the purpose
of cutting down expenses.
In every case in which tables for
comparison are given the mems menu
for the week costs less than that Of
the women Both seem to have re-
duced the food allowance TO the low
est possible terms. but In footing up
the amount spent the women have
run into certain eKtrayagances avoid
ed by the men.
Maybe" says the puzzled inquirer,
women really don't know how to
shop after all, but the more likely
siipposition is that no matter how
strict the regimen the feminine nature
requires certain Injuries that mere
men can get along without"
