Diverse Reflections
J BY eR,o :

The habit Of faultfinding and
others is the result Of
ignorance.
Thin, lean and homely persons
have their troubles-but fat per-
sons are never poor.
There is no trait SO disgusting,
contemplate and yet SO pitiably
sad as habitual nagging or fault
finding.
5 Frequence of granting divorces
is bar sinister to the idea that
matrimony tends toward oneness
of the united couple.
1t is the mind-the process of
mentally. viewing the various as
poets of life-that makes or mars
the pleasure of living.
The beautiful forms and lovely
faces, though partly of artificial
Designs: provide feasts for the
optics of rubbering gents
The persons who smile when
you meet them may be of more
serious nature than those constant
ly preaching: "Life is a serious
matter"
The author of Arabian Nights
possessed remarkable Imagination
but compared With some of our
local residents-such an imagina-
tion is insignificant.
"The Mirror man is far sighted
and gets things right" remarked
Davy. "How so?" he was asked.
swell, cause he-he always puts
my euphonious name IN black.
That's appropriate and consequent

President Taft, so reports in
forms us, is making a tonr of
America. The daily duties in the
White House must be slight CON-
pared with a Presidents daily
program when on a presumed
pleasure trip such as the tour
mentioned.
What great lights cast upon
subjects of worldwide interest, what
magnificent thoughts have been
squelched, what grand, illuminat-
ing rays of intellectual deductions,
what worldly boons have been de-
MED the human race-because of
the editorial blue pencil!
Reports of newspapers indicate
that feminine headgear will soon
be of the airship variety. The
bachelor may smile while his
benedict brother explains to his
wife: "No! By the great horn
spoon I bought masterband cre-
alton last spring and now an air.

It is certainly one thing to
preach, another to practice. what
you preach. Sermonizers would
say, "begood." The wise, "be care
full" We have great examples of
fallen persons, few of the good.
To begin, Angels set the example
for badness and were expelled from
Heaven. Since then it has con-
tinued to be good, bad, some good
within bad persons; some bad in
the best. AS the poets say: "All
paths lead but to the grave" and
when inclined to preach, sermonize
to yourself.
The Dartmouth college case has
lately been brought, editorially,
before the public. Conclusions of
various writer's show that this,
one of the greatest cases in Ameri-
can jurisprudence was of parti-
san nature and the decision rem

which deride the idea of having

oiple. However, this case, like
thousands of others, is evil
