II WOES OF MAN

Mar comes into the world without
his consent aud leaves it against his
will.
During his stay on earth his time is
spent In one continuous round Of con.
traries and misunderst indings. In his
infancy he Is an angel; in his boyhood
he is a devil; Ia his manhood he is
everything from a lizard up; in his
duties he is n fool. II he has no fam
lily he IL committing nee suicide; il
he raises n family he il a chump; II
he raises a check he IL a thief; and
then the law raises Cain with han; IL
he is a poor man be il n poor manager
aud has no sense. II he Is rich he Is
dishonest, but considered smart; IL he
j. in politics he Is a CRATER and a crook;
IL he is out Of politics you cant place
him, as he Is an undesirable citizen;
IL he goes 10 church he j. a hyprocrite;
IL he stays away from church he is
u sinner; IL he donates to foreign mis-.
sions he does II for show; IL he dosen Z
he is stingy and a eight wad," when
he comes into the world every body
wants to kiss him-before he goes out
they want to kick him. II he dies
young there wa a great future before
him; IL he lives to a ripe old age, he is
in the way, only living to save funeral
expenses. Life is a funny proposition
after all.--Ex.
