1t is useless for a man to dream of
q political career when he is too
proud to beg and too honest to steal.
The Cairo bulletin., 1909-07-03

We frequently smoke the cigars a
man offers us when we wouldn't ac-
cept his advice
There may he germs in kisses, hut
about the only thing girl could catch
in that way is a husband.
When man wants to commune
with the spirits. he can go TO either a
clairyoyant or a bartender.
The man who is always looking for
a bet seems to overlook the elevator
boy, who win always take him up.
Chance shapes our destinies, which
may account for the fact that SO many
OF us have such mighty poor shapes.
1t is useless for a man to dream of
political career when he is too
proud to beg and too honest to steal.
Don't trust too much to appearances.
The bleached blonde may have light
head and at the same time a heavy
heart
An overturned man Is a good bit
like an overturned dog. Sometimes
the best hunting dog won't work for
a scent
The fellow who boasts that he never
takes water should be careful not to
find himself between the devil aud the
deep sea

has once killed or injured a mata-

dangerous trade, and since 1t 10 mani
testify impossible to prescribe ruies
OF etiquette for a bull while be ID
being slaughtered. 1t Is evident that
the noble sport" has reached the
beginning OF the end.
Anyway. II we are to believe a
writer who describes the sport IN q
Paris magazine. bullahting Is nov
what II WAS In the good old days
The profession Of sticking rapiers
into Wild bulls is sadly degenerat-
