suNFLowER PHILOSOPHY.

A woman does love the notion of a
secret sorrow and when she has one
she makes 1t public.
The Philistine: If you can neither
fly nor climb don't be discouraged;
perhaps you can kick.
The disadvantage of being In the
confidence of some one is he expects
you to take up his fuses.
Talk with any little man long enough
and he will remind you that Napoleon
was of small stature.
1t is human nature not to pay much
attention to a warning sign until one
runs into something more substantial,
1t is your enemies who keep you
straight For real use, one active,
sneering enemy is worth two ordinary
friends.
