Religion Is not something TO get

It is better to have begun and quit

The lazy mans idea OF brains is
THAT they are a defense against work.
Do not fight the devil with fire.
Get him into the parlor and freeze

As a general thing, the pubic
never recognizes a genius until he
begins to make money.

One of the hardest things in this
world for an heiress to do is to lose

A husband is a person who is will

The kind of people who think they
are too old to learn never acquired

A few nights ago sat with party

principally by making shrewd invest
ments and as result of advanced in
formation respecting Wall Street OPP
erations.
The topic, entirely by chance, was
the extravaganza of the present age,
and the consensus Of the opinion eX-
pressed and assented to by all was to
the effect that National, State and
municipal governments rush into en-
gagements involving in execution vast
sums of money raised and TO be raised
through the only available source,
taxation of the people, and many
times larger than the known wealth

durance Of the peoples prosperity
warrants. The people, inherently
committed to woeful waste and prodi-
gality according to their means in
personal expenditures, are blind to
proper realization Of the meaning OF
these stupendous budgets. They are
too much absorbed in their own pur-
suits to give attention, even could
many Of them do so understandingly'
