DYSPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY.

Optimism is merely whltewash for
the blues.
Money talks. but poverty goes with
out saying.
Many are called, but few are chos.
Ell to win the jackpot.
No man is so selfish as to keep all
his popularity to himself.
Some pictures and some men are
not worth rope to hang them.
The average man would rather be
cheerful idiot than a gloomy sage.
The blindest man in the world is
he who doesn't believe anything he
can't see.
Some people are so careful not to
break anything that they never even
crack smile.
The man who relies on his pull to
get him into heaven had better begin
to practice shoveling coal.

The average girl thinks she could
