BRAIN LEAKS.

A cheap man always delivers a
similar line of goods.
The man who says he never
makes mistakes is making a
mighty big one.
1t costs a lot to be. a good
fellow" " but it costs nothing to
be a good man.
This is the season Of the year
when everybody is advised to
'do your Christmas shopping
early" and nobody does it.
So far we have managed to re-
sist the temptation to purchase
one of those fuzzy hats - but we
can feel ourselves slipping.
Nothing tickles more than the
the sight of a man with false
teeth who thinks that he is con-
cealing the fact that he wears
'em.
We never see a young man
with a beautifully curled NOUS
.tache but what we wonder a bit
how much. time he wasted on it.
The man or woman who knows
how to grow old gracefully has
acquired about all the knowledge
necessary to make life worth liv-
ing.
If we had made the world we
would. have left out lot of the
troublesome things, and quite
likely overlooked making most of
the good things.
We are waiting for some house
hold economic sharp to tell us
how to keep the baby from kick
ing all the bedclothes off in the
middle of the night.
We are mighty happy to relate
that the Little Woman has never

WHEN BOAT CAPSIZES

TAMPA, Fla. April 22.-The Owl. a
launch doing ferry duty across the Hills
borough river at Lafayette street, cap
tized last night at o'clock precipitat-
ing between 20 and rs passengers into the
water many of them women. For several
hours it was thought that two of those
who fell into the water were drowned,
but this has not been established as
yet
The accident was due to the overcrowd-
ing on the launch. The bridge at this
point is temporarily out of commission
and the city established line of ferry
boats These were so badly crowded
that private owners of launches put them
into commission, charging a small fee.
The city boats were properly pollced
and crowding prevented, but the others
were not duly protected. Man, passen-
gers climbed on top of the cabin of the
Owl and when it careened there was a
rush for the opposite. The boat captized
in 20 feet of water with the tide running
out at a rapid rate.
