Mans best friend is a frank enemy.
Smiles cover multitude of mental
maledictions.
The worst enemy to mans success
is a fatttering friend.
Because you find a man working is
nosign that he's rot lazy.
Funeral expenses are often incurred
by trying to save DOCTORS bill.
Eyes are the windows of the soul,
but some folks keep the shutters
tightly closed.
Must women must be fools, else
they wouldn't have anything to do
with US fool men.
Even the sweetness of a new pair
of shoes carries with it the bitterness
of breaking them in.
The great trouble with great many
selfmade men is they hadn't very good
material to work with.
The only difference / can see be-
tween the oppressed and the oppres-
sor is that one has the upper hand.
The bard must have been at pub

Unsociable men are usually those
who haven't strength of character
enough to hold their own in a crowd.
Just so soon as a man begins to
blow about the enormous business he's
doing, that settles it: He is simply
disguised with the thing and wants
to sell out.
The number of days within which
the bread we cast upon the waters
returns to US depends entirely upon
the quality of the bread; bad article

GADABOUTS.

You think because of the title of this

cerning that class of women who are

families and for their own amuse-
ment.

But there are worse gadabouts.

What could you expect Of a ship
that would sail now ahead and now
sidewise and now In. circle and in
every direction Of the compass regard

Gadabout ships of that sort soon are
drifting derelicts.
Some peoples thinking is of that in
definite character. They are as change
able as the drifting vessel. As sail
ors say, they are forever 'yawing."
Their thoughts are gadabout
thoughts.
It Is all right to think at times along
general lines for the broadening and
cultural effects such thinking affords
but to get anywhere and to do any
thing ones thinking must be definite
and purposeful
The gadabout thoughts may do for
the passenger who whiles away his
time on deck, but the steersman can
not indulge them.
Vacillation spells failure.
Spasmodic, disconnected thinking
goes gadding to nowhere.
Vagrant thoughts make vagrant
men.
The man who has failed has done
about as much thinking as he who
succeeds, but 1t has been fragmentary,
impulsive. wayward. His thinking
has not been In a straight line.
Concentrate!
Know what you want, decide on
your course and then, with fixed de-
termination, converge your thoughts
on definite accomplishment.
Centralize your thoughts!

Significant Events In Sweden.

While the eyes of Europe have
been fixed on Italy and her adventure
to the southwark. highly significant
political and economic developments
have been taking place almost un-
noticed in the far north of the con-
tinent, in Scandinavia. The elections
to the lower half of the Riksdag. held
in Sweden on September 27, were of
unusual Importance. Perhaps it
would not be too much to say that
they inaugurated for the entire world
new era based on complete recogni-
tion of the peoples will as the final
source of power. The old Riksdag
had in its lower house Tor Second
Chamber) a membership of 223, made
up of SO Liberals. 90 Conservatives
and 35 Socialists. Though the Con-
servatives did not even form the most
numerous group, and though the other
two groups were able and willing to
cooperate in many matters, the gov
ernment was in the hands of a Con-
servative ministry headed by Aryid
Lindman. The new general elections
were called under recently adopted
law, providing suffrage for all men
over twenty-four. To offset this ex-
tension of the franchise, the Conser-
vatives. aided by the Crown and the
timidity of certain Liberal elements,
had forced upon the country very in
tricate system of proportional repre-
sentation, intended to protect the
rights of minorities. Basing their
calculations on the results of previous
elections. Conservatives hoped
that the new system would go far to-
ward giving them working majority
in the new Riksdag. But the scheme
designed for their own benefit helped
the Socialists instead. The new low
er house, which has 23O members, is
composed of 1O1 Liberals, 65 Con-
servatives and 81 Socialists. AS some
of the Liberal candidates were elect
ed by Socialists votes and may prove
socialistic in their final affiliation, the
partyof aristocratic landhoiders and big
industrialists has practically become
the smallest in the Riksdag. From
