THE MUSINGS OF
A GENTLE CYNIC

At least no man can be stingy with
his happiness.
1t isn't always the big men who do the
tallest lying.
It's hard to get along with people who
are always short
Where one man takes drink dozen
are willing to be taken.
There are some men we couldn't look
up to, even though they might become
aviators.
When a woman can't bear to have her
husband out of her sight, he is either a
very good husband Or a very bad one.
Many a man puts up a bluff only to
trip over it.
Some people spend all their lives look
ing before they leap.
You can go broke without Shattering
any traditions.
The only reason for existence some peo-
pie seem to have is just to take UP
room.

worth what it costs to get it.
Charity may begin at home, but it is
very apt to be out when you call.
It's easy enough to give advice about
love affairs, if you have never been in
love.
There are times when one must be an
awful hypocrite to congratulate bride
and groom.
It's really the under dog who is on his
uppers.
it can also be damned.
Even the fellow who has no end in
view can see his finish.
Lots of people who are sure they are
right don't seem to get ahead.
Some people imagine they can make
us get UP steam by pumping us full of
hot air.
We might get the worst of the deal by
swapping what we have for what we
want.
The minister always takes precedence
over the divorce lawyer, who says. polite
ly: After you, sir
The spiteful girl isn't SO apt to be a
belle as she is to be a knOcker.
1t is quite possible for good luck to be
contaminated by bad habits.
The man who is on the level should
by all the laws Of nature have smooth
traveling-but does he?
No. Clarence, it isn't always the high
f1ier who gets to the top of the heap.
Even a reputation will get furnished il
you don't keep pc ishing it up.
The churchman should be known by his
deeds as we as by his creeds.
Many a man feels like kicking himself

The people who take the thought for the

Many a man is crooked from following

Foolish Charity.

OBERT /. HARGIS, the charity ex-

charity.
"Unoreanized, unsystematic charity

artist who, with his sister, owned row

There was bagmaker among the fiat
tenants who visited the artist one day
and told a terrible tale of hard luck.
concluding by a request to be let off that
months rent.
"T can't let you off your rent, my poor
friend the artist said, because the flats
are my sis .er's property as much as they
are mine, and she would never consent.
But here-take this TheA artist handed
the bagmaker the amount of his rent in
cash. Take this, and pay my sister with
it.
1.-The bagmaker was overjoyed. There
after, every month or SO, he called on
the artist again with a hard-luck story,
and the latter again gave him his rent
money.
But the artist, talking the matter
over with friend one day, said depre-
catingly:

really I am not so for you see / get
