When you say that some men arc
fatheaded fools every man I'm your
audience knows that you are talking
about the other fellow.
Some men never forget to take the
markings with them when they 60 out.
but they always seem TO forget to take
any matches.
Eve was about the only woman that
ever moved into new quarters and
didn't kick about the dirt left by the
women who moved out.
Shapes is shapes. That's one reason
why you never hear of an excelsior
factory failing.
1t Is funny, but It is fact that most
or the men who use perfect grammar
are earning $50 per week, and most of
the men who say them things and
other bush league expressions own
their own homes and have n substan-
tial bank account
The old fashioned woman who used
to use a whole paper of safety pins
when she was dressing now has a
daughter who wouldn't know how to
use one II she had It.
BEFORE marriage he imagines that II
Is sentiment that makes her save his
love letters, but after marriage he
learns better.
You may not believe II, but the girl
who has a beam like n battleship
doesn't eat half as much as the girl
who is built like hatpln.
Prayer is all right once in awhile.
but the man who puts blisters on his
hands gets more than the man who
puts blisters on his knees.
Any real woman will spend % cents
20 save n dime
Any undertaken Will tell you that he
would starve II he had TO depend on
the men who are always yelping that
they are working themselves TO death.
The brunettes are Just as light headed
as the blends.
What has become OF the old fash
Toned girl who used to get bedduilts
and flannel pettIcoats for wedding
presents;
Anyway, Adam didn't have 10 sit
around at night and listen 20 Eve nag
ging that she wished she had some de-
cent clothes TO wear like other women.

Orialn OF Moss Roae-

A German story gives the origin of
the moss rose as follows: once upon a
lime an angel having a mission of love
20 suffering humanity came down 20
earth. Being tired, he sought a place
wherein to rest, but as II Jared with
bis Master, so It Jared with him. there
was no room for him, and no one
would give him shelter. At last he lay
down under the shade OF a rose, and
slept Gil the rising sun awoke him.
Before making bis way heavenward
he addressed the rose and said, as
II had given him shelter which man
denied, II should receive an enduring
token OF his power and love, and 30,
leaf BY leaf twig by twig, the soft
green moss grew around the stem, and
there It is 20 this day, a cradle IN
which the newborn rose may lie. a
proof, as the angel said. Of divine
power and love.
