word we can have secure the salts

The hope or better things to

a dance hiJher and thitber without
hinderance or end; making of us
chasers of the will-o- wisps of a des-
tiny over we wish control, but
over which we are fated TO be as
impotent as chaff in hurricane.
A word to the wise is sufficient"
but flow of words to the all
wise" is inefficient!
If some folks would use the same
amount of ingenuity they dc in con-
irving excuses to the furtherance
of real achievement, they'd be a
success"
Train yourself to grasp ideas and
opportunities and negate the train

The person who appropriates an
others purse can be dealt with by
conviction in law, as it is consider

son who deliberately plagiarizes?
Is he not a pilferer of the petit

The Jap has at last learned the
acquisitive advantages that western
civilization has held before him as
an ideal one. He is incidently &C

diplomacy and politics that was
foreign to him in Perry's time.
Yea, the Jap has been an apt pu-
pill in acquiring the fundamentals of
the boasted international ethics of
occidental civilization. He is now
80 civilized that he can deal out a

card-table any time it is to his ad-
vantage to do 80. Why blame him?
Be generous and opeu-handed,
and some folks will decide you are
