Lake MeLuIee Says:


 When a fellow is engaged to a girl he spends a lot of his nights going to court to prove that he loves her. And after he marries her he often spends tot of his days going to court to prove that she does not love him.
 The man who won't listen to reason is usually thinking the same thing about you.
 The lad who is always telling you that banks are not safe is the same fellow who never has anything to put in them.
 After all it isn't necessary for a wo- man to get married five times in order to look well groomed.
 When a man hires a girl he wants to see her recommendations. But he isn't that particular when he maxriss a girl.
 ed woman who used to carry eggs into town and swap them for snuff and calico?
 When boob gets up enough courage to propose to a girl she has to act sur prised. But the truth of the matter is that she told all her girl friends about her engagement months before and has spent several weeks arguing with her mother about the proper date for the wedding.
 During the first year of married life she posters him to death by asking him If he still loves her, and he gets highly peeved every time she does it. But about ten years later he would give all most anything he has if sine showed enough interest in him to ask him if he still loved her. A woman is inclined to exaggerate everything but her age.
 Faith may move mountains. But it isn't bad idea to have a team of horses or an auto truck around if you want to deliver the goods.
 Any old time a man gets up at a meeting and announces that he Is merely going to make a few brief re- marks, you can settle down and pre- pare for a two hour talk.
 It takes a mighty expert buffer to know when not to.
 A young man goes fishing to catch fish. An old man goes fishing to rest and do 8 lot of Ieisure1y thinking.
 When a man thinks he has a smart dog it is hard to. say which is the bigger nuisance, the man or the dog.
