COUNTRY TOWN SAYINGS

(By Ed Howe, of AtchisOn)
A womn cannot keep moths out Of
few old buds in a closet; but think
Of the genius of the man who keeps
moths out Of clothing emporium.
A we'll behaved, patient man rarely
knows whether his wife loves him or
not but let him shoot somebody, or
forge a note, and his wife stands by
him in a manner to attract the atten-
ton of everybody.
When two members Of the same fam
lily meet on the street, they always
seem to have something disagreeable
to talk about
Every man has more pure deviltry
in his nature than he is willing to ad-
nit.
Time seems to demonstrate that the
man who is a little selfish, is a little
wiser than the man who is too gen
erous.
Some men are so mean that when
they attend a ball game, they want to
see the home team beaten.
About the only thing wife can do
feed him we'll, and trust to luck.
Don't expect too much help. The
facts are, you must take care of your
self; and usually of two or three 9th
ers.
There may be no such thing as True
Love, but there is an imitation that is
very pleasant and serves well enough.
In an old-fashioned family, the eld-
er daughter knows almost as much
about as babies as the mother.
Occasionally you know man who
is very nearly an anarchist; but never
knew a man to go all the way.
When you think over a subject,
don't have your mind made up when
you begin.
Most ushers at a theater, even in
a small town, beg off when there is
a lecture.
