Luke McLuke Saws;

A woman usually means what she
says when she says it, but she just
can't help changing her mind.
This would be a much better world
If people would only finish everything
that they start.
Imitation may be the sincerest form
Of fattery III some cases, but not when
you give Il girl a ten cent store dia-
mond ring.
Don't argue. Did you ever hear an
argument that was anything more or
less than flock of unnecessary con-
versation?,
Any old time you see mother wearing
daughters castoh hats and coats it is
q sign that she wants daughter to have
all the special scenery so she can get
married off.
Human nature is queer stuff. The
man who is too smart to buy a gold
brick twice will often go and get mar
ried the second time.
Before he gets her, her wonderful
magnetism inspires him to do great
deeds. But after he gets her he thinks
she has about as much magnetism as
q cold fried egg.
If q woman has enough spoons to en-
terrain without running around and
borrowing some, she always imagines
that she is a little better than her
neighbOrs.
The world is growing better. There
is a terrible shortage In the crop Of
spring poetry this year.
We may be only tenth raters at what
we are doing. But we all know that
we could do the other fellows job
better than he is doing it.
A scientist says that the ordinary
womans vocabulary runs about 400
words. But she uses the 400 about 400
times an hour.
There are not many sure things IN
life. But it is always a cinch bet that
any old time q real young girl marries
q real old man the old man has money.
When a wife has her husband prop
erly trained he spends half the year
CARRYING out ashes and the other half
emptying the pan under the icebox.
Love may be blind. But jealousy
goes around with a fifty inch telescope.
Nothing ever pays as big dividends
as good health
Most of the reformers go around
talking about their principles when
what they really mean Is their pre-
judlces.

Such a Change!

Your daughter seems to have ac-
quired n fine polish at that finishing
school she attended"
"Yes," answered old Mr.. Calder
thoughtfully. But I'm afraid her
health is not what is used to be-"
That's too bad"
Before she went away she was a
strong. husky sort of girl and able to
wait on herself. Now she can't even
dress without the assistance of a
French maid. Birmingham Age Her
aid.

The disciples of Izaak Walton had
found a perfect stream for the exercise
Of their art, and they settled them
selves for a days fishing, undeterred

had been painted by an amateur read
as follows:
"Notlss-These grounds is privet'
and yer carn't fish ere. These fish
nlnt the kind to be tempted by
wurms, and there"
Here space ran out, and the inJunc-
ton was left uncompleted. For two
hours the anglers sat by the stream
tempting the trout, not with worms,
but with the very latest and most ex-
penslve bait"
But nothing happened. Then sud
denly appeared the owner of the
grounds and the author Of the notice
board.
Hi, you two! Ave yer read that
boardp
"Well, yes, we did. But-er-we
