One thing worth remembering Is that every time you butt in you add at least one more to your collection of enemies
 If man wants to go to a blow out and tells his wife so she will tell him that he can't go. But if he is smart and growls around that he promised to attend the blow out and isn't going because he doesn't want to go. she will bawl him out for being mean skunk and disap- pointing his friends and she will force him to go.
 A girl often marries a man when she knows that he isn't good enough for her because she knows that he is too good for the other girl who is chasing him
 Many nice sleeping porch is un- occupied at night because Friend wife knows how Friend Husband snores and makes him sleep indoors so he won't arouse the neighborhood. It is good thing that man does not have to carry a handbag in which to keep his handkerchief and his money like a woman. If he did he would have to buy a new bag every day in the week If he didn't leave it in the street car he would leave it in the first kali he visiteid.
 The average girl is smart enough to know that if she lets her fellow hold her on his knees for ten min utes he will get yen to support her for the rest of her life.
 Maybe money would look as big to man as it does to woman if he had to touch his wife for every cent he got to spend
 The reason why everything he does pleases her before they are married is because nothing he does will please her after they are mar. ried.

 Sufficient time has elapsed since Wickersham delivered his speech in Cordova for local citizens digest his remarks thoroughly and for the sentiment or the community to crystalline concerning them. The opinion is generally expressed, and by who are anything but partisan that it's effect harm the Wickersham candidacy. It is the story that has come from Nome, from the Interior and, in fact rom every point where he has delivered a public ad 1ress. When l informed time ago that wherever Wckersham had spoken he had injured his chances or election put it down to the partsanship o the reator whose wish was father to the thought But since the Cordova speech 1 well believe that such is the
 When the assertion made that Wckersham lad not made single statement in his entire speech that was wholly true that expressed the lstly Wlckersham evidently relied the belief that Alaska citizens did not keep closely in touch with public affairs, and would be able recognize his various misstatements and that anyway, the fact that he, Wckersham had made such statements would be sufficient warrant for the average Alaskan to be- leve them Time was when this may have cen true It is not so now.
