A woman is called ''the better half"
because she couldn't be worse than
the other half.
Another difference between men
and women Is that men never seem
anxious to displaytheir arms and legs.
A wife may not understand her
husband, but he always makes her
understand him when dinner Is not
ready in time.
If you appear cheerful under mis-
fortune the chances are you're a hyp-
ocrite.
A stubborn husband is always mar
ried to a peculiar wife.
Marriages are not all unhappy. A
deaf, dumb and blind pair were mar
ried in New York the other day.
Failures may be attributed to three
causes: Lack of judgment, lack of
purpose, lack of 'pep."

ment in the opinion OF the one you

Learn TO Concentrate.

Concentration is the secret Of cor
RICHNESS. We make mistakes when our
attention is divided. The young people
who are going into business should
never allow their minds to wander. Do
not read a story and take part in the
conversation at the same time. If you
do not enjoy the lecture you are at
tending, listen to it as if it were the
most fascinating theme in the world.
Whether the thing you are doing is i'm
portant or otherwise, it Is OF the utmost
Importance that you should learn to pin
down your attention and hold it I'M
sweryingly.
