 "I'm afraid she always has been," Morgan said lightly.
 The friendly hand remained upon his shoulder. "She was wrong once, old fellow. At least, so it seemed to me-
 "No," said Morgan, a little awk- wardly. "No-"
 Kinney relieved the slight embar- rassment that had come upon both of them: he laughed again. Wait till you know young Georgie a little bet ter" he said. Something tells me you're going to change your mind about having an angel to show, if you see anything of him '"
 You mean beautys in the eye of the beholder, and the angel is all in the eye of the mother. If you were painter, Fred, you'd paint mothers their laps. Me, I'll stick to the old masters and the cherubs."
 MT. Kinney looked at him musingly. Somebody's eyes must have been pretty angelic" he said, If they've been persuading you that Georgie Minafer is a cherub !''
 'They are" said Morgan heartily. "They're more angelic than ever" And as new flourish of music sound ed overhead he threw away his ciga- rette and jumped up briskly. Good by; I've got this dance with her."

 "Old times?" Morgan laughed gay ly from the doorway. 'Not a bit There aren't any old times. When times are gone they're not old; they're dead! There aren't any times but new times !"

But one good thing you can say for
near beer is that generally it doesn't
have as much foam on it as regular
beer, and that while it contains no
songs neither does it contain any
weeps.
If you have a good excuse for liv-
ing, don't hesitate to mention it, for
nobody else is likely to until you do.
A true gentleman is one who de
nounces as false something he knows
is so if by doing it he can help an
other.
There are many false standards of
value, but what do you think of
Judging the wealth of man by the
price of his automobile?
Maxims are hardly ever true. For
instance, the one about children and
fools always telling the truth. Many
children never tell the truth if they
can avoid it, and a fool lots of times
will lie when the truth would serve
him better.
When mother is in a hurry to go
somewhere the children can always be
relied upon to get all dirty just as
she is ready to start.
To an unreasonable man all things
are unreasonable.
An habitual smoker who is out of
tobacco is nervous, but did you ever
notice a girl who has lost her powder
puff?
If you can't be happy unless you are
doing something exciting, it's sure
thing you are not very exciting.
"What fools these mortals be!'
that is, all of them except yourself.
When man says, "Now you I'M
derstand there's nothing in this for
me-" there is.
The reason dishonesty attracts so
much more attention than honesty IS
because it is so much scarcer. You
wouldn't look twice at a flock OF
backbirds but you'd look long time
at white blackbird.
You may have the idea that the
people are being constantly oppressed,
and maybe they are, but never get the
idea that you are being if you care to
have friends.
All the feeble-minded are not in the
asylums. Some of them profess to
understand international politics.
When your work is good sport,
you're probably a pretty good sport.
If you never expect anybody to do
the thing that is expected of him,
you'll be lots happier.
It may be all right to laugh at the
mistakes of others, for it's almost
dead certainty that they're laughing
at yours.
Nobody is born unlucky but he can
acquire unluckiness by constantly
putting himself in the way of bad luck
and refuse to ceer up after piece of
it has hit him.
The living the world owes you is
generally not the kind you want.
A good child is rather to be
chosen than one who "speaks pieces"
Until the mothers of the land strike
for shorter hours the republic won't
fail.
When you die it doesn't matter what
you were worth, but did you have
worth?
Men rail at the vanities Of women
but you never notice them paying
much attention to the kind that have
no vanity.
Train up a child in the way he
should go and then keep your eye on
him to see that he doesn't break
training before he enters the fight.
If you are never willing to "take
chance" you'll probably never have
much of a chance to take.
If you love it your job is not likely
to get a divorce from you.

they say that some married pair
doesn't get along very well togeth-
err" but they would be telling some
thing much more remarkable if they'd
point out some who always do get
along very well together.
And on the other hand, if you have
nothing you can't venture it.
At least children and fools are hui
man. Are you?
If you don't understand yourself
why expect others to do so?
"a fool and his money are soon
parted"-but so is everybody else,
from everything else.
The best burglar nowadays does not
carry "gun"-he has a set of scales.
If you worry too much about the
high cost of living maybe you won't
have to worry about anything long.
If you can hanndle a situation"
probably you can handle yourself.
Better talk too seldom than too
much.

Weighing the Bone

Some time since woman went into
butcher shop and asked for two
pounds of a certain kind of meat.
Immediately the butcher started to
oblige and closely the customer
watched him as he cut, sawed and
chopped.

the customer as the meat was being
placed on the scales. "You are

Financial Diagnosis

In a confidential little talk to a
group of medical students an eminent
physician took up the extremely i'm
portant matter of correct diagnosis
of the maximum fee.
"rhe best rewards" he said, "come,
of course, to the established specialist.
For instance, I charge $25 for a call
at the residence, $40 for an office
consultation, and SIS for a telephone
consultation"
There was an appreciative and en-
vious silence, and then a voice from
the back of the amphitheatre, slight
ly thickened, spoke:
"Doc, how much do you charge a
fellow for passing you on the street ?"
