ARAGRAPHS
"A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW
AND THEN IS RELISHED BY
THE BEST OF MEN"

Wishing won't win-work will.
The worst failures have the best
inventions.
Poverty is no disgrace, but neither
is 1t anything to brag about.
tat
Trouble also finds a lot of men who
were looking for something else.
ftt
Impostors always believe that a
soft-hearted man is soft-headed.
tat
The chances are your generosity
costs less than your extravaganza.
ttt
1t is difficult to teach children more
%politeness than their parents practice.
Unless you have learned the value
of silence you haven't learned much.
ftf
Man wants but little here below"
but after he gets 1t he wants ~a-plenty.
ftf
Cheer up-prices are going down.
Safety matches that formerly were
two cents a box are now down to a
cent.
The man who is always misunder-
stood merely misunderstands others.
Few people care enough about you to
misunderstood you.
TT
People don't die from overwork, but
probably a few have died from the
strain of repeated telling how they've
been overworked.
Why do they call that modern insti-
tuition a drug store? Merely because
it doesn't carry a line of shoes, side
meat and harness?
TT
Many girls are trained with a view
to catching a man, rather than hold
ing him, which is sometimes a more
difficult performance.
TIT
Those who attempt to make noise
take the place of intelligence in their
conversations would object to paying
a silk price for a piece of cotton cloth.
tat
Some years ago parents had tt
train stubborn children, but it seems
that nowadays the children have
taken upon themselves to train their
stubborn parents.
About the only difference between
the stone age and this age is that
finger nails are cleaner now. Man
has not changed in nature. He still
is brutal when stirred up.
ttt
A town Is just like an individual.
Some r hustlers and some are not;
some keep forging ahead and some
stand still; some let their lights shine
and some hide them under a bushel.
One ardent reformer says he would
like to put a million dollar tax on
every pint of whisky. Well, some of
it makes a fellow feel perfectly able
to meet any such trifing obligation.
TT
It's a trite old saying, but true,
that lots of times we are well off and
don't know it. Just think of what an
eighteen carat soft snap the kaiser
went out of his way to get himself
jerked lose from.
ttf
When the photographer tells a man
to look natural" the sitter's eyes al
ways pop out and his face either as
sumes the expression of one facing a
firing squad or takes on a smile so
silly that his own children wouldn't
admit to anybody that they know him.
