THE PHILOSOPHY OF POTATO :
Hill,
3. w. Howe's Monthly.

C6S nave served III france.
America is such a good thing that
it has made million fools rich.
If you didn't say mo" pretty often
your money wouldn't last long.
The louder a man talks, the more
the people hesitate to dispute what
he says.
No husband could get along with
Mary Pickford, with all her money
and fame
An American thinks he might as
well curse God as to vote against
school bonds.
l don't imagine death itself is such
horrible thing; it IS waiting for it
that is disagreeable.
If the devil had good security, he
could borrow money with which to
buy birthstone for his terrible fires.
Profit is the price we pay for hav-
ing plenty of everything, delivered
where we want it at the time we want
it.
You can avoid good deal of bad
luck by working steadily during the
day, behaving yourself, and going to
bed early.
The managers of the various fads
make money out of them; the fol-
lowers lose money and gain the rep
utation OF being crazy.
l read the other day of large
number of wild geese that were fast
in the ice somewhere, and an appeal
was made for money to rescue them.
The English sparrow, originally be-
lieved to be reformers, are now great
ly annoying the useful birds: we
, would get rid of the sparrows if we
could
When | am travelling on railroad
train and go into the smoking room,

nothing; who just sits quietly and be-
HAYES.
Here is another plan to reduce the
high cost of living: A man in Cali
fOrnia claims that whales milk is
richer and more palatable than cows
milk. Now let congress appropriate
sum large enough to catch whales,
milk them, and see if there is any
ting in this new talk.
| am of the opinion that many
sermons and lectures are listened to
because of politeness; but il is diff
ferent when man reads. Ii he picks
UP magazine, he is free to throw it
down, if it doesn't suit him; and |
suppose writing men would be sur
prised if they knew how often this
| occurs.
The man who is too poor is more
discreditable than the man who is too
rich. We are all more or less dis
creditable, but the man who takes
! reasonable care of himself and is not
community burden is more to be
commended than the man who is.
The man who has to helped is more
of a nuisance than the man who has
| to be watched.
| There is a certain type OF man who
| loves to serve on committee and
boast that he pushed his town over
! the top. He loves the luncheons where
| he makes reports; he loves the fiat
! terry OF the newspapers, which say he
1 his a man of great energy and popu-
! larity. This type of fellow is nervous
and wants more excitement; he is in

| am familiar with a little paper in
little town, and, so far as | am able
| to Judge, after long experience in
| the newspaper business, it is the poor
| est publication | know. Yet the owner
makes money. The world is full of
men who are getting along" who are
not entitled to- Not only capable men
| have a chance in this country, but
| incapable ones. Blessed be the name
! OF the United States of America.
| In literature favOrite theme is
| bankers robbing widows. In real life,
thousands of bankers assist widows
in managing their affairs and prevent
the widows from being robbed. You
rarely go into bank that you do not
see widow receiving good and free
advice from a banker. In all my life
| have never known a banker to- rob
widow, but have known many wild
ows to be helped by bankers.
1t is declared by reasonably good
authority that practically every de-
nominational paper in the country is
more or less of a financial failure;
that there is not single periodical
issuing from the Roman Catholic press
that is self-supporting. And the Truth
Seeker, a. noted opponent of religion
nearly fifty years old, calls for dona-
tions or it cannot go on. The world
is neglecting religion; it is a subject
in which the people no longer have
interest, and frankly say no.
One of the things workingmen OBJ
ject to is the boss system. Every
thing in life is necessarily conducted
by the boss system. The pprentice
must work under boss, an older and
more experienced man, to learn his
trade. Schools, families, governments,
parties, churches are conducted under
the boss system; there is no other way.
We might as well object to our dis
agreeable way of being born as to OBJ
ject to the boss system; be a good
workman and the boss will advance
you rapidly.
The men of the world are lately
crazy to celebrate their bravery and
patriotism Everywhere are being
erected expensive monuments: mon
umentitis is raging as did the Span
ish influenza No village, market
place, no eligible eminence, no com
handing situation, but is looked upon
