| The way we are heading, it won't
be long before some company will
even put meter on "the love light
in her eyes,"
| If January is not too cold, some
of the New Year resolutions that
will be made may have a chance to
last until February.
If you would garner from life's store
And find your basket full,
A little push will get you more
Than trusting to pull.
Don't say you have nothing to be
be thankful for. How would you
like to wear knee pants and a pow
dered wig and stay fused up all
day?
Things are happening so rapidly
in the world to-day that we would
not be surprised to hear that some
aviator had skinned the cream off
the Milky Way.
A man who gave the name "Ben-
jamin Franklin" has been arrested
in a raid on an alleged dope ring.
But then you see, even great mems
names are not protected by copy
right.
In the midst of a hard, grinding
day, no matter what your station in
life may be, it is awfully satisfying
and comforting to think suddenly
that some pal somewhere is loving
you.
The worst pest we know of to-day
is the fellow who grabs you by the
collar and gleefully chirps into your
ear how his old boat gets twenty
five miles an hour out of "a gallon
of gasoline.
1t was said that Fatty Arbuckle's
Christmas stocking contained the
following: When you were bad you
were horrid, but now you're good,
oh, so very good, our welcomes
really torrid. Will S. Hays"
If Henry Ford should use in Ken
lucky for manufacturing, the coal
he is buying, Kentucky would real
ize handsomely on the coal, but
shipping coal out does not increase
Kentucky earnings.
When farm labor becomes or
ganized the agricultural producers
will begin talking about the good
old days when there was no union
scale, and when the San Jose scale
was the only thing a fruit grower
had to contend with.
When the old year 1922 is ended
and the new year 1923 is begun we
shall wish to remember only such
abiding things as love and faith
and gladness and beauty. Let us
therefore put things into the new
year right at the beginning.
The headline in the daily papers,
1884 Republicans Released From
Prison." caused irritation and alarm
among many Kentucky Democrats
until they looked again and saw
that it occurred in Dublin, Ireland,
and that Governor Morrow had no
hand in it.
If it were not for the gossips the
country newspapers would have a
better chance to spread abroad the
happening of the hour, the day or
the week. What kind of a chance
has the newspaper to get IAN ex-
elusive" when the gossips get hold
of choice piece of news?
A very ordinary Paris man made
the following very wise observa-
ton to me the other day: Il have
lived nearly sixty years now, and
have made up my mind that in
the thousands of times l got mad at
somebody else 1 did not change the
other fellows belief one iota, nor
enlarge my own faith bit"
A pretty Paris girl came stOrming
out of a certain shoe store the other
day. Curiosity got the better of me,
and asked the grinning clerk who
stood at the counter,I'What's the
matter?" The clerk replied: well.
old man, I've got revenge at last.
That was a telephone girl, and when
she got her shoes 1 got my revenge,

just like she's handed me many
