WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

ITO become properly acquainted
with a truth we must first
\ have disbelieved 1t, and dis
puted against it.
You cannot Judge OF a tree by
its bark.
A prudent traveller never dis
parages his own country.
NEEDLE with dirt and some Of it
will stick to you.
Hope is grief's best music.
The best sort Of revenge is not
to be like him who did the injury.
Prosperity's right hand is indus
try and her left hand is frugality.
Pride leaves home on horseback
but returns on foot.
Patriotism must be founded on
great principles and supported by
great virtue.
The secret powers Of nature are
generally discovered unsolicited.
It is the first Of all problems
for a man to find out what kind
of work he is to do in this uni
verse.
A well-written life is almost as
rare as a Well-spent one.
The foul sluggard's comfort:
"It will last my time"
A life Of pleasure is the most
unpleasing life in the world.
Books teach US very little OF the
world.
Bad customs are better broken
than kept.
There is q rank of mind as well
as Of birth.
The mind ought sometimes to
be diverted that 1t may return the
better to thinking

LUCY LOWELL
ON MARITAL
GROUCHES
" HERE are lots Of grouches

" HERE are lots Of grouches
in this world that easily
might be eliminated, II
seems to me.
There is the discontent-with'
everything crouch which might
be ashamed II it could be made

The job crouch. irritable to-
ward position, employers, hours,

sad one.
The family-and-relatives crouch

nation Of harmony and peace.
But above all there is the mar
riage crouch, and this Is one of
the most common of all.
I'm wondering if some sort Of
mirror couldn't be contrived and
held up before these grouches so
that they see themselves as they
are. Not a disagreeable mirror,
but "a truthful one. like a whis-
pered word to the wise!
Something of the sort seems
to be the idea of the Chicago
Judge who has set out to recon-
Gle estranged husbands and wives
instead Of making a record in his
court for divorces.

So the wise old Judge sent
them into the nursery to wait

But long before he sent for
them they were back. Young
