If a man would devote as mucli ener gy to hard work as he does to cussing his luck he wouldn't have anytliing to cuss abont. It doesn't do a niarried man any good to kuow it ali. He never gets a chance to teli it. The photograph that a girl's own niother wouldn't be able to recognize is always the oue that a girl thinks looks most like lier. Some peoi)le seem to imagtne that a man who confesses that he likes the ef forts of Honus Wagner better than those of Wagner, the composer, is a low brow. Fatber's idea of disciplining the chil dren is to bawl mother out every time one of the kids does anytbing wrong. One reason why the woman who kiss es and nurses her Fido wouldn't like to have a baby around the house is be cause Fido niiglit catch something from the baby. When a man remembers that there are nearly 2.000.000,000 people in the world he wonders why trouble happens to pick hlm out and make him the goat Any fat head can make bay -while the sun is shilling. But the fellow who san make hay when there isn't any tun always gets the kale. We are ali inclined to be very care ful when it is too late. A jolly will get more out of a woman than will a threat or a club. If some of the June brides had to do It ali over again they would select Aprii 1 as a more appropriate wedding date than June 1. Anotlier difference between genius and talent is that talent gets a hair cut once a month. A man goes to school and to college and thinks he has completed his edu cation. Then he gets married and flnds that he has only begun his educa tlon. The man who is killing time is also assassinating his opportunities. If a man has four or five needy heirs it is a cinch that he is going to live to be at least a hundred years old. The Only Chance. "Hurry, George, or we will be lati to the picture show." '*oll, we óon't want to get there be fore it starts." "Yes, we do, too~if we don't I can't see what the otber women are wear Ing."— Exchange. The Simple Llf».

"Dldn't you guarantee that inattress for six months?" "Yes, sir, hut .vou didn't teli me it was for a boy's boarding school."*- New York Times. A good inflow makes a good outflow; he who ta in much can and mu>t eivf» -*«uch. —Sfcarke. Three Rivers. Nansemond, the name of a river in Virginia, is from the Indiai* word Nawnschiinund, "the place from which we were driven away." The Flint, in Michigan, was called by the Indians Perwonigo, "the river of the flint," from the abundance of this stone on lts banks. Humboldt river, in Nevada, was named by Fremont in honor of Baron Humboldt Hen Trfckery. Since Australia is at the antipode» from us the hens there naturally lay best from May to November, coctrary to the habit of hens bere. It is now sug gested that if a hen after her annual laying period in the southern hemi sphere were rushed across the equator to the United States she might lay dur ing the rest of the year at the same rate and thus establish a new "record" for a year's production. Stili, it looks like a mean trick to play on a poor hen. •-Youth's Companion. Animai Etiquetie.

It is ni re that a big dog turns upon one of the little fellows, no matter how aggravating and snappy the latter may be. Instead, he invariably treats the ffrrmìi dogs antica with unruffled and dignifled tolerance.
