Many mean men are men of means. Smiles are little noiseless laughs. There is nothing insignificant—nothing! Fool questions usually beget fool answers. All spirits are enslaved which serve things evil. Who bathes in worldly joys, swims in a world of fears. Our care should not be so much to live long, as to live well. Every man must fashion his gait according to his calling. The less work a man has to do the more he tires other people. Fools throw kisses, but the wise men deliver them in person. A good law without execution is like an unperformed promise. There are moments in life that are worth purchasing with worlds.

"You look as though you wished some sort of information, sir. Can I be of service to you?" "I don't know," said the young man. "I was told to buy either a camisole or a casserole, and I can't remember which." "Well," said the shopwalker, patiently, "if you'll tell me what kind of a chicken you propose to put in it, perhaps I can help you."—London Tit-Bits. His Occupation A feller from down about Slippery Slap, while passing along the big road in the Rumpus Ridge neighborhood, encountered beside the road a resident of the region sitting on a stump and gazing at the ground. "Howdy!" he saluted. "What are you doing there?" "Blanderin!" was the reply. "Durned if I know."—Kansas City Star. The Human Dud While he was making his way about his platoon one dark night a sergeant heard the roar of a "G. I can" overhead and dived into a shell hole. It was already occupied by a private, who was hit full in the wind by the noncom's head. A moment's allence—a long, deep breath, and then— "Is that you, sarge?" "That's me." "Hot dog! I was just waiting for you to explode."—Everybody's Magazine. Decorations Too Costly Brass work, with which the front doors of most British homes have been adorned for centuries and which contributes to the furnishings of numerous offices, is going out of fashion because of the expense involved in keeping the fixtures shiny. Many new buildings in Liverpool and elsewhere in England are going up without brass or copper decorations. World's Hottest Spot Recent announcement made by the National Geographic society gives the distinction of being the hottest place in the world to Azizia, an inland town of Italian Tripoli. A temperature of 130.4 degrees was noted there last summer. HOW DID YA MAKE OUT? SUIT- QUE BUD NE! OH FINE! YA SEE WE FINALLY & COMPROMISE WOMAN WRITES OF ENGLISH CONCEIT An American journalist asked me if I thought his people thought more of themselves than the British did. I said it was a nice point, and added: "You do not think more of yourselves than we do, but you think more about yourselves. We live in an older and more interesting country than you do, but you won't hear an Englishman ask any foreigner what he thinks of England; nor, I am frald—if an opinion either praising or adverse were volunteered—would he care a rap for the reply." As a nation we are not touchy or vain, but we are concelted, Margot Asquith declares in the London Magazine. Vanity undermines self-confidence, conceit stimulates it; and if success is the object aimed at, I do not know a defect more likely to insure failure than vanity. If you refute this by citing the famous men who have been vain, you find that their vanity did not cover the ground; it was redeemed by qualities of heart, head or judgment rare even in the humble. Improved Sandals Spring sandals strapped on like skates and with two stout steel colls fastened between the bottom and a lower leather-padded sole, are now on the market for boys' and girls' amusement. They are made in five different sizes and stiffness of springs for small and larger children, and the springs are so flexible that there is practically no danger of turning the ankle. Walking or jumping with them is said to strengthen the muscles of the feet and legs and besides providing healthful sport the sandals lead to the development of new games for the playground.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. And Far "Doctor Jackson tells some wonderful stories. He must be a great traveler." "No, but his mind wanders a lot." Not the Word Proud Eather—I understand, son, your school now boasts of a glee club. Son—No, sir, we don't boast of it. Same Everywhere "So I will call round with the bill on Wednesday."
