KANSAS ```markdown ``` LEISURE HOUR REFLECTIONS FROM A QUIET CORNER DENNIS S. THOMPSON Bethel, Kansas. Every now and then one may hear the people talk of how they used to do things, years ago; and how at this time we have lost step with the onward march of progress. A great many prominent men and women, spend a great deal of time worrying about what they could do with the money they used to spend in former times, if they had it now. There are so many unnecessary things that we have done, in moments of thoughtlessness, that it is scarcely worth our time to worry over, but with each new day we should grasp a new thought, which we should endeavor to work out in our lives. This continual absorption of useful thoughts into our minds will in a short while get us into the habit of thinking only of the more useful tshings of life, because after all, it is only the things worth while that are counted for good in this life. As regards our group, there is much that we have not known, or seen to do, that we can turn our attention to now. The fact that we have not done these things should not deter us from so doing as fast as we can get at them. The matter of race solidarity is a question that should have the full attention of every thoughtful, and loyal member of the race, that is, if we ever expect to take our place in the affairs of the world, with other peoples. * * * If we are ever to build up the race in a substantial business manner, we must give race institutions more encouragement, and a heartier support. Where we have people doing business among us, let us spend our money with them, and let them have our good will just as we give it to the other fellow. God made all of the people, and placed them here in the world for a purpose, because He knew one would need the other, so it is not our say who shall do this, or who shall do that. The mission in the world of every people is to help one another; no one has the right to curtail the rights and privilege of the other. In our community it is our duty to give our support to our business people regardless of race or creed, but we must not give all of our patronage to other people to the detriment of Negro business. In a certain district in Kansas City, were five grocery stores in a radius of two blocks owned by Jews, and a well-stocked Negro grocery; Negroes let their own store fail but are giving support to the other stores. And this in a Negro district. Some times it happens that our group does not carry a complete stock of goods as other stores, and yet, that should not keep us from buying of things kept in stock. There are many of our folks that are getting in position to take care of the general trade just as efficiently as other people, so we must take notice of the fact. We cannot expect to ride on the other fellows' back all the time, and not be thrown down, which goes to say that we must become more self-dependent and not look for others to carry us all the time. * * * Speaking of business, reminds us that at times, business seeks the man and he is not there. Upon inquiry at one of the leading Negro drug stores, for a copy of a certain magazine, we were informed that no Negro publications were carried in stock, but a full line of cheap, trashy literature was in the display window. Such instances clearly explains why we are not more able to do things as other people do them; just because we are not willing to exploit the merits of those things produced by our own group. We have made a good start as a race in the sixty years behind us; but the sixty years ahead, are going to stretch over a much longer road than we have traveled. The requirements of all the things that enter into our lives are to be more exacting, and more will be expected of us in every way. To meet these needs and keep pace with the shifting scenes of the times, will call for the best thought among us, and steady hands to guide. Cooperative organizations in the various communities, will be a help in the creation of business sentiment. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR-AND PUBLISHER BISHOP A. J. CAREY SPENDS SUNDAY AND MONDAY HERE IN INTEREST OF CHURCH On the account of some misunderstanding, with a part of the members of First A. M. E. church, in regards to the appointment of the new pastor Rev. J. B. St. Felix Isaacs, bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago, was called here Sunday to adjust matters, of a broad casting nature. Sunday afternoon the bishop met the officer of the church, in the lecture room and heard from the lips of those, who made the call. The bishop, who is always ready to hear, with patience and give fatherly council barred no one from expressing themselves, whether officer or floor member. Everything was in order and while there were some feeling demonstrated no harsh words were lasting. The bishop remained over until Monday evening to give his decision and at 8 o'clock a larger number met the bishop, who in a beautiful and loving way, showed to those, who had called him here, were not justified, in any way, according to only heresay and broadcasting jealiesies were not sufficient for him to make any changes, at First church. His decision give general satisfaction and some of those who had been the promoters of the meeting, stood on their feet and declared they were for the right and the good of the church as a whole and would do everything in their power this year for the success of the church and their leader. It was a glorious meeting and the bishop left with a lighter heart and a greater loving people toward him for his council and big brotherly love. Here-say, misunderstandings and jealousies, with local and foreign telephones, with the proper operators, at each end, could nearly pull Christ from His throne, so as to speak.

Wisdom in a Nutshell Pryor Irwin told this one while in Eldorado recently, says the Times A woman wrote to Dorothy Dix, famous newspaper matrilonial and love consultant. Sald the correspondent: "I am getting along in years and a man has asked me to marry him. It is probably my last chance. But I have a horrible secret. I have false teeth. I have concealed this from him so far. I am afraid that if I tell him of my affliction now he will refuse to marry me. And if he marries me and finds out my toothless state later, he will probably divorce me. What shall I do?" To which Miss Dix very aptly and very wisely replied: "Marry him and keep your mouth shut."—Kansas City Star. Music Memorial Music's history since 500 B. C. has been engraved in golden letters on the walls of the Benedict music monument in Roger Williams park, Providence, R. I., says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The structure, built on the lines of the Parthenon, is of white marble and is set in a grassy glade which forms a natural amphitheater, at times holding 50,000 persons. Orchestras, bands and vocalists entertain the audiences from the steps and interior of the monument. Physical Test Idea Old Although health examinations are more numerous today than ever, especially on the part of adults, it is not a new idea, for, according to Dr. Alev Thomson of the American Medical association, the idea was brought up in France in 1870. There is a growing interest in the United States which first received the idea about 1900, but according to Doctor Thomson, it will be many years yet before the good results can actually be tabulated. Boys Park Your Car Seattle, Wash., has a "tag boy" service, by which motorists downtown may call a uniformed boy to park their cars. The boys stand in front of department and other stores ready to drive any motorist's car to a parking station—for a price, of course. In buying and selling, and working together, we shall be more able to carry on business, than at the present slipshod method of doing things. We must get in the position where we can help ourselves, as well as our neighbors, and be ready to help at any call. We know but little now about the things of the life that is to come, but what is certain, that love must last. In the Danger Zone WHY JOHN, HAS THERE BEEN ANOTHER WAR DECLARED? NO, MOTHER THE HUNTING SEASON HAS OPENED THAS ALL Popular opinion will agree with the British scientist at Toronto who finds that the human hat is the most humorous thing in nature. The irresistible appeal of a small hat on a big man or a big hat on a small man has been demonstrated by the centuries, or at least ever since the male headcovering ceased to be a bonnet and became a hat. Exception, however, might be taken to the suggestion that a hat which blows off is funny primarily because it is a hat. The basic reason for laughter in such a case is that it blows off, the hat being the only article of apparel which is capable of sudden separation from its owner. If shoes were as easily detachable, the spectacle of a middle-aged man chasing his shoe up Broadway would be just as funny. Sitting down on a hat is unquestionably the most humorous operation in nature. But there again the hat must be of stiff felt or straw, lending itself to the sense of irretrievable calamity reinforced by the noise of collapse. Sitting down on a fedora is much less funny than sitting down on a derby, and sitting down on an outing hat of the kind that can be carried in the pocket would not be funny at all. The comic stage today leans heavily upon a trayful of crockery suddenly dropped. The classification of humor according to age strata is a highly dubious attempt. At the age of seven visual humor is supposed to change into verbal humor. In England "exaggeration stories" cease to interest after the age of thirteen. In this country they persist until the age of eighteen. But as a rule it is hard to tell who makes a "first" dash for the Sunday comic supplement, the members of the family over the age of seven or those below. One counter-explanation would be, of course, that the celebrated intelligence tests have shown us to be a nation of twelve-year-olds. But in that case how would one account for the recent discovery of the comic strip and the "slapstick by the intellectuals"?—New York Times. Word Has Odd Derivatives Dr. C. C. Williamson in his book, "Curtous Survivals," reminds us that the word "sack" has a strange origin and is connected with a curious story: We probably got that word "sack," he says, from a Coptic or Egyptian word "sok," which means a kind of canvas or cloth from which a bag was made, says the Youth's Companion. The story is that the word "sok" was the last word uttered before the tongues were confounded at Babel and that consequently it appears in every language in an almost identical form. Curiously enough, the second statement is true. The Irish "sac" is the same as the French word; the Latin "saccus" is closely related to the Italian "sacco" and to the Spanish "saco." In Greek, it is "sackkos," in Hebrew "sak" or "saq"; in Dutch "sak" and in Swedish "sack"; and the same word appears in many other languages without any real change. In slang or colloquial talk we now apply it in quite another fashion; when we talk of a person's getting the sack we intend delicately to intimate that he has been discharged from his employment. That use we probably derive from the Turkish custom of getting rid of undesirable persons by putting them into a sack and throwing them into the Bosporus. ADVOCATE COLORED CONGREGATIONALISTS THANK PRESIDENT COOLIDGE Washington, Nov. 5.—Colored representatives at the National Council of Congregational Churches which met here October 20th-28th, called on President Coolidge Saturday, October 24th, and praised him for his speech against intolerance, delivered at Omaha this month. Doctor Henry H. Procter, of Brooklyn, New York, who acted as spokesman said: "In behalf of the 15,000 colored Congregationalists of the United States, we greet you as a fellow-Congregationalist in whom we have full confidence, not only because of your traditional background, but also because of your example as a Christian and your acts as a President. "Particularly do we want to thank you for that great word you spoke at Omaha, the bravest word spoken by any Executive for three-score years. It sounds like Lincoln. "Our prayer is that God may use you to promote that good-will between white and black in America that speaks inter-racial co-operation, and that peace among all the nations of the earth that means they will study war no more."

Of exceptional interest to the thousands of colored men and women who are buying homes and farms, who are educating their children, and who are investing their hard-earned savings in business enterprises, were the addresses made in Chicago last week by three captains of industry, who declared, in no uncertain tones, their belief that peace and prosperity face this Nation for years to come. Mr. Charles M. Schwab, Chairman of the board of directors of the great Bethlehem Steel Company, in speaking for the steel industry which employs in the blast furnaces and steel works and rolling mills nearly 500,000 persons, many of whom are colored, to whom is paid an income in salaries and wages aggregating more than four billion dollars yearly, said: "Steel is the Nation's barometer and the outlook for steel was never better." Mr. E. W. Rice, Jr., Honorary Chairman of the board of the General Electric Company, was equally confident that the Nation is about to enter an era of great prosperity and spoke of the future of electricity, of electrified railroads, and of the cheap power and light to the farmer, to whom they are "more important than to any other class of ourpopulation." Major-General James G. Harbord, President of the Radio Corporation of America, in adding his optimism to that of the previous speakers, told of the growth of his industry and of its prospects. He said: "Radio has grown from a $2,000,000 infant in 1920 to a lusty five-year old of $350,000,000 last year, and an estimate of $500,000,000 this year. When prosperity is predicted by outstanding men of this type, upon whose foresight and activities conditions of employment so largely depend, it stimulates business men generally and results in new investments and extensions; in a greater development of our natural resources; in a larger volume of production by our manufacturing establishments; in an increase in the number of persons employed; and gives life to trade and commerce. In all of this we are greatly concerned, because prosperity for the Nation means prosperity for us. It means more industrial opportunities, more bank accounts, more homes, more business enterprises, more cultural opportunities; in fact, it means a betterment of both our economic and social status as a people. It means PROGRESS. YOU CAN GET THE ADVOCATE FROM NOW UNTIL JANUARY 1, 1927, FOR $1.50. Send in your subscription to day, or call Fairfax 0650 and our representative will call.

SPOILED EFFECT OF DOCTOR'S SMART IDEA Frank Irving Fletcher, the advertising expert, said in an address in New York: "Advertise, but advertise in the right way. "At an important political meeting the other night the chairman had just introduced a famous orator, and the orator had just got up full steam, when an attendant tiptoed from the wings and whispered something in his ear. "Friends, excuse me,' said the orator, 'but is Doctor Pillsbury in the house?" "A pompous-looking man in a front seat rose. "Doctor Pillsbury, you're wanted on the telephone." "In a deep and impressive silence the doctor pushed past a dozen pairs of legs, and then as he went tip-toeing down the aisle-the orator said from the stage: "'I have a doctor brother, friends, and he, too, used to advertise in this way when he was starting out.'" OLD ENGLISH LAW BASED ON BIBLE "Benefit of clergy" was a privilege once enjoyed by the clergy of England, whereby they were exempted from civil punishment. The origin of this exemption is unknown, but the custom was probably based on the text: "Teach not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm." (I Chron. 16:22: Ps. 105:15) Edward I in 1274 extended this privilege to all laymen that could read, Such a criminal could not be put to death, but was to be branded on the left hand. The first verse of Psalm 50, was chosen as the reading test, and hence was known as the "neck verse." In 1691, this privilege was extended to women. The privilege eventually became a dead letter; it was variously restricted and finally in 1827 in the reign of George IV, it was abolished altogether—Kansas City Star. An Unflattering Light William Jennings Bryan, a few days before his death in Dayton, sald to a correspondent: "So you think that all this limelight is doing me good, eh? Well, a lot of it makes me feel like the doctor. "Oh, George," said the doctor's wife, 'and so you've actually saved old Mr. Million!" "Yes," said the doctor. 'I'm happy to say old Million is now out of danger.' to say old Million is now out of danger. "Oh, George," she said, "what a marvelous doctor you are! Oh, if I had only known you seven years ago. I'm sure that under your skillful treatment my poor first husband, Harry McMasters, would have been alive today." The Next Best Thing "Willie, where did you get that black eye?" asked mother. "Johnny Smith hit me," answered Willie. "I hope you remembered what your Sunday school teacher said about beeping coals on the head of your enemies?" "Well, ma, I didn't have any coals, so I just stuck his head in the ash barrel." Horse Saved Mate's Life Comote, a three-year-old thorough-bred mare on the Bakersfield (Cal.) ranch, is credited with saving the life of her mate, Katie. Comote pranced into the ranch yard visibly excited. By various means the mare induced a man to follow her to a deep stream where Katie, was struggling desperately to keep her head above the swirling water. A stake rope held her captive. The rescue was effected just in time to save her life. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH C. E. BROOKS, Pastor. Parsonage 1111 N.

The executive secretary of the Philippine Islands Anti-Tuberculosis society says that tuberculosis mortality in that country is increasing, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. There were 29,752 deaths due to tuberculosis in 1920, or about 297 per hundred thousand of population. There are about 350 beds in both public and private institutions in the islands to care for about a half million consumptives, 150 of which are in the city of Manila for advanced cases, a small number at Cuyo, and the antituberculosis society maintains a colony of 22-bed cottages for incipient cases and two 40-bed infirmaries for advanced cases. The anti-tuberculosis society aims to cooperate with the government in solving the tuberculosis problem. The secretary believes that, in view of the lack of understanding of the disease on the part of the public and the "ready-made" excuse of lack of funds on the part of the legislature, the best means to demonstrate what can be done is to give a demonstration similar to that conducted by the National Tuberculosis association in the United States at Framingham, Mass. Explains How Oil Mosquito "wigglers," or larvae, are not smothered by the oil sprayed on their pools; they simply drown. The researches of Dr. David Kellin, working at the Molteno institute in South Africa, and just announced in London by Sir Arthur E. Shipley, run counter to the older and commonly accepted notion. Mosquitoes and their larvae, like all insects, have no lungs or gills to breathe with, such as higher animals have. They get the oxygen they require through systems of tubes opening directly to the outside air and branching inward to all parts of their bodies. Doctor Kellin discovered that mosquito larvae had certain cells in these tubes that secreted a fatty substance, which served to keep the water out. But upon experimenting with them, using oil, liquids that dissolve fats, he found that if these protective secretions were thus dissolved, the breathing tubes of the larva filled up with water and the hapless "wigglers" drowned. Men or Mars? Several scientists have come to the conclusion that Martians actually exist, and are a race not very different from our own. They are said to have proofs that Mars is in the condition that the earth is approaching—that is, a desert. Wind erosion has removed the mountains and hills and the seas have disappeared. The canals are not ditches nor water-courses, but vegetation on each side of conduits of water used as routes of travel. These scientists also hope to prove that beings of an intelligence and a civilization far in advance of ours exist on Mars. Franking Privileges The privilege of sending and receiving mail free of postage was once enjoyed by the President of the United States, vice president, heads of departments, senators and representatives and other officials of the government during their official terms. For a time all former presidents also had this right, but by an act of 1873 the privilege was abolished. By later acts it was conferred on all officers of the government in the case of official correspondence. In 1895 members of congress were allowed this privilege in their official correspondence. Famous Crater Uncovered At Petersburg. Va., General Grant ran a gallery 500 feet to plant a huge mine under the Confederate earth work, resulting in the death, it is said, of 5,000 men July 13, 1864. Recently this old crater was uncovered by the United States battleground commission and found intact. It is regarded as the "greatest battlefield work" in history. The tunnels runs 35 feet under ground and is shored up by timbers. It is expected to reveal evidences of heavy carnage. It has been closed up since the day of the explosion. Now Go to Africa Sightseeing in Africa has become a late fad as a result of the recent visit of the prince of Wales to the "dark" continent. A party now being made up will contain 400 tourists and the route of the trip will be far removed from the beaten path. Places which figured prominently in the Boer war will be visited. All Set for Wheat Cakes Just at the opening of the buck wheat cake season came word that 65,000 gallons of molasses was produced in the Barbados this year and that Hawaii had shipped 105,000 gallons to this country. Phones in Esthonia Reval, Esthonia, is gradually adopting the telephone, 600 instruments having been installed in the last year, and a modern exchange with 10,000 lines will soon be installed at a cost of $460,000.

DORSEY GREEN, Atty. for Plaintiff. (First Publication Nov. 6, 1925.) NO newspaper can succeed without advertising, therefore we solicit the patronage of our readers for those who by their advertising help to make this paper possible. With simple directness the Indians argued from the known to the unknown in choosing their names. There had to be some meaning to the words, some way to identify the spot referred to, either by direction from the village of the tribal chief, or by description. As example: Housatonic, the land toward the rising sun; Agamenticus, the land on the other side of the river; Mississippi, the father of waters; Wisconsin, the wild, rushing river; Monongahela, the river of many landslides; Manhattan, the place of drunkenness; Connecticut, the land of long tidal river. Powhatan, the famous Virginia chief, was not known by his real name, which was Wahunbencawh. That was too difficult for the settlers, so they called him by the name of the land over which he ruled, Powhatan. Nor was Pocahontas the true name of his daughter, the princess; her real name was Matoaca. Shenandoah means daughter of the sky; Chickahominy means the river in the land of much grain; Chilcago means the land where wild garlic grows. Most of the names carry a clear meaning to the minds of those who know the places. Emerson said language was fossil poetry, and if that is true, then surely the Indians possessed a genius for beauty and rhythm. When R. L. S. made his journey across the United States he was struck by the Indian words and wrote of the subject appreciatively: "And when I asked the name of a river from a brukeman, and heard that it was called 'Susquehanna,' the beauty of the name seemed to be part and parcel of the beauty of the land. As when Adam, with divine fitness, named the creature, so this word Susquehanna was at once accepted by the fancy. That was the name, as no other could be, for that shining river and desirable valley."—Saturday Blade. Einstein Theory Here are two interesting examples of Einstein's famous theory a common man may understand, says Capper's Weekly. Suppose you are watching a clock and have the power to continue watching it no matter how fast or how far it recedes from you. As each second the light waves by which you see the clock will have farther to come and take a longer time on the way, that will make the clock appear to go slower and slower. Yet Einstein insists you will not be wrong in supposing the receding clock goes slower more than you would be wrong in saying it kept good time if instead of receding it stood still. In the same way, suppose you were to toss a stone out of the window of a speeding railway train. To the passengers it would seem to fall backward, but a section hand standing beside the track, would see it fall forward, though not so fast as the train. It all depends on the point of view That is why Einstein calls his theory relativity. Sublime Ignorance Not far from Geneva, on the shore of the lake, stands the famous Eighteenth century house where, a hundred years ago, Mme. de Stael held her literary salon and received some of the most eminent personages of the time. Not to have heard of Mme. de Stael is considered in Geneva society much the same as not knowing how to read and write. The following anecdote is being repeated at Geneva dinner tables concerning a member of the British delegation to the assembly of the League of Nations: "It is such a nice afternoon," exclaimed one of the delegate's friends. "Wouldn't you like to drive out to Mme. de Stael's house?" "Oh," answered the delegate, "but doesn't she ever come in to the assembly?" Got His Horseshoes When the manager of an Allentown (Pa.) moving picture house inserted an advertisement in a paper announcing that every child with a horseshoe would be admitted to one afternoon's performance, he misjudged the horse population of the city. Instead of about 200 youngsters appearing with the "luck charm," 4,000 stormed the theater. Many of the horseshoes were new, and some horseshoeing establishments were obliged to lay in a new stock before they were able to continue in business. Coke Cheaply Made The Prague Czechoslovakia Iron and Steel works is reported to have made successful tests of a method for making coke from low-grade coal with equipment supplied by the German Krupps. Previously it has been impossible to make coke from the coal found in the region of Kladno where the firm is located, owing to the fact that the coal crumbled to dust during the coking process. The new method is said to make possible the production of coke from low-grade coal and also from lignite. Testing a Tradition Near Ullensaker, in Norway, is a grass and tree-grown tumulus, 69 feet high and 300 feet in diameter. Dateless legend says it contains a stone chamber in which are the remains of an unknown king, lying on a couch between two white horses. In 1870 an attempt was made to open the mound, but after several perilous falls of tons of earth and sand the excavators abandoned the work. Archeologists are now preparing to make a fresh attempt to test the truth of the tradition.

DORSEY GREEN, Attorney for Plaintiff. (First published No. 6, 1925.) THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE PASSING THOUGHTS Lavish promises lessen credit. Horace. To master oneself is the greatest mastery. A man's past is the best prophet of his future. Nothing is heavy to a man which necessity brings. Money amassed either commands or obeys each of us. POINTED PICKUP The noblest motive is public. He who desires nothing is want. The darkest hour is only sixes. A falling drop at least will stone. If you say he is ungrateful, you say all that can be said. Tis skill, not strength, that governeth a ship—Italian Proverb. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of—Tennyson. It is easier to take medicine than it is to made up your mind to take it. The man who is superior to his clothing usually wears mighty poor clothes. Some people tell the truth more for the sake of convenience than for truth's sake. Many are interested in great men's lives only because it brings a few holidays every year. "Time is money," so says the proverb, yet lots of fools throw away money in order to kill time. Being broadminded is all right. But there is a danger. Broad streams usually are very shallow. Although a man and wife are looked upon as one, some wives consider their husbands very small fractions. Some girls who profess to be highly educated have merely been immersed in a weak solution of accomplishments. Friends for Long Had A good story is going the rounds in London regarding an experience that befell Sir William Harcourt when he was shooting in the Scottish Highlands with J. E. Millals. According to Mr. Millals, Sir William was strolling about one evening when he spied a magnificent horned beast grazing peacefully on a little hill. In the gloaming it looked like a stag of fine proportions, and without pausing to examine it through a glass, he rushed into the house, and, selzing a rine, advanced upon his quarry with all the stealth and cunning of an accomplished stalker. The crucial moment came at last. His finger was on the trigger, and the death of the animal a certainty, when a raucous Highland voice bellowed in his ear: "We're no gaen to shute the meenister's goat are ye?" Forest Fires Increase The forest service says that forest fires increased to an alarming extent in 1924. In that year 92,000 fires occurred, sweeping 29,000,000 acres of land. Compared with the calendar year 1923, the 1024 figures represent an increase of 24,000 fires and, compared with the nine-year average, an increase of 45,000 fires, or nearly 10 per cent. In acreage swept by the flames the 1024 figures are only slightly larger than those for 1923, but are almost double the acreage figures representing the nine-year average Money damage in 1924, estimated at $38,000,000. Is $10,000,000 above the 1923 estimate and $18,000,000 higher than the nine-year average of $20,000,000. Sunday Schools There are more than a quarter of a million Sunday schools in active operation in the world, attracting an attendance of more than 30,000,000 pupils. North America is ahead of other continents in this census, with some 150,000 schools and 20,000,000 pupils. Europe has fewer than 70,000 schools and about 8,000,000 pupils. Asi ranks next with 30,000 schools and 1,300,000 pupils. Warning Ellis, Searles of Indianapolis, the coal and labor expert, said at Atlantic City: "A passively hopeful attitude is no good if you want to prevent a world clash between capital and labor." He paused, then added: "People who just cling to the anchor of hope always go down in the mud." Almost Older Generation—Do you mean to say that you went out to dinner with a perfect stranger? Younger Generation—Not perfect, mother, but the best I could pick up!—Life. A FINE REPUTATION YOU'RE GIVING MY APARTMENT HOUSE -GETTING ARRESTED FOR RUNNING OVER THE ROOFS, CAUSING A RUMPUS, DISORDERLY CONDUCT, AND WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY ABOUT IT, EH? A man is being hit by a man. YES; I'VE BEEN TO SEE YOUR NEIGHBOR, JOHN SLAUGH, UP STAIRS—HE TOLD ME HOW YOU CAME UP ON THE ROOF AND SASSED HIS WIFE, AND HOW YOU RAN LIKE A COWARD WHEN HE CHASED YOU ACROSS THE ROOF, AND... A falling drop at least will carve a stone. Pleasure is the reflex of unimpeded energy. Diligence is the mother of good fortune. Why not try the uplook if the outlook is poor? To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting. Not in costly favor is the greatest enjoyment, but in yourself. Few men cut their wisdom teeth until after they get married. Some men are long on energy but short on the ability to utilize it. If you want anything told, tell it to a woman and tell her not to tell it. It takes a woman with a good constitution to pose as a chronic invalid. It is easier to find fault in a boarding house than it is to find a square meal. Sugar-coated Instruction is nearly as interesting as downright amusement. Beauty is more than skin deep when a wrinkle has to be filled up with rouge. An enemy never tells you anything "for your own good." He doesn't care. The pessimist who expects the worst to happen is sometimes disagreeably disappointed.
