As “Ed” Howe Sees Life.
There is one fault we all have;
we repeat sensational and m;u:-
dalous stories on too little author-
ity.
Luck is always against you; it
your business to beat it.
You can’t teach a wolf that a
wolf’s ways are wrong.
Only a few men seem to be hon-
est all the way through; so many
men, honest in the main, are a
little tricky.
A mother often says: “I believe
m young people enjoying them
selves," hut father usually believes
in young people learning to work.
School children laugh as
promptly at the teacher's jokes
as church people laugh at the
jokes of the bishop.
You may neglect the rules, but
you can’t avoid paying the penal-
ty.
If there is any devil in a man,
it comes out when he is presented
with a bill for dry goods.
Every man enjoys the glory of
converting others to Ins doct.sine.
Lilwnty is a glorious thing,
and so is gallantry, unless they
are exaggerated.
Bargain.
Ten acres irrigated land, fenced
and planted to Milo Maize last
year. Price $100.00 per aero.
Terms $50.00 cash, balance on
the installment plan. See
