POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Friendship is a branch of self-love. When a man is easily bought the buyer is usually sold. Many a politician who expects a plum is handed a lemon. of the worst things under the sun is a shady reputation. If some men were compelled to pay as they go they would stay. A woman is naturally off color when she removes her complexion. We always feel sorry for a dignified man when the taffy is being passed. Some people never know when to stop and others never know when to begin. What puzzles a small boy is how his mother can stand it to wear such a hot slipper. A good dinner has about the same effect on a man that a pjood cry has on a woman. Run for office and read the oppositions newspapers if you would see yourself as others see you. Beware of the man who gives you a tip on the races. He may have an ingrown grudge against you. When a man doesn’t get married all the married women think it is because he has been disappointed in love —but all the married men know better. Don’t try to convince a man that he isn’t as clever as he thinks he is unless you have no use for his friendship.—Chicago News.
