REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Good luck la merely escaping bad luck. Teachers can cultivate brains; they can’t create them. Most people spend their time either eating or talking about It. The Lord must take care of good women, for certainly men don’t. The first time a man wins a bet the devil writes him down in bis books to lose 60. A girl who will wear big, fat rubbers, however bad the weather, doesn’t want to get married. A wise child learns to like to be spanked so as to get a lot of spoiling to mako Up for it right after. The crafty thing for a man to do would be to convince bis wife he loved her so much he hadn’t any left for her relatives. It’s worth thinking about how mad a man cam be at first with a girl for refusing to marry him and how grateful to her afterward. * .F „ It's just humgn for an old bald-head to want young girls with a mass of curls to pretend they can tolsrate him. —New York Press.
