FACT AND FANCY

Beards are taxed in Japan. America has the moat trampa. Baked bananas make a good brain food. Porcelain coins are a feature of Biam. The Dutch consume the moat tobacco. Be particularly careful of a dead sure thing. True pearls are often found in the cocoanut palm. Gossip puts two and two together and makes nine. A good deed is better than gold, but not as negotiable. Half the world doesn’t know why the other half lives. Some people never get any higher than a towering rage. * Airing other people’s faults never made them smell any sweeter. Ijlo wonder churcllyards yawn—the epitaphs would make anybody tired, Every man haß his own peculiar bent, and that is why so many of us are crooked.
