SAWED-OFF SERMONS

Shakespeare says: “Conscience doth make cowards of ns all.” William evidently never had any dealings with lawyers. A man knows all about human nature that is worth knowing if he knows that other men aren’t any more foolish than he Is. If three years of matrimony doesri’t put a man wise, the sooner he is carted off to the foolish house the better. If a minister Is tired after letting out a long-winded sermon he at least has the sympathy of nine-tenths of the congregation. Beware of the man whose debts don’t worry him. He probably would swipe your umbrella If he saw It in the vestibule of a church. The world seldom gives a man more than he deserves, but many a man who deserves a term in jail is overlooked by the gra'nd jury.—lndianapolis Star.
