Wise and Otherwise.

A man seldom gets so full of emotion that he has no room for dinner. Possession is nine points of the law and the attorney’s fee is the tenth. There is a beautiful statue in every block of marble, but only an expert can coax It out. Many a man has tried to sound the depths of a woman’s love only to find that It had but two dimensions. When fortune knocks at a shiftless man’s door he Is usually over at a neighbor’s trying to borrow something. ,p.eaf mutes are familiar with signs, but only drunken meii try to shake hands with the wooden Indians In front of cigar stores. When you think that you are going to learn to love a girl remember that a little learning of that sort is a particularly dangerous thing.
