JOTTINGS

Pluck is the stepfather of success. Men spend a lot of money for things they don’t want. Some men spoil a good story by sticking to the facts. About the safest “get-rich-quick” scheme is to marry an heiress. ■•w Somt stocks recover from a fall faster than the small operators do. Those who offer bargains get rich quicker than those who seek them. Girls make almost as muc£ fuss about graduating as they do about getting married. Brevity may be the soul of wit, but just the same it doesn’t tickle a man when he finds himself short. Some one said that wealth does not beget contentment. We are positive that poverty doesn’t. And there you are! / Almost any married man will freely admit that in the choice, of a partner his wife’s Judgment was superior to his own.
