BRAIN LEAKS.

Most self-made men act like It. The lord lovetb a cheerful loser. Things won by Chance are usually lost by carelessness. Men do not rise to God by stepping on their neighbors. A woman can never understand bow men can use so many pockets. Men who wait for inspiration usually hunt for the soup kitchen. It is easy to be liberal with the money that other men have earned. A mother always feels cheated if another discovers her baby’s first tooth. Corrupt politics is caused by the lack of interest on the part of the honest citizen. Our idea of good nature is to be able to smile and look pleasant when one has a toothache. Too many men lock up their good nature with their merchandise and oarrie their troubles home. A great many people are starving because of money wasted in tall spires and stained glass windows. It is a good thing for a man that the authorities do not tax him on the value set upon a worthless dog by the baby of the household. —The Commoner.
