Humor and Philosophy

By DVNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. TF you were a millionaire you’d doubtless be surprised at the manifold virtues that you would discover Id millionaires. Beady made friendships, like ready made clothing, are admirable and labor saving—if they fit The knocker grips his hammer involuntarily every time he bears any one spoken of in commendation. Playing the fool is as natural as life to the most of us. It sometimes seems that the eternal fitness of things requires eternity to adjust itself in. No matter where yon find a deck of cards, they shame the family Bible in that they don’t require dusting. It is a good thing sometimes to be grateful for the punishment that wasn’t meted out to you. Audacity often wins where experience hesitates and loses. Sunday seems to be the only day in the week that some people feel like working. The man who isn’t the head of the house is seldom aware of it. To see your sweetheart when she has a cold in the head is enough to make you want to break your engagement. So many people are so busy grafting there arn’t many left to chase the grafters. A Joiner. “Is jour husband a member of the x. B. C. lodge?’ “How old is the organization T ‘I don’t know.” “If it has been organized more than fifteen minutes he is ip it.” r The Test. “Do you believe in suffrage?” “Are women capable of citizenship?” “Why not? They can master political economy.” ■ “But can they understand baseball?" r Flippant. “The weather is cold.” “The weather?” “Yes.” “But it doesn’t seem to mind at aU though, does it?”
