Humor and Philosophy

By DVNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. MORTGAGE on a house is not spectacular or noisy, but sometimes it won’t let the tenants sleep o’ nights. Some women tell their husbands to be sure aud not do the things they particularly desire them to do. A rolling stone gets many a bloodstain. The man who doesn’t mind it isn’t apt to be ruled by his wife. There are women who are not fond of men, but they never say anything about it. Perhaps a dollar doesn’t go far, but it very seldom comes back. Telling a man that he is a fool may be called useless information. Love in a cottage is not to be treated lightly, considering the high price of flats. A bachelor is a man who has lacked the courage of his convictions. A sensible idea doesn’t need a letter of introduction. v Anxiety may be described as the condition of mind a man Is In. who is wondering If his wife is awake.
