PERT PARAGRAPHS. fpHE things that you never tell don’t figure in court as part <of the argument for the defense; Bravery Is a habit of mind, but cowardice often affects tbe legs.

There are people who always mistake noise for logic. Honesty is respectable, and it is fortunate that we can say that much for it One peculiarity about the reckless spender is this: he seldom earns the money he burns. The man who breaks his word usually tries to stick it together again with the glue of easy promise. The skeleton in the closet frequently sits on the front step. The only real live secret is the dead secret The things a woman can’t tell are those she manages to give expression to in some way. The Nearest He Had Ever Come to It. "Pa, did you ever ask for bread and get a stone?”. “No, but I often asked for a biscuit and got something resembling a brick.”—Chicago Record-Herald. By Design. "I hear your chauffeur had a runaway.

Then and Now. Come seventeen years it was. I think (I’ll never forget the day). I took a basket to the store And when the clerk had looked me o’er Unto him I did say: “Give me four bits worth of lard, and a quarter’s worth of ham. And ten cents worth of that husky cheese That comes from Rotterdam, And five cents worth of onions, And a nickel’s worth of eggs—” Well, say, you’d a-thought that blame fool clerk Would laugh himself off his legs, “Now, how do you think,” says he to me, with a most offensive air, “You’re goin’ to carry all that stuff In that little basket there?” Yesterday I went to the store with a basket as of yore, The same old size, the same old kind And when the clerk his ear inclined I named my wishes o’er. “Give me four bits worth of lard, and a quarter’s worth of ham, And ten cents worth of thalt hiisky cheese That comes from Rotterdam, And five cents worth of Onions, And a nickel’s worth of eggs—” Well, say, you’d a-thought that blame fool clerk Had gone on a laughin’ jag, “Chuck the basket,” says he, “you can carry it all In this here paper bag.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
