Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —LoDgfellow. A conceited man is always conceited. He never gets over it. Most musicians seem to be bald headed. Nothing goes quite as fast as the clock when one gets to bed aboujb 2 o’clock in the morning. A woman who can waste much time on a dog is not much thought of by women who have babies. Even poor actresses with cheap shows affect dogs. The more places you have in which to keep things, the more chances there are for them to get lost. The man who has but little business never has many enemies. How many of us there are who excite no interest except to be laughed at. • Men never get too rich or too poor to own a dog or two. We wish lodge officers did not have such frivolous names. Every once in a while we hear of some one who is working “the church racket.” Young folks hardly ever eat any onions, even if they would like to, because they are always going somewhere. If it were as easy to get up as as it is to resolve to do so, there would be but little late rising. Everybody laughs if you go to buy onions. Boys think most brothers are smarter than the one just younger than themselves. Some men are beaten for office because they are too well known and others because they are not known well enough. A man likes to be in front of the procession if it is merely as drum

major of a band. It is usually the cook who makes the most smoke that does the best cooking. Every girl thinks that folks in a bigger town wear better clothes than they do in a small town. It usually snows on Sunday so a fellow has to work every day in the week including Sunday. A widow who gets life insurance would always better dress plain a while if she wants to avoid talk. The wonder is, how any woman ever gets all the clothes made that it takes for her children. Nothing is as democratic as a fire, for there everybody talks to everybody else. “I have been troubled with indiges tion for ten years, have tried many things and spent much money with no purpose until I tried Kodoi Dys pepsia Cure. I have taken two bottles and gotten more relief from them than all other medicines taken. I feel 1 more like a boy than I have felt in twenty years.” Anderson Riggs of Sunny Lane, Tex. Thousands have testified as did Mr. Riggs. A. F. Long.
