Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air. It tell to the earth; 1 know not where. —Longfellow. Horsemen all hate automo6iles. Nothing looks as disoonsolate as a half smoked olgar^ Of all the cheap things, the cheapest is a cheap flowered vest. All the best and biggest peaohes grow in the top of the tree. We observe that the reddest peaches are not always the ripest. People seem to enjoy talking abont a girl who is growing fat. Most of the smart things children say, they are put np to say. You can never make a girl mad by eating all the oake she bakes. A baby can ory louder than a brass band can play. We have tried it. Any man can quit using tobaooo Just as well as not, but none ever does quit. Little scrub towns use the word "metropolitan" more than Obioago does.

Nothing is more uncontrollable than a hot stove lid on the floor, upside down. Everything comes to him who waits, but it will make better time, if you hustle. Nothing is as disagreeable as to have some one rake up something you said long ago. Oet a crowd of men to talking over a good meal, and they are very apt to talk foolish. Low summer shoes are not necessarily * Mgn of any superhuman amount of intelligence. A man who marries a girl and goes to her home town visiting, has a bard row to hoe. If a lecturer did not get off a lot of ohestnuts, lots of folks wouldn't understand any of it. Boys who like to brag that they do their own thinking do not necessarily hurt themselves thinking. It is surprising how many peaches a basket holds after you have been peeling peaohes till 0.30 p. m. Seeing how tough it makes every* body feel, we see no reason why anybody voluntarily loses sleep. A man holds a coffee mill With one hand and grinds with the other. A woman doesn't hold it that way. People who like to say "I hain’t got no education," like to have you infer that they are not so slow, after all. When a man tries to help in the kitchen, the women folks say it takes more time to get him .ready than it would to do the work. When you see a man chasing around over the neighborhood, carrying a cream pitoher, you may know there is a party going on at bis house. Subscribe for the JOURNAL. O. M. Phelps, Forestdale, Vt. says his child was completely cored of a bad case of eczema by the use of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Beware of all counterfeits. It instantly relieves piles. A. F. Long.
