Eat, drink and he merry today; to

As a rule it isn't the best looking

.Some people seem to think that
loud talk makes a sound argument.
And of course everything goes dead
wrong with the successful undertaker.
If you have a cross to bear, bear it
like a man and don't place it on exhi
bition. Most of a man's friends are willing
to become his enemies on the least
provocation.
It's easy to put the lid on, but when
it comes to keeping it on-well, that's
another story.
Many a man is credited with being
patient when in reality he is too lazy
to register a kick.

Some people like to make a showing

Some young ladies make themselves

When a married man has occasion

When one man wants to turn an

After a noor man has married a wo

he will never be permitted to forget
that she knows It.
It would appear that some parents
in this city had no control over their
dauchters. or else they would make an
effort to keep them off the streets
after 8 o'clock at night. Talk about
a curfew for boys. W hy not fur gins,

There are a set of dirty whelps who
still continue to hover on the corners
to "guy" every woman who passes

police to do a little "hovering" also

scene of a merry gathering last Wed

Those, who responded to Miss Itora's '

at the Jack-'o-lantern ghost that they
saw on the porch. As they entered
the house they were very much start
led at two white spectacles which
made them think of death, and who
escorted them to the parlor.
The parlor was beautifully trimmed
with autumnal leaves, while the re
ception room was decorated with the
Stars and Stripes and Jack-'o-lanterns.
The tlmo was pleasantly spent In
games that had been prepared for
them until tho clock struck eleven,
when the guests were Informed that
Madam Buzel, the Gypsle o.ucen, had
arrived and who would now lead them
Into their mysterious future. After
she had read their hands she handed
them a mysterious paper. Tlise were
read aloud during luncheon, and

their fortunes would come true while
others would rather they wouldn't..
