The sympathy plea often runs the busy bee a close race. The word “honeymoon" doesn’t spoil much to an elderly man. A man who has a hobby thinks tha i every man ought to have one. The important questions aren’t the ones that stir up the dirty rows. Do your duty without fear or favor, and become known as a knocker. It is a reasonably safe bet that the devil isn’t leading ail the people who follow him around. You can’t always be sure that a man is innocent simply because he hasn't been convicted. A womab believes a man is a When a man deserves both far rels and gets them, he shouldn’t try to convince the public he is a mar tyr. What has become of the old-fash ioned party who argued that no pitch er could throw a “curve ball?” Does a city ever get so big that the liusittesa men are not expected to "pony up" several times every year? Supper, ns a rule, is more effect ive titan sin in making a man lie brute unless he Is greatly interested in children and sweet peas. A man who buyo a diamond en gagement ring on the installment plan is in too much of a hurry. A mother’s notion of an ideal daughter is one wtio thinks more of tier mother than she does of the boys. awake nights viewing the Past with regret. They are still letting the woman do the work: machinery 1ms helped the farmer more than it has helped his wife. A good many men have fooled themselves when they thought they could fool the public and make money at it. Some country towns are so dull that a baptism in the nearby creek is counted something of a sporting event. Your friends may not help you very much hut they doubtless I amount to more than a recount in that particular. The average woman is wholly un able to understand why a train should leave at 3:58 instead of ex actly at 4 o’clock. Although it may be true that money cannot win love, it seems to be able to try-out a large line of samples in that line. The Lancaster Literary society will shortly debate the question: Should a man who has made a success in politics he known as a business man?' if ail the young men who went J west to make fortunes would stay there, the railroads would have a gi ml d< al less trouble with the tramp problem. Daughters education is frequently acquired in a manner which doesn’t give her much of a show to accumu late a little common sense along with it. While the incubator has its faults, being no good for laying purposes, you don't have to pour cold water on it, or lock it up, to make it quit setting. A man who bus a notion to order an automobile, is very modest, but he gets over it when the car ar lives and he begins to enlarge on i its superior merits. Adam was the first bum sport, but (hero have been a good many men like him since,giving to blaming their trouble on the women after they were found out. Every married man knows that the millinery opening and house cleaning come in the spring, although many are too busy to keep tab on the violet and bluebird. It is much easier to take a man’s word for it than to wait for a dem onstration, and in certain in stances, like public speaking, the first way is more satisfactory. When a preacher, in explaining a point, says Matthew 5:6, it is the same aa when a writer uses a French sentence to illustrate his meaning: no one understands it. No man was ever so busy lie forgot when payday came. Do things, and let someone else | talk them over. Tho first robin has more enter-, prise tiian sense. Some liars are so persistent, they fool themselves. Looking for a location is often j just an excuse for a bum. Some men are so smart that they j can even sell an old typewriter. It takes a good deal longer to quit a bad habit than it does to j learn it. Many men, who consider them As a geneial rule, about the slow est system of landing a good job is to wait to be appointed to it. , If a woman brvs another woman is I pretty, she is almost sure to add: “Hut she hasn't a bit of sense.” solves as martyrs, are merely chumps Among the other popular fictions. i there is that story about the cheap er cuts of meat. You can't prove that you are a friend of a man simply by being too familiar with him. People are so contrary they prob ably would take less quinine if it didn’t taste so bad. Post card philosophy: “If you do not want to be criticised, say nothing, do nothing and be nothing. That theory that time flies didn't originate with a hungry man waiting for the dinner horn to blow. This would be a lovely world if men were as patient in oilier things as they are in waiting for fish to bite. If you must waste your time, don’t waste it in argument to double tho waste and make it disagreeable. A man doesn't have to go hack to his old home town and tell the peo ple he made good; if he really did, enough folks from back home will come to visii him to carry back the glad tiding!. Next to mining stock, the patent right probably is about the flimsiest foundation on which to build your hopes. When a woman says she is get ting too old to attend dances her feelings are hurt if she is not con tradict) d. What has become of ' the old fashioned men whose Vermont kin sent him a consignment of real maple sugar? After a boy grows up. he begins to be grateful because, as a boy, l e lacked the nerve to run awaay with a circus; every boy has been tempted, A man who bolds a job a long time in one place might possibly do better elsewhere, but lie isn’t the cm- who makes that possibility his principal topic of conversation. An Atchison girl, who married an out of town man, has come back. Her husband told lier lie had a bunga low waiting for her. but the bungo low proved to be a shanty. Although it is not recorded that any of them ever tried it, it is our theory that a politician could make a good many votes by liminiting his speech to fifteen minutes. A boy’s idea of a good time differs a good deal from the notion of an old man about similar matters. And the old man has a way of seeming wonderfully virtuous because he does not indulge in a lot of foolishness which no longer appeals to him. The dentists ought to double their prices during the spring oinion sea son. Everyone over estimates the value of relics. Every man, however, would use th veto power a good deal, if he had it. It is generally said of a really pret ty girl that she has a terrible tem per. Nothing is as easy as it seems to the merchant who is sending a sol icitor out. Eggs are cheap enough, what the ultimate consumer is crying for is a hen which will also lay bacon. Whenever you have to put up money to save an investment it gen-| erally means (hat you will loose it. I Regardless of popular tradition and. ilio funny papers, a goat isn’t near ly as dangerous a beast as the dog. When a man wears an overcoat ! while th ' thermometer registers 60, he is a victim cf habit or ill health, i Parents worry too much about ! choosing ' Lirjr boy's life work, since the boy v.. ally selects it for him s-*!' reputation for wisdom with the fact that he got married so often. Perhaps you have noticed that married men and single men r.r; about equally eager to share a seat in a car with a pretty girl. A young man who has been polish ing up on love-making forgets the art as soon as he gets married—if he is a respectable husband. No man lias ever been able to make a match or a toothpick take the place of a cigar; cigarettes are about the only cure for the tobacco habit. What has become of the old-fash ioned person whose idea of modesty was a refer to a bull as a. gentleman. With the average recreant if it wasn't whiskey it would be somethin else. It doesn’t pay as a general rule to make children and collars work overtime. A good many men continue to con sider a bet an unanswerable argu ment. Quarreling will spoil a good appe tite quicker than anything else in the world. Anarchy isn’t very well organized hut it seems to be a good deal like war in oilier respets. Every woman thinks there is some man in the world who couldn't get along without her. Someone must prove to us that the second hundred dollars comes any easier than the first. Every man likes to use that old ex pression that he never forgives an injury or forgets a friend. Men laugh at boys quarreling over marbles, but men fuss about more foolish things than marbles. It so often happens that the man who is least entitled to sympathy from his wife, gets the most from that source. If a woman wears shoes smaller than number threes, you can learn that fact by talking with her long enough. You may have observed that the modesty of the first violet isn't us ually reflected by the party who lo cates it. Older men are so forgetful, they would like to know why a young man wants to shave before his beard be gins to grow. It is generally believed that a man with whiskers wastes more time play ing with them than it takes a smooth-faced man to shave. If a Kansas town has less than ten thousand population a beer ad vertisement in a telephone directory is liable to start a riot. If a man’s little children should ( disappear, lie wouldn’t have much difficulty in identifying them by the finger prints on his collar. A man who do ‘s what he thinks Is right i> verj seldom the most popu lar man in ills line of work, and . this is particularly true if he hap | tens to engage in politics. About lhi> only hunting story which Isn’t generally disputed is a man’s claim that he killed five skunks; the i videm e would seem to substantiate him if he said ten. if equal suffrage wins, and tlie wo men spend as much time at voting as tin y spend at picking out dress good the elections will run into each oth er and all of the election t lerks will * omixiit suicide. , When a woman starts in to en amel tiie furniture and varnish the floor, sic usually thinks she has any Journeyman painter beaten a block, but she usually gets over that con ceit before she finishes the job. Mrs. W. L. Stevenson returned home today in Nebraska City where she will stop over and visit her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Pfann. Mrs. Claude Yocam is visiting her mother in Itulo for a few days. Mark Williamson spent Sunday in Humboldt witli his mother and sister returning to Falls City Monday morn ing. Mrs. Frank Spaulding went to At chison today to visit with friends and relatives for awhile. No man should begin wearing his hat around the house until he needs to resort to something like that to keep his head warm. NEWS FROM R.
