RELIABLE
Arrow Shots
We so seldom do sensible things that
we want to shout whenever we do.
Queer , but a man whoainds strictly
to his own business is frequently unpop
ular.
Most of the time when we can't
sleep because of something on our
mind it turns out to be coffee.
People so seldom do the right thing
that they feel as if they ought to be
congratulated every time they do.
Some days everything seems to go
wrong , but it is compensated by other
days when everything seems to go
right.
In view of the fact that honesty pays
best and that nobody wants to be
swindled , it is queer that everybody is
proud of cheating some one else.
