"How long is your summer season up in this country?"

And he answered:

"ft came on Friday last year. You never can tell."

Thoughr lr Wos Srrickly Credick

The backwoods character became heir to several hundred dollars and went right down to the store where he had been buying groceries and paid a bill of long standing. Then he strolled down the street, went into another grocery, bought a big bill of groceries and paid cash for them. The first grocer, who had been carrying him so long, heard about it and called him to account. He said:

"\illhat kind of a man are you, anyway? When you are poor and need credit, I let you have the groceries you need to keep your worthless hide together, and then when you get a lot of cash money you go over to my competitor, and buy a lot of groceries for cash."

The countryman's mouth opened wide in wonderment, as he said:

"Good Lawd, Mister Jackson, f never knowed you sold groceries for cash."

Emerson on Friendship

"Our friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions, because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the tough fiber of the human heart.

"The laws of friendship are great, austere and eternal, of one web with the laws of nature and morals. But we have aimed at a swift and petty benefit, to such a sudden sweetness. We snatch at the slowest fruit in all the garden of God, which many surnmers and many winters must ripen. We seek our friend, not sacredly, but with an adulterate passion which would appropriate him to ourselves."

No Holf-Woy Houses

"'When you wuz on your vacation, honey, where did you stop at?" asked Maggy of the ribbon counter. And Hazel, of cosmetics, replied:

Where Hoppiness,Dwells

Nobody knows where happiness dwells, Or how to snare it by charms and spells; It can fly like a lark; it can bud like a rose, But the secret of happiness nobody knows. This much is true: it will not depart From the way of a tender and loving heart; It can veer like the wind; it can turn like the tide, But in souls that have faith it will still abide.

Hoeckel Soid-

"I do not belong to the amiable group of the 'men of compromise.' I am in the habit of giving candid and straightforward expression to the convictions which a half-century of serious and laborious study has led me to form. If I seem to you an iconoclast, I pray you to remember that the victory of pure reason over superstition will not be achieved without a tremendous struggle."

Inclusive

"I shall miss you, dear," said the young wife as hubby started on a hunting trip, "and I trust all the other hunters will do the same."
