There was a young sculptor named Phidias. Whose art was very insidious; He drew Aphrodite, without any nightie, Which greatly shocked the fastidious.

Sandy and Archie were sitting in a streetcar when a very pretty girl got on and smiled at Sandy. He tipped his hat. "Do you know her?" asked Archie. "Verra well," said Sandy. "\Mell then, let's go sit by her and you can introduce me." "Not so fast, laddie," whispered Sandy; "she has na paid her fare yet."

There are two ways of being happy. We may either diminish our wants, or augment our means, either will dothe result is the same; and it is for each man to decide for himself, and do that which happens to be the easiest. If you are idle, or slck, or poor; however hard it may be to diminish your wants, it will be harder to augment your means. If you are active and prosperous, or young and in good health, it will be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise, you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well; and if you are very wise you will do both in such a way as to augment the general happiness of society.

The following correction appeared in a small-town newspaper:

"Our paper carried the notice last week that Mr. John Doe is a defective on the police force. This was a typographical error. Mr. Doe is really a detective on the police farce."

Stephen kissed me in the Spring, Robin in the Fall; But Colin only looked at me And kissed me not at all.

Stephen's kiss was lost in Robin's lost in play; But the kiss in Colin's eye

Haunts me night and day.

"What's yourn?"

"Coffee and rolls, please."

One of those iron-heavy mugs of coffee was pushed over the counter to him. He looked surprised.

"'Where's the saucer?" he asked.

"'We don't use no saucers here, see? If we did, some lowbrow would come pilin' in here and drink out of his'n, and we'd lose some of our swellest trade. see?"

It musta been a right smart horse

Who figgered out the proper course To keep his back shooed free of flies But not forget his ears and eyes.

You see, a horse's busy tail Is made to swish just like a flail, But though he whips it hard and rough, The darn thing ain't half long enough.

Hung way back upon the South, It just can't reach the pestered mouth; And fappin' ears and blinkin' eyes

Are plum' no count for scarin' fies.

Then one horse to another said, "I'll fip my tail across your head, For then your tail will work for me And free from flies we both shall be."

So there you have cooperation, Used by horses since creation; F'or human problems-small or greatIfse Florse Sense and Cooperate.

Bad times are good times for the development of new ideas, improved methods, and new business. When things are slack, opportunity is afforded for work in the laboratory of the brain, and in the laboratory of the factory, and the research department is put on its mettle. Bad times are also good times to take a mental inventory of everything pertaining to one's business, to study the lesson experience should have taught, and to take a look into the future as far as our too-limited human intelligence will permit.
