Don't Fool Yourself

All persons do not love liberty more than anything else. The philosopher observer is astonished constantly as he notes the number of men and women who surrender freedom because something else is more precious to them. You will find them in religious organizations and in political parties. You will find them in every walk of life. If you think the American is a true lover of liberty, tell, if you can, why he continues to demand that the State take away more and more of his liberty? Why does he demand special privileges, bonuses, social security, and all the rest of the benefits of bureaucracy if his liberty holds first Place?

-Thomas Dreier

Doubter

Wife (reading Spanish history): "John, it says here that those Spanish hidalgos used to think nothing of going a thousand miles on a galleon."

Husband: "Ar.. nuts ! I never believe half I hear about those foreign cars."

Prophet

I'm sure if I foretold the Fourth of July It weuld turn up in December; But I'm not discouraged, I always depend On how little PeoPle remember.

-Merle Beynon.

Said Mohammed

Oh God, if I worship Thee in fear of Hell, burn me in Hell; if I worship Thee in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise; but if I worship Thee for Thine own sake, withhold not Thine everlasting beauty.

Generous

McBagpipes was driving along the boulevard when he drove head on into another car. The other driver jumped out and together with Mac took a survey of the situation, in the course of which Scotty gave him a good snifter from his bottle. "Thanks" said the other fellow as he wiped his lips, "but aren't you going to have a nip yourself?"

"Ayr," said Scotty, "but no' till after the police have been here."

It is not victory, *hi.hvir:,?"?side may win bv chance, but what ye do with victory that weighs for or against you in the eternal scales.

Sayings of the Druid Taliesan

LiIe Has Loveliness To Sell

Life has loveliness to sellAll beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Climbing fire that sways and sings, And children's voices looking up, Holding wonder like a cup.

Life has loveliness to sellMusic like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for your spirit's still delight' Holy thoughts that star the night. -Anon.

Not I

Preaching interminably on the immortality of the soul, the parson said: "I look at the mountains and cannot help thinking, 'Beautiful as you are, you will be destroyed, while my soul will not.' . And then I gaze upon the ocean and cry, 'Mighty as you are, you will eventually dry up, but not I'."

Frcnklin's Loan

I send you herewith a bill for ten louis d'ors. I do not pretend to GIVE such a sum; I only LEND it to you. When you shall return to your country with a good character, you can not fail of getting.into some business, that will in time enable you to pay all your debts. In that case, when you meet with another honest man in similar distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to him; enjoining him to discharge the debt by a like operation, when he shall be able,'and shall meet with such another opportunity. I hope it may thus go through many hands, before it meets with a knave that will stop its progres{i. This is a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money. f am not rich enough to afford MUCH in good works, and so am obliged to be cunning and make the most of a LITTLE.

-Franklin

Not My District

Disgruntled: "I wouldn't vote for you if Peter himself."

"ff f were St. Peter, you couldn't vote wouldn't be in my district."

Chcrrm

you rvere St. for me. You

There is no personal charm so great as the charm of a cheerful temperament. It is a great error to suppose this comes entirely by nature-it comes quite as much by culture'
