FINDING FAULT No Mon is Faultless

There are faults in the fiber of us all.

Do you expect to find perfection in eyeryone you meet? Then you expect too much of human nature with its frailties and weaknesses.

The fault lies not so much in others, as in you for finding fault.

When you eat fish you lay the bones aside.

If you are intent on looking for the good in mortals, their shortcomings will cause you less annoyance. He is rich in friends who loves them for their virtues, and in spite of their faults.

It is a safe assumption that the man who demands perfection in others is himself far from perfect.

On the other hand, he who is the most nearly fawless will see the fewest faults in his fellows.

"Let him that is without fault cast the first stone."

"The brightest of all things, the sun, hath its spots."

"Faults are thick when love is thin."

"Forget the faults of others but remember your own."

"If the best man's faults were written on his forehead, it would make him pull his hat over his eyes." ***

DANGEROUS DAN McCROBE

A bunch of germs were hitting it up In the bronchial saloon;

Two bugs in the edge of the larynx Wete jazzing a ragtime tune.

Back in the teeth, in a solo game, Sat dangerous Ack-Kerchoo;

And watching his pulse was his light of love, The lady who's known as Flu.

Illusion

Before I went to Ireland

Her charm had captured me

Till every wind-swept mossy hill, River and lake and tree, Outgrowing each vague dream of mine Had seemed reality.

Remembering now that lovely land Of blossomy road and lane, Stone cottages with russet thatch And foxgloves in the rain, Reality is an afterglow

Wherein I dream again.

John Richard Moreland in Kaleidograph.

Boy: "Got too many z's in scissors."

Circumstantial Evidence

Even the cleverest and most perfect circumstantial evidence is likely to be at fault after all, and therefore ought to be received with great caution. Take the case of any pencil sharpened by any woman; if you have witnesses, you will find she did it with a knife; but if you take simly the aspect of the pencil, you will say she did it with her teeth.-Twain.
