Not A Success

The experiment of strict enforcement of the anti-trust laws has not proved a success. What we need is power to act, not prohibition against action. We cannot longer tolerate a situation that makes it impossible for men to carry on their trade with profit to themselves and usefuliress to others.-James

"Yes, sir," said Miss Blogg, "I fired three stenographers see ?"

ttYes, sir."

"All right-take a letter."

meekly. for revising my letters,

The next morning Mr. O. J. Squizz of the Sguizz Flexible Soap Company received the following:

Read that over, no nwer mind, I won't waste my time on that egg, I'll look over the carbon tomorrow. Sign my name. And say-how about you and me going out to lunch?"

A Measuring Stick

A man should so live that at the close of the day he can repeat: I have not wasted my day.

A GOLFER?

Methought I saw a genial soul, Whose face beamed jollity. He raised his club as if to strike, And only hit the tee.

"Now how could anyonF' said I "Oh, go to Hell", said he.

Reciprocity

Could we but regard ourselves as interdependent, as nations that must trade with each other, that must lend to each other, that must trust one another, that must grin and take on the spirit of reciprocal friendship, we would give courage to the faltering voices of statesmen who see the course we should traverse but who are not emboldened yet by an enlightened opinion to set their faces to the horizon that beckons them.-David Lawrence.

Using Her Own Stuff

Mother: "Johnnie, I know thousands of little boys and girls who would be glad to eat that spinach."

She Only Had One Husband

The big Irish woman went into the gents furnishing store and told the salesman she wanted a collar for her husband. She selected it, and told him to wrap it up.

"Do you only want one?" asked the salesman, superciliously.

"Certainly, you fat head", she replied briskly; "\Mhat do you think I am-a bigamist?"

Never Dun A Gentleman

The retired storekeeper was giving sound advice to a new f,nan in the business.

"When I was in business," he said, "I made it a rule nevef to dun a gentleman."

"But what did you do if someone failed to pay up?" he was asked.

"Oh, in that case," he replied, "I decided he was not a gentleman, and I made him pay."
