The Philocolrhy of Mr. Ptp

In the Lumber business I has always figgered that there was only one kind of Aristocrecy an that were the ARIS9TOCREICY OF BRAINS an of which I has ever knowcd Orat I HAS THE MOST of, but since some of them Saw Mills has got to rallying around a STANDARD an is usin Rubber Eamps "Coats ofArrrs" I want to remind everyboddy that I has a Coat of Arms myself which is a Hand Saw an A Paint Brush an, jest watch me win "the battle" that is bein aggertated by removin all them Rubber Stamp Marks that is put on enny kind of Lumber that I buys.

My way, always, is to SELL THEM FIRST AN TRADE AFTERWARDS, SELL THEMWHATTHEY WANT AN GIVE THEMWHATTHEY WILL TAKE, an,when as usual there is close competition in buyin an I tqows THE PRICEONLY is goin to count I is TOO WISEto guote on QU.dLITY an only quotes on SIZED TWO SIDES FINISH, DRESSED & MATCHED

A Smile

Nothing on earth can smile, b

Gems may fash reflected li but w a diamond fash compared with an and flash?

Flowers cannot This is a charm that even they cannot claim. It i2*fie prerogative of mafr. It is the color which love weaTd and cheerfulness, and joy-these three.

It is the in, the windows of the face by which the heart that it is at home and waiting.

A face smile is like a bud that cannot blossom, and dried up on the stalk.

Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both-more bewitching than either.

Bargains

Thpre are no bargains

On the counter sales of life. We think so

But some unexpected day, We find our purchase is A worn and shoddy thing, So, after all, in that "long past" we pay. There are no bargainp

In the counter sales of life, But time alone, can teach us how to choose, Can show that What seemed loss was really gain, And where we bought for little, we shall lose.

KIND crs

Let every dawn of be to you as the beginning be to you as its close, then of life, and every setting let every one of these lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing for others, some goodly strength yourself.-John Ruskin. or knowledge gained

KEEP ME WORTHY

However humble my path

Or the lowly trains I have There's a child that bases faith in me, There's a dog that I'm God.

Lord, keep me

Lord, keep me

And humble, defiled, Lest I lose in the sight of the dog, Or the wi Lest

The a dog will mourn for its fallen God, a child, for its lost belief.

A Ethic

They had been discussing ethics in the High School. Youthful Morris didn't quite get it all. He came home and asked:

"Papa, what is an ethic?"

For the moment the father, too, was stumped, but eventually he worked out the answer:

"Suppose, Morris, you sell a suit for $75 wtrat is a regular $50 seller. The ethic is, should you tell your partner about the $252"-Nation's Business.

A THREE TOAD TREE TOAD'S ODE help me he isn't hell Is that I smell?"

A tree toad loved a she toad That lived in a tree. She was a 3-toed tree toad, But a Z-toed toad was he. The 2-toed tree toad tried to win The she toad's friendly nod; For the 2-toed tree toad loved the ground That the 3-toed tree toad trod. But vainly the Z-toed tree toad triedHe couldn't please her whim, In her tree toad bower, with her V-toed power, The she toad vetoed him.
