Peace

I know the beds of Eastern princes and the luxurious couches of Occidental plutocrats, but under the rafters of a farmhouse, where the mud-wasp,s nest answers for a Rembrandt and the cobweb takes the place of a Murillo, there is a feather-bed into which one softly sinks until his every inch is soothed and fitted, and settling down and farther down falls into sweet unconsciousness, while the screech-owl is calling from the moonlit oak and frost is falling upon the asters. Stocks may fuctuate and panic sieze the town, but there is one man who is in peace.

T. Morris.

'TWAS EVER THUS

"fsn't this an ideal place for a picnic?,'

"Yes ! Fifty million insects couldn't be wrong.r,

Culture is that which remains with a man when he has forgotten all he learned.

-Edouard Herriot.

BILL WROTE THIS !

Sigh no more, ladies; sigh no more; Men were deceivers ever,. One foot in sea, and one on shore, To one thing constant never; Then sigh not so, but let them go, And be you blithe and bonny, Convefting gll your souls of woe fnto Hey.nonny nonny.

-Shakespeare.

When a man has come to the Turnstiles of Night, all the creeds in the world seem to him wonderfully alike and colorless.

NOBLE OF' HIM

-Kipling.

Rastus: "Did brudder Brown gib de bride away?,, Sam: 'lNo sah ! He's gwine let de groom fine dat out fuh hisse'f."

..THE HAPPIEST HEART''

By John Vance Cheney

Who drives the horses of the sun Shall lord it but a day; Better the lowly deed were done, And kept the humble way.

The rust will find the sword of fame, The dust will hide the crown; Ay, none shall nail so high his name Time will not tear it down.

The happiest heart that ever beat Was in some quiet breast

That found the common daylight sweet, And left to Heaven the rest.

Wait A Minutet

"Who was that girl you had at the Riveters' Ball last night?"

"That was my fiancee. Do you want an introduction?,'

"No. But the next time you see her ask her if she remembers what I did with my vest, will you?,,

-Pine Echoes.

The ladder of life is full of splinters, but they always prick the hardest when we're sliding down.

-William L. Brownell.

WHY HE DIDN'T JINE

"Son, how come you didn't jine de lodge?"

"Huh, de'nishiation wuz too strong fuh me."

"How come?tt

"Dey said dey would have to scrutinize mah credentials thoroughly an' Ah don't want no hawspital work done on mah sweet body."

"Ah don't'blame you."

If you wish to appeai agreeable in society you must consent to be taught many things which you already know.

-Lavater.
