T It does little good to, say burny to the child who has never touched something hot, and afterwards' it is unneces- sary. l y Kissing is a commerce--an interchange of bugs fkissing bugsj that no one trust will ever control. Some people's idea of economy is to spend their money like a prodigal, but Worry more when it is gone. Almost everybody has a train of thought, and many are on fast lines. It is a burning shame to leave a gold crown in the iire too long. p The child who tries to mock is having a real mock trial. The Woman who makes a practice of kissing every de- fenseless child she meets is either very unthoughtful or has a most revengeful disposition. 'Bad habits, like Indianapolis girls, are easily acquired but hard to break away from. The fact that one vvants to know, by experience does not necessarily prove him to be a disbeliever. You can judge a man by his clothes--if he is a union man. y , ' Many people are so prudish that total innocence shocks them. To the one who would warn the wild young man: V 'T is no crime to be poor, but it isn't nice. W Adieu! Think I've imposed on yo-u 'long enough. 1 HOWARD R. RAPER.

The qevngnnsis ziglnniana mental Qtollege S1904 annual X And God spake this to man- Eat bread by the sweat of thy brow. But, to judge by the actions of some, they took the last word to be Frau. T If a man firmly believes that Providence favors fools only, he is under the impression that it has slighted him. Boys who steal jam generally feel a jar other than the one in which the fruit is stored. Ladies who have fleshy husbands are literally living on the fat of the land. A woman generally goes up in the air on her wedding tour. Silence is golden, but gold is' not silent, if money talks. Money makes the mare go, and 'vice versa. k Most boys are 'too green to thrash. We would like to believe the stories we hear of ninety- pound men who used to weigh about two hundred, but they are too thin. A i People say they can not get along with cranks: That's true. They generally stay several decades behind them. The woman who sits up late at night waiting to kiss her husband, who has the hiccoughs, is up to snuff. One sparker is sufficient to propel an automobile, but two can scarcely guide one. ' The greatest drawback to the use of the airship is gravity. 4 i It takes the man with cents to play the penny machine. One of the few lasting trades is shoemaking. Paris Green is a great thing for the blues. 1

'-l.r 'Y' As he sat there, wondering why he u 5 had to have all the loose, bad luck, the u door opened and in walked a man, who had a trouble of his own, that needed extracting. The dentist hesitated a little at first. But, p-shawl why not? His left hand only was disabled, the other was all right, 'and, yes, he could extract the man's tooth just as well as not. x . So, after a hasty examination, he pronounced the organ of mastication a worthless one, and started to administer a little nitrous oxide gas. The man, being of a nervous tem- perament, complicated matters for the doctor by groaning loudly and squirming about like a man in stocks having his feet tickled. The fellow at last became more quiet, and the doctor was commencing to congratulate himself on the successful administration of the anaesthetic, when he found his patient was squeezing his sore hand, in a manner that might be likened to a Jeffries handshake. The fellow evi- dently thought he was drowning, and the doctor was sorry he wasn't. p The result was, that, at first, the tooth-jerker stood gasping for breath, the sweat standing out on his cold, white forehead in large beads.
