If any purchaser cannot find room for all this herd in his pocket-edition apart- ment, let him hand over a cow or two to an unemployed neighbor. But what about the goats? Oh, never! mind them, let the employed continue | to be the goats!—Chicago News. Bachelors seldom become great| men. They haven't anybody to shoo| away the curious.

BRIGHT PUPIL ANSWERS “Now, who can give an example of nothing?” the teacher inquired.

Still, it’s no worse to leave diseased | bodies at the mercy of quacks than to Jeave diseased minds at the mercy of lawyers and judges. PASSING OBSERVATION “Depression” is a time when people stop to ask, “How much is it?” before saying, “Wrap it up.”—Cincinnati In- quirer.
