SENTENCE SERMONS.
Anxiety is good for nothing if we
can't turn it into a defense.?
George Eliot.
Do not grasp at the stars, but do
life's plain, common work as it ,
comes, certain that daily duties and
daily bread are the sweetest things
of life.?Lord Houghton.
To him who has an eye to see
there can be no fairer spectacle than
that, of a man who combines the possession
of moral beauty in his soul
with outward beauty of form corresponding
and harmonizing with the
former because the same great pattern
enters into both.?Plato.
The laughter of girls is. and ever
was, anions the delightful sounds of
earth.?De Quincev.
Plato is my friend, but a greater
friend is truth. -Latin Proverb.
You'll find at last this maxim true.
Fools are the game which knaves
pursue. ?Gay.

t The weather man evidently has
t
stepped out and left the front gate
open.
+
282 to 128 is a right good showing,
we should say, a right smart
majority.
+
What has become of the oldfashioned
court which used to convict
people of murder?
? ?
Good morning. Mayor Stewart, we
know it won't, but we hope your
path will be strewn with roses.

At least we can lorget tor the

things- F instance, the the

Mrs. I?eSaulles was acquitted.
Miss Varney was acquitted. Gaston
Means was acquitted. This acquitting
business is being over-worked.
+
The state in the Means case seem
ed bent on establishing that Means
is a bad man; so bent on that, in
fact, it forgot to prove that Means
killed Mrs. King.

"Every lump of coal added to
what you've got makes just a little
more. The same principle applies
to a stick of wood," says the Greensboro
News. And it also works the
other way.
+
"Distinction of rank in army solely
for military discipline," says Sec^
rotary Maker. Distinction of rank is
all right?it's snobbishness that
Senator Overman Is going after, and
there's a wide difference between
the two.
Federal Fuel Administrator Garfield
sanctions the closing of all theatres
and other places of amusement
until after the holidays on account
of the shortage of coal. There's no
telling how far this fuel famine is
going to take us.
