WITH THE SAGES.
Liberality consists rather in giving
seasonably than much. Cicero.
People seldom improve when they
have no model but themselves to copy
after. Goldsmith.

That alone can be called true refine

purifying the manners by Improving
the Intellect. Coleridge.
Remember that life Is neither pain
nor pleasure; it Is serious business, to
be entered upon with courage and in
a spirit of self-sacrlflce. De Tocque
ville. No true man can live a half life
when he has genuinely learned that lt
Is only a half life. The other half
the higher half must haunt him.
Pilllps Brooks.
Life Is no idle dream, but a solemn
reality, based on and encompassed by
eternity. Find out your work, and
stand to It; the night cometh when no
man can work. Carlyle.
Thoughts of virtue lead to virtuous
actions; acts of virtue ripen Into hab
its; and the goodly and permanent re
sult Is the formation or establishment
of a virtuous character. Chalmers.
Experience serves to prove that the
worth and strength of a state depend
far less upon the form of its institu
tions than upon the character of Its
men; for the nation Is only the aggre
gate of the Individual conditions, and
civilization itself is but a question of
personal Improvement. Samuel
Smiles.
NEXT MORNING PHILOSOPHER.
A good listener is never without
friends.
An incessant talker is seldom with
out enemies.
There are times when the fool-killer
needs an assistant.
Often people who ask for public
Judgment want to take an appeal.
When a man realizes his folly the
chances are even that be will amend
lt.
"Out of sight out of mind" does not
apply to the detective or the tax In
quisitor. When a man takes the public Into
bis confidence he should be careful
not to betray It.
"Fine feathers make fine birds," but
without the feathers no one would
care to harbor them.
The man who does not share his
troubles with his neighbors 1b a stole
worthy of emulation.
The romance of love Is a flower
that may produce either a crabapple
or perchance a nectarine.
It requires great caution to decide
a dispute between two friends without
losing one or both of them.
Admittedly there Is no standard of
greatness, hence the difficulty of de
ciding who are the truly great.
When a woman sues to recover for
breach of promise and receives a ver

ETIQUETTE OF THE AUTOMO
BILE. Never Incur danger to yourself, but
do not regard the safety of others in
the least.
When you run over little children
pay for them, thus avoiding ail un
pleasantness. Don't on any account run down a
policeman, as it awakens them and
makes them cross.
Avoid all billy goats. The fac t is
a goat smells nearly as bad as in
auto, and can butt nearly as bard.
Always blow your born while pass
ing a hospital as It rouses the in
mates and keeps them from sleeping
too much.
Old people are harder to kill than
young ones, as they are usually totiKh
er, but their bones break easier, hence
they muUu gooA sMrt.
An auto fiend has the right of way
on any road and any other human be
ings passing along do so at their own
risk. Always bear that In mind.
If a farmer stops you and wants to
(hew the rag, get bis whiskers
tangled In the gearing and start sud
denly, and you'll have lots of fun.
If you happen to start a runaway
r.cver stop to see the finish, although
you can safely watch It for consider
able time. To bo caught w'len tho
icmalns are picked up Is often em
barrassing. The latest fashion Is to give your
machine a nice, neat name, thus doing
away with suggestive appellations. An
eastern man calls his auto "The Soul
Holster." Another man, with euphony
in his soul, calls his machine "Tho
Heaven Filler."
