Only the heartless are hopeless.
There is no short cut to happiness.
When love labors it needs no fore

Too many men reckon time by pay
days. A little silence may save a lot of

Repentance cannot tear up the roots
of the past.
There is no joy gained except
where joy Is given.
The opportunity is always ripe for
the man who is roady.
Judge a man's success by the meth--ds
he used in succeeding.
A man's success depends on what
he does with his failures.
No man reaches the stage of tri
umph but by the steps of trial.
Extravagant speeches are often
very economical with the truth.
It would he lovely if others esti
mated us ae we estimate ourselves.
Nobody makes any particular prog
ress by patting himself on tho back.

Most Fertile Cause of War.
A famous French political economist
drew up a statistical table some time
ago on this very quest ton, nnd. the
an sis showed that nine-tenths of
the whl'a wars have grown out of
quarrels lint arose directly from com
mercial disputes. No fewer than fifty
live wars wer. classified as civil; forty-one
wore wars of succession of
Crown claims; thirty under tho pre
tense of helping allies ; twenty-eight
were religious wars; twenty-four were
wars of retaliation; twenty-two were
for commercial rivalry; and eight on
points of honor.
