Folly of Profanity

Although the use of some expletives decently and in order may often be justified, it is something we should all try to avoid. Thoroughly well balanced men and women never let their nerves become wrought up to a pitch where swearing is necessary. They appreciate that no matter how good scientific reasons there may be for expletives their use is a confession of weakness.


Certainly Suggestive

Perhaps the old fellow who first pointed out that a man's home is his castle had in mind the way it's almost constantly beleaguered by persons wishing to sell you brooms, potatoes and other commodities that you don't want any more of than you already have. — Columbus (Ohio) Journal.


Amended the Author

Little Lola had been given a short poem to commit to memory by her teacher. In it these lines occurred: "Sail on, ye mariners, the night is gone." Later when requested to repeat the poem, she rendered the lines thus: "Sail on, ye married men, the light is gone."
