M KINNEY. TEXAS, DEC. IM. 1924.
The wisest man has never changed a law of
nature or failed to reap as he sowed.
‘ The people who think < Christianity is a fail-
ure have never tried it.
Utusic hath charms to soothe the savage
breast,
‘To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak."
A wit observes that a truthful novel should
end thus, ‘and they lived serappily over aft-
er."'
. A Cleveland bank is providing all its em
ployees with firearms anil making expert shots
of them in order to safeguard the bank against
robbery. A well directed shot often has been
known to dampen the enthusiasm of a very
earnest burglar.
One of the wonders of the time is why some
of our rouged and lipstick flappers don't die of
painters’ colic.

Miss Margaret Campbell, of Taylorville, III.,
is well and happy at the age of 96. " Because
I have never been bothered with a man,” she
given as a reason.
The splendid supper given to the under
privileged boys of McKinney Friday night by
the Rotarians in accordance with a custom of
theirs of many years standing is but a prophesy
and foretaste of the time when there will be
no underprivileged boys in McKinney; that is,
not underprivileged enough to lose any of the
real opportunities that prepare for useful man-
hood. Increasingly, an enlightened manhood
is seeing that all boys have a fair chance to se-
ceed in the world.

always take time to look in the dictionary when
I need a word have only a school dictionary.
Hence, I frequently resort to idiom. But what's
the difference if you "get me?”
One of the reasons I don't like that big blow-
out the citizens of Austin are going to pull off
in January is that I can’t get out of my mind
the fiasco of Jack Walton's tenure after his big
barbecue stunt.
