Pointed Paragraphs from a Chicago Daily News Fragment
When doctors disagree the coroner sometimes decides. A hungry parrot nears becoming a hollow mockery. Be sure you are right then let your wife share her own way. A woman may think her husband is a failure but marriage never. A pretty girl thinks every mirror she sees is worth looking into. The old black diagonal now shines unseen under the charitable alster. An enterprising Chicago baker gives a can opener with each pie. To marry for money and miss it is less painful than to marry for love and miss it. When a man is in trouble his friends console themselves with thinking it will be a lesson for him. An old bachelor says the love that endures forever is founded upon the rocks of the girl's father. Nature works wonders and the enterprising dime museum manager gathers them in and works the public at 10 cents per head.
