Pointed Paragraphs From the Chicago Daily News
Cheer up it will be cooler in December. Give some rope enough and they will rope you in. Usually when a man's ship does come in it's in ballast. It isn't difficult to please people who know what they want. When it comes to inventing excuses a woman demonstrates intellectual superiority. Many a moan has a kick coming because his mule wasn't born an automobile. Nearly every man thinks the unlucky month for marrying is the one he selected. A suffragette should never marry a man unable to cook or sew on buttons.
