Opinions of a Pessimist. The man who has never been a vice president at a mass meeting is justined in concluding that his life has indeed been. a failure. Some women are good largely for tne purpose of spiting others who would like to talk about them. There is a place in this world that everyone is made to fill, but most of the square pegs seem to be drawn toward the end where the round holes are. The man who has never made a fool of himself over a woman still has a painful experience before mm. One reason why some women never learn to make their own clothes is that they don't have to earn the money which they pay to dressmakers. SUBSCRIBE TO THE PATRIOT.
