Observations
Of An
Old Timer
——■—By J. K. OSBORNE— ■'
I never vu strong on trying to
change a man on hli idea of poll*
Sloe or religion. I was entirely sat*
tafled I had the proper artlole for
me, but was not positive that what
X had to offer, was the brand that
would suit Ms complexion best.
Bad luck is public property, as I
see it. Anyway there’s a lot of it
Using around loose that dont seem
to belong to anyone in particular.
Young men, when you get mar
ried and start out on life's warfare
as a lieutenant, you need not hope
for a promotion.
Frank Mull and 1 used to argue
which of two old friends of ours
were worth the most to civilisation
and the worth—Jake or Dan. Jake
was all head but no heart. Dan was
all heart but no head. Take the case,
gentlemen.
Look the world over and you will
never find a perfect horse or a per
fect man. How would you expct to
find a perfect man when you can't
find one who is half as good as he
can bet
The feller who has done a char
itable act and kept It a secret is
oourtlng companionship of the an
gels.
If we confess our sins, and joy
fully forgive our enemies, we have
made a good start. Not that. I am
a preacher, but I do have Ideas of
my own.
Borne guy said way back in early
days that "it’s a wise child that
knows Its own father.” AH right,
what’s wrong with the wisdom of a
father who knows his own child?
Especially, In times of depression,
; and things. Figger It out boys and
send in the answre.
