Verts Pertinent and Impertinent. 



Good Fellows. 



Here's to all f,'ii(i(l fellows, friends. 



In this world and the next; 

 A toast I drink to you tonight — 



Good fellowship's my text. 



Not he who calmly takes your hand. 



In an idling hour, you know; 

 Not he who slaps you on the back 



As long as the highballs flow^ 



But the chap who speaks the kindly word 

 When things have all gone wrong; 



The fellow that smiles as he grasps your hand 

 And tells you life's a song. 



What if you know the sucker lies — 



What if he knows it, too; 

 There are times in life when the friend that 

 lies 



Is the only friend that's true. 



Cavil and rant, ye prudes that will. 



Of the evils of wine and gin — 

 But somehow the real true things we feel 



Slip out when the wine slips in. 



The fool is a fool, and the cad is a cad. 



Wliiehever God means him to be, 

 Eiut the man that's a man won't forget he's a 

 man. 



Though he's out on a hell of a spree. 



So drink to this toast from your hearts, my 

 friends. 



From a heart to a heart let it run — 

 Hero's to good fellows all over the world — 



Their health, and God bless every one! 



Get a Transfer. 



If you are on the gloomy line, 



Get a transfer! 

 If you're inclined to fret and pine. 



Get a transfer! 

 Get off the track of doubt and gloom. 

 Get on the sunshine train — there's room. 



Get a transfer! . — w. of O. 



■What's the Use? 

 It is impossible to 

 defeat an ignorant 

 man in an argument. 



Good Thing. 



Money talks, and 

 very often it stops 

 talk. 



Grasping. 



Give some men a 

 fair start and they 

 will take an unfair 

 advantage. 



Follows Suit! 

 When a wise man 

 does a favor, he for- 

 gets it; when a fool 

 receives a favor he 

 does likewise. 



Both Fail. 

 A woman will keep 

 an expense account 

 just about as long as 

 a man will keep a 

 diary. 



But Only He. 



Cheek is often mis- 

 taken for tact by the 

 person who makes use 

 of it. 



Poor Success. 

 Many a man's suc- 

 cess leaves a bad 

 taste in his mouth. 



Not the Same. 



Notoriety is often 

 mistaken for fame. 



The Point. 

 Opportunity makes 

 the man — after the 

 man has made the op- 

 portunity. 



A SUGGESTION. 



Don't Fret. 

 The calamities we 

 actually face are as 

 nothing when com- 

 pared to those we 

 manufacture. 



True. 

 Life 's real com- 

 jiensations do not 

 come in pay envel- 

 opes. 



The Difference. 



Tlie only apparent 

 difference between 

 some men and sponges 

 is that sponges will 

 take water. 



Not Worth Much. 



A compliment given 

 apropos is only half 

 a compliment. 



Alwajrs. 



Overcautious men 

 i iivariably look be- 

 fore they creep. 



■Very Few. 



There are few peo- 

 ple who make good in 

 an emergency. 



Intoxicating. 



Beauty is worse 

 than booze; it intoxi- 

 cates both the holder 

 and the beholder. 



Just an Excuse. 

 An apology is a 

 poor excuse at best. 



Lumbermen who do not recognize the value of rules for the universal and uniform inspec- 

 tion of Hardwood Lumber should have recourse to this simple expedient. 



Constancy. 



Constancy is sup- 

 posed to be a virtue, 

 but in advertising it 

 is a necessity. 



Exchange. 

 The world owes you a living but you owe 

 the world a life. 



Everybody. 



Everybody ■wants to boss .somebody, and it 

 is not unusual to find somebody who wants 

 to boss everybody. 



Usually 'Wins. 



The man who is determined 

 works without a time table. 



to succeed 



Gift of Gab. 



A man is not necessarily full of bright 

 ideas because he can hand out a long line 

 of talk. 



The Only 'Way. 



Cultivate the habit of forgetting if you 

 would be happy. 



The Consequence. 



People who try to keep up appearances 

 often find it necessary to keep up disap- 

 pearances later on.
