taking your hands out of my pocket."

SUCCESS

Nothing succeeds like excess.--_Life_.

Nothing succeeds like looking successful.--_Henriette Corkland_.

Success in life often consists in knowing just when to disagree with
one's employer.

A New Orleans lawyer was asked to address the boys of a business school.
He commenced:

"My young friends, as I approached the entrance to this room I noticed
on the panel of the door a word eminently appropriate to an institution
of this kind. It expresses the one thing most useful to the average man
when he steps into the arena of life. It was--"

"Pull," shouted the boys, in a roar of laughter, and the lawyer felt
that he had taken his text from the wrong side of the door.

I'd rather be a Could Be
If I could not be an Are;
For a Could Be is a May Be,
With a chance of touching par.

Than a Might Have Been, by far;
For a Might Have Been has never been,
But a Has was once an Are.

'Tis not in mortals to command success,
But we'll do more, Sempronius,--

There are two ways of rising in the world: either by one's own industry
or profiting by the foolishness of others.--_La Bruyere_.

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.

--_Emily Dickinson_.

SUFFRAGETTES

When a married woman goes out to look after her rights, her husband is
usually left at home to look after his wrongs.--_Child Harold_.

"'Ullo, Bill, 'ow's things with yer?"

"Lookin' up, Tom, lookin' up."

"Igh cost o' livin' not 'ittin' yer, Bill?"

"Not so 'ard, Tom--not so 'ard. The missus 'as went 'orf on a hunger
stroike and me butcher's bills is cut in arf!"

I'd hate t' be married t' a suffragette an' have t' eat Battle Creek
breakfasts.--_Abe Martin_.

FIRST ENGLISHMAN--"Why do you allow your wife to be a militant
suffragette?"

SECOND ENGLISHMAN--"When she's busy wrecking things outside we have
comparative peace at home."--_Life_.

Recipe for a suffragette:

To the power that already lies in her hands
You add equal rights with the gents;
You'll find votes that used to bring two or three plunks,
Marked down to ninety-eight cents.

When Mrs. Pankhurst, the English suffragette, was in America she met and
became very much attached to Mrs
