Such Is Life,
Man com es into this world w ith

the big g irls kiss him. and when be
he is big the little girls kiss him.
If he is active in politics, it is for

politics, be is no good to his coun

he Is d ish o nest; if he rem ains poor,
he is a bad m anager. If he needs
credit, he can 't get it; if he is
j prosperous, everyone w ants to do
l som ething for him. If he is r e
ligious, he is a hypocrite. If he
do esn 't go to church, he is a h a rd

It Is for show ; If he doesn't give to
ch arity , he is a stingy cuss. If he
is affectionate, he is a soft speci
men if he doesn't care for anyone,
he is cold-hearted. If he dies young,
th e re was a g rea t fu tu re before

missed his calling. If he saves
