and lie ho gives you your moneys luo noys worth hut but john went away disgruntled ile he had bad purchased a cheap suit and expected it to wear na as well and to look as well as one tor for double or more tho the price you cant got mord than you pay for except by accident and accidents aro are not to bo be depended depend od upon thoro there Is a restaurant not far from my office where they servo serve wholesome food at reasonable prices the food Is good but oe e servi la Is rr rf r f r there are no finger lewis and the napkins aro are small but everything la Is scrupulously clean tho the restaurant gives you what you pay for yet many of the boarders are continually kicking they expect tile tho same quality of food and the samo same service tor for 40 cents that they would receive it they paid 1 or the restaurant serves a good 40 0 cent dinner it Is worth all you pay tor for it and no moro more on the train the other day I 1 overheard a stranger condemning the man who sold him a watch in tho the course of the conversation it leaked out that ho he had paid 10 tor for the timepiece and like it because it run as well as his bis brothers 60 watch the 10 cont cent moving picture house with vaudeville between the films ant likely to give you as good an acting show as you will receive choro the prices run from GO 50 cents to 1 yet half of the audiences compare the acts with those of higher priced houses it if you dout dont got get what you y ou pay for kick and kick hard it if you get what you pay for no matter what it la is keep your mouth shut the kicker Is one of tho the pushers of progress provided ho he kicks at things which should bo be kicked at criticism Is all right when you have something to criticize but this everlasting kicking and criticism when you aro are receiving all that you have paid tor for injures you and everybody with whom you come in contact take tho the weather for example lt it seem to suit more than a small portion of A the people and the majority are finding fault with it I 1 have a suspicion that kicking against the weather change it it it did id raise a fund tor for the establish ment ot of a weather kicking bureau when it rains let it ruin rain dont try to stop it buy an umbrella a raincoat and a pair of rubbers |
