Show FRANK NORRlS' WIT. H (These were in Norris' "Salt and Sincerity" B department in Critic for April, 1902, a long time B before "The Cynic's Calendar" was published; flB for that matter Carolyn Wells had "misplaced B proverbs" out before it, top.) B Nothing succeeds like distress. , B What is sauce for the gander may vq saUcy for B the goose. 1 You must catch your hare before you can B cook for him. B Birds of a feather occasionally prerer to flock B B The man who has a large heart cannot have M a light one. B If you have a wife and love her, tell her so M tell her half a dozen times a day. This was said M by a bachelor. B If you mind your own business you won't work M more than eight hours a day. M The bigger a little man is, the less he amounts A disciple is a man who does not understand. M He thinks that he is on, but he isn't. M "My son," said the philosopher on his death- H bed, "my son, two things you should never do. jH First, do not endeavor to pry into the future, for H If you will only wait you shall know all. And H second, do not chase after women, for if you do H not they will chase after you. Farewell." H One who knows does not talk; one who talks H does not know. M People who take pains never to do any more tli an they get paid for, never get paid for any H ; more than they do. H It may be that there is a bigger bit of political H clap-trap than the' statement that all men are B created free and equal, but I cannot just recall H it at the moment. H "They belong to- the landed aristocracy." "In- H deed! When did they land?" B Some writers are famous for the books they H have written; others for the books they ought B not to have written. B There is a subtle sympathy produced by B marked passages. Put faint pencil marks, then B lend a volume and you will know your fate. B A woman may be a mystery to a man and to B herself, but never to another woman. B The average womani wishes to be Idealized B and strongly objects to being understood. B Relieved of the presence of that social pace- B maker, the chaperone, the disciples or Plato are B wont to take long walks, and further on, they B spend whole days in the country.
