Those who employ their time ill are the first to complain of its shortness. That experience teaches fools, is a lie; for the man who profits by his experience is the wise one. Wiser still is he who profits by the experience of others. The fool profits not by his own experience or that of others. Higgins; “For goodness’ sake, Wiggins, why do you wobble around the sidewalk so. Oo home, you’re finalered.” Wiggins (indignantly) ; “ I’m not! But I can’t manage these new bflggy trousers in a head wind, you know, and have to tack to get the wind on my beam.” Husband (who has a little engagement on hand): I.shall be at the office very late to-night, my dear, posting my books, and you had better not sit up for me.” Wife: “Very well, John. When I get ready to go to bed, I'll just say good night to you through the telephone.”
