What moW Cannot buy.
Is the dollar the best friend there is
in the world? Some people think so.
They think they can buy smiles, when
these smiles are really only grins.
They think they get hand-
graps but they are only handshakes
cold and clammy. Dollars can buy a
house, but they can’t buy a home.
One may get we alth a marriage certif
cate but not a husband or wife. Ye

friendship has slipped off his finger

The good things of this world are al
ways the cheapest. Spring water costs
less than corn whiskey ; a box of ci-
gars will buy two Bibles; a gallon of
old brandy costs more than a sack 0
flour ;’a full hand at poker often costs
a man more in twenty seconds than
his church subsciption amounts to in
thirty years. A town election costs
more than a revival of religion, peop1 :
