An everyday philosopher says: The
man who laughs is the sympathetic man.
A man who laughs with one in prosperity
is the one who weeps with him in ad-
versity. The man who never laughs,
but wears perpetual unmeaning smile,
is the man whose heart is cold toward his
fellows, while the hearty, sympathetic
natures that greet every ludicrous in
cident with hearty laughter, are the ones
whose chords are touched by every pa
