Cheyenne transporter. [volume] (Darlington, Indian Terr.) 1879-1886, 1883-04-26

n paper called Inc trOlUe0 hule. has
an article on smiles which contains the
following:
The world is suffering for smiling
faces. The age is too intense in the
business direction, too flippant in the
social lines, too sarcastic in its political
tendency, too aimless in its religious
life, too heartless in its literature. The
world needs more smiles and fewer
frowns, more sunshine and less light
ming. 1t costs nothing to allow smile
to play restfully upon the features when
trading or voting, when talking or read
ing. 1t pays infinitely more than il
costs in friendship, in finance, in indi-
vidual growth. We can win more peo-
pie by a smile than we can scare by
frown, Just as the sunshine grows more
trees than the lightning Skaters"
No paragraph ever contained more
truth than the above. A good, healthy
smile, one that comes naturally, with
out being sent for, or coaxed. one that
seems to bubble up among the dimples
like the water at the bottom of Il spring,
showing pearly teeth like the little peb-
bles thrown up by the water of the
spring, smile that goes ripping along
the face like the aforesaid water among
the dasies and water cress, or on its
way to the sea, is worth more to the
world than n gold mine. Who is there
in the world who has not been made
better by smile? A smile is legal
tender anywhere, and n person who
smiles naturally, is rs safe from harm
as it is possible to be. Men who
grow tired of their homes, sick of
the world, and ready to give up the
battle, can be strengthened and made
ready for the fight of another day by Il
smile, If 1t comes without being sent
for. One man, with a good natured
smile, can 90 into crowd of grumbl-
ing, growing, business men who
think the country is all going to the
dogs, and change the whole atmos-
phere in ten seconds. A man with a
good smile can stop a fight between
angry men, when policemen would fail.
The smile of a good woman, when she
comes upon party of gossipers of her
own sex, will change the subject in a
moment, and make them ashamed of
themselves. Sometimes we think it
would pay city to hire more smiling
faces and less policemen to keep the
peace. With a hundred good, natural
smilers walking around, going into
places where men were liable to pet in
a hot box, with pleasant word where
it would do the most good, there would
be very few rows. OF course it would
be necessary for our smiler to be able
to back his smile with muscle, so if an
unruly person did not take kindly to
the smile, and Knocked it around unded
the smiler'S ear with chair or n
bung starter, the smiler could wipe the
HOOr with the wretch There wolld be
times when a smile would fail to do its
work, as there are times now when q
smile fails to accomplish all that it de-
slreS to, but take it on the whole the
smile would be better than the club or
the revolver. There are some men who
are continually and constitutionally de-
VOID OF smiles, who would be sick if
they should accidentally smile, and
such men should be compelled to pass
two hours day in the presence of good.
slngle-handed smilers, and learn to be
happy. If there is anything in the
world that has more power than a
smile, when it is shot off from the right
KIND OF gun, we have never seen it.
The smile of a girl will draw Young
man from his mother, and from bad
company, 1t will teach him TO be q
man, and he will, if he loves the Girl.
DO nothing that would chase the smile
away. The smile of mother can CON
quer the wayward child, and compel it
10 come into camp to be spanked or
carcsSed. The smile of n teacher can
90 more with pupil than bundle of
hazel brush. A good. old fashioned.
natural, unaffected smile costs NOTHING,
