SNAP SHOTS IN SEASON,
SMILES cost nothing and can be worn in al
sorts of weather.

SMILES cost nothing and can be worn in all
sorts of weather.
WE are good natured after all, aren't wet
How we do prance and rear, rip and tear shout
and fume during political dispute and then
quietly take our medicine-settle down as if
nothing had transpired to ruffie the bosom of
the sea in which we swim. We go deliberately
at the work of turning and disturbing the cur
rent, and while in the whirl of excitement
claw each other numerically, but after the ma
jority shows us where we were wrong we hum
bly, bow to their superior strength and shoulder
to shoulder plod on to the same old music. Yes
terday invective and argument, to-day laugh
and chaff; yesterday ist-shaking. to-day hand
shaking: yesterday imaginary foes, to-day
real friends-a complete reversal be-
tween the sinking and the rising OF
the sun. Perhaps all of US do not
go to either extreme, to be sure, but a good
many do. The lockers on are plentiful at the
start, but they get in at the DEATH and all
mingle more Ur less in the riot and rally right
royalty when the pipe of peace is passed
around. OF course a few-fortunately a slim
minorlty-carly their bitterness beyond the
ballot box and look upon the citizen who diff
fered with them as q personal enemy. These
refuse to be comforted. They pout and sulk on
the outside OF the merry crowds made up to-
weak mortals are they-mere wandering
refugees in tie land Of withered hopes and
blighsed antiGipations. But they are soon
brushed aside and lost in The forest of
fellowship. So the good humor becomes uni
versal. A hoarse shout over there produces a
clear la ugh over here. And how catching the
laugh is, to be sure. Thus we sink our family
quarrels out Of sight. The shadow of the past
cannot shut out the sun of the present. We
are built to taI.e part in row or danee-to be
driven by bully or led by child. Nothing
sits long or heavily upon u.s. 1t is easier to
tickle than to torture us. So everything has
its humorous side, and that's the side that
seems ever turned toward us. And isn't it
better thus?
If you have u bright idea don't hold it until
it rusts.
RETURNS from all the voting precincts show
that the bullet is no longer accompanying the
ballot to the polls. This is a good sign.
THE best way to teach truth is to let the
world see what truth has done for you.
IF you walk in slippery places you must ex-
pect to fall.
THIS is not good year for coons, is itf
TIE citizens sly vote has sent
Some patriots to the rear;
No more this fascinating gent
On platform will appear.
Alone, mid friends who with him fen,
He seeks quiet place
To scan the bulletins that tell
Just how he lost the race.
No more he'll grasp you by the hand
And offer to stand treat;
Nor hear tho blast of brassy band,
See banners in the street.
His jig is up. his sun has set,
His dream of fame is DER;
He'll take quiet sneak, you bet,
Slide in, a,ad shut the door.
DON'T try to Uorm a secret out of a friend.
1t is safe with him, but you might not know how
to handle it
ONLY shallow women like iattery. but de-
served compliment is appreciated by the best
of them.
SOME of the men who went overheard on
Tuesday may settle down and become useful
and honorable citizens
EMERY he
Is up G,
All on account of X, w.
