Influence of n L.aurh.

Do you know, my dear, that there is alb
solutely nothing that will help you to bear
the ills of life so well as a good laugh
Laugh all you can, and the small imps in
blue who love to pre-empt their quarters
in a human heart will scatter away like
owls before the music of flutes. There are
few of the minor difficulties and annoy
ances that will not dissipate at the charge
of the nonsense brigade. If the clothes
line breaks, if the cat tips over the milk
and the dog elopes with the roast, if the
children fall into the mud simultaneously
with the advent of clean aprons, if the new
girl quits in the middle of house cleaning,
and though you search the earth with can
dies you can find none TO take her place if
the neighbor in whom you have trusted
goes back on you and decides TO keep
chickens, if the chariot wheels of the unin-
vited guest draw near when you are out OF
provender, and the gaping of your empty
purse is like the untitled mouth of a young
robin, take courage if you have enough
sunshine in your heart 10 keep laugh on
your lips. Before good nature half the
cares of daily living will fly away like
midges before the wind; try it-Chicago
