Tho Man Who Laughs.

The man whose ha hal reaches from
one end of the street to other may be the
fellow who scolded his wife and spanked
his baby before lie got his breakfast, but
his laughter is only the crackle of thorns
under the pot. The man who spreads
his laughter through his lfe-before
late breakfast, when he misses the train
when his wife goes visiting and he has
to eat a cold supper; the man who can
laugh when he finds a button off his
shirt; when the furnace fire goes out in
the night and both twins come down
with the measles at the same time-he's
the fellow that's needed. He never tells
his neighbors to have faith. Somehow
he puts faith into him.
He delivers no homilies; the sight of
his beaming face, the sound of his hap-
py voice and the sight of his blessed
daily life carry convictions that words
have no power to give. The blues Zee
from him as fog before the west wind;
he comes into his new home like flood
of sunshine over a meadow of blooming
butter>cnps, and his wife and children
blossom in his presence like June roses.
His home is redolent with sympathy
and love. The neighbor is better for his
life, and somebody will learn OF him that
laughter is better than tears. The world
needs this man. Why are thele so few
of them? Can he he involved? WHY is
he not in every house, turning rain into
sunshine and winter into summer all
round the year, until life is perpetual
season of joy?

CHICAGO, May 6.-As result of the tre
mendous rains of this week there ia grave
danger that the immense amount of sewage
now being discharged into tho lake will
reach the crib and pollute the city's water
supply. The officials hope the flood may
suhside in time to enable them to commence
pumping back into the Illinois and Mich

which perform this duty are idle water in
the canal being so high it sets into the
river and it is useless to use the pumps.
Water in the river today is several inches
higher than yesterday and the current
so strong that the moment of ves-
sells is dangerous. One collision
resulted to-day, in which sailor was
killed. In many city easements hoo Is re-

WASHINGTON, May G.---The house went
into committee of the whole on the river
and ha,bor bill. Caruth threw little
amusement into the proceedings by offer
ing an amendment appropriating $1,000
for the improvement Of Salt river, Ken
tucky, alluding to the advantage the ap-
preparation would bring to defeated cand-
dates for the presidency. After some
humorous comments the amendment WAS
defeated. Then Reed saw ali opportunity
to stir up Holman. and did SO BY moving
to strike out the appropriation of $4,000
for completing an emhankment on the
south side of the Great Miami river. In
sarcastic manner he called upon Holman,
chairman OF the committee on approptia-
tious. to rise and protest against this ex-
travagant expenditure. The gentleman
from Indiana had one redeeming trait--he
was so human that when it came to ap-
propriations for his own district the great
principles of economy, retrenchment and
reform were no more applicable to him
than to tho meanest of representatives.
After sharp coiloquy with Holman Reed's

Harrison's candidacy for denomination and
re-Hlection, an incident In connection with
che organization Of his cabinet is now in
order. and it's accuracy can be vouchsd for,
II necessary. When John Wanamaker was
engagedin raising his big campaign fund
to purchase Harrison's election, among the
many men he saw and solicited subgcrip-
tions from was Mr.. Henry Willard, then
president of the Northern Pacific railroad.
Lie asked MIR. Willard for sub
scriptiou, big subscription, naming the
amount. Mr.. Willard doubted the expe-
diency Of giving it, and stated to Wana-
maker that there were certain concessions
that his road needed, and that he was not
sure how Harrison stood regarding them.
"Oh, that will be all right said Wann-
maker, II will guarantee you that any thing
in that line that you want will be recon-
mended by the administration if Harrison
is elected."
How do you know?" said Willard.
sWanarnaker. with that peculiar knowing
look that he puts on when very much in
earnest. said: "Mr. Willard, if l su cceed
in raising 100000 for the Harrison cam
paign fund will be appointed to place in
his cabinet if he is elected, and I think
under those circumstances I can assure you
that the matter you want will be attended
to.''
Henry Willard told this to William w.
Foulke of Indiana, soon after the presi-
dental election Of 1883. nd as soon as Mr.
Foulke heard Wanamaker's name seriously
mentioned in connection with place in
the cabinet he went to Gen. Harrison and
oandidly told him what Willard said to
him.
''And now, General Harrison" said Mr..
Foulke, you cannot possibly afford to ut
man in your cabinet who has already ad-
mitted that he had purchased his right to
seat in your cabinet by raising an enormous
campaign fund.-
General Harrison remained silent, was
evidently very much embarrassed. but did
not say that he would or would not put
Wanamaker in his cabinet, nor did he con-
firm or deny the truth Of what Wanamaker
told Mr.. Willard. AS everybody knows,
Wanamaker was put in the cabinet. SO
Benjamin must have kept his word to b i'm.
Mr. Eagike and Mr.. Willard are both ready
to testify to the truth of this statement.
