The WOMAN WHO LAUGHS,

For good, everyday household angel
give US the woman who laughs. HeT
biscuit may not be always just right, and
she may occasionally burn her bread and
forget to replace the dislocated buttons,
but for solid comfort all day and every
day she is paragon. Home is not a
battlefield, nor life one long, unending
row.
The trick OF always seeing the bright
side. or II the matter has no bright
side, Of shining up the dark one, Is a
very important faculty, one OF The thing;
no woman should be without. We are
not all born with the sunshine in our
hearts, as the Irish prettily phrase it, but
we can cultivate cheerful sense OF
humor IL we only try.

ruE wAsre az ENERGY

The luxury Of modern civilization and
the substitution Of mechanical for bod

deplorable state Of things. OF course 1t
Is useless 10 argue against them. No
man who has grown accustomed to pate
de .Joie grds Is going back to sustain him
self on gluten bread while his salary
keeps up, and no man is going TO pay hall
q dollar to workman to fix his last sum-
mer's hat in two days when he can have
the job done In ten minutes for half the
money on an electrical machine.
But everybody must have noticed that
with the decrease Of occasion for manu-
al labor there Is compensating output
of energy In other directions. Man Is
constitutionally compelled to use his
muscles. He has lost the prehensile
caudality that adorned his thousand
times great-grandfather, because his
pursuit Of agriculture and small game
took him out Of the trees and gave him
an ampler footing on the ground; but
with this rather unimportant exception
he Is stronger, bigger and better equip
ped than the relative with which Mr..
Darwin has endowed him.
The fact that he has everything done
for him by machinery, except his breath
ing and part of his thinking. leaves
him with surplus Of bodily vitality.
Why not employ this energy that !:

Remark when you attend play or
concert how many people disturb the
performance by coughing. One man be-
gins to cough and the cough seems to be
contagious. The interruption Is great
nuisance, and there Is no need Of 1t, for
any one may cure y cough with the
Pineola Balsam, which costs twenty-five
cents. 1t sOothes the Inflammation In
the throat, and loosens the mucus which
clogs the air passages. A few doses Of
Ely's Pineola Balsam stop cough and
heal sore throat.

FIGHT WITH A SENATOR
Encounter in the Nebraska
Legislature
LONG WHISPERS PULLED
The Sergeant at Arms Had a Lively
Time
1t Was Case Of r1uch Ado About Nothing and
all Because the Senator Wouldn't
Come to Order

OMAHA, Neb., March 2s.-A special to
the Bee from Lincoln says:
The Senate was the scene of great con-
fusion this afternoon by personal en-
counter between Senator Stewart and Ser
geant-at-Arms Stewart. which precip-
tated free fight between number of
Senators and bystanders.
Senator Stewart was called to order
while speaking upon the tax, and upon
his ignoring the chair, the sergeant-at-
arms was called. He refused to sit down
and the two men scutfled for moment.
Then the rgeant-at-arms grasped the
Senator's long chin whiskers with his
right hand. In the meantime the SEN
ators and the spectators had gathered in
a circle around the struggling men.
Senator Jeffries. a Populist, excitedly
elbowed his way through the crowd to the
center and undertook to assault the SER
geant-at-arms.
Senators McKeeby and Hitchcock at
once forced him back to his seat. Dale,
another Populist Senator, sprang into the
melee and grasped the ergeant-at-arms.
Senator Sloan threw himself upon Dale,
and, with the assistance of Senator Hitch
cock, forced him back to his chair. No
other Senator undertook to interfere and
the fight ended.
