the car with the obstruction snapped an

Some one has said that "a sense Of
the ludicrous and the faculty of laugh.
ter are the most useful parts Of our
nature. Laughter is essentially So
cial, a sympathetic and q contagious
power. Some nations, particularly the
Orientals, are said never to laugh; but
all European nations have been great
laughers, and the ludicrous has played
an important part even in their his.
tory. By means of laughter, absolute
monarchs, have been controlled, and
even Demos, himself, has been made
to laugh at his own follies till he was
almost shamed into good sense. Quack.
cries, hypocrisies and affectations Of
all kinds have been exposed and sup
pressed, and the reformation was pro-
NOTED by the united efforts of reason
and ridicule. The sense of the ludi-
crous and of the pathetic have their
sources not far from each other in the
highest part of our nature. A good
laugh, periodically administered, would
excite those sympathetic feelings and
genial dispositions, which are most
needed for regenerating our moral
system. Then men. whom we have
sent homo laughing, would have ex-
perienced an hours pleasure without
fear Of misgiving ct the time and with.
out remorse or reaction afterwards. -

MICE IN THE PUMPKIN.
The Boss Product of the State OF Maine
Was Spoiled by Them.

The Boss Product of the State OF Maine
Was Spoiled by Them.
Aided by the rich output from an
active waterspout, George Archer was
able to produce the biggest pumpkin
grown in Maine, this season. At the
fairs where it was exhibited re-
Gently it was awarded 1927 in cash
prizes, and Mr.. Archer carried home
blue ribbons enough to start mil
linery store. Everybody who saw the
pumpkin wanted some of the seed,
but Archer, feeling that his native
town demanded his loyalty, refused
to sell, telling the would-be purchasers
that he had agreed to donate the
pumpkin, seed and all, to the village
church, which would hold pumpkin
pie sociable, at which time the seeds
would be sold to the highest bidder,
the proceeds to go the minister.
The sociable was held in November.
More than 400 persons attended, some
OF them coming from Kennebec County
in order to bid on the pumpkin seed.
When the meeting had been called to
order and the minister had offered
prayer Mr.. Archer started to carve
the pumpkin with q big stick knife.
He opened it with two strokes, and as
he laid the hemispheres down upon q
table nest of lively mice scampered
away among the audience, causing the
women to leap on top of the pews and
making an animated scene for several
minutes. The mice had not only
spoiled the pumpkin for purposes of
pie, bnt they had eaten up all Of the
precious pumpkin seed, for which the
owner had been offered $50 cash.
Archer was bitterly disappointed.
So were all those in the audience.

Suicide Is Dangerous.

To attempt suicide by tho inhaline
of Illuminating gas is very danger

cisco plumber who tried it his leg.
John Reinhoel turned on che gas in
his bedroom and was with difficulty
revived. Several days afterward a
mysterious gangrene attacked his right
leg, and that member had to be ampu.
tated. The doctors discovered that ths
immediate cause of the gangrene was
clot of blood which had formed in
his heart during the time when its
action was weakest. When the hearts
action became normal the clot was
forced through the arteries until Il
lodged in the smaller arteries of The
leg. The circulation of the blood wal
thus cut off below it, and that caused
the death of the limb. -Argonaut.

for the news that might tell he was

Gamins I'm Rome.

A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune says that the street boys OF
Rome have all the curiosity, shrewd-
ness and impudence of street boys in
general, together with some traits Pc
culiar to themselves. They have q
sharp eye for foreigners, and have de-
veloped no little skill in extracting
coins from them. The Tribunes letter.

cabman because he demanded a tip in
addition to his regular fare. While we
were talking little fellow OF or 7
years stepped up and said, in apaternal,
assuring tone:
Sixty confines is enough. sir. The
rascal is very impudent Don't give
him any more"
In the same breath he asked me for
seldo for the service rendered. I
handed him a coin. laughing at his
grand airs, and he received it with a
condescending gesture. Then, as the
driver reached for his whip, the boy

I walked ON, and presently another
urchin was at my side.

is the road to the Vatican. Give me a

another came bounding up.
MY lordl my lord! you arc losing
your handkerchief.
That was another soldo.

years old, caught sight OF the foreigner.

shouted.

claimed, as he trotted along at my side.

Madre Dio! What bootsl really pity
you, sir. Indeed! such boots! In fato!

All this was uttered in tone OF pro-
found moral conviction, as If he cher

the appeal failed. he dropped behind me
a few steps and changed his tune.
Just look at that American! One

A New Artificial Stone.

Papyristite is a new artificial stone,
made from purified paper PULP and
other ingredients, by FIR. Gehre, q
civil engineer of Zurich. It is an
improvement on papyrolitte, invented
by the same man. It is especially in.
tended for jointless roofs or floors,
and is q non-conductor of heat, cold
or sound. It is hard as a stone, but
has soft, linoleum-like feeling under
foot, and is noiseless. 1t weighs less
than stone or cement, and 900 pounds
of the preparation in powdered form,
spread four inch thick, will cover
ninety square feet. The cost is said
to be exceedingly low, and 1t can b

Il am sorry" said Captain Fox,
that the people of Sag Earbor, to
whom I am indebted for SO many
courtesies, should think l would do
anything unbecom ng an officer in her

his pocket as he spoke. and now, to the

silken purse. filed with gold. AMI con-
tinued: Il have been anxious before

poor and dependent OF your beautiful
town. Take this purse, my dear doc

and give it to those who may need it.
The Doctor, who was al exceedingly
kind-hearted man, took the purse-its
weight surprised him-and as he hid it
away, he said:
I'VE all hope that you will return,
and, though some may be angered by
what they Go not understand. l am
sure you will not leave a foe behind

Lea AMI her mother another evidence

and Christian thoughtfUlness.
He found Ellen Condit at his house,
and told her that he would go up SOON

CHAPTER XIV.

THE wANDERER AGAIN WEIGHS ANCHOR
Captain Fox believed that he had
Colonel Graham wholly in his power,
and he bled him accordingly. In addi-
ton to the large sums the Colonel had
already paid to his tool, he now gave
him more, not so much, Fox thought,
Tor gratitude as to insure his silence
about the crimes on Long Island, Ber-
muda, and Long Island. New York.
Fox would not have been quite SO
comfortable with his aristocratic guest
could he have known the truth.
Before leaving New York, Graham
had arranged with one Of his tools to
notify the governor at certain date
that Captain Kidd would be about that
time off the eastern end OF Long Island;
and this tool did his work well.
The governors object in sending for
Captain Denham was to put him on
Fox's track; but as there were no other
ships in the harbor suited to this work.
and Ralph Denham neither reported in
person nor by letter. the authorities
we're perplexed, and the young captain
was in disgrace.
After Graham felt assured that Ralph
Denham was out Of the way, he would
have given hundreds could he have COM

Graham loathed and dreaded the man
