The Effect Of Laughter.

Laughter, says writer, is a most
perfect medicine. It takes Il man out
OF himself and so gives nature a
chance. The brain is so frequently
onr prime mover i'll sickness, that any
thing that temporarily deranges it, as
it were, is good for us. Forgetful
ness is great administrative and re.
cuperative genius. He who forgets
wins half the battle, whether it be an
injury OF the dismissal OF a trouble.
Iimf, the sovereign healer OF all our
wounds Of heart or soul, Is but an al
ly OF our brain, and in thus combina
tion we have perhaps the greatest SO.
luton OF life. But in laughter, al
most mcxplicable as it is, there cx-
lists great healer. 1t is the forerun.
ner. one might call it, OF forgetful-
uess. 1t is the distractor. 1t shakes
up the creature, it fosters hope, with
ont which our beng is almost blank.
Laughter is the truest OF medicines.
Get it when you can. Do not be
afraid to laugh. II blesses yon and
those who hear. 1t is akin to mercy.
The light side Of nature is the happy
one; make haste to laugh.-Indian

AN OUTRAGE AND DISGRACE.

That was a dastardly outrage perpe-
trated on Saturday night by some mis-
creants who threw rocks and eggs at the
American volunteers who compose the
Flambeau club. Whether those missiles
were intended as democratic arguments
or were hurled for the purpose of indi-
eating democratic sentiment towards the
men who went to h Philippines to fight
for Uncle Sam is not explained by any
democratic authority.
The American citizens of Silver Bow
county, however, will not overlook the
outrage. There will be a reckoning on
election day that will prove this to be
an American community, in which free
speech is a sacred right and Flambeau
clubs mad up Of American volunteer
soldiers or any other class of respectable
Americans may parade the public streets
without molestation.
1t will be no defense Of Saturday
nights outrage to claim it was perpe-
trated by hoodlums. Hoodlums would
never think of throwing rocks at a fam
beau club unless melted to do so by older
men. Whoever the latter are and what
ever cause they represent, an effort will
be made to discover and punish them. In
any event, the law and order citizens of

A FIGHTING CHAPLAIN.

: The fighting chaplain of the First Mon
tana is making ar aggressive contest for
republicanism in Yellowstone county.
The reference is to Rev. G. C. Stull, who
went to the Philippines to do duty under
the stars and stripes and who saw much
active service and was the custodian of
the volunteers pay as we'll as of their
salvation. He is making a splendid cam
paign for the republican cause in eastern
Montana. No democratic speaker in his
presence defends Aguinaldo for reviling
the flag of the union or fomenting rebel
lion against United States authority or
shooting American soldiers. Mr.. stuli
was at Manila and on the battle fields.
He knows what the truth is and tells 1t.
He knows that Dewey made nj treaty
with the Tagal chief. He knows the lat
ter plotted the assassination of every
foreigner in Mani. He knows that nine
tenths of the population of Luzon would
welcome the establishment Of law and
order as proposed by Mckinley and that
were it not for the resistance of Aguinal-
do encouraged by democracy in this
country the war would have been ended
long ago.
Yellowstone county sent many good
men to the front when the Spanish war
broke out and the democratic charge that
they were engaged in an unholy crusade

by which every member Of 1t was ami
mated.
