NECESSITY FOR SMILES.
4 Discourse on the DesirablIity Of
Happy Countenance.

Certain kindly disposed persons
arc in the habit of advising man
kind in phrase peculiar to- photog-
raphers to 'look pleasant" whatever
be their state and condition and to
insist that even aching hearts should
be carried beneath smiling counte-
nances. Yet just as there are peo-
pie who object to those regions
where perpetual sunshine prevails
and where clouds and storms are
unknown, so there are those who
would find monotonous an ever
cloudless countenance. AS an anti
dote to melancholy Keats suggested
that when ones beloved exhibited
some erich anger" to
Imprison her soft hand and let her rave
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless
eyes.
Of course there are smiles more
heartrending than tears and tears
more cheering than smiles, while
the Cheshire eat variety of express
sion is pleasant to the point of ex-
ASPIRATION. The smile upon the face
Of Leonardo da Vinci's celebrated
Norma Lisa is uncomfortable to some
people, while over Others it casts a
spell not to be resisted. 1t is said
that the American feminine counte-
nance is one that leans toward
smiles, and if foreign testimony is
to be trusted there is cause for a
smiling complacency in the demon
strated facts that American women
are the best dressed as well as the
most Independent and problem free
of all women. To have the right
things on ones body and the wrong
things off ones mind is certainly
to be as happy as it is possible for
womankind to be. But as for the
necessity for smiling in all situa-
tons and under all circumstances
that must rest with the individual,
who will probably decide that he
will look us he feels and smile when
he pleascs. Chicago Tribune.

nRS. McKINLEY'S LIFE.

An eastern paperthus describes
the daily life of the late presi-
dents wife:
"On the university of the
shooting of President Mckinley
at Buffalo Mrs. Mckinley paid
her silent tribute to the memory
Of her dead husband. She was
driven from her home in Canton
to. the cemetery, and, entering
the tomb, laid her floral tribute,
her daily offering, on the flag
covered coffin. She was heavily
yelled, as usual, and, after a few
moment; spent in prayer beside
the coffin, she visited and placed
flowers on the graves of her chill
dren. Then she re-entered her
carriage and was driven back to
her hone.
Mrs. McKinley's physical
health is good, but her grief has
left it's imprint Or her mind and
she is constantly attended. Al
most he' sole topil of converse
ton with her attendants and
companions and the few friends
whom she sees, is her dead hus-
band, and while she now talks
of him calmly, her grief is as
poignant as it WAS on the day Of
mis- death.
She rides each day to the Gem,
terry, where she visits her hus
bands tomb and places flowers
on the flag that covers the
casket. She is always taken to
the cemetery in a closed carriage,
and is always heavily yelled. In
the early evening she walks for
a few minutes on the veranda of
her .iloh1e and this is the only
time that her old neighbors,
those who have known her for
many years, and whose hearts
have shared her grief, have to
see the sorrow-stricken woman
whose hair has become white
and whose life's light has gone
cut because OF the agony she has
been called upon to suffer.
At the tomb of the nation S
martyr a squad OF soldiers ofthe
regular army are on guard night
and day. No one is allowed to
approach the tomb, over which
flies the flag of the country in
whose service William McKin-
ey died"

Monopoly VS. the People.

The inevitable struggle be-
tween combined capital and the
people seem to be rapidly crys-
TALKING. The hard coal output
ofthls country is practically con-
trolled by six men of great
wealth, who have combined
their interests. They deny the
right Of their laborers to COM
bine for self protection, and the
result is a disastrous labor strike
which reduces the stock of coal
mined and greatly increases the
cost to the consumers. Govern
mental power to control \ these
vast aggregatlons of capital ap
pears to be the only alternative.
In his speech at Wheeling last
week President Roosevelt thus
expresses his opinion in very pos
tive terms:
II firmly believe that in the
end power must be given to the
national government to exercise
in full supervision and regula-
ton of those great enterprises.
Some OF my ultra-conserva-
tive friends have professed to be
greatly shocked at my advocat-
ing government control of cor
porations. ! would explain to
these gentlemen once for all that
they err whenever they think
