Laugh and he Glad.

eff we cannot all have a piazza, ev-
cry one may feel the sun" says an Ital-
ian proverb which is characteristic of
that patient, cheerful race.
But, after all, 1t is the exceptional
life which has not in it much Of the
sunshine. There is always gloom for
those who wish to dwell in shadow, but
an effort of the will often carries one
out of that morbid desire into the clear
er, SUMMER mood.
Difficulties and troubles, if bravely
met make strong men and women, but
endless worry and anticipation Of evil
cannot fail to weaken the will and the
character.
Laugh and be glad now, today. If
you wait till you conquer your little
world, you will never laugh and be
glad 1t is better to live in castle in
the air than in the dungeons we allow
our low spirits and forebodings to build
for us

The quite erroneous idea that Welsh
is a language of consonants probably
arises from the number of WIS it con-
tains, according to a WelsRman in the
London News. ''W'' in Welsh is gen
erally-and always between two con-
sonants-a pure vowel, sounded like
900" in English. Thus "cwm" is pro-
nounced "koom," rhyming with E'boom."
What is really one of the most remark
able features about the Welsh language
is the number of vowels which can
come together. In English three vow
els in succession are not often met with.
In Welsh it is not uncommon to find
four or five-e. G., in 'llywiawdwr
GOVERNOR Here each of the five VOW
els "ywiaw" is pronounced separately
in rapid succession. Here are four
lines, consisting entirely of vowels,
made by Goronwy owen in the eight
eenth century:
OH wiw wy a weuae,
Ieuau O ia, al e ly2
Al au weuau a we
All au wau eli we wyw?

Senator YilIman says the Crum
nomination will never come to a vote;
that he will take the contract, if nee
essary, to talk it to death; and that in
such endeavor he would have plenty
of help. In view of the fact that a
mere tesTTto-death threat on the part
of Senator TEllman had the effect OF
securing $4,000 for South Carolina
the other day, it is possible that the
Senate will take him at his word and
let the Crum matter alone.

Sacred Teeth.

Teeth of all kinds have been wor.
SHIPPED and are, in fact, venerated as
relics in some religious shrines. Bud
dha's tooth is preserved in an Indian
temple, the Cingalese worship the tooth
of monkey, while the elephants and
sharks teeth serve a similar purpose
among the Malabar and Tonga island
ers respectively. The Siamese were
formerly the possessors of the tooth of
a sacred monkey, which they valued
very highly, but in a war with the
Portuguese they lost the holy grinder
and had TO pay $3,500,0O0 to get it
back again. 1t is now kept in a small
gold box, inclosed in six other boxes,
in one of the many temples of the
SiameSe capital

The Monkeys Reasoning Powers.

The monkeys intelligence has never
been able to arrive at point which en-
ables that animal to achieve the unity
ing of a knot. You may tie a monkey
with a cord fastened with the simplest
form of common knot, and unless the
beast can break the string or gnaw it
in two he will never get loose. To I'M
tie the knot requires observation and
reasoning power, and, though a mon
key may possess both, he has neither
in a sufficient degree to enable him to
overcome the difficulty

to compulsory arbitration unless it
thought it was in a position to secure
some decided advantage, and therefore
it would be manifestly unfair as well
as unsatisfactory.
"On the other hand, state board of
arbitration, selected as l have sug-
gested, would in the beginning have
the full confidence and support of pub
lie opinion and would weigh every mat
ter carefully and should have full au-
thority of law to take testimony in all
cases after the cases had been volun-
tarily submitted to the board. And the
force of public sentiment in the en-
frightened commonwealth of Iowa would
compel all fair-minded men to submit
their cause to this tribunal if it could
not be amicably adjusted by the par
ties in dispute.
"Of course, the findings and decis-
ions of the board should be binding for
a definite period of, say one year or
such specified time as the board might
determine, taking into account the ma
ture of the case.
Il think such board infinitely pref
cradle to anything under the plan Of

RRlGHAM's VIEW.
Labor Commissioner Opposes Com
pulsory Arbitration.

State Labor Commissioner Brigham
declares that he is opposed to compul-
sorry arbitration and is in favor of the
creation of state board of arbitra-
ton to settle disputes between en-
ployers and employees. In answer to
queries from Iowa college at Grinnell
the following manner:
"In my judgment state board of ar
bitration should be created in the fol-
lowing manner: The state executive
council, (the governor, secretary of
state, treasurer and auditory should be
authorized by law to select one mem.
Der of the board, the State Federation
Iof Labor should be authorized by law
Ito select the second member of the
board and the two members thus Sc.
Elected should be empowered by law to
select the third member, who should
be by virtue of such selection CHAIR
man of the state board of arbitration.
When any difficulty arose between en-
ployer and employee it should be made
the duty under the law for the chair
man of the state board of arbitration.
Ito at once offer his services as medi-
Iator, and if the parties declined to ac-
icept his services in that capacity he
be directed to ask that the matter be
be referred to the state board of arbi-
tration for settlement.
My reason for suggesting this meth
cd is simply this: The experiences of
the past year clearly demonstrate to
my mind that all such differences are
settled finally according to the trend of
public opinion and this. it seems to me,
is a practical short cut to such set
| Element.
81 do not believe that either side of
any controversy of this character
would be willing to submit its cause

STATE PAROLE LAW.
Point in Iowa Statute Raised in Case
of Frank Davis.

The state has become Interested in
habeas corpus proceedings began in
Jones county before Judge Miller by
Attorney Thomas Miner of Belle
PLANE, on behalf of Frank Davis, who
was committed to the penitentiary
from Clinton county February 5, 1891.
At that time he was given seventeen
years for second degree murder. His
sentence was suspended August "a,
1900, by Governor Shaw, when he had
but two months and seven days more
to serve, owing to the fact that he had
made up seven years and three months
in good time
Later Davis got into trouble at Nor
witch, Conn. He was alleged to be liv-
ing with his own daughter and. to be
guilty of various misdeeds. Governor
Cummins learned of the facts through
the prosecuting attorney at Norwich
and he revoked the suspension of SEN
ltence and had Davis put back into Ana
mosa prison. His good time was de-
clared forfeited and he was sent to
serve out the balance of his sentence
John Connolly of this city went to
Connecticut after him.
The action now begun it to test the
II lSut VI lhC SOVSiuO W CduSS lllS
time earned to be forfeited There is
provision in the suspension parole
that says that if for any reason the
suspension is revoked the prisoner for
feits the good time he has earned pri-
or to the suspension of sentence.
The question raised is one that has
never been settled in the courts. At
torney General Mullan was engaged
l - - rs II
law. He is confident of the right of
the governor to do as he has done. He
says it would seem certain that if
prisoner accepts a parole on certain
conditions and then violates the condi-
tions he must take the responsibility
| for such violation.
Mr.. Mullan will not argue the case,
which will be heard before Judge Mil
Ter. He has forwarded the papers to
ex-senator Ellison of Anamosa, who
will appear for the state.
