The chairman of the republican state
committee, in his paper, the KinRman
Courier, talks terribly about Senator
Burton, the Topeka payers and the large
element of republicans who do not en-
dorse the machine and its tactics. The
Chairman's growls and snarls may we'll
be taken ga a warning by all pie hunters
within the ranks. If you want place
at the public trough, better not buck
the bosses. 1t is theirs to create, theirs
to destroy, theirs to give, theirs to deny
and theirs to take away. The fellows
who want Office had better make signs
of obeisance to the Leland Albaugh
machine early in the game and above
everything else do not form or express
an opinion of any kind before first
hearing wha: the pleasure of the
machine Is. And to these depths have
our present-day politics descended.

Carrying Money.

An exchange says: Men have varl-
Gus ways of carrying money. Bakers,
grocerS, butchers and millers carry it
In wad. Bankers, in clean bills, laid
full length in a pocketbook. Brokers
always fold the bills once, doubling
the money as it were. The young busi-
ness man carries it in his vest pocket,
while the sport has it in his trousers
pocket. Farmers and drovers carry it
in their inside jacket pocket whether

carry theirs in other peoples pockets.

MN the sunset Gun Was pumb.

Therapia Bay is pretty scene en- a
summers evening at sunset. The bay
is small and entirely filled by the for
eign stationaries and the Turkish gum
boats, whilst all round are the gaily
painted summer residences. of the en-
bassies and diplomatic corps, sur
rounded by lovely gardens. At sunset
the Turkish guard boat fires a rifle,
and at the signal all the foreign ships
haul down their flags. One blows a
bugle, another beats drum; they all
have whistles going, and for minute
or two the noise is dreadful. One
night everybody was waiting, but the
rifle shot did not come, but man was
seen struggling with rifle, which, af-
ter long delay, he was able to dis
charge. Afterwards it was discovered
that the signal was made with muZ-
zle loading rife, and that when the
man went to the officers cabin to load
it he found there two paper packets,
one of which confined gunpowder and
the other the black sand used by
Turks for scattering over and drying
their manuscripts instead Of blotting
paper. He loaued the gun with the
sand, and naturally it would not go off.

A Luxurious Robin.

A Mrs. Newton of Geneseo put two
fine lace collars out on the lawn in
front Of her house to dry one day last
spring. When she went to get them
an hour later they were gone. She
was sure nobody stole them, because
she was sitting beside window at
the front Of the house at the time, and
would have seen anybody entering the
yard. The next day she put another
collar out and watched. A robin flew
down from an apple tire near by and
carried off the collar An investiga-
ton was made, and the other collars
we're found woven into the birds nest
in a crotch Of the apple tree. There
was also small lace handkerchief
in the nest. The bird that was doing
the zine art" nest building and its
mate set up big cutlery and pecked
fiercely at the man in the tree when
the nest was being pulled down.-New

LAUGHING.
A Wide Difference Noted Among
Various Methods.


Various Methods.
I'm all the wide range Of evolution
airy studies there Is nothing quite so
interesting to ne as the wide difference
in the matter of laughing" said a
thoughtful man, who is quoted by the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, land
have often wondered why some man
with chances to observe the bitterness,
not only among individuals belonging
to the same racial group, but among
races, has not developed the more
striking difference. We have dealt
with other important differences, the
difference in vocal range and tone.
We have developed In our evolution
airy studies the marked difference be-
TWEEN the music of primitive and civil
lized peoples, the broad difference, for
instance, between the simple monot-
onous scale of the Fijian, and that
complex bit of sublimated harmony,
the symphony. Why not develop the
range Of laughter among individuals
and races? It would be an easy mat
ter to do this Besides, what more
cheerful study can one pursue than the
study of laughter?
What more alluring theme can we
find in the whole category Of subjects
relating to human kind? Laughter!
To think Of it is to smile, to enthuse,
to become CHEEKY to see the things of
the world through the rosy glasses of
optimism. Laughter is music. 1t is
the bubbling forth of the finer things
of the human voice. It is perfected
music, it is the sum total, the final al,
In the matter of welded rythmical
tones. Yet, men and women laugh in
different keyes and different scales.
Often laughter is as the silvery tones
Of the oriole Sometimes it is the
clear brass ring Of the blackbird call
ing to her brood in the black gum
tree. Laughter is sometimes sharp,
cutting; sometimes deep, heavy, gut
tural, sounding a sort of basso pro
/ fundo; sometimes it is the one voice
in the scale of harmony and some
times another but it is always musi-
CAL always rythmcal; always asso-
ciated in some way with the parting of
lips, and the showing Of teeth, and
the playing Of dimples, and all that
sort of thing. Laughter is good to
think upon It is a good theme, a
good study, and one which may be
pursued with much profit, and l will
tip the dewy glass, with its amber
liquid and spicy aromas, to the fellow
who will pursue this rosy dream
which is of the angels"
