The woman with Humor.

Lillian Belle in Harper's Bazary
II you consider the list Of your friends.
It will not take you long to discover that
the woman you like best is the woman
with a sense of humor. She is the only
one you think Of first II you are getting
up a picnic or a card party. You do not,
perhaps, formulate 1t even to yourself, but
in your mind she stands for the utmost
good humor. II 1t rains or II it shines, If
anybody else is cross or grumpy, the
woman with a sense of humor can extract
fun out of the dreariest proposition, and
the first thing you know she has set every
body to laughing at her droll sayings, and
turned defeat into triumph, for who cares
whether your original plan was carried out
or not, just SO everybody has a good time?
A sense Of humor is said to be lacking in
most women. Alas! l have found this only
too true, but l have noticed that when a
woman does have 1t, the men are the first
to find It out. and all she has to do to
acquire a husband is to pick and choose.
The day Of the girl with the dol face is
going out and the day of the girl with a
sense of humor is coming in.

Law Does Not Require them, but Gus
tom Takes Them Up.
A mistaken impression prevails as
to the proposed passing Of a law by
the late legislative session requiring
gasoline cans to be painted red. The
bill only went through the house and
never became law. Regardless OF
this, many dealers are requiring its
provisions to be carried out, and find
it such a. safeguard that. regardless Of
legislative action, 1t will be law OF
custom in the state at many places.
While the law does not require it, the
plan where tried has proven such a
convenience that both dealers and Gus
toners are satisfied with it and viii
continue it, Its observance all over
the state would prevent any POSSIBLE
ity of putting gasoline in kerosene
cans.

This makes three horizontal ore

1ty-tive of the Great Northern conduc-

among the employees, held conference
with General Manager Ward yesterday
afternoon and went over the situation.
Mr.. Ward assured the men that the
company is not looking for trouble.
and that IL stands ready TO do anything
TO avert trouble so long as the COM
pany is allowed to retain the right to
run double-header trains whenever the
exigenoies of the business demand
such operation. Mr.. Ward went so far
as to agree TO insert clause in the
schedule binding the company to run
double-headers to no greater extent
than at present, which Is per cent of
all trains. He also agreed to adjust
the wage scale to conform to the
schedule agreed to by the management
and the general committee early in the
negotiations. The men who met with
Mr., Ward had no authority to accept
or reject the proposition made by the
general manager, but they expressed
entire satisfaction with 1t and agreed
to recommend its adoption by the gen.
efal committee.
