WAS CURED By LAUGHING.
Patient In an Insane Asylum Had
Reason Restored by . Good
Hearty Laugh.

Some time ago patient in an insane
asylum was suffering from extreme
melancholia. He did not laugh or
smile. Day after day he sat or walked
with an expression of settled melan-
choly on his face. Months passed with
out bringing any change in his con-
dition. Finally his physician resolved
to try a new form OF treatment-the
laugh-cure. He employed q large.
jovial, hearty man to come to the pa
tents door every day and laugh.
What peals the visitor sent ringing
through the whole establishment. OF
deep, melodious, side-shaking laugh
ter, so joyous, hearty and infectious
that everyone who heard was COM
PEELED to join it! But the melancholy
sufferer looked at the laughing man
with the same deep immovable gloom
upon his face. One day. while the
laughter was convulsing everyone in
his vicinity. the patient suddenly
stopped pacing his room and burst into
a hearty laugh. The effect was mag
ical The light Of reason shone once
more in his face. He looked around in
a dazed way and asked Where am
/? What is this place." The black
clouds of gloom had been dispersed.
The melancholia had departed. The
man was in his right mind again.
Laughter had done for him what the
physicians, the drugs and all the
treatment at the asylum had failed
to do.

Curious Justice.

Justice in the British possessions on
the west coast Of Africa Is peculiar at
times A writer in a London publication
tells the story of a couple Of officials
Brown and Jones--who one night were
cycling home from the club without
lights and were bounced upon by zeal
Gus policeman. Summoned before the
district commissioner court, they found
themselves the only persons competent
to try the case. So Brown sat upon Jones
and fined him five shillings. adding
few remarks as to the danger Of neglect
ing a salutary regulation. Then Jones
assembled the bench. smarting. and, hav-
ing addressed Brown In terms that
would have fitted murderer. said that
he was determined to put stop to such
pernicious practices and imposed q fine
Of ten shillings.

the SCHOOL ELECTION
NOW BEING CONSIDERED
Next Saturday New Director Will be
Elected to Serve Four Years-Sev
. eral Names Mentioned.

The annual school election of district
No. I is to be held in the Central scnool
building on Saturday next, between the
hours of p. m. and p. m. of that day.
One director is to be elected in place
of Mr.. Norman Compton, whose term
expires the other two directors holding
over, Prof. Barge for one year and Mr..
Nichols has two years yet to serve.
The Herald learns that the outgoing
director, Mr.. Norman Compton, is being
urged and solicited by great many
of the patrons of the schools to accept
another term. Mr.. Compton has made
a faithful and jealous director, and just
now, when the district is erecting new
school house, being fine mechanic MIN
self and well qualified to intelligently
pass upon the work of the contractors,
on the new edifice, it would seem to he
the wise thing for the district to retain
his valuable services, and by his past
strict attention to the duties of director
and they are by no means trivial or
light, he has we'll deserved the compl-
ment of reelection.
Mr.. Compton also resides on the west
side of the railroad, the other two Ill
rectors on the east side, and the west
side are unanimous in tine resolve that
they have representation on the board
and equally determined that Mr.. Comp
ton shall be their accredited representa-
tive.
There are names of other gentlemen
mentioned in connection with the posi-
ton of school director, A. Z. Larson,
residing on Naches avenue, and DIR. j.
b. Burns, residing on Third street,
having been spoken of in connection with
the position, but both of these districts
are now represented, and there is gen
eral sentiment in favor of the west side
having member on the board. ID. f.
Lesh of tine west side is also thought of,
but he is very busy man, and if elect
ed it is thought he would hardly be will
ing to neglect his business for the many
demands made on a school directors
time.
There are rumors floating about of
many others VINO will be put forward
on election day by their various friends;
if this is correct, as usual, there will be
no lack of candidates, for the average
American dearly loves an election scrap.
The position of school director is no
sinecure. 1t is a very responsible posi-
ton, and Mr.. Compton, the present di-
rector, having proved his worthiness by
mis- acts, is the logical candidate and
will receive hearty support at the
polls on Saturday, if he allows his name
to be used again.

Success.

IT WAS A woman who won the
$4,000 offered for the best
definition of success. She said:
"He has achieved success who
has lived we'll, laughed often and
loved much; who mas gained the
respect of intelligent men and
the love of little children; who
has filled his niche and accom-
plished his task; who has left
the world better than he found
it, whether by an improved
poppy, a perfect poem, or a
rescued soul; who has never
lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the
best in others and given the best
he had; whose life was an inspir.
alton; whose memory a benedic-
tion."
This is not the su ccess, how
eyer. which the Miles Mcdonald
Danaher ring won in Bemidji's
first municipal election. The
definition of that kind Of success
is more simple:-it is the success
you buy for $4,000.

"knocking.''

Il UNDERSTAND" says Presi-
dent Bernard of the state drain
age league, ''that two or three
papers in the northern part of
the state are doing little knock
ing. This perhaps, is not so
much against the cause as
against myself and Secretary
Hays The two or three papers
to which Mr.. Bernard refers are
in reality about every newspaper
in northern Minnesota. Mr..
Bernard is correct in assuming
that there is no knocking by
these papers against the cause
of drainage, neither is there any
knocking against President
Bernard or Secretary Hays.
But the policy of these gentle
men in attempting to raise money
for the purpose of maintaining a
drainage lobby at Washington
is roundly condemned by the
press of northern Minnesota.
The state drainage league was
not organized for that purpose
and it's officers have never been
authorized by the league tc
spread the gospel of a drainage
lobby at Washington.
| The trouble with President
Bernard and Secretary Hays is
that they are trying to use the
drainage league for purposes .:
their own, instead of attempting
to further the cause of state
drainage, for which purpose the
league was organized.
