Let Ynl1r Face Smile

Dan Leno, the English comedian, who died not long ago, said: When your face wants to slide a smile, let it; when 1t doesn't want to. make it. A merry-minded man is a perpetual slab of sunshine and brightens up the workaday world a sight more than a circus procession or a check suit. A sad-eyed sinner Is of no use to any. one, and nuisance to himself"

 An electric lantern invented for use at fires by Chief Charles E. Swingley of the St. Louis fire department and the only one of the sort in existence, is now being tested with view to its adoption by the local department, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 Experiments conducted thus far have proved the lanterns superiority over those now employed by dremen. The only thing likely to delay the manufac- ture of enough to supply the depart, ment is the cost.
 The lantern consists of dry storagt battery, inclosed in square brass cas- ing, through which projects small

street, January 7, 1905, Mildred, daugh-
ter of Walter and May Lambert, aged
years and months.
Little Mildred was great sufferer
all her life having received injuries at
birth, which caused spastic paralysis of
the spine. She was sunny tempered,
sweet and patient, and much loved by
all who knew her, elinging like tendril
around the hearts of all relatives and
friends and while we miss her very
much indeed, we feel that the Dear
Lord has in tenderness and love sent the
angel reaper. and gathered her to his
bosom. And our hearts say Amen to the
wisdom and will of God, our Father
who doeth all things well.
The funeral services were conducted
at the home of her grand parents at

Not now. but in the coming years,
1t may be in the better land,
Well read the meaning of our tears,
And then sometime we'll understand.
Well know why clouds instead Of sun,
Were over many cherished plan,
Why song has ceased when scarce begun,
IT'S there sometime wen understand.
Why what we longed for most of all,
Eludes so oft our eager hand;
Why hopes are crushed and castles fall,
Yes, there up there, we'll understand.
God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometimes with fearless eyes we'll see,
Yes there, up there we'll understand.

White Girl.

On the morning of January Sd the
dead body of female infant was found
near the town of Toppenisn. On the
same morning physician was called to

cation. Upon returning he filed in the
office of the county recorder the follow
ing report:
From careful examination of wit
nesses and relatives the following facts
were ascertained: That one Fannie

dler, aged fourteen years and three
months, has been keeping company with
one James Spencer, a three-fourths In
dian. Nothing was thought of the
companionship until the morning of the
Sd instant, when the said Fannie Rand
Ter gave birth to child. A physician

ing Post Notified of His Success.
Master Hylas Henry, son of Rev. Al

was the happy recipient Saturday of
a telegram from the proprietors of the
Saturday Evening Post informing him
that he was one of the leading Compel
itors for the grand cash prize recently
offered by the Post as an inlucement
to newsboys to increase their sales.
Master Hylas was very much elated
over the news. He does not know yet
what his share of the grand prize will
be, but it will doubtless be highly sat
isfactory.
The first of September Hylas started
in to selling the Post with ten regular
customers. He now has 400, and his
list is still growing. He is a polite,
manly little fellow, who has won the
admiration of business men and all on
whom he calls, and his success with the
Post is due to his perseverance and in
dustry. The telegram shows that he
has succeeded over hundreds and perhaps
thousands of boys throughout the Uni
ted States, a large majority of whom
have the big cities for their fields.
For having obtained certain number
of subscribers, Hylas was given gold
watch which he has already received.

forts will entitle him to trip to Vel
