Smiles.


He preached the smilin' doctrine
Lowed a smile would cure all ills.
An said a laughin' Teller
Cud allus meet his bills,
Never met him tibet he didn't
Cry out. Cheer up, Bill, an smile:
Life amt such a dreary burden,
Something's surely wuth the while"
Said smile wuz real, an trouble
Didn't hev no place in life:
An recommended smilin
TO appease an angry wife;
Said there weren't no use in swearin'
Said the hull world would be gay
II a man would jes' imagine
Tibet the sun shone every day.
He preached the smilin' doctrine,
Thet wuz all he had to do;
An I've noticed tibet it's easy,
From the proper point of view;
But one day this laughin' preacher
Stubbed his toe real hard, an then
He forgot his laughin' preachin',
Joined the ranks of swearin' men.
Oh, the preachin' part is easy,
But the practicin' is tough;
And when you're likely to be called
Don't try to work a bluff,
4 you're teachin smilin' lessons
Which are worthy lessons, too
When trouble hits your wagon,
Folks will want a smile from you

A Widow Of Experience.

Many years ago, at the funeral oil
one Of the prominent men of Oxford
Mass, the minister forgot TO mention
in his prayer the widow, who was the
second wife Of the deceased. His
brother, noticing the fact, sent his lit
tie daughter, after the service. to re
mind the aged clergyman of his omis
sion. The minister apologized to the
widow, saying: IT trust the Lord will
be with you in this great trial, Mrs
B."
IT have no reason to doubt him. fol
he has been with me twice before.

CUSTOMS OF THE cANNIBALs
Tribes Of savagcs Observe Traditions
Among Themselves.

Even among the sayages of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there
are differences" said Paul Pucci, a
young Italian traveller, at the Ra-
leigh. Some while ago, when ex-
ploring that country, learned good
bit about the ways of the various
tribes. In majority of them can
nibalism Is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be a gross violation OF tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
upon friends or even upon members
of the same tribe. This delicacy OF
sentiment, however, Is not universal,
and In one tribe in particular, where
| noted the absence of any old per.
sons, learned that it was the proper
thing to add the aged inhabitants
to the local food supply. This con.
fined the population to the young and
hardy, for at the first signs of decrepi.
tude the boiling pot was called into
requisition." WASHINGTON Post.

WAY PIPE SHOULD BE LIGHTED.
Subject OF Vastly More Importance
Than Appears,

iHdH FNPPCdTos
There has been a little newspaper
discussion recently on the subject OF
How to Light Pipe" This may seem
to the feminine mind, trivial matter,
and quite beneath the notice OF any
dignified journal.
How wrongl For a pipe ill-lit Is a
pipe ill-smoked. and a pipe ill-smoked
is man made testy, and a man made
testy is man looking out for trouble,
and man looking out for trouble Is q
man finding trouble. and man flnd-
ing trouble Is woman In tears, and a
woman In tears is the last word In hui.
man dreariness. Never let us be
ashamed to inquire, then, how a pipe
may be lit with the utmost satisfac-
ton to the smoker.
One paper, see. recommends spills.
That is good. but the spills, OF course.
must be wooden ones.
Another paper retorts that spills are
OF no sort of use to the man In the
train. This is the kind of frightfuIly
true thing that causes hush in the
noisiest assembly. What. then, should
the man In the train do?
will tell him. He should carry a
box Of wooden matches, and he should
use exactly two matches to light his
pipe. The first one will dry the to.
bacco on the surface, and the second
one will produce the vivid. even glow
beloved Of smokers
The man, by the way, who lights his
pipe with wax match is bad man
right from the start. Never trust him.
