The horse laugh and the pussy cat
smile have become famous. not as scien-
tiiic events, but In humorous fashion,
yet, nevertheless, there exists solid
backing of scientific facts for both of these
expressions. In fact, there are Il number
or animals who have been proven TO pos
sess a keen sense of humor and a number
Of them laugh sufficiently near enough to
the manner used by human beings for pur-
poses of absolute identification. Dogs, es-
pecially, are marvelously human. They
are intensely Jealous, show anger. JOY,
grief and amusement as plainly as any
child could do.
The disagrceable ha ha even is not
confined to human beings, for many birds
can ha ha perfectly, including the par
rot, raven, crow, jackdaw and several
other species of birds. dog does not
laugh audibly but when amused he enjoys
II silent but most expressive grin and
turns up both corners Of his mouth In
fashion totally distinct from the snarling
grin OF the same dog when angry. That
animals Of many kinds appreciate funny
situations has often been shown Many
young dog has stolen bone from
chained friend and sat down just outside
the reach of the chain to gnaw the bone
and grin at the one he has robbed.
Some monkeys laugh just like some hui
tan'allzing, and they also chatter In II
maddening sort of glee after playing some
mischieyous trick or other. Kittens can
grin IN most engaging fashion, but
grown-up cats seem to take life far too
seriously to indulge In laughter. The big
gorilla and orang -outang are not much for
laughing. but do II often enough TO prove
that it is a scientific fact that the big
monkeys laugh as much like an African
savage as that barbaric individual laughs
like the fashionable folk of Newport and
Long Island.
But while II is known that many animals
md birds can laugh more or less like hui
man beings, the expression OF grief is con
fined to even fewer animals, in so far as
weeping from grief is concerned. The dog,
horse. COW, deer and perhaps some few
other animals can and do weep from
grief, but these are all of which the fact
has been positively established, On many
occasions horses deer, cows and dogs have
been seen TO weep from causes that were
plainly evident and would have similarly
Influenced human beings under like condi
lions.
Anger is shown by all animals, as are
also hate and fear. Gratitude and affection
is shown By every one OF the higher forms
of animal creatures. Memory Is shown by
nil well-deyelOped animals. The ability 10
weep and the ability to laugh just as hui
man beings do, however, Is confined TO the
small Consultations OF animals named

But, as a canny son of Argyle
once remarked to the writer:
Everything has an end and a
pudding has tua,' and the days
OF the tyrant and the oppressor of
all descriptions have seen the be-
ginning of their termination, un-
less we expect those domestic ex-
actions which we are sometimes
pleased to designate as tyranny,
and of which, alas! the working
man has seen too little in the past.
But the day is swiftly coming when
the majority will once more hold
the reins of government and elect
to Office an executive that will serve
the people alone, whom no bribe
will corrupt and who will at all
times work for the best interests of
all the people, The day is not far
distant when the workingman will
cast out forever the chances of
revolution or civil war, the strike
and the watering of stock stocks,
and trample them all under foot
by using the ballot box as shield
against the destroyers of our
national prosperity. Realization
of their power by the people will
in the near future precipitate
matters, and what will follow we
can safely prophecy as revolution
of the existing conditions, to be
followed by cooperative period
during which the workingman will
have a chance to enjoy the bless
ings and perform the functions
which nature intended should be
his, and a elimination in an era of
such glowing prosperity as was
even undreamt of by the men who
signed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
