A Puzzler.

Somerville J ournal.
He struggled down the slippery street;
He had hard work to keep his feet:
He struck a very icy spot;
He looked for help: he found it not:
His feet went up and he went down
The shock, It simply Jared the town
And everybody laughed!
She started to take up the fish
That she had fried; reached for the dish
Eve we're all standing idly round,
W atching the fish, so deity browned-)
She raised the dish, but it was hot.
II feII and smashed upon the spot
And everybody laughed!
He started down the subway stairs
When something caught him unawares
He stubbed his toe or caught his heel,
Or slipped upon an orange peel;
He turned a somersault, and thump!
He landed with an awful bump
And everybody laughed
The bald man suffered with ny:
The umpire got biffed in the eye;
The lady left the open car
The wrong way to-ta-ra-ra-rah!
The Judge went by, with stately tread;
A snowsiide squashed upon his head
And everybody laughed,
Now, please, will some one tell me why
We laugh at times as il we'd die
When people suffer pain and grief?
Why should a laugh give us relief?
In short, when everything's awry
VIII some one kindly tell us why
Should everybody laugh.

Truth the Great Basis.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth.

Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
Nothing in all human character
shines quite so brightly as the truth.
One may be endowed with wonderful
gifts of mind but if he will not tell
the truth his mental endowments
count for little. One may have great
physical strength so that noNtask OF
hand or body seems hard or heavy,
but if he disregards truth his great
muscular strength is placed on a
level with some powerful but treach-
erous beast. A man may have the
capacity to accumulate wealth so
that his dollars may pile up like the
great Pyramids, but il he proves to
be untruthful in his words and prac-
tees his character will be questioned
and his money will be called
"tainted. A disregard for the truth
is the index of q false and failing life.
Nothing in adults or children so dis
counts character as untruthfulness.
A wise man who has had much expe-
rience as a teacher of boys was speak
ing recently about the kinds of boys
he has taught and the various expe-
riences he had had with bad boys,
but he said he never lost hope in a
boy as long as he would tell the
truth. He said that when he caught
a boy in a wilful lie he was soon
ready to give him up as hopeless
case. While the boy was truthful he
had hopes for something good from
him, but when he proved to be a liar
there was left little ground for hope.
And this holds good all through
human life. With truth as the guide
star OF ones course aud purpose
there is hope for good, but when
truth is lightly esteemed one may not
be surprised at any result of such life.
Let truth be impressed upon the life
of every one under the touch of any
and all influences, and hasten the day
when it shall reign over all.

REGARDED AS TOO EXPENSIVE.
Proposed Bridge Over the Anacostia
River at Giesboro.

Tie Engineer Commissioner Of the Dis
trict has received large number of COM
municaticns from citizens requesting the
passage OF a bill recently introduced in
the House by Representative Mudd Of
Maryland, which provides for bridge
across the Eastern branch at the foot OF
Half street from the city to Giesboro
Point The object of this is to give moro
direct access to that portion of the Dis
trict in the neishborhood OF Giesboro
Point TO the city.
The Engineer Commissioner says that
to construct such bridge would cost ap-
proximately 500. 600. and that it is prob
able that on account og the excessive
cost ii will not be constructed in the near
future.
He contends that the end to be accom-
plished. of improving the means OF access
to this section. would be accomplished by
a bill which provides for the construction
of a road along the south bank OF the
Anacostia river from the Anacosta
bridge to the neishborhood of the plant
OF the Ffrth-Sterling Steel Company. This
bill was recommended by the Commits
sioners at the last session of Congress
and also at the present session.
