POWER OF A SMILE
When the skies OF life are a desolate
grey,
You can change them, l say,
II you smile. every day;
For a smile can work wonders, and
always does pay.
(Try 10 smile for a while and see
What the happy result will be:)
Pretty soon you viii find all the clouds
gone away
And you'll sing a glad lay,
Being happy and gay;
But the right time 20 sing is when
clouds come to stay.
For a while.
Then just sing and smile.
When the path of your life leads to
sorrow. then you
viii. indeed. find it true
That the best thing TO do
Is 10 smile. tho you feel more like
crying, In lieu;
Of you've evils from which you'd be
free
Keep on smiling. in time they will

And the brave heart that dares just
this course to pursue,
win enjoy the blue
OF life's skies. while the few
Who lament and repine will see some
other hue.
Then do smile
For tbs we'll worth while.

NEWS FROM MISSOURI ;
Joplir Votes Wet.

The vets won local option election
at Joplin. The total vote was 6.549,
almost 1000 heavier than any pre-
vious vote in the history of the city.
The vets obtained 1853 and the drys
2,9l0, a majority for the vets of 100.
Early in the day and up to noon 1t
looked like certain victory for the
drys, but early in the afternoon the
anti.local option forces rallied and a
steady stream of wet votes Hooded
the polls until Z o'clock, when the
balloting was closed. Unexpectedly
the miners failed to rally to the cause
of local option, as had been predicted,
and instead of supporting this issue
the miners vote showed a strong lean
ing toward the vets. The election
closed the most exciting three weeks
Joplin has ever experienced. I'M
mediately after the Rev. Billy Sunday
left Joplin after conducting a series
OF sermons here Joplin looked dry by
a thousand majority. The weeks fol.
lowing his departure permitted those
favoring the licensed saloon to be-
come active and their good campaigG.
ing was attested by the result. The
dry supporters lost scores of votes
in South Joplin when women and
children assailed with sticks and
stones a brass banu employed by the
anti-local option forces. The musi-
clans instruments were jerked from
their mouths and hands and badly
damaged. This exhibition disgusted
many with the tactics thus employed
and in this precinct, which had been
accredited overwhelmingly dry, the
wsts made heavy gains. Women
played a conspicuous part in the cleo
ton day campaigning, but the female
contingent by no ear was unani-
mously aligned with the local option
lists. Almost as many women wearing
red, white and blue colors, the en-
blem of the vets, were out as those
wearing white, the emblem Of the
drys. Not all the children, either
were supporters of local option. There
were parades of youngsters wearing
bright colors and shouting vote her

WHY WE GIVE VALENTINES.

Long ago there lived a priest named Valen-
tine. This good man was noted in all the coun-
try round for his kindness. He nursed the sick,
comforted the Borrowing and was always ready
to give help to anyone who was in need. Valen-
tine dearly loved the children and those who
went to him for food or clothes were never turned
away. After this kind priest became too old to
go among his people he was very sad because he
thought he could no longer be of any help to
them. Then he remembered that he could write
loving messages to the sick and sorrowing. Soon
his friends began to watch for the kind words
that were sure to come whenever sorrow or Joy
entered their homes. Even little children would
say, when they were sick, 81 think Father Valen.
tine will send me a letter to-day"
But after a time no more letters were re-
ceived and soon the news went abroad that good
old valentine was dead. Then every one said
that such a man was good enough to be called
a saint and since then he has been known as st.
valentine. 1t was not long until people cele.
brated his birthday by sending loving messages
to their friends. The notes and letters contain.
Ing these messages were called valentines. This
all happened years ago, but good st. Valentine
is still remembered on the fourteenth of each
February.

One Convict Each Dav.

Twenty-seven men in 81 days either
were convicted or entered pleas of
guilty to ~felonies in the criminal
court at Kansas City, and sentenced
to serve terms in the ~penitentiary.
The majority of them were sentenced
on charges of burglary, grand larceny
and robbery. Never before in the his
tory of the criminal court in Jackson
county have so many men been sent
to the penitentiary for crimes in such
a short time. This record of radiance
of criminals is due directly to the ex-
cellent work of the Kansas City
police department.

A State Park,

BY resolution the Missouri Land
and Industrial congress advocated a
Missouri state park and game pre-
serve where the native fish, birds and
mammals may be protected. A rec
ommendation to that effect was made
to the next legislature. Other rec
concentrations to the legislature were
for a permanent and adequate fund
for the state university, so it would
not have to depend upon capricious
appropriations, and for a quarantine
law to prevent importations Of dis
eased live stock. The congress asked
each county of the state to organize
auxiliary immigration associations.

Young girls appear to experience no fatigue
after it. They will not miss a single waltz, polka
or square dance, but if the pulse of one of these
indefatigable devotees Is felt after the dance Is
finished it will be found In the majority of cases
that the number Of pulsations is far in excess Of
the normal. and from this 1t may be inferred that
the condition Of the heart must react prejudi-
cially upon the entire organism, and it justifes
an apprehension of danger to delicate girls.

one OF the white, dropping flowers, she gazed low.

green tracery of the leaves of its inner cup.

for so long? ~
Under the snow, under the snow.
WIN your ivory heads all bending low,
U many secrets you must know!
The boy looked at her wonderingly.
How can the flowers know anything?" he
asked.
Everything knows something" returned
Leila, dreamily; but the flowers are dumb and
cannot tell one their thoughts-only their beauty
speaks, and their fragrance breathes sweet
thoughts into ones heart that one tries to put
INTO words. But that is almost impossible"
or course 1t Is" answered her companion.
Now, 1t is quite different with the birds; they
can make themselves understood. They sing
songs OF thanksgiving and their note Of 10y or
mourning is easy to tell. They scold and chat
ter as the jackdaw and rock, or screech like the
OWL or sing a serenade as the nightingale. And
one or them speaks even more clearly, for when

Some idea of the caustic ammunition pro.

One of the most novel features of the begin.
nings of the comic valentine craze was the ap-
pearance of tradespeople's valentine writer's con-
tanning all sorts of verse especially designed to
apply to devotees of the various vocations and
lines of mercantile trade. Such a reference work
made a good-sized volume, for, in order to be
complete, it had to embody verses for every
imaginable trade and occupation. There were
some tributes included in each vol
ume of this character, but for the most part the
contents consisted of more or less humorous
references.
The system was certainly a convenient one,
for not only were gibes and appeals provided,
but there was also appended favorable and I'M
favorable replies for each such advance, so that
the recipient of one of the valentines thus de-
rived had only to consult the book in order to
ascertain the proper reply. For instance, a gro
Ger could address his lady love as follows:
Your breath is all-spice 1 declare,
And you're 30 neat and handy,
That you're as sweet, / think. MY fair,
AS plums or sugar candy.
BE favorable, 1 implore,
These verses kindly weigh;
And IL you will my heart restore,
I'll treat you to some tea
However, the lovelorn grocer was liable to
reply to this effect:
Your letter I've weighed,
Am truly afraid
Many pounds you're deficient in weight;
An so MI. Grocer,
