The Candy Corner

Next week A. E. Bauman will open the
Candy Corner" at the corner OF West
Main and North Water street. The
building has been remodeled, improved
and is now one of the finest business
buildings in the city, of which all the
citizens ought to be proud. The furnish
ings in the sale depal tment are all
in hard wood and highly polished equal
in beauty and finish to any found in the
large cities. In fact, we doubt If there
is anything as inviting to be found in
either Milwaukee or Chicago. Mr.. Bau-
mansis certainly entitled TO great credit
for improving the corner and ought to
receive generous support for his enter
prise and public spirit in giving the
people place where they can go and en-
JOY themselves with such attractive en-
viOronments. 1t is a veritable palace
and '.Sim" will leave nothing undone to
contribute to the pleasure of his patrons
who should increase in number, in view
OF what he has done for this city.

William LeWandoWs viii Render Program at First Metho-
dist ChurCh-Graduate of Our High School,

The writer well remembers the High
school days of MI. r.LeWandOWski, when he
was winning hOnOrs in declamatory con-
tests for the reason that he put his whole
heart and soul into his work, fact that
paved the way for ultimate success. The
Leader at that time was certain that a
bright future was in store for the young
man. The citizens of Watertown should
give Mr.. LeWandOWski royal recep-
tion and the Leader hopes that the First
Methodist church will be taxed TO its ut
most capacity on the evening of his APP
pearance.

Learn To Laugh

A German is reported to have said:
Laugh and the world laughs nit you,
but when you cry, you go go out all
alone nit yourself. The following form
an exchange is so good, that we repro
duce it for the benefit of those who need
to laugh, be happy and make others hap
py:
Learn to laugh. A good laugh is bet
ter than D4edicine. Learn how to tell a
story. A well-teld s. is as welcome
as sunbeam in a sickrOOm. Learn to
keep your own troubles to yourself. The
world is too busy to care for your ills and
sorrows. Learn to stop crOaking. Ii
you cannot learn to see any good in the
world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn
to hide your pains and aches under a
pleasant smile. No one cares to hear
whether you have the earache, headache
or rheumatism. Doh't cry. Tears do
well enough in novels, but they are out
of place in real life. Learn to meet
your friends with smile. The good
humOred man or woman is always well
coined, but the dyspeptic or hypOchon-
driac is not wanted anyWhere and he is
a nuisance as we'll.

THE OIntR SIDE
News Agencies Report Traffic Very
Much Interrupted.

London, Aug. l9.-Partial paralysis
describes the present effect produced
upon Britain's railway SYSTEMS as the
desult OF the strike call laun he'd on
Thursday. The strikers are yet far
from victorious, but the companies
and the public have received an un-
pleasant foretaste OF what the defec-
tion of even n minority OF the rail
way men means. There is no part of
the country absolutely unaffected. but
the dislocation Is felt in the most
varying degrees in different parts OF
the country. The Midland. the North
ern and tho South Wales districts
continue to be the worst sufferers
Large areas east and south are COM
paratively little affected. London
during the daylight hours came off
pretty well, but the prospects began
to cloud as evening came on.
The strike leaders say that 100000
men are already out, but viii not
submit oorroboratiye data. and the
figures are doubted Conferences
we're continued. but the results have
ptcu nli' hb HtSOiluliuNo nave uOi
been abandoned, however, there is
still hope OF an early sestlcment. In.
deed II was rumored that Lloyd
George had made new proposals TO
the men, which are being favorably
considered and are likely to be ac-
cepted.
There Is another repor. that the
tail is wagging the dog. 1t is stated
that Ramsay Macdonald. Arthur Hen.
derson and q. II. Roberts, members
OF parliament. are pressing the heads
OF the labor unions to accept the sug.
gestion of the government. The
strike leaders are dispc ed lo yield,
but the strikers themselves are in
tractable and through their local and
provincial secretaries they threaten
TO repudiate the leaders II they o..
cept. There Is so much secrecy about
the negotiation conferences that It IL
impossible to confirm such reports.
