 His religious faith, not his political principle, made young Harlan a Know Nothing in 1855 and it was religious in tolerance that took thousands of Bap- lists out of the Democratic party in Ken lucky and sent them into the lodges of the latitudinarians, who were eager to deny political freedom to their fellow cit izens because of a difference of religious belief Kentucky was engulfed in the raging sea of fanaticism but soon emerged iron, it's depths.

As it was. the thing was better managed by the friends of Simms, and the episode was distra strous to Harlan, who was beaten by less than 100 votes.

It was one of the most exciting contests even Kentucky ever knew and Clays majority was precisely 113.

HeaIthfuI Laughter.

The habit of laughter is one well
worth acquiring. Not the habit OF
silly Sinking or meaningless giggling
over nothing, but the we'll developed
sense of fun and humor that renders
1t easy to find amusement in situations
and circumstances that otherwise
might be mournful, or at least trying,
and which bubbles forth in merry and
genial laughter.
Such habit is not always easy to &C.
quire. especially when the natural
taste and temperament lie in other di-
rections, but, once established. it more
than repays the effort Of attainment.
The ready laugher usually is blessed
with good temper. good digestion,
good hold upon life generally. and not
only enriches but prolongs life for
sundry less fortunate fellows. Who
has not known a man or woman whose
hearty. jovial or silvery laughter made
all the world seem better? The good
laugher. other things being equal. may
be set down as q good citizen and q
good friend.
