The next time your friend fails

Der lot Of things. Remember the
tunes when she did not fail you, when
she might have. And remember the
time-and you are much deserving IL
there is only one such time-when
you. too, failed a friend in the same
way.
Possibly you were Just careless, or
possibly the selfish interest at stake
overwhelmed you. Anyway, you had

And it didn't mean that you really

LAUGHTER AND TEARS.

Why an Outburst Of the One May
Cause a Flow of the Other.
What is laughter and why do tears
so often accompany it?
On each side OF the throat is an ar
terry called the carotid. AT the level Of
the larynx this divides. one branch,
which carries blood to the brain, being
called the internal. the other, which
distributes blood 10 the face. being
called the external. These two branches
are Joined about the level Of the eyes
by the ophthalmic artery, which forms
a canal between them. This commu-
nication is the cause of the close con-
necrion between the brain and the tear
glands, between laughter and grief.
both OF which are generators Of tears.
Physiologically, a burst Of laughter
is nothing but a strenuous effort, like
lifting a heavy weight. In both cases
the muscles of the throat and stomach
contract.
When laughter is excessive the
whole body is convulsed; every muscle
Is contracted. In the place Of normal
respiration come short intermittent
respirations. insufficient TO free the

The Argus Daily Story
The Queendom of Xanthos-By F. A. Mitchell
Copyrighted. 1914 by Associated Literary Bureau.

A clever young woman Of Athens,
when that city was the intellectual
center of Greece, lectured In the mar
ket place on the subject OF the inferior
rights possessed by women and urged
her fellow citizenesses to demand the
privileges OF men. She succeeded in
inaugurating a movement with that
end in view. and the demand was
made. But it was denied
Then this young feminine leader
Thenia was her name-proposed to the
malcontents that they should go to one
of the islands of the Grecian archipel-
ago which was uninha bited. take pos
session of it and assume the same priv
neges that were possessed by the men
of Athens.
The scheme was put into effect, and
the island. then called Xanthos, became
a woman's community, Thenia having
been chosen queen. At the time the
women took possession of it their rad
ical wing was in the ascendancy, and
no men were invited to join them.
The leader of this wing. Hermodia. a
very homely woman, argued that they
had no use for men and could take
care Of themselves AS to perpetuating
their community, they could draw con-
tinually from the women OF other
parts. But one day a pirate ship came
to Abe island and spread CONSERVATION
among the inhabitants. Queen Thenia
sent for Hermodia to lead a corps of
smazons against the intruders. The
man hater was found hiding under the
bed
The pirates were bought or. and the
queen proposed to enlist a corps of
men to be held ready for the protec-

It should be called-to be paid for their

LAFoLLErTE ON ROOSEVELT.


United States Senator Robert ". La
Toilette is iabbing the bull moose
18th a very sharp stick when he at
lacks Roosevelt's record as a progress
sive.
1t is, perhaps, better and more be-
coming to pity rather than to con-
denim those ardent supporters OF
Roosevelt who believe he is the Moses
to lead the people Of this nation out
Of the wilderness, but their devotion
looks like insensate hero worship. One
fails to find any Moses-like qualities
of leadership in Roosevelt.
Bob LaFollette trims him down
aocut right wnen he says that Roose-
welt gave no encouragement TO tie
progressive movement when 1t was in
its incipiency. This is true. It might
be well TO recall Roosevelt's attitude
toward LaFollette when the latter
was candidate for election in Wiscon-
sin. LaFollette was recognized as a
pioneer in the so-called republican
progressive" movement He was a
genuine. sincere, tireless progressive
worker. Roosevelt was doing some
campaigning at the time, but he care.
fully avoided going into Wisconsin.
He snubbed LaFollette and left MIN u
fight his progressive battle alone. La
Toilette won.
Now OF. course LaFollette may be
fighting Roosevelt for revenge, but he
is consistent in his warfare upon the
bull moose. The reasonable man can
understand, however, how in the
world LaFollette with his progressive
ness and patriotism can support Taft
whose nomination was the result OF
the most vicious boss" politics and
political fraud which the Wisconsin
little giant" ever opposed. No one
can support Taft without condoning
the Chicago convention fraud
/ LaFollette may criticise that Chica
go convention national committee
gang. but If he supports Taft he doe.

welt republicans, is obviously between

The answer is: Win With Wilson.

Moving pictures innovations are
making a literal panorama OF mans
life today. Every home may be con-
sidered a stage and every member Of
the family a player with a star part.
The camera is focused on the striking
moments in human careers and the
crank is turned while the domestic
scenes are perpetuated on the moving
film. The day approaches apparently
when the professional performer may
be done away with and simple ma
chine installed, having rank with the
photograph and the piano player as
adjuncts of entertainment, distraction
and instruction in the home.
The anniversaries and celebrations
that are milestones in every human life
have been seized upon as fit subjects

session is the little roll that will I'M
| fold the actual drama of the nuptial
| ceremony. The smile of the bride, the
pride of the bridegroom, the beaming
| faces OF wedding guests, the glory of
the wedding finery and the gorgeous
ness of the elaborate decorations are
caught by the camera man and pre-
scented beyond a peradventure of mis-
representation. Friends who were I'M
able TO attend the ceremony may see
1t afterward, true to the life.
In later years children may make
merry over the absurd appearance that
father and mother presented in their
funny" wedding clothes. Father and
mother themselves. as they grow older,
will take an ill-concealed delight in
looking at themselves as they were in
that joyous golden age.
Arrangements were made to photo
graph the marriage of Miss Jennie

While the Tribune's observation is
a trifle overdrawn and some very good
men have occupied the vice president s
chair and have become president

by the career OF its pet candidates for

Queen Thenia was encouraged by
this reasoning. but the barracks were
built on a point standing out into the
Aegean sea, and wall was construct

the island. Then she,gave orders that
no soldier should cross the wall.
But the queen forgot that all COM

Family Events in Moving Pictures

little more than two years ago, not
content with picturing the happy feat
ures of that event, went back to the
red letter days of their courtship and
posed, as we'll as the addition of 25
years would let them, as swain and
sweetheart.
Hugh F. Hoffman, who claims to
have been the first man TO suggest the
cinematographic wedding, asserts that
the moving picture will be the future
family tree and that it will discount
all other genealogical and heraldic
methods Of showing what a family
really is and what it came from. Each
member of the family may have a
print of the foundation of the family,
and so it may continue for centuries.
When it is adopted the gorgeous
wedding will no longer be a merely
! ephemeral spectacle. 1t will be kept
| in such form that it may be repro
duced at any time All kinds of family
events will be available in the same
way. That momentous first step, the
antics of first baby and the gradua-
tons of all the boys and girls, the
/ debuts and the engagements, court
ships and marriages of successive gen.
erations will be present in pictorial
form.
There will have to be special de-
partment in the library CT all we'll

the little rolls will be kept, along with
the printed books on the family's his
tory. One family in Chicago has al
ready begun to photograph the birth
day festivities of the only child, and
this it to be done each year until
the child arrives at maturity. Photo
graphic birthdays, with a new candle
added each year, are sure to become
popular.

ing up all the high days and holidays
of life so that they can be unrolled on
