The president of the Indiana HUI

day to get the permission of j. E.

latter for the indianapolis Star and
copied into metropolitan papers, con-
corning the advisability of teaching
children to consider the dumb ami
mails. -
One hundred thousand copies of this
article will be prepared in booklet for
distribution.
The reason for the society's action
is this: The officers of the National
Humane Association requected the Of

Association, or the body having the
preparation of the international Sun
day school leaflets in charge, to In

COUNTY CHA|RMEN
MEET ON TUESDAY
District Republican Leaders
To Decide on Congress-
ional Convention.

Richmond will probably be select
ed by the Republican county chair
men of the Sixth Indiana Congress
sional district as the logical place to
hold the congressional convention. A
meeting Of the county chairmen of
this district has been called for next
Tuesday, July 16, at Connersville, at
which time the place and date of the
convention will be set. The convention
is being looked forward to in keen an
ticipation, because of the peculiar pol
itical situation which now exists in
this district.
The great question which confronts
the Taft party is who is to be the
congressional candidate? AS yet there
have been no announcement made
Some say Our Jim" Watson will be
the man. Several other men have been
suggested but as yet the Office goes
begging.
1t is asserted by friends of Watson
that he will absolutely refuse the
nomination IL rendered to him. He has
stated that he finds the practice Of
law more profitable. At present he Is
busy campaigning for Taft.

Laughter said Professor Sir
Charles Bell. sis a convulsive action of
the diaphragm. In this state the per-
son draws a full breath and throws it
out in interrupted, short and audible
cachinnations. This CONFUSION of the
diaphragm is the principal part Of the
physical manifestation of laughter.
But there are several accessories.
especially the sharp vocal utterance
arising from the violent tension of the
larynx and the expression of the fea-
lures. this being a more intense form
of the smile. In extreme cases the
eyes are moistened by the effusion
from the lachrymal glands
There are some people who cannot
laugh. who are wholly unable to enjoy
either the physical or the mental lux
ury of laugh. Thus it was said of
William III. that he was utterly at a
loss to understand what could be got
out of laughter except loss of dignity.
There are many persons in history
who have been, according to common
report, incapable of laughter. Queen
Mary l.. John Knox. Robespierre and
Moltke are examples. The Iron Duke

Trenton, July 25.-Governor's
Day at the State House yesterday
lacked much of its life because of
the absence of Governor Wilson, the
! knowledge that he was to be here
having resulted in few politicians
coming to the capitol. There was
a small gathering, however, of state
leaders, politicians and members of
the Legislature and the chief topic
of discussion among them was the
Roosevelt third party convention in
session at Asbury Park
Practically all of those in the
State House corridors were Regular
Republicans, the Bull Moose fol-
lowers all being at the Asbury Park
gathering. Colonel Roosevelt was
severely scored by the Regulars for
the third party proclivities, they
taking the view hat having been de-
feated at Chicago he should be will

cision.

ment:
The results of the examinations

alton, 10000 received 80 points or

Bryan has regarded Roosevelt as a
