The Man Who Laughs.

The man whose ha! ha! reaches
from one end of the street to the
other may be the same fellow who
scolded his wife and spanked the
baby before he got his breakfast, but
his laughter is only the cradle OF
thorns under the pot. The man who
spreads his laughter through his life
before a late breakfast, when he
misses the train, when his wife goes
visiting and he has to eat cold sup

he finds a button off his shirt, when
the furnace goes out at night and
the twins come down with the meas

that's needed, He never tells his
neighbor to nave faith; somehow he
puts faith into him. He delivers no
homilies; somehow the sight of his
face, the sound OF his happy voice
and the light of his blessed daily
life carry conviction that words have
not power to give. The blues flee

a meadow of blooming buttercups,
and his wife and children bloom like
June roses, His home is redolent

THE FRESH AIRERS.

In many railroad trains and sta

strange picture of glee, humor and
pathos, a group of city children on
a fresh air" outing. The little bios

terward the flower faces come back
so stiff and perky, as if they were
wired up.
The appeal for this charity gets
wide attention. The Christian Her.
AIDS fund was recently swelled by
$500 through a group of distant
Rocky mountain cowboys. Most OF
them were unmarried men. Some
newspaper story touched them, and
they drove for days over the weary
plains to advertise their benefit cir

Ruddy faces can't be built up on

infant on a big red tomato. When

The benefit of the fresh air work
is not merely the temporary stimula-
tion of good, nourishing food, fresh
air and a fortnight of joy. A de-
sire to flee the unwholesome slums
may be created. OF course many of
them prefer the Gathering crowds of
the cities. When they quit for the

they 1onchalantly yell Goodbye,

of the farm.

New York Has Queer Crime Trust.
AS against this evidence of the
spirit of thrift permeating the ma
jority of American citizens may be
set an interesting story of the thrift
less, shiftless criminal minority. 1t
has been said that in America all
things are systematized, even crime,
and a proof of it is seen in the dis
covery of receivers trust" in New
York. We have long since heard of
the ''pickpockets' trust" the "extor-
TONERS trust" and the larson trust.
but the receivers combine appears
to be the biggest of them all Ac-
cording TO the assistant district at
torney, six men comprise the trust.
1t has been estimated by the Mer-
chants Association that goods to the
value of $5,O0O.0OO are stolen annu-
ally from the piers and lofts of New
York city, and from trucks Oh the
streets. A great share of the stuff
passes through the hands of the re-
ceivers' trust. They make more
money than any other group of crime
operators in the world. This makes
the Conan Doyle story of the London
Napoleon of Crime" and bis gang
of henchmen look like small sub
urban operators.
Origin of Bird Names for Dances.
A Greek student has arisen to
show that the modern custom of
naming dances after animals and
birds, far from being new, is thou
sands of years old. He points on;
the crane" dance as one of the old
est in Grecian history. Plutarch
speaks of it and ancient writer's de-
scribe it as being accompanied with
blows, and of such serpentine charac-
ter it was an imitation of the Cretan
labyrinth. However, it is more like
ly to have been named after the
crane because of the movements of
that bird. 1t was a favorite piece
during the interludes in the Athen-
ian theatre. In any case it antici-
pated the turkey trot by many cen
turies.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Books and Newspapers.

DOCKS ana Newspapers.
Book are wonderful, not only in
their multiplicity, but in their per-
suasive power, The books and pa
pers of today mould the minds of
men. They are not only an intel
lectual but moral force. If all
books and papers were correct in
principle and in judgment, there
would be rapid decline in
crime. Crime is due to ignor-
ance and ignorance is due to
false preaching or no teaching.
Much of the viciouGness, anarchy
and restlessness OF modern times is
due to the pernicious influence of
newspapers and books written by
men who are either purposely delud-
ing the people or lacking in under
standing. If we would purify our
people we must put our newspapers
into the hands of men who will not
sacrifice truth and morality to politi-
cal and financial ends. We must
have literary censorship, that books
may be examined and those of evil
influence condemned before they
reach the people. We all have much
to learn and it is economy of time
to read only the old and we'll tried
books. Books and papers teach us
to know life-the present and the
past. They stimulate and train the
mind. They inspire us by example
and precept. They teach us moral
ity. They help us to distinguish be-
tween the good and the false. They
quicken the imagination. They give
us worthy and beautiful things to
think and talk about. They are the
best and most accessible means of
education.

which one of the dancers was escort

been danced patronesses observed
that there was a tendency to dance

patronesses had not seen such an exhi-

to dance the turkey trOt and the tan
