Death. Expert Mechanic.

% Careful When You LAUGH.

Few people know what dangers lurh
In excessive laughter When we laugh
our regular breathing is changed, com.
ing In quick, short respirations because
the throat muscles are contracted. II
Is for this reason that. when laughing
very heartily at some good joke. we
have often to gasp for breath. AT
times we are obliged to hold our sides
on account Of the pain hearty laugh
causes us. owing to the partial suffoca.
ton OF the lungs through the cutting
on OF their proper air supply. Every
muscle in the body becomes contracted
during continued ct of laughter.
Often the blood vessels In the face be-
come congested. causing 1t to turn red
and even purple. Should this conges-
ton continue for any length of time
apoplexy resulting in death might well
occur. 1t Is better in these circum-
stances to laugh until we cry. for the
shedding of tears relieves the conges-
ton of the brain. Tears caused by
grief do good In the same way, and
that is how. after great sorrow. many
people have been saved from brain
congestion and madness by the timely
shedding OF few tears.-London Tit

Adventures In a Kilt.

A Scotch military official has just
finished an imperial tour in a kilt. He
walked through india. Ceylon, Aus
tralla and New Zealand. covering over
10000 miles. says the London Mail.
THE highlander's garb," he says.
attracted a surprising amount of at
tention. At laramie. in Italy. was
arrested for doing an impromptu high
land ding In the street. In Ceylon
came near to being murdered at re
hgiOus festival, for people took me for
a devil. In New Zealand a Maori
chief offered me native bride In ex-
change for the costume. My kilt was
certainly a nuisance sometimes The
sun in Australia is so powerful that
spent much money on eau de cologne
with which to battle my exposed knees
in an attempt to keep off mosquitoes"

MILLIcAN NEWS MATTERS.

We have been receiving a series OF
nice showers of rain the past week.
1t came just in time to keep the corn
crop from being burned up. Cotton,
sweet potatoes, sugar cane and gar
den truck crops were also greatly
benefited.
Watermelons are just beginning to
get ripe. Although unusually late
about coming in, conditions are so that
large crop win be raised here this
season.
There was large number of Mill
can people who took advantage of
the w. O. w. excursion TO spend a
day at Laporte. Everyone reported a
nice time. The water certainly was
fine, but there was a blistering hot
sun above, a fact which can readily be
ascertained by a minute examination
of any bather's face, shoulders. neck,
and If he happened TO be baldheaded,

In the forming of sheep clubs for
the boys and girls of Texas. there is

There is no use whatever of trying
to raise sheep or goats in a section
of the country that is infested with
sheep-killing dogs | know of a man
that bought twelve sheep FIVE years
ago. He had determined to raise a
bunch of sheep. Today he still has
twelve head, but four of these are not
of the original twelve; they were pur-
chased since. The reason he has
raised no sheep is that the dogs kill
every lamb and sometimes a eve or
two. If dog law was passed in
Texas, or tax placed on dogs, these
worthless sheep-killing dogs would
soon be done away with. 999.

1t is essential that the greater part

use in order that mankind may be

That is the most benevolent usg

But states and municipalities can
not save and never do. If they at

Usually there is no saving. If there

LINCOLN AS A WORLD INFLU-
ENCE.

In his address at Springfield, H.,
on Lincoln Day the German ambas-
sador to the United States, Count
Won Bernstorff, touched ably on one
of the live issues Of the times when
he pointed out that the work per-
formed by Lincoln in his own coun-
try has been shaping force to an
important degree in other civilized
races and nations. The count traced
this feeling in the desire of Ger
many for unification, a wish realized
since Lincoln's death and encour-
aged by his work and example. If
the American union had been torn
asunder the value of federated states
would have been held in doubt, and
the arguments of history would have
been against racial and political af-
| filiations. In all probability such
alliances as that now active in
/ southeastern Europe would not ex-
, list, for if this country had failed it's
history would be q warning, not an
/ inspiration.
What the ambassador said about
| 1877, 600 men of German birth who
enlisted in the union armies is de-
served, and it will never be under
valued, least OF all in Missouri,
where it was inestimable at most
critical time. This great army OF
Germans in America had been born
under monarchical government
and spoke another language. But
there were entire regiments of Ger
mans in the union forces east and
west, and they performed their work
with full courage and devotion
They offered their lives in an adopt
ed country because the ideals, bes
conceived and expressed by Lincoln
: appealed to their sense of right an<
justice for all men. If Germany ha!
gained good for itself from thu
words and deeds of Lincoln, from
what was achieved under his leader
ship, it is but part payment of th'
debt to the liberty-loving German
: who have found home in this coun
try, and aided in its upbuilding. !
e unified Germany, ever advancing II
the scale of nations, is a gratifying
= fact to Americans.

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

A bill introduced by Senator
Green, representing a Kansas City
district in the Missouri state, senate,
is probably an outgrowth of the war
against the divorce evil which has
for some time been raging in Mis-
souri's second city. Kansas City has
been graphing the evil at many
points She has appointed and sal
aried a divorce p rector whose Off
cial duty it is to examine into every
case coming before the courts of
Jackson county, 70 exhaust every
possible means of reconciling the
alienated pairs, and to be adviser of
the presiding judge as to matters not
brought out in the evidence.
In his latest official report the
Kansas City divorce proctor named
hasty marriage as one of the most
prolific causes of divorce. We take
it that Senator Green's bill propos-
ing to prohibit marriages in Missouri
which are not advertised in three
successive issues of newspaper
printed at the home of the prospect
i've bride grows out of the proctors
official revelations. The proctor's
report was really no revelation at
all, except in statistical way. 1t
has been plain, during dozen yealS
past, that marriages growing out OF
"dares' and challenges to be
game" and soon to be followed with
complaints of "incompatibility, have
come to constitute large percentage
of alleged causes. The proctor's re-
port showed us how large the per-
centage really is, at least in Kansas
City, which we accept as typical in
this respect. The Moore bill seems
to be an effort to correct, as far as
may be, the conditions out of which
this evil grows.
The measure is rot so fantastic as
it may appear at first glance. 1t has
always been easy 10 presume that a
three days thinking spell would
bring a returning reason and sense
of obligation to very many if not the
most of the giddy young creatures
who make these fly-by-night mar
riages. The plan might not worl
we'll, if tried. In fact, it is not easy
to see how it coulf be made to worl
without the concurrence of the par
ties to such matches, which coulC
only be inspired by fear CROWN!
out of the drastic enforcement of tn,
law. And such enforcement Nigh
not be easy. A proclaiming of bann
is the best means of advertising
forthcoming marriages, and if thi
cannot serve the fluid and tumultu
Gus social structure of today it /
not going to be at all easy to fin
something which will take its place
Yet the evil remains and a practica
bile remedy is well worth thinkin
about

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.
1t Affects municipalities More Seri-
ously Than Private Families.

San Francisco Chronicle: During
the eight years from 1902 to 1910,
according to a census report just
issued, the cost of the municipal
housekeeping of 145 American cities
having a population of 10000 or
more in 1900 increased from $419,-
S19,O91 to $717,SS2,232, or 66.6 per
cent. while population has increased
much less, actual Ter capita taxation
having increased 35.4 per cent dur
ing the period.
The total revenue of the 1Si cities
having in 1910 a population of 3O,-
900 or over was $759,942,445, of
which $S3,197,472 was gross re-
ceipts from public mostly
water supply-13S cities out of 1S4
owning their own water systems.
An impressive statement in the re-
port is that the revenue of New
York city in 1910 was $l97,779,S33,
or &c per cent of all the money
raised for municipal purposes in the
United States.
Great as the increase of cost of
city government was from 1902 to
1910, it is a matter of common
knowledge that in this state per cap
ita cost is now increasing even more

IN THE AVALANCHE OF GOLD.

Early in life John d. Rockefeller
set himself to fight against the pow
erty which had skimped the bread
upon his fathers table, which had
caused him to shiver when other
children had been warm, which had
put restrictions upon an education
he greatly desired and for which he
had an unusual gift at absorbing.
He fought to such purpose that for
the curse of poverty he overcame he
acquired the curse of great wealth,
for every adversely he mastered he
became so much more the slave of
vast possessions.
Behold him now deluged with
money, caught in an avalanche of
gold. The other cay a lump sum of
ten millions of dollars was placed to
his account-a windfall which but
merely added to the weight upon his
back, which but chained him the
more to his money bags, which
could but cause the persons who
guard him now as a prisoner is
guarded to draw their lines in clos
er. He has untold .wealth-and un-
told fear. He has property beyond
his own power to Teckon-and he is
not free to so and come as he likes.
He has fought with poverty-and all
the doors of treasure vaults are
opened to rain their holdings upon
him and around him until he seems
like an insect caught in a pit of
| loose-running sand.
One may wonder if Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter honestly thinks. that the fight has
been worth while. And we may Won
der, too, if the persons who envy
him have any conception at all OF
! what they are envying.

SOCIALISM NOT FOR THE
FARMER.

Victor l.. Berger, the Wisconsin
socialist says: I'VE cannot have
socialism in this country if we don't
get the farmers in some way"
And probably that is exactly why
we shall not have socialism in this
country Socialism does not appeal
TO the farmer.
Every socialist agricultural colony
that has been organized in this
country has been a failure as far as
we can remember. The success of
the farmer depends upon private
profit. The moment he is deprived
of his absolute right in these he
loses all incentive to anything more
than perfunctory effort. and that
does not result in successful farm
ing.
In every agricultural community
there is generally one farm that is
easily the best. No other occupation
so quickly shows the effects of in
dividual effort and skill, and it is
not in human nature to be willing
to turn over the fruits of ones labor
TO the less energetic and duller
neighbor. There may be a commun-
ity OF business interests among farm
ers. as in marketing and selling
crops. but it must be a community OF
interest that is easily and accurately
measured in dollars. The farmeI
will not "go halves" with any not sc
we'll equipped as himself with en-
ergy, foresight, thrift and the othel
qualities that enable one man t
grow while another goes to seed.

wants to know whether he looks like
his photograph, and to see what kind
of clothes he wears
