Something About Smiling.

AS nation, we are taking many
things too seriously the high cost

look at them SO sternly and so anx-
inusly that we forget to smile.
especially. at little children and those
We love. We ask children to have
old heads on young shoulders and we
regard those we love as especially
designed by Providence for the un-
loading OF our burdens.
A woman went to meet the man
she loved on his return from long
journey. During his absence, things
had not gone as well with her as they
Might. All the way to the station
and while she waited for the train,
she built UP mentally, the burden she
would gladly unload on his shoulders.
It would be such q relief to talk about
her troubles; and the more she
thought about them the deeperMthe
lines In her forehead. But when the
man stepped of the train, he showed
telltale marks of illness. His
shoulders dropped, his feet Jagged
and there was no light Of welcome in
Ills eyes.
The woman felt a sickening sense
of disappointment. Here was not re-
lief but added trouble. The words
which rose to her lips were: "oh,
dear, you've been ILL" Instead,
some good fairy transmitted them In
to gold.
Dear Heart. it's SO good to sec
you. Then she went to meet him
with her arms outstretched and q
|smile--=a warm, "1-love-you-better-
than=eyerY smile on her lips.
The man who had so long borne
this woman's caprices with the iniin-.
lite patience Of love, responded to that
smile instantly. His step Quickened.
his shoulders seemed to. strafghten
and light came into his eyes. :
"It's certainly good to get back, .
and he smiled too. So was their
meeting g1orified as II by a new
|plighting Of love and by the smile,
rather than by the words. For words
without smiles may be perfunctory
and without welcomes; but real
smile, smile that comes from the
heart and not from the lips, is q 1iy-
ing thing which rises above speech.
When in doubt-smile. Il is a
safe play at almost any stage OF life's
game. But be sure It's the right kind
OF smlle-not the tawning smile,
not the smile Of fear which Is better
described as q grin, but the smile
which says that the world Is a pretty
good sort of q place If you don't take
1t too seriously-the smile that says.

The Morgantown = Post Chronicle,
whose editor is an ,uncomproplis1ng

ny acknowledged a few days ago edi-
tortally that when Progressive non,.~
nations are made independently and
separately from Republican 1omina-
ton. the cause OF Democracy Is
Helped.
Laying aside its narrow partisan
ship In the case Of Howard Suther-
land, the MorgantownS >newspaper
stated that 1t would be political folly
for the Progressive party to nominate
other than Sutherland, the choice of
the Republicans Of this state for re-
election as congressman-at-large, and
70 nominate q third man would be to
add 70 Thomas 2. Hodges's candidacy
and, perhaps, result in his election.
= as the Morgantown newspaper
contends that would be the case In
reference to Hodges. does not the
rule hold good in other cases? All
men opposed to Democratic destruc.

wake up to the fact that division Of
forces aids Democracy and to another
fact that Democracy is encouraging
