Even when we go 10 a picture show

one laugh. Some one has said Man
is the only creature endowed with the
power of laughter" Certainly, If we
have that power, we are expected TO
exercise IT semi-occasionally, at least.
Laughter is a nerve tonic, a life
giving, pulse-quickening cordial. "a
merry heart doeth good like a medi-
cine" said the wisest man nor can II
be denied that there would be less sick
bodies and fewer diseased minds was
this happy prescription from the Sa-
cred Book taken instead Of some stu
pefying mixture from the pharmaco-

The world has always acknowledge
ed the need of more laughter Back
in the centuries the courts sought to
increase the supply in the develop
ment of testers, whose duty it was to
provoke laughter, and down the ages
has come this same paucity of merri-
ment which all the comedians, all the
comic artists and all the wit demon
strators have failed to lessen, simply
because man is endeavoring to reverse
the law of nature and have some one
make for him what only he can create
in quantity sufficient for self-satis-
faction.
A merry heart, sunny disposition.
a laugh-loving nature. these are not
so much gift as they are products
of cultivation. Ingersoll wrote many
beautiful rhapsodies but none so sur

PAY.rP Day.

There are Mothers Days and Faith

nobody ever heard OF Pay-Up Day
Now if we could only have Pay-Up
Day. q day on which everybody that

could then pay everybody you owe. it
would be a day really worth while.
II it could not all be accomplished

not the Pay-Up week2 If the mer-
chant viii look over his slow account

rounding each individual debtor as far
as he is able. he will discover that the
great majority of them are good"
Now. what does good" mean? A
good" debt means one that is either
collectable al law or that the debtor
is an individual of such character
that he may be counted upon to rec
ognize the moral obligation of his
transactions, and viii. sooner or later,
voluntarily pay what he owes. The
great trouble from the merchants
standpoint of the standpoint Of any
one wishing 10 preserve the favor of
those with whom he has business. is
that he does not wish to appear to be
persistent"
mans business is appreciated.
and the merchant does not like to
importune him for money for fear he
will get sore" and take his trade
elsewhere. and. so long as the ac-
count is good" and he is able to carry
it. it is better 10 lose the use of the
money for a time than to take the
chance of losing the future business of
the debtor The indulgence of the
merchant is accountable for half the
overdue accounts.
If some one would start the bali
rolling a great lot of money would
change hands at once and a whole lct
Of accounts would be settled up with
a little actual cash. The "Pay-Up
