He Who Laughs.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

FROM 'le MllWdukee JplrnaI
There are people who take life too
seriously. They allow their souls to he
eaten up with cares and anxieties
Many worries are useless and help
nothing. Bits of humor are lost on
these persons. They wonder how any
one can be so thouehtless about the
realities of life. In all the animal crea-
tion laughter is given to man alone
given him, like all other faculties. to
make the best of Laughter. it is true
is not for all times and occasions but
il has its place and is necessary to our
well being. A laugh is a cure for many
ills. 1t aids digestion and so tends TO
good health. 1t prolongs life. Laugh
ter often settles disa greement and
prevents real troubles. Hard working
business and professional men some
times forget to laugh The strain OF
work grips them hard. and they get
old before their time. The ability to
see the humorous side of an accident q
mistake a folly. is great aid in
making life more endura BILE. Laughter
overdone, like all virtues carried to
excess. is a vice or a folly. Cultivate
your sense of humor. Better to laugh
too often than not to laugh often
enough
who laughs knows no defeat

And in the farthest field that stretches

women, one of whom had left a paper
| behind.
| The man picked up the paper. and
after first glance at the chart OF
tangled lines his face took on the eN-
preston which he doubtless reserves
for problems
He weighted the corners down with
salt and pepper shakers and ran MS
| fingers along the lines.
Then he went into a pocket for his
handkerchief and rubbed his glasses
Then he went in pocket for pen
ell and again followed the tanSle OF
formed of stars and some of broken
dashes. They crawled over every
where, twisting into each other, and
then tacking Off into individual streaks
as if nothing had happened.
And the more he studied the paper
the less the man seemed to under
stand.
The waiter had to speak twice before
securing attention. And when the man
had given his order he went back to
his lines.
When the waiter brought dinner the
man studied the chart between bites.
And when he went away he carried it
with him.
To him the thing was a mystery. but
The woman at the next table could
have told him that it was only pat
tern supplement from a fashion ma ga
zine.
She was burdened-not accompa MED
by two children and their obvious
grandma. And when the four of them
get off car at a transfer station in
time to see the trolley they wanted
Xhizz by she felt called upon to wall:
Isn't it too provoking, | don't
catch one car in fifty. You. Tommy,
stop dragging the handle of that UNI
brella. Susie take your thumb out of
your mouth this minute. You've got

No momma did not have the trans

Well, if it isn't enough to upset a

for the tickets it was as little as you
could do to attend to the transfers
All right, you'll just have to walk.

She looked it. Furthermore. she
sounded that way. And while the TRADE
was in full operation momma bent her
head as if to an accustomed storm and
the children huddled at her skirts as
if they were used to doing it. Also:
A middleased man, who had over
heard. along with everybody else for a
dozen yards around. was good enough
to rush back to the car in time to get
the transfers. And as he handed them
to the younger woman he said-also
loud enough for the twelve yards to

almost-imply the sympathy felt by
those women you read about who are
loyal to the criminals they belong to.
Which is a perfectly ridiculous thing to
say, of course, seeing she was only
COW.
Nailed to a cedar post was a plank
which warned any passerby who might
have social inclinations. to
Keep away, This bull is wicked"
Any one could tell he was wicked by
the way he paved wells into the earth
and tried, without succeeding. to shed
his chain SO that his horns could have
dig at the fence rails, only
Who made him wicked? Satan
wouldn't bother to tempt bull that
had no soul to be lost. and yet every
body knows that wickedness means sin.
The woman who had nothing better
to do with her time than to stand in
the road and consider the situation was
about to trudge on when she sighted
farm hand coming down the slope. He
was trundling Wheelbarrow of buck
cts filed with feed and water. and
when he had pitchforked one and
poured the other into the pen the
woman asked for information. And
the man dispensed it after this wise:
Animate are like humans. some bad
and whole lot of 'em good-it all de-
pends upon what sorter health they
are in. This chap has got to go to the
slaughter house because he'd rather
gore you than eat, while his brother is
so mild-tempered you could ride him
all over the field. Badness amt a
fault. ma'am; it's a misfortune that
comes from some sorter crimp in the
brains"
This seemed to start the theological
situation on new tangent which the
woman preferred not to follow, so:
She went up the road instead.

EASTERN BUYERS SEEK

interests were greatly excited when
it was learned on good authority
that eastern buyers are purchasing
large quantities Of wheat in the
northwest. Exporters have a large
number of high priced ship charters
on hand and fear If a distinct rise
should occur in the price Of wheat
the vessel owners would absorb most
of the profit. Although the wheat
crop in the east is the greatest in
history, 1t was said to be lacking in
