The Riuht Not to Laugh.

II one were to accuse you Of poison
ing your grandmother you would pre-
sumably smile in unruf11ed fashion and
go about your affairs without feeling
any burden of accusation. But If one
accused you Of lacking a sense Of hu.
NOR you would first Of all resent it in
dignantly, and, furthermore, for an in
definite time to come you would be
conscious of desire to disprOve the
charge, scrutinizing anxiOusly every
phrase that might conceal some subtle
hidden test. emitting how and then
forced laughs on suspicion. Perhaps
you boast your emancipation in many
fields. where public opinion crstomarily
rules. You wear straw bat when
you please: you object to the insignia
of mourning: you fiaunt your readiness
to discuss any subject in mixed com
pany; you do or do not serve butter at
your dinner table. Yet you are afraid
you may not laugh in the right places.
Many a one who proclaims his right to
individuality Of opinion fears to assert
an equally inalienable right not to
laugh. Deep in his heart he breads the
withering accusation that he lacks
sense of humor.-Burges Johnson in
Harper's Magazine.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1916-11-09
Beaumont Greater Than Fletcher.

Francis Beaumont is most renowned
for his share in writing Beaumont and
Fletcher's plays. partnership proba-
bly, unequaled in the history of litera-
ture and very seldom rivaled. The
Alsatian novelists, who ultimately
quarreled, Erckmann and Chatrian.
and the English novelists Besant and
Rice are somewhat parallel, although
Sir Walter Besant went On writing
successfully for years after the death
of his colleague. In the Eliza bethan
partnership it was otherwise Fletch-
er, though the elder man. outlived his
friend for more than nine years and
proved himself the lesser poet. Beau
mont was laid to rest in the poets cor
ner of Westminster abbey, which he
has sung in such noble verse.-London
Globe.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1916-11-09
Death and Life Masks.

In the preparation of death masks
the usual method is to cover the face
of the dead body with oil and then ap-
ply plaster of paris. The oil prevents
too close adhesion to the skin and
makes it possible to remove the plas-
ter when it has hardened. A mold is
thus formed, into which fresh plaster
is poured. The resulting cast is the
death mask. Death masks are of
course exact resemblances Of the faces
from which they are made, and their
value is impaired only by the changes
of contour which may have been caused
by death itself The custom Of taking
death masks is very ancient and wide
spread as well. The Romans made
them of wax. the Egyptians of thin
gold plate. A few specimens have been
found among the American Indians.
Life masks are similarly made, but
mobility of expression is necessarily
sacriiced.-New York Times.
