THIS FORD TAKES
 DRIVER INTO LAKE

 In the cattle country, the cow pun chers all know that when cows feet get too hot for comfort, the COW will jump into steram or oth- CT water, to cool her pedal eXtremi- ties.
 A Pine Bluff Ford which yester- day morning jumped into Noble Lake, in all likelihood had learned that the water would cool hot feet, and de- cided to profit by the lesson. The Ford was hauled into the city, after being coaxed from the lake, and is ap- parently as active and energetic as ever.

Laugh Is Effective Weapon.

An optlmlst, q woman who has the best of reasons to regard fate unkind- ly, has found laugh the best weapon With which to meet calamity. She laughs when bit of china, dear to her heart, comes to grief, and can even achieve something like laugh when she learns of the treachery of a friend. Her optimism is the sole Mold she has on life, for unusual nerve strain would shorten her life if it did not result in immediate death. The difficulty of achieving philosophy under better con- ditiOns is beyond some of us, and here is woman who has had the courage to laugh in the face of circumstances that might well leave her sore and bitter.-Exchange.

 Mrs. Smalley is a practical idealist "l did missionary work in the slums of New York and on Rlackwcii's is land," sho explains 'ospo, tally among poor girls, and l know them and their problems"
 Above all, Mrs. Smallcy is q Wo manly woman, profoundly concerned With a sacred mission: that of mal- ing her art a source of enlightenment and uplift. And she has the courage of her convictions.

IS BABY RESTLESS AT N{GHT!

Many times baby is made restless by sleeping with his head unconfort- ably high on a feather OF down pil- low, which causes the head to per- spire and the neck muscles tC become strained. The baby should be placed on his side in his crib in order that he shall not choke if he happens to throw up his food. If he is on his back and this happens, the food may go down the windpipe Sleeping on his side, the food will simply run out of his mouth. When the baby is changed, he should be placed in his crib on the other side from the one upon which he has been sleeping, so that all the muscles will be rested in turn.-Marianna Wheeler in "The Care of Children" in the Peoples Home Journal for September.

Mrs. Wilson's Lack of Jewelry.

One of the things that Washington
is noticing about Mrs. Wilson is the
fact that she, the owner of a jewelry
business that has been established for
a century, wears almost no jewelry
herself. One really handsome orna-
ment seems to be about all she cares
for even on state occasions, and most
frequently she wears none. People
observed, with a grin Of rather mali
cious delight, that the president went
to st. Margarets with Mrs. Wilson
one Sunday. 1t was the first time, and
downed the rumOr that he was too
good a Presbyterian to go inside an
