THE SMILE

Nothing on the earth can
smile but man. Gems may flash
reflected light, but what is a
diamond flash compared to an
eye-fiash and a mirth-fash
Flowers cannot smile; this is a
charm that even they cannot
claim. 1t is the prerogative of
man; it is the color which love
wears, and cheerfulness and joy
these three. 1t is a light in
the windows of the face, by
which the heart signifies it is
at home and waiting. A face
that cannot smile is like a bud
that cannot blossom, and dries
upon the stock. Laughter is
day, and sobriety is night, and
al smile is the twilight that
hovers gently between both
more bewitching than either

the extraneous matters; the court charged
the jury Lot to consider them and the ac-
ton was tried out as a compensation case.
Held there was no preJudicial error in re-

3. The evidence examined and held suffi-

terms of the compensation act, which re-
quires that a claim for compensation be
presented within three months from the
time of the injury.
