The Man Who LAUGHS.

The man whose ha! hal reaches from
one end OF the street to the other may
be the same fellow who scolded his wife
and spanked the baby before he got his
breakfast, but his laughter is only the
cradle Of thorns- under the pot. The
man who spends his laughter through
his life-before late breakfast; when
he misses the train, when his wife goes
visiting and he has to eat cold sup
per; the man who can laugh when he
finds a button off his shirt, when the
furnace gets out at night, and the
twins come down with the measles at
the same time-hes the fellow that's
needed. He never tells his neighbor to
have faith; somehow he puts faith in
to him. He delivers no homilies; some
how the sight of his face, the sound OF
his happy voice and the light Of mis-
blessed daily life, carry convictions that
words have not power to give. The
blues flee before him as the fog before
the west wind. He comes into his own
home like a flood OF sunshine over a
meadow of blooming buttercups, and
his wife and children bloom like June
roses. His home is redolent with sym
pathy and love. The neighborhood is
better for his life, and somebody will
learn from him that laughter is better
