A laugh is just like sunshine;
It freshens all the day;
It tips the peaks Of life with light
And drives the clouds away.
The soul grows glad that hears it
And feels its courage strong;
A laugh is just like sunshine,
For cheering felix's along.
A laugh is just like music,
It fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills Of life depart.
And happy thoughts come crowding
Its joyful notes to greet;
A laugh is just like music
For making living sweet.

There is no question that great

Nsone to Germany under the guise of
innocent business and personal mat

suggest only ordinary business trans
actions. Yet they may all convey

German spies have had plenty Of
time to arrange these codes, and they
no doubt have them down fine.
1t would see a legitimate PROPOSE

quire a person desiring use OF tho
cables to be personally vouched for
by parties in position to give such
an endorsement. If a man can't get
