Fourth of July
By b.

Immediately after breakfast on Fourth of July
morning the inmates assembled in Recreation
Park and at the command to break ranks the great
majority made dive for the lemonade stand. where
that most delectabe ice cold lemonade made in
the shade, stirred with rusty spade, all served by

or unlimited. However, the thrsts were soon salts

played catch, while others watched the regular team
warming up the diamond. Chairs being brought
out for the band, they assembled with their instru-
ments and rendered a number of delightful airs,
causing large crowd of the inmates to gather
around to enjoy the music and who applauded the
band boys vigorously after each selection was fin
shed. The band closing their entertainment with
the Star Spangled Banner, and the Saltwater team
not being the scene, our friend, H. w. gave us an
exhibition of what do with his teeth, pro-
viding they good and sound like his are and he
has the knack of knowing how to use them in tests
of strength He performed several feats of strength
and skill with his teeth, such as lifting man from
the ground, and holding leather strap between his
teeth while another man would attempt to pull him
from his position by grasping the strap in his hand
and pulling with all his might Several attempt
ed to pull him in this but none of them

Sense of Humor

He who is lacking in a sense of humor and con-
sequently unable to make allowance for human
foibles and weakness, ground that exactness and
rgdity should all COST be extorted from which is
naturally neither exact rigid. is apt himself to
move but stiffly through life. He may devote his
entire time and effect to the attempted reduction of
the human to the mechanical, and yet be continually
confronted with these same shortcomings bobbing
out in the unexpected and nconvenent way.
Lacking in a of humor, he is lacking in love,
without which there can be real lasting success.
Thackeray. in describing the admirable touches of
tender humor to be found in Dickens work, defines
humor mixture of love and wit. In other words
wit, which is intellectual and often tinged with
acerbity, becomes humor when softened by love-
And a of humor is just kindness, which seems
and enjoys the droll in human affairs with out
ridiculing it, as wit would do, and without con-
demnng it utterly as one who lacks this sense
would do. There is nothing like of humor
to help in taking the larger view of life because
it helps to keep things in their proper perspective
and let's get discouraged. 1t will often
restore the balance. where everything fails and it
affords the finest of healing balm to the wounds
made by ridcule. For ridicue presumably has it's
place among the weapons of controversy, and indeed
we must admit that some of the hypocrisles and
Inconsistencies to which we are all in some degree,
accessory, hardly be swept away by any other
methods than that Of ridcule. You cannot take
that seriously which has in fact, no relation to
common sense however much custom and usage
have invested it with halo. And yet many of the
things that have been attacked and destroyed by
ridicule most of us took seriously enough at one
time or another. What saves from being utterly
disheartened and discouraged when have ourselves
become objects of ridicule is of honor 1t
