Laughter, we are told by all author
ities on the human emotions, springs
from q sense of satisfaction and SUI
periority in the Laughter over the
laughee, if we may coin the word for
the occasion. The Paris Rose Rouge
publishes hitherto imprinted essay
on laughter by Stendahl, in which the
following definition occurs:
"What is laughter2 1t is a success
sion Of pulmonary spasms accompa-
MED by a peculiar facial expression
which is so familiar that need not
describe it and by pleasurabls SEN
sation around the chest.
This physical state arises from a
sudden inspiration to compare our
own worth with someone else's and
resulting in verdict favorable TO our
selves. Laughter thus arises from the
sudden recognition of our own su-
periority."

HAVE ONLY ALLOTTED SPAN
Death Of Trout, Although at Advanced
Age, Disproves Theory Which
Seems Absurd.

An ancient controversy has been re-
vived by the published story OF the
death in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, OF
a trout which for 20 years had sur
yived In a well.
The fish was caught in an adjoining
stream-the River Evan. tributary
of the AMMAN, near Moffat, and was
placed in well formed in burn adj
jacent to remote railway signal box.
a few miles north of Beattock, on the
Caledonlan main line The signalman
who at the time was in charge of the
cabin took a lively interest in the fish,
as did also various engine drivers and
other railway workers on that section
of the line whep intervals permitted
of their visiting the aquarium, with
it's solitary occupant. The trout grad
ually became quite tame and docile,
and was accustomed to swim boldly
to the edge OF the well to receive tit
bits from visitors in the form of worms
or insects suitable to Its appetite.
1t Is still argued by some authorities
that unless some accident befalls him,
a trout lives on indefinitely.
Opponents OF that theory find sup
port in the account of the death of the
Scotch trout for their opinion that all
fish, even the members of the princely
salmon or trout class, have their APP
pointed span of life.

conNriaht Acts.

The first act providing for the copy
right Of books and other publications
In the United States was passed 129
years ago. The term Of copyright was
then fixed at IA years, with the priv
ilege of renewal for IA years longer.
In 1911 the period was extended to
IS years and providing for a renewal
for Ia years. For nearly hundred
years after the passing of the first
copyright law the protection was ex-
tended only to citizens of the United
States. In England similar injus-
tice was practiced upon Americans, al
though the British government did
permit foreigners to take out a copy
right, provided their work was FIRST
published in England and the author
was at the time of publication any
where within the British dominions.
International copyright conventions
now exist between nearly all nations
The first copyright act in England was
passed In 100, giving protection fer
IA years and for the authors life II
then living In 1914 the English law
was amended by extending the period
to % years.

Keep Mind Free From Bust.

A rusty tool of any sort is poor
recommendation for the owner. 1t is
doubly condemning when that tool is
the master key Of life. The weather
and the carelessness of others may
rust tools of steel Only the indeleRce
of the man himself can allow the mind
to get rusty. It's a mark Of senility
or premature mental weakness when
the mind that ought to be vigorous
shows signs of rust No man of good
sense has a right to think he has
reached his limit of usefulness. Each
step upward should become the incen-
tive to a higher step. AS higher ground
extends the vision so mental attain
ment should extend the scope of a
mans influence.-Pennsylvnnia Grit.

Suffer for Sins Of others.

"There is no sort of wrong deed of
which man can bear the punishment
alone; you can't isolate yourself. and
say that the evil which is in you shall
not spread" says George Eliot in
Adam Bede. 1t is only too true that
we cannot bear punishment alone.
And usually our mistakes entail worse
suffering on those who love us than
they do on ourselves. Just as on the
other hand our successes and rewards
bring more joy to our dear ones than
to ourselves. mo man liveth to him
self aIone.'

WHY HIS SECOND BEST BED"7
Hriter Feels Called On to Criticize
Shakespeare for Provision Made
In His viii.

We are indebted to an English pub
LEGATION for copy of the last will and
testament of the late William Shake
speare. In the course Of this docu-
ment, we observe the following SEN
tence:
Il gyve onto my wief my second best
bed with the furniture"
We have no desire to find fault with
the successful poet and dramatist Of
Stratford for this apparent discrimina-
ton against the Widow Shakespeare.
What disposition he made of his first
best bed is a matter that is not re-
vealed by the copy of the will of the
versatile author whose last testament
Is reported In the columns of our alert
London contemporary. However, we
don't think Mr.. s. showed just the
right spirit in gyveing onto his wief his
second best bed. o. why did he not
gyve onto her his first bed, or his tee
potte or his punche bole with the gilt
butterfyes, or his favorytte wigge, or
his safetie razure, or fountain penne, or
bicycle-anything in fact, but his sec
ond best bed7
No doubt Mr.. Shakespeare had gone
to bed with his boots on many Satur-
day night in that very second best bed,
and yet, hallowed as 1t was by such
memories, one cannot but feel that the
widow was treated unfairly. Perhaps
Wills folks influenced him. AS CO.
writer we have only the highest regard
and esteem for him. But we don't
think he acted right about friend wief.

Then see how free course is given to our
synpathes. l believe that there is
gion in the world towards which the SYM
pathies of the United States have gone out
SO abundantly as to the poor people of Ar

to relieve their distress and at every turn
we have known that every dollar spent
upon them might be rendered useless by the
cruel power which had authority them.
Then under rretense of not being able to
control its own affairs in those parts of the
empire, the Turkish government might say
that it was unable to restrain the horrible
nassacres which have made that country a
graveyard.
Very SWELL Armenia is one of the regions
that is to be put under trust of the league
Os nations. Armenia is to be redeemed. The
Turk is to be forbidden to exercise his au-
thority there and Christian people not
only to be allowed TO aid Armenia, but they
are to be allowed to control Armenia.

through night after night of terror, knowing

WHAT COUNTY ASSESSOR
DAVIS 1918 FIGURES SHOW
Valuation Of Property In the Coun-
ty Now Over Twenty Mil
lion Dollars.

In another column we print an
abstract OF the assessments of Prov
ers county as compiled last year
by Assessor A. j. Davy. They show
that Prowers countys assessab1e
wealth is now over the $2O,000,OOO
mark and still growing. The remark
able growth since Mr.. Davy has been
in the office is ample evidence of
his efficiency and thoroughness. 1t
sometimes seems to the casual OBJ
server that there might be more
jeWelry and jackasses in the county
than he finds, but in all other re-
spects there is nothing that can es-
cape his eagle eye
Irrigated land easily holds first
position as county asset making
nearly one-third of the total; while
the Santa Fe railroad is equally
sure of second place. Grazing land
valuations are rapidly going up and
it now has third place; the cattle
industry is fourth in the list and
Improvements on town lots fifth.
Three per cent OF the county's
wealth is invested in autos, more
than twice as much as is in farm
machinery. Bicycles and motorcy-
cles, both formerly prominent feat
ures have almost disappeared from
the schedules as they have IRON the

gram Exceeding Normal Quota
for Coming Season.

About $3OO,OOO,0OO will be put into
road building this year, according
to estimates by experts of the de
partment of agriculture, submitted
to the division of public works and
construction development of the de
partment of labor. 1t is estimated
that about half this amount will go
to labor.
The $500 100000 of construction es-
timated will not be sufficient to
make up deferred war construction,
it is believed, for normally the
amount spent on roads in the Unit
ed States is not far below $3OO,0 ,0OO.-
900, and during war times road
building came almost to a stop IN
many localities.
Estimates prepared for the follow

officials of the department of Agri-
culture: Maine, $1,5OO,0OO; Rhode

BASE BALL PROSPECTS ARE
GOOD FOR THE VALLEY
With Return Of Many Soldiers Much
Material Will Be Available
for q League.

Base ball talk is beginning to be
heard in the, valley, despite the
fact that there is foot of snow on
the ground and near zero weather
in the air. The bugs are chirping
lively in the various towns, and it
needs only week or so of real
warm weather to get them going
like tree tOads in August.
1t is certain that prospects for
the great national game never look
ed brighter in the Arkansas Valley
than at present Thousands of our
best young men have been in mill
tary service for from SIX to Is
months, and nearly all oft hem have
become adopts in the national
game, which is part of the reg
ular training activity in every camp.
By the opening of spring most OF
these young men will be home in
first class physical condition and
eager to take part in summer
sports.
1t should be possible this year to
form a strong valley base ball
league made up exclusively of home
talent players. Prowers county
alone has 700 men in. service, and
these men range in age from Is to
81. 1t is safe to say that onehaIf
of them will return with a good
knowledge OF the game In addi-
tiOn to theSet here is much veteran
talent available
Each valley county could form
league of it's own, but 1t would be
far mOrei interesting to see valley
league organized and regular play
ing schedule adopted. Rocky Ford,
LaJunta, Las Animas, Fort Lyon,
Wiley, Lamar, Granada and Holly
could form compact eight club
league whose travelling expenses
would not be great. Such league,
made up of home players working
on cooperative basis could play
Sunday and holiday games at a
profit and furnish first-class enter
tainment to the valley fans.
Steps to organize such league
should be aiken at once. Lamar
