THE LAUGH REMEDY.

A hearty laugh, it seems to
me, is something OF rem
edy for almost any sort OF
ache that one may have and
wish to shake.
When you are feeling sick
and bum or blue or worried,
sore or glum, a laugh will
often do more good than
fifty other doses could.
When troubles come that weary
us there's something quite
mysterious about the magic
way they quit when we have
laughed a little bit.
And thus l argue in behalf
of any good and hearty laugh,
because it puts the ills to
rout for those who laugh and
try it out.

New Flag Inspector

Several years ago the late MaJ.
MINTER p. KEY, Confederate
veteran, constituted himself an in
spector Of flags flying on public
and private buildings in this city.
He conducted a relentless warfare
on flags that were frayed or badly
soiled and urged their replacement
with new ones. Since his death the
flag inspection has Jagged. Now, I
am informed, a patriotic woman in
West Washington has taken up the
work and will enter upon a diligent
crusade against emblems that are
not spick and span.
