For a few minutes Jimmy Rabbit
did not speak. But he nodded his
head wisely.
Let me sect he said at last,
What's the thing you do best?"
Jolly Robin replied at once that he
thought he could fly better than he
could do anything else. And he felt
so happy. because he was sure Jimmy
Rabbit was going to help him, that ne
began to laugh gaily, And he couldn't
help singing a snatch of a new song
he had heard that morning. And then
he laughed again.
You're mistaken" Jimmy Rabbit
said to him "You fly well enough,
dare say. But there are others who
can beat you at flying No" he
declared, what you can do better
than anybody I know is to laugh. And
if / were you l should make laughing
my regular business.
That idea struck Jolly Robin as be-
ing so funny that he laughed harder
than ever And Jimmy Rabbit nodded
his head again, as if to say, I'm right

AT last jolly Robin stopped laugh

Stop Park Betting.

Since last Sundays football game at Douglas
park number Of persons who witnessed the
exhibition have complained to The Argus that
betting was openly carried on in tho stands
before the contest started and sfSerward; that
men were seen to parade in the stands flashing
money that they wished to wager on their ia
vorite team. No one questions the right Of an
other to place money wager on his favorite,
providing that there. Is 10 organized fixing as
happened in big league baseball in the past few
years There is a difference between bet and
organized gambling on the outcome OF q sport
ing event, and it is to be expected that there
will be wagers placed about the city on the
outcome of the games in which the Independ-
ents take part.
But it Us a bad precedent to permit open bet
ting In the stands or on the field during the
game as was done last Sunday. 1t gives rise
to all sorts Of ugly imputations and in the
minds of persons not rightly informed involves
the. home team and the management. The
Argus suggests that Manager Flanagan issue
orders prohibiting betting during the game at
the park. He should do 80 in the interest Of
the sport. II Independent fans insist on betting
let them put up their money in a less public
place than in the park in view Of thousands of
spectators many of whom may have doubts in
their minds as to the squareness of the play as
they recall scandals that have been revealed in
connection with other sporting events.
The Independents football team has won a
place in the hearts Of the lovers Of clean sport
| in this community and the management can't
afford to allow anything to occur that might
tend to injure its high standing.

leaders are Of one mind as to the position the
United States should take with reference to a
peace league against future war
Nv. Harding, IL statements he has made
since the election. apparently is of the belief
that the vote Of Nov should be accepted as
rejection OF the proposed League Of Nations
MI. Root takes issue on this point Mr.. Root
rather leans toward tho position Of President
Wilson. He holds that abandonment Of the
treaty OF Versailles would bring chaos and
sdisester. He says that 1t would be very un-
wise to declare the league dead. Mr.. Root is
~ man whose counsel on question of such i'm
yort Is worthy of serious consideration. He
has always been conservative on International
questions. He knows the public mind and
Knows what is best for his nation and its pee

who voted the Republican ticket this month

States to reject the League OF Nations II the

When to Worry.

MAN is creature of sorrow. He is born
in tears and never smiles before his 10th day"
So wrote the philosopher Pliny, and pess-
mists in every age before and since have found
their ways of declaring life vale of tears and
a valley of sadness
Much that is idle and silly has been written
OF laughter. Those who forever preach of
laughing away sorrow and giggling in the face
OF catastrophe will find their most proficient
students in kindergartens, where children
laugh with little cause and in mad houses where
the inmates need no cause for laughter.
But, between the two theories Of life-mor
bid pessimism and inane optimism-lies a mid
die path that the most Of folks will find it best
to follow.
Worry is the implacable foe of laughter.
No one denies the value Of laughter, but many
deny its possibility at some times Worry too
often conquers laughter.
Divide your worries into two parts. There
| are those misfortunes which thought and a full
/! appreciation brought by worry will remedy and
| there are others that no amount Of remorse
! or regret will alter.
| The man who worries because his pay en-
velope holds not enough for the comfort Of his
family, may, il he keeps his worry within due
bounds, increase his salary and the happiness
| OF his brood. Laughter then will follow and
| be good.
But to grieve forever more for the dead
dead mortals or dead hopes-is simply to shut
the door fast on heaven-sent laughter and to
make Of life a\true vale Of tears and valley
! Of distress.
Believe neither the one NOR the other; the
wall Of the pessimist or the forced and tiresome
Hchuckle and grin of the constitutional optmist
Both are takers and hypocrits- one denying
Joy and the other sorrow.

What's III, A Name?
SUSAN.
(copyzight 1919. By tn Wheeler Syndicate In

SUSAN.
Susan first comes to light as
feminine name in the guise of
Schuschannah, meaning lily. 1t
belonged to one of the holy women
Of the sepulcher and was likewise
in the calendar for two virgin mar
tyrs by the name of Susanna, who
suffered in the times of persecution,
though they were never >eommem-
GRATED in the western church.
Queen Susanna. "the Lily of Tiff
lis" also died a martyr in the
hands of the Mohametans. so Susan
and its derivatives may we'll be
said to be a holy name.
Susanna was the beautiful and
virtuous wife OF Joachim in the
apocryphal :History Of Susanna"
Her chastity questioned by certain
Jewish elders, she was condemned
by law, but her innocence was
proved by Daniel and her accusers
put to death.s
The name and its derivatives is
popular throughout England, France

NEW THOUGHT; NEW VIEW

would be heresy, a new idea would
be sacrilege, a new petition would
bankrupt God.
Journalism ties God to an ancient
habit. It is stiff, static, stereOtyped,
stale. There are people who haven't
had new vision of God in so years
They are praying the same old
prayers, with the same old en-
phasis, and the same old punctua-
ton points. and the Identical
phrases, metaphors, and infections
of a generation ago. They are
where they were. They are what
they were-certainly not more.
Their religious stature has not
grown an inch since birth.
Such people are not wicked.
They are good, good for not very
much, goody-good. They have no
spiritual struggles. There is not
enough vitality in their religion to
create disturbance. It is some
thing they have, not something
that has them.
