CHEERFULNESS AS AN ASSET
Why Mrth Has Been Called Goods
Medicine" by Those Capable of
Approaching 1t.

Mirth has been called Gods medi-
cine. There are few persons who can
not testify to the saving value of
smile. There is a story told of a man
who received a wire while on a bust
ness trip that his business had been
wiped out by fire. The depression
which followed this news threatened
for time his mental balance, and he
even gave serious thought to taking
his own life.
While in this dangerous mood he
received letter from his daughter,
girl of nine, which read: "Dear Dad
dy-l went down to see your store that
was burned and it looked awfully
pretty all covered with ice. Love and
kisses from Helen"
The man laughed and the day was
saved. That CLINT of humor was like
ray of sunshine in a dark cell The
spirit of the man was released from
the prison of his gloom.
Lincoln on the day that he read to
his cabinet the emancipation proclama-,
ton opened that important meeting
by reading from Artemus Ward. When
rebuked by one of his serious-minded
cabinet officers for having called them
into an important session to hear such
nonsense, Lincoln replied: "Why don't
you laugh, gentlemen? If l couldn't
laugh I would die"
Emerson has said, Nothing will
supply the want of sunshine for
peaches, and to make knowledgy valu-
able there must be cheerfulness."-

HEROIC WORK IN PUEBLO FLOOD

Among the many instances of heroic
service in rescue work during the
Pueblo flood disasters, that of two
boy scouts stands out conspicuously
On hearing that a man and his young
son were trapped in a burning build
ing, surrounded by the ever rising
tides of onrushing water, they hastily
manned a lifeboat and pulled through
the dangerous current to the burning
building. The owner of the place and
his son were rescued with great risk,
not only because of the floods but be-
cause the burning building was being
shaken by terrific explosions all the
time from the lime stored therein.
Having discovered that three en-
ployees were also in the burning plant,
the scouts returned a second time,
battling desperately with the waters,
and got the other victims also to
safety. Hardly had they gotten into
the boat when another more violent
explosion occurred and the building
crumbled and fell into the water.

How You Can Be transparent.

A liquid that renders flesh invisible
or transparent has been invented.
If hand or arm is immersed in this
liquid its flesh will disappear almost
entirely from view; the bones, how
ever, viii be visible, as under X-rays.
The mixture makes the flesh of your
hand transparent because it has the
same index of light refraction as the
flesh. The light rays passing through
the liquid are not bent, or refracted,
when they pass through the flesh,
though they are bent by the bones,
which have different index of refrac-
ton.
Different parts of the body have diff
ferent indices or refraction; any part
can be made to disappear by submerg-
ing it in the proper liquid. But not
all parts at once, so the magic cloak
of invisibility is still to be discovered

DERIVED FROM EARLY CUSTOM
How Missouri Got Its Now Generally
Used Nickname of the "Show-
Me" State.

An early-day custom in Missouri
regarding marriages is said to be re-
sponsible for the famous expression,
"Pm from Missouri; you've got to
show me-"
A good many years ago the marriage
laws in Missouri were so loose that any
one could get married without answer
ing many questions. In 1881 a law
was passed making it misdemeanor
for a minister or justice to marry
persons not having a state license. 1t
also set the age of marriageable
women at eighteen. If the applicant
for a license did not know the age of
his bride-elect he had to show her
to the license clerk and let him
judge her age. When the applicant
went after the girl she naturally
asked why she had to go along to
get the license. When told that the
law required her exhibition, she re-
marked: "Oh, you've got to show
me?" This occurred many times dur
ing the first year or so of the laws
enforcement and became a byword.
Thus Missouri became known as the
"Show-Me" state.

Why Cattle Are mavericks"

Sam Maverick migrated from Mas
sachusetts to Texas in the early DAYS

ignorance or from implicit faith in the
honesty of the neighbors, it never oc-

be wise to put his brand upon his
stock.
At roundup time whenever cow
boy found an unbranded animal, he
would cry: "There's a Maverick"
And, generally being of the unre-
generate type, he would use his own
brand on his find. The name MAYER
lex soon began to be generally applied
and to acquire distinct metaphorical
meaning; and when men had opinions
which were vague and undecided, they
were declared by Westerners of the
old days to hold Maverick views"

SCOUTING AND LOYALTY

A boy is naturally a loyal young

as usual with fundamental boy in

dency, turns it to constructive ends.
In scouting boy loyalty is both taken
account of and developed. Loyalty to
the patrol, the troop, the scoutmaster,

to home and church and school, to God
and country as pledged by the scout
oath.

Everywhere we are seeing today

Scouting offers one of the best anti

Because there was at one time a
general belief that trees and human
ity were allied In close bonds of union.
and that certain trees had healing
qualities 1t was customary for per-
son afflicted with disease to take a
wooden string of three colors, and with
his right hand tie his left loosely to
the limb of a tree, then slip it out
and hasten homeward without casting
a glance back, the belief being that
the disease was transferred to the tree
by touching it. Thus from a tree it
has become common practice to touch
any article of wood to ward off mis-

sippi farmer failed to take this matter
into consideration when he bought g
silO of 60 tons capacity, for he found
that he had corn and sorghum for
only 20 tons of silage; and since, more

he had made a mistake, and tried to-
