l Our present tears here, not our pres
 ent laughter, Are but the tokens of our joys here
 after.
 Tears are signs of fulfillment Ex- | captions there are, of course, but in most cases they mean joyful things, or at least great happiness to follow ] after small sorrow, like a day of i sunshine succeeds the early morning
 shower.
 If you cry and there seems to be no
 reason for your tears, or if the pro vocation is so small that in life it
 would never moisten your eyes, you are standing on the eve of a sweet adventure and Nour soul, still un-
 used to the lights and shadows of 1 deep experiences, is finding voiceless
 expression through your weeping
 lids Tears brought to your sleep l ing eyes because of quarrel or be-
 cause of pain, are harbingers of l kisses
 So bright the tear in Beauty's eye,
 Love half regrets to kiss it dry. and if such tears are shed in the
 presence of man, some one you ad-
 mire will make you happy with a
 welcome gift Likewise, to cry on
 mans shoulder. or in his arms, no
 matter how unhappy you seem to be- means that you will soon shed tears | of love-joy and the only possible ill | omen in this connection is to see the
 man laugh; then your tears tell you that your love will be spurned, that
 your yearnings will be derided. To see a child cry Is sign of
 happy days;
 The tear down childhood's cheek that 1 flows,
 Is like the dew-drop on the rose; When next the summer breeze blows by
 And waves the bush, the flower is dry.
 To weep at a grave or coffin is a sign of an inheritance from dis tant source, but to see others cry at d bier or in a cemetery, is bad sign -an omen of illness, even of death, in your immediate circle. Tears shed in anger or rage mean a fool ish disappointment broken pledge or a minor disagreement. If you see yourself cry in the presence Of your family, no matter what the Surrouhu- i ing conditions or circumstances, you will in all Likelihood leave your home for a short time, probably to | pay a visit.
 When married women dream that | they cry, unless some particularly l sad vision should force tears from their eyes, they will experience do-
 mestic unhappiness and disagree
 ments. and to them applies the poets

 To run and cry is a sign of imag- ined danger. To dry some ones tears with cloth means slight illness. To see many people cry, or few with many around, there will be guests and much merriment.

and during the opening OF the Civil
war, the position Of the Herald could
not be mistaken. It's clear, ringing
editorials gave signs Of the true meta
underneath, as its editor worked night
and day, by pen, tongue and example
to uphold the nation in those dar4.
days.
1t was the Herald that chronicled
the names of Grant county men, o.
and young, as they came pouring
forth to do battle for the Union. II
was the Herald that, through tn
forethOught and kindness Of its ruling
spirit, reached them far down in Dixie
bringing tiding Of friends and home.
ana it was the Herald that bore, onI
TOO often the tale of woe to the sui
fering and stricken parents, wives,
sisters and brothers Of the news c

martyrdom on the altar Of his coun-
try.
To those that came back, the old
familiar Herald was more necessi-
ty than ever. What wonder then that
it's subscription list assumed such
great proportions, or that its inter
ests was not bounded by mere county
lines, but reached out even in the
whole state.

March, 1867, John Cover became as
sociated with his father as assistant
editor of the Herald, and in June Of
the same year the paper was increas-

increased facilities for expeditions
printing and handling Of the steadily
increasing issue No further changes
were made until December, 1868,
when notice was given editorially that
henceforth the business portion of the

SATURDAY GAMES,
 GENERAL REVIEW
East Elated at Syracuse Kln-.
 Ellis Awarded Title

New York, Nov. 26.--Nictory for Yale over Harvard, the first time since the resumption of gridiron play be- tween the two after the war. entailing as it did the first blue touchdown since Ted Coy who went over in 1907, was q great relief to Yale men: but it vas mingled joy and disappoint- mcnt for Tad Jones.
 Jones, Yale's head coach, published his memoirs of the game today re- vealing that he believed the 1923 blue eleven to be one of the greatest ma chimes in the universitys history, and that he lost full title to his dis tination by the wet and muddy grid iron which forced it to abandon its long-arranged plans and play liar wards game.
 Agreeing with experts who contend cd that the weather conditions leveled Yale's higher geared and smarter team to the pace of the Harvard eleven. Jones said All in all the ex- pericnce of Saturday may be reduced to proposition where the disad- vantag ges were nearly even and where the team, alert, eager and determined, made q great deal out Of d bad situa- tion."
 While the merits of Galc's l3 to [ victory were being debated the Army and Navy teams returned to their re- SpCctiNc homes from their SCorcless tie al the Polo Grounds; the Cadets, who were "dopcd" to win, were received with ancient rites by their colleagues, but the Middies, who were counted out by the experts before the whistle, were so dcjccted that they slipped into Annapolis by the back door and the receiving committee had nothing to do.
 Yale's unbroken string of eight vic tories, including North Carolina, Georgia. Bucknell, Brown, Army, Maryland, Princeton and Harvard, gave it the Big Three" title; whether 1t will bc the eastern chsmpion--in expert opinion--depend on the out come of the struggle at Philadelphia. Thanksgiving day, between Cornell and Penn.
 Granting Gil Dobie q great red team some experts assert Cornell did not met two strong teams in succession and win or lose against the Quakcrs, Yale is entitled 10 the palm.
 The east was clated over Syracuse's : to Q victory over Nebraska. some ex- ports considering this as atonement for Notre Dsmes defeat of Army and Princeton, as Nebraska conquered the Indiana eleven. Notrc Dame. however, rubbed it fin. by swamping Carnegie Tech, 2G 10 0.
