Distress in Anticipated Troubles
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

with their premature hullabaIloo. BY
the time the heralded happening occurs
every one is so worn out that there is
no strength left to expend in further
demonstrations of misery.
They may appear to take their
troubles calmly to those outside the
range of personal acquaintance. But
those inside this range know 1t Is the
calm after a storm. not the beauty OF
poise that comes from trust in that
Power which makes all things work to-
gether for good. The two types OF calm
are scarcely akin.
Those who in real life cry before they
are hurt are the people who insist on
looking OF the dark side. They take a
lugubrious Joy in their own lamenta-
tions. They attract attention to them
selves through pity, Tut they get no
pticed. 1t is when this peculiarly is
discovered that the friends become
amused at the heralded misertes and
the amusement is not infrequently
tinged with contempt.
There is also an uncalculated element
that often enters into what we assume
to be the natural course OF events.
SOMETHING unexpected happens and the
whole face of things is altered. The
dire disaster is averted as If by a
miracle A grateful sense of escape
cannot fail to envelope us. This sense
of escape should be so tempered with
regrets that we borrowed trouble" that
never again would, we lament before
hand. Always to be looking for trouble
is an unattractiVe habit. The person
who is happily expectant of life and
the future, who never cries before he
is hurt, he it is who has the magic
charm Of attractiveness.

looked at the Children's Corner in the
paper to reed Sunny Sonny's Daily
Pome, being called Sunrise. This be-
ing it:
SUNRISE.
I love to getaup brite and erly
And give my eyes feast
BY watching the sun arising.
In the direction called the East.
Me saying, @, lets us get up exter
erly tomorrow morning and watch it..
All we half to do is look out Of the win
dow at 1t and then 60 back to bed, and
then we can say we saw the sunrise.
ALI rite, that's a go, Artie sed. Ill
set my alarm clock for half pass s ana
IL It ony wakes you up you wake me
UP and II 1t ony wakes me up III wake
you UP.
All rite, that's 60, sed.
And after a while we went to bed
on account of having to, and Artie set
his alarm clock for half pass this morn
ing, and we started to tawk about diff
ferent Subjecks in the dark such as how
serprised people would be If the sun
changed its mind and rose In the west
some morning, and how much they'd
be even more serprised If 1t rose rite in
the very middle of the sky, and the
1eFEt thing knew was asleep and the
next thing knew q feaTse bell was
going OF, being Arties alarm clock say
ing half pass 5, me thinking, ., ] won-
der II 1t woke him up too.
And pritty soon opsned one eye and
Il was just lite enough for me TO see
Artie looking at me with one OF his
eyes, me saying, Hay, what about the
sunrise?
What about it yourself? Artie sed,
and I sed. Id just as leaf see 1t set.
How about If we see it set tonite In
sted? sed, and he sed, That's go.
And we went back to sleep and had
to be called about 5 times to get up
Tor skooI.
Proving the safest way to see the
sunr1se Is to stay up and wait for 1t.

Laughing.

Why do we laugh? There has been
dozens Of reasons offered by as many
of the worlds wisest philosophers. And
still the language of the laugh has re-
manned untranslated.
Laughing is a great deal like dream
ing In the first place, it comes on
spontaneously, except when laugh is a
hollow social formality. Such laughs
mean nothing more than that the
laugher is pretending to enjoy himself.
Sometimes the hollow laugh is merely
a signal that the lailgher is present but
is paying no attention to what is going
on.
Again, like dreams, true laughs come
from the unconscious. They are hard
to suppress. You may be able to keep
from making any sound, but the tell
tale smile is really never completely
suppressed. The smile itself is q sign
thai the body Is getting ready to shake
In laughter. All laughs begin and end
in smile.
Often q great deal Of blushing and
sometimes weeping accompany laugh

Two young men, each apparently

Positive Proof
of Ford ECONOMY
City of Detroit purchases 1877 Ford
Hundreds now in prove low cost Of operation

THESE 1877 new Ford cars represent one
of the largest deliveries ever made to a
municipality at one time.
q radio-equipped Ford scout cars were
traded in on this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in
heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
Their individual records ranged from
78,434 miles to l43, 723 miles with grand
total of 2,283, O97 miles. The operating
cost of the Fl cars was 2.284 cents a mile
- less than 1/3 cents. This cost included
all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other
item except depreciation and insurance.
Of 577 Ford cars in Detroit City service,
the 800 in the Police Department Travelled
total of 6,591 1897 miles during the past
fiscal year, at an average cost of 80 cents
mile.
Many claims have been made on operat-
ing costs, but here In the carefully kept
motor car records of the City of Detroit is
positive proof of Ford economy.
In the paragraphs above, it is seen that

Postmaster General Issues An
nual Advice to Gift, Card
SenderS

With the first of December less
than a week off, the advice 'Do your
Christmas shopping early" "Mail
your Christmas packages early" and
the reminder, mo mail will be deliv-
cred on Christmas Day" are timely,
coming as they do from postoffice
employees and Christmas gift stores.
Each year the postmaster general,
Walter F. Brown, sends out informa-
ton to each postoffice regarding the
rules and regulations of mailing
packages. Special precaution is ask
ed in wrapping and mailing packages.
Be sure that the cord and the paper
are strong enough is the principal
warning. Be careful in addressing
packages, letters and Christmas cards.
The address should be complete,
with house number and name Of
street, post office box or rural route
number, and typed or written plain
ly in ink. A return card should be
placed in the upper left corner of
every piece of mail. If tag is used,
the address and return card should
also be written on the wrapper for
use if the tag is lost and a copy of
the address should be enclosed in the
parcel.
Postage must be fully prepaid on
all mail. Affix the required amount
Of postage in the upper right corner.
More information can be gained at
the windows of the post office.
During the holiday the volume Of
mail increases approximately 200 per
cent. 1t is a physical impossibilitv
to handle this great, mass of mail
matter efficiently and promptly with
in few days, so to assure delivery
or Christmas cards, letters and pack
ages by Christmas Day, the public
is urged to SHOP AND MAIL
EARLY.

FISH CAUGHT WHILE
DIGGING DEEP WELL

Belief that he had tapped a sub
terranean lake or river was express
ed by Obed Olson, Canton, South
Dakota, when he brought up live
fish in his slush bucket from a depth
of 81 feet while digging well on the
G. j. Moen farm near Inwood, Iowa.
The fish was about six inches long
and looked something like bullhead
The fact that it had no eyes led Mr..
Olson to believe that it came from
an underground lake. The fish was
on exhibition in the First National
bank at Canton for several days
Some of the more skeptical citizens
asked Mr.. Olson if he had heard any
steam boat whistling or noticed other
signs of traffic on his buried lake.
Others thought that after the last
South Dakota lake has dried up
Waltonians of the state can do their
fishing in this well.-Sioux Falls
