Let s All Smile!

Why not try smiling for awhile?
Let's all smile. A smile is the open
sesame to a good roaring laugh.
A good laugh is a healing balm
for many aching hearts, mental
tribulation, and has been the
bridge over which many turbulent
and threatening incidents have
passed without causing damage to
numerous gatherings. Let's smile.
There is something intriguing and
infectious when the risibles are
functioning properly. It's like
dropping a pebble into a pool;
the ripples are extended to the
entire pool which is filled with
gentle wavelets the watcher sees
diminishing in the distance. The
monologist, standing smiling upon
the stage, Immediately captures
his audience The clerk in a store
approaches you with smile and
a pleasant, Can I serve your"
and your pocketbook automatic
ally opened and you stand and de-
liver. When in Pasadena, Cal,
the A. M. E. Sunday school, just
before separating for classes, it
was the duty of Colonel Williams
to tell pleasing incident to get
the school in readiness, following
song service. On one occasion he
assembled the platform, stood quiet
ly for a few minutes and merely
smiled. Expecting a story the
school got smile and all, even the
pastor, smiled and finally laughed
Let's try smiling for awhile!

The Helena Progressive League
met at the residence of Julian
Anderson on Broadway Monday
night.
Mrs. j. w. Crump has improvd
considerably since her sinking spell
of last week.
The unspeakably alluring young
vision visiting in our city, enjoyed
the consumation of her dearest
hopes last week end, consequently
was up in the air. Not that she
released any t. m m ntal
bombs, but Mr.. c. H. Harrell.
known as "Chuck" by his admir-
ers, who is an approved aviator,
took her joy riding toward the
heavens above. The trip was en-
joyable and both had a happy
landing.
Members of the legislature
should join either the C. I. o. or
the A. F. of L. so as to enable
them to put in a claim for double
pay when working on Sunday.
They put in a full day as it was
the final day for the introduction
of bills. The better the day the
better the work
Some Helena voters think Hell
ena's Main Street should be
changed to Last Chance Gulch,
that being the original name it
bore when gold was discovered
there. Well, Main may sound more
euphonious but Last Chance Gulch
certainly has historical backing.
The Rev. and Mrs. A. H. Hunt
were in Helena Sunday.
