VACATIONS FOR MAN'S FAITHFUL FRIEND. THE HORSES EMPLOYED IN the postal delivery service, in Washington, have been granted a thirty days' vacation at pasture and as a result the postoffice department is confronted by a petition from the rural carriers all over the country asking that a similar privilege be granted to their faithful beasts of burden. Why are horses not entitled to vacations as much as are their drivers? If they are to be given a vacation without loss of pay, who should bear the expense, the rural carriers or the government? Faithful service deserves its reward and, although the postoffice horses have no power to vote, they have a worthy claim upon a generous and humane government. Why not vacations for the rural delivery horses likewise a system of old age pensions? And why not a vacation for all horses? It would add to the life of man's most faithful friend. Turn him out in the pasture for a few weeks a year. He works for you though summer's sun and winter's snows. He gets no recompense. He is often your sole means of livelihood and do you treat him as such? By all means give your horse a vacation. THE COUNTRY IS COMING BACK TO ITS OWN. A FEW INCONTESTIBLE FACTS have been presented for the consideration of pessimists, a few of whom we understand still exist. The report of the American Railway association shows that 100,000 freight cars that were idle have been put In service since April 29. The interstate commerce commission, which has been watching things closely, says the abundant crops and general pickup of business will cause a shortage of cars, directly. The fact that the roads need rolling stock has been recognized and accounts for activity in steel and other lines. John G. Shedd, head of Marshall Field & Co's great Chicago house, says there Is a general sold out condition of stocks of merchandise all over the country and a great trade boom is coming. The National Prosperity association announces that the dinner pail is full in St. Louis and vicinity and owing to the betterment of conditions the United States Rubber company has announced its return to full scale of the wages of its employes, more than 10,000 in number. Then there is the news of the order for thousands of cars given by the Alton, which was given in these columns last week. This is good news enough to dispel the last vestige of doubt, the anvil chorus to the contrary. Even the politicians and the fellows who hang on them cannot prevent this country from coming into Its own again.

He was educated in the public schools and become a school-, master. He was graduated from Vanderbilt university as a doctor of medicine, but never practiced as a physician. Instead he took up the study of law and began the practice of that profession In Nashville. . He became interested in politics and in' 1892 was a presidential elector on the Cleveland ticket. In 1897 lie was elected to congress on the democratic ticket in the sixth district of Tennessee. From the first he attracted attention on account of his proneness to speak on questions before the house and his invariable radicalism on all public questions." He was. regularly re-elected to congress until the present year, when he was defeated in the primaries by Joseph W. Byrnes, a Nashville lawyer.

Pity For the Town Cow. The town cow, that good old auxiliary to the family support, is of all animals the one most deserving of sympathy. Annually, at this time of the year in this country, she is left without a morsel of green feed, and the industry of her chase after noxious weeds even is returned with a brutal kick or a club.

Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. IOCS, by Edwin A. Nye. IT PAYS TO SMILE. I could learn to love you When you smile, smile, smile. Popular Ballad. This is the smile age. It is the new dispensation the dispensation of optimism. Take a look at the portraits of our statesmen of the past. They are nearly all of one type stern of feature, square cut as to mouth, dignified'as to pose.r You will scarcely find the glimmer of a smile on their faces. It Is different nowadays. Smile pictures are popular. Note the pictures of Theodore Roosevelt His well known visage is all broken up and mellowed with smiles. The picture shows either the good natured grin or the teeth, revealing spread of face. The bulldog countenance of the president is broken into ripples like a pond into which a stone has been cast. And the face of William J. Bryan In picture! He is a smiler of the most expansive width a width as broad as his countenance Is wide.; It is a contagious 'smile and is characteristic of the man. It is significant that Mr, Taft is called "Smilisg Bill" and his running mate "Sunny Jim." We are a nation of smilers. The frowners are of the unique minority. The surly boor is in hard lines in these days. We are iearning that to look at the world thronch smili o x - J I not only sweetens life and brings sat-;J isf.ictinn. hut that it nn-. V , . L.J,. It pays to smile. It pays In health, in spirits, in absence of friction. It pays In lives made brighter. Therefore hold up your chin and smile. Don't be stingy in stretching your mouth. If you play miser that way you cheat only yourself. It is difficult to appraise a smile at its highest. It is an intangible thing. So is the light an intangible thing, but it lightens a world. So is heat, but it warms the world. So is lova but it redeems the world. A home without a smile is no home. Smiles are as necessary in a house as sunshine or air or warmth. They cost nothing. They are worth everything. Smile! Start the smile down In your diaphragm and let it creep up into the corners of that drooping mouth and wriggle up into the corners of those lusterless eyes. Smile! It pays. no purpose In life, we think of a dog with no tall to wag. Mr. Bryan visited Chicago yesterday and Mr. Hearst's bright young men immediately noted a look of discouragement on the great Commoner's countenance. Wonderful discerned, those! The man who starts to go nowhere always sets there. Man in Paris is said to be keeping a lion on the top floor of an apartment house. Wonder if it is a pea green lion with purple polka dots? It makes a woman awfnlly angry when the telephone rings when she is busy welching some other woman going; down the street in some new Kind rK. Letting; Illm Down Easy. In the write-up of the marriage of Mary Harris and Joe Johnson we intended to say that the bride and groom had been chums from childhood. Our lady compositor made it read "chumps from childhood." Even at that we were half right, as any one who would marry Joe could easily be mistakei for a chump. Riverton (Wyo.) Republican. A NEW DEFINITION OF LOVE A STATE AVHICH BEGINS WITH SOUL YEARNINGS AND EYALTED EMOTIONS AND ENDS WITH WARM SIPPERS AND REGULAR MEALS. IN POLITICS Chicago, Aug. 21. W. J.

SUNDAY SCORES PREACHERS. Billy Sunday at Winona Lake said: "I preach to this bunch just as I do to a lot of bums, and I don't see any difference in you. You ministers criticise me, but as long as God puts his mark of approval on my work it is up to you to keep your mouths shut. If God wants you to be a cog wheel you had better stop trying to be a whistle. Some people are all front door. Open it and you are in the back yard."

Dr. Hatch is prescribing and the medicine looks good. It is understood that one or two Ham mond milk dealers shift around rather uneasily when they set down and read about the Gary muss. Autolst hurt last year, diver this year, wonder what the Lake County Fair people will get for a thriller next year. Tom Swanton didn't have any horses in the county fair this year, but he was down there with both feet and certainly enjoyed It. "For velvet work commend me to the Chicago Telephone company," said one Hammond man today. "Yes, I believe that they are really smoother than velvet. Messrs. J. A. Beattie, Fred Wheeler, B. F. Hayes, J. A. Donaha and E. R. Cole, the officers of the Lake County Fair association, may now lean back and receive congratulations of the Lake county people. The records of the Crown Point fair may be all broken, just the same, but Mat Boney's Deck Wright still holds the record for stallions on the track, 2:13 V. And with this record he held the track for eight vears. The attitude of the state board of health in the pure milk inquires Is that all dealers handle impure milk until they have proven otherwise. Councilman Nick Lnner, also secretary of the county central committee, is about to join the ranks of the benedicts. The welcome on the one side will balance the regrets of the other. Nothing life being a popular chap, you know. Some of these days when you are inclined to think that everything is very quiet in the building, take a walk into West Hammond and see the buildings going up there. It was in the year 1930. The day was warm and many people were out on the streets evidently celebrating. "What is this noise?" aske da traveler wfio happened to blow into Hammond on that particular in 1930. "This," said Walter Hammond, who was an elderly looking man, "Is the day we celebrate the completion of the South lloliman street pavement. It was begun way back in 1908." The latest lnrn in the county political situation is that the democrats are waiting for the republicans to naturalize the foreigners.

Pete Lyons was easily approached on the political situation this morning and immediately flourished his little mallet. "The Chicago papers must be hard up for news to come out with a story about what's his name to vote for Taft. I, for one, never did know him to support Bryan." Advantages of Wit. Man could direct his ways by plain reason and support his life "by tasteless food; but God has given us wij, and flavor, and brightness, and laughter, and perfumers, to enliven the days of man's pilgrimage, and to "charm his pained steps over the burning marie."
