Humor proves to be the Baring Clause of many a distressing situation. Tbe trouble with most of us is that we take our troubles altogether too seriously. We fail to see tbe funny side of things that for the moment concern us, even though we are quick to grasp It when we are mere on .looker. In tbe face of gathered clouds that seem to shut out tbe sunshine forever It Is not a bad Idea to remind ourselves that this old mother earth has been revolving on her axis for countless ages, that generations of men have come and gone for thousands of years and that the march of human progress has gone right aloug in the forward direction despite' what seemed to he occasional setbacks. "Laugh and tbe world loughs with you." There is humor in ucarly every tltuatlou if we can only see It from tbe right angle. ' Those of us who try to smile In adversity and think bow much moro laughable It would be if conditions ere reversed at least feel less uncomfortable over it and take pleasure In looking forward to the time when he shoe will be on the other foot-Omaha Bee.

Bedlam was the popnlar corruption of Bethlehem, the name of an insane asylum in London, first established In 1523. Owing to tbe prevalent ignorance of that age. it was a place of chains and manacles and stocks and finally became so filthy and loathsome that no man could enter It It was rebuilt several times, but even as late as 1812 the Institution was marked by its cruelty to inmates.

WAYNE ISSHOm UP Randolph County Excels in Township Schools. That residents of Randolph county encourage the building and equipment of $40,000 township schools, while in townships of the same size in this county general complaint is often made when a $10,000 township school building is proposed, was proven to County Superintendent C. O. Wil liams, when, with the county superintendents of Henry, Delaware and Randalph counties, he inspected the Parker school, near Winchester, on Wednesday. The attitude of the patrons of township schools in Randolph county is entirely different from that of patrons of Wayne, Henry and Delaware county schools. There are several township schools in Randolph county which have cost in the neighborhood of $40,000, including the equipment and grounds. But in Wayne county about the most expensive township school cost $10,000. The Parker Bchool, taking in consideration its accommodations and equipment, surpasses anything in the county with the exception of the Richmond high school. The visiting superintendents on their inspection of the school marveled at the completeness of it. It consists of several rooms, embodying manual training, domestic science,' lunch, rest and other departments, not ordinarily found in the township school. There are twelve members of the faculty, including supervisors in penmanship, music, and drawing. Drinking fountains are located on each floor. Dynamos furnish electricity used for lighting and power purposes. The equipment cost $5,000. The school is located on a five acre plot. The half acre immediately surrounding the building is laid off in a most attractive manner, walks, being run irregularly through the plot and shrubs being, planted so as to attain a remarkable decorative effect. The remainder of the plot, is divided into playgrounds for boys and girls, the older youths being separated from the younger. CHURCH BAZAAR IS WELL PATRONIZED More than ordinary success has attended the efforts of those in charge of the fair being held this week in St. Mary's uncompleted church on North A street. Large crowds have attended each evening and a large fund has been raised. The fund will be appropriated for the benefit of the new church building. The bazaar, which continues throughout the week has several attractions, including a country store, which is being most generously patronized. It is not an unusual sight to see a contented patron of the country store walking away with a bushel of apples of a pumpkin which would have won a prize at some county fair, if exhibited, a ham or many other equally serviceable articles. QUEBEC TEACHERS HOLD CONFERENCE (National News Association) MONTREAL, Oct. 19. The annual convention of Protestant teachers of the province of Quebec began in this city today and will continue until the end of the week.

Traum, of Richmond, has been chosen as one of tbe fourteen delegates from this state to the national convention of the W. C. T. U., which will be held in Milwaukee on the twenty-seventh of this month. The election was held at the annual gathering of the Indiana branch of tbe Union, which has just closed at Marion, Indiana. As so few delegates to the big convention were named, the selection of Mrs. Traum is quite an honor. Mrs. Traum was only recently elected president of the Richmond branch of the W. C. T. U.

He Was Willing to Stand For a Dollar, and He Did. It was 8:30, and the theater was crowded. "What have you left?" a prospective purchaser Inquired of the treasurer. "How many, sir?" the treasurer asked. "Two." "I have two left in the twelfth row," tbe treasurer said, taking tbe tickets from the rack. "They're the last two seats I have in tbe house." "How much?" tbe other asked cautiously. "Two dollars," was the reply. "Two dollars!" the patron repeated. "I can't stand for that." "Well, will you stand for a dollar?" the ticket dispenser inquired. "Gladly," tbe other cried, scenting a bargain and laying a dollar on tbe ledge. The treasurer replaced tbe two tickets in his rack and banded out two others after placing the bill in bis cash drawer. "There they are. sir," be said. "First door to your right." The man and his friend hurried inside and "stood" for a dollar.

Tbe sardine has been honored with a history, tbe writer being no less & personage than a member of the Soclete Academique of Nantes. The sardine in the early days was brought in in small boats. Then came a police ordinance in 1738 In tbe interest of the poorer classes against tbe monopolist. Owing to the police ordinance the sardine was a source of livelihood to the Bretons. Joseph Cillin. whose name is still revered In Nantes, first prepared tbe fish with oil. His venture was a great success, and he had many Imitators. In 1835 there was something like a crisis In the sardine Industry. Millet, who was the chief curer. had his factory Indicted as c nuisance, but tbe difficulty was over come by removing it from tbe center of the town to the shore. Although tbe fame of the sardine was firmly established. It was only in 1855 that it received its apotheosis. Then H. was shown In the Paris exbibitlon.Loodon Globe.

FOR NEW YORK Mrs. Pollitz of the Palais Royal, left last evening for New York where she will purchase goods for Mr. Goldfinger, owner of the Palais Royal. The FIt-g at Trenton. The flag "that Washington had with him when he crossed the Delaware to attack Trenton" was not the "stars and stripes." Washington crossed the Delaware in December, 1776, and the stars and stripes did not have an existence until the June of 1777, when It was voted into being by the congress. The flag that waved over General Washington on his way to and from Trenton consisted of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, as at present, with a blue canton emblazoned with tbe crosses of St. George and St. Andrew, as in tbe British flag. The first time the present stars and stripes were flung to the breeze was on the day of the battle of Oriskany at Fort Stanwix, Aug. 6, 1777. New York American. Bad Shots. A certain Yankee was touring through Devonshire, and, calling at an inn, be ordered some of the famous cider. Not finding it to be what he bad expected, he inquired how It was made. "Oh," said the publican, "we stood a barrel of water at one end of a room and threw applies at it." " This caused a general laugh, but the Yankee was equal to the occasion. "Waal." he said, "I guess you didn't bit is very often." London Ideas. Ways of tha Oyster.

Scrap Book A Touch That Didnt Fail. Alexander M. Dock err, former governor of Missouri, was at one time a member of the house of representatives and while filling the job made the acquaintance of a needy young man who formed the habit ef borrowing too much money. Dockery got tired of being "touched" every few days and decided to put a step to it. One day he was called from the house chamber by tb,e borrowing friend. "Say, Dockery," came the usual re quest, "can you lend me twenty?" Dockery looked grieved and cast down, felt in all of his pockets and nearly succeeded In squeezing out a tear from his left eye. "I haven't got a cent," be said In sepulchral tones. At that moment he spied a page boy coming down tbe corridor a boy who he knew was always bard up. The legislator saw a way of making an effective escape. "I don't even knew where I could borrow the money for you, Ben." he concluded. Turning quickly, he called the page. "Ray. my boy." he said kindly, "have you $20 with you?" Tbe boy put bis band into a pocket. Dockery took a few steps toward t Indoor, the would be borrower began to mourn. "Yes, sir," said the lad.

Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee, apro pos of tbe operation for transfusionof blood that he so nobly underwent on his wife's behalf, said at a dinner in Washington: "Latter day surgery Is a wonderful thing, and I'm sure you won't think me at all disrespectful if I tell you a strange story about it "I have a friend named Jasper, and, meeting him one day last summer, I said: " 'Jasper, you look, somehow, queer.' " 'I expect it's my nose,' said he. 'I fell down a coal hole and tore a big piece out of it' " 'Why, your nose seems all right,' said I. " 'Ob, yes,' said Jasper, 'it seems all right. The surgeons, you kno. grafted a piece of my arm on it But this shape Is changed, and, besides, I can't go to the ball games any more.' "No? said I. 'Why not? "Because,' said Jasper, "having a piece of my arm in my nose, whenever I get excited over a good play I start to wave it, and that makes me so con spicuous.' " After the Roast. A tall, urbane man with a black mustache was a guest at a fashionable dinner in New York not long ago when a lady on his right, after mentioning that she bad just returned from a trip to Europe, proceeded to "roast" William Loeb, Jr., the collector of customs for tbe city. She panned that official to a rich dark brown and did it In such a witty manner that the tall, urbane gentleman laughed uproarously. "I think tbe appropriate death for him," she said, "would be choking with Irish lace, and I'd like to contribute some of tbe lace for the purpose." After dinner she asked her hostess: "What was the name of tbe black mustached man on my left, dear? He talked so intelligently about tbe custom house." "I should think be would," replied tbe hostess.

I knew Jefferson must have dropped them. I hurried out to the lift after him, but he had gone by way of the stairs, and, though I shouted: 'Joe! Joe!' he didn't bear me. I ran down after him, two steps at a time, and caught him up as he reached tbe door. "'Here, Joe,' I gasped, "you've forgotten something.' "He took tbe papers and looked at me very gravely.

Get It by Reading a Gossipy Letter You Wrote Years Age. There is nothing mora interesting than to come across unexpectedly an intimate and gossipy letter that one wrote oneself ten or fifteen yean ago. In reading such a letter one Is looking at oneself from the outside. The process is a good deal like looking out of the window and seeing oneself go past In the crowd. The strange part of the matter is that in reading such a document one is generally filled with a sort of pity for the fellow who wrote it He seems to have been rather uncertain of himself. He .groped for bis facts and his ideas. Evidently he did not know much. He was merely an Imperfect adumbration! of the admirable person who Is aosv 'overlooking his correspondence, eh? Thattls the first Impression. But presently one feels differently about it These 'half baked opinions may now have hardened into dogmas. We may now be cocksure of what once we only surmised. But who is so hopelessly wrong as the cocksure men? If the pecsen one was fifteen years ago could' contemplate objectively tbe person one Is now perhaps he would pity the parblind dogmatist more than we pity the groping experimentalist New Tork MaiFather Seemed Rigtrt.
