Brown, postmaster WHY WE ARE CHEERFUL By M. K. Thomson, Ph. D. HE normal healthy person Is usually cheerful.

Cheerfulness Is the rule rather than the exception. The optimistic attitude Is like gauge, ft Indicates that all Is well. The opposite attitude shows that there Is something wrong. We are cheerful because It Is pleasant to he that way and we usually prefer the pleasant feelings and emotions to their opposltes. Cheerfulness has In It the nole of hope and expectancy.

This Is decided asset In the struggle of life. Our chances of getting what we want and of over- "BY JINGO!" By Jean Newton JINGO" dates back several hundred years, being contribution made to our language hy Basque mountaineers who In the Thirteenth century were brought over to England bv Edward the First to aid him In the subjection of Wales. The Basque provinces lie along northern Spain and southern France and their speech is said to be the sole survival of the ancient Iberian tongue. In the language of these hillmen "Jainko," from which we have "by jingo," expressed the supreme deity. Appropriated originally by the English soldiery the corruption took hold in popular speech and the phrase "by jingo" has survived to this day.

KNOW I'm the ugliest creature living," said the Wart Llog to Billie Brownie who had gone to the zoo to see his friend the wart hog. The wart hog's name, as you remember, Is Clarence. "Weil," said Billie Brownie, "it saves you the trouble of fussing about yourself all the time. "Mow I heard of a little girl and a grown-up lady," Billie Brownie continued. "The grown-up lady scolded the little girl for being very vain because she looked in the glass so much.

"But the little girl saw the lady often looking in the glass, too! Yes, the little girl had had these ways handed to her from her mother. Both were very vain, though it is true both were very good looking. "They knew there was something to see that was pretty if they looked in ths glass, yet their expressions didn't amount to much so vain and conceited, they were! "Now you are never bothered that way." "Never," said the Wart Hog, "it Is true. 1 don't need a mirror. I don't want a mirror.

In fact, I dislike a mirror. "I'm aware of my own ugliness, and that Is a good thing. Of course, I do not see how I could help but be aware of it. "It's plain on the face of It and 1 mean that as a joke as well as the truth," added the Wart Hog. "I think it is often well to announce when a Joke Is a joke.

Then one is sure to get a polite laugh or a smile at least, and one's own feelings aren't hurt, and the other creature doesn't feel as though he had made a mistake by not knowing whether to laugh or not. "Yes, it's a good friendly thing to tell another when one makes a joke, or make what one thinks is a joke." "Now 1 think it is quite nice for the Wart Hog to say 'it's plain on the face of for that is an expression and yet there is much truth when one speaks of its being plain on tlm face of the Wart Hog. "Of course this isn't uproarloms funny, but It Is a nice little line deserv- ing of a friendly smile from those who hear it." Billie Brownie smiled. "Ah," said the Wart Hog, "that was nice. Well, no one can deny my ugll- "I'm Aware of My Own Ugliness, and That Is a Good Thing." ness if they do doubt (and I wouldn't blame them) whether I've a sense of humor or not My warts are so plentifully ugly and my horns go this way and that they never go far away from my head, I'll admit.

"My tail is so shapeless and its hairs are so few and ridiculous and I have such a queer old expression to my face. "It is all very true. I am excessively, exceedingly, extreme'ly ugly! "No one, it has been said, can feel sad over not being beautiful, for when they see me they are beautiful by comparison. "Now, Red River-Hog Is good look- Ing. I think it is a waste of looks, for no one expects a hog to be a thing of beauty, and Red River Hog Is always giving people such shocks by showing that he is good to look upon.

"But for all my ugliness and my absurdities, I'm a traveled hog. "I do brag about this every once In awhile. But I'm sure you can't blame me. If I'm ugly and willing to admit it at least, I can boast a little about my traveling and I like to do so every so often. "My home was in East Africa.

That was, of course, before I came here. "On my way here I stopped off with my owner in Venice. Yes, friend, I've coming difficulties and dangers are Increased by maintaining a cheerful frame of mind. It Is because of this fact that we often pretend to be oheerful and optimistic when we are far from It. It helps uf to keep up a good courage which Is so essential to success.

We are also cheerful because we have discovered that It has a more favorable effect on others. No one wants to be associated with grouch. "Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone." The world places a high premium on joy, laughter and cheerfulness. Those who make others laugh are extremely popular. They are welcome everywhere.

Cheerfulness Is desirable not only as a means of getting what we want, but It Is also desirable In Its own right as an end In Itself. Pleasure and happiness which cannot exist without a cheerful disposition are a part of life and a very Important part. We live for these experiences. When we have them we seek to retain them. When we haven't them we move earth and heaven to attain them.

"And I've heard of people In Chicago who've never been farther than Zion City and some not even as far as that. "And I've heard of people In Point- au-Pic, Quebec, Canada, who've never been out of their village.

So don't turn up your snouts at the Wart Hog. "Or rather, I should say, don't turn up your noses at the Wart Hog, for he has seen more of the world than many a beautiful creature who has no warts and no ugly tall and no thin, hideous hair, and no ridiculous horns.

(Copyright.) The World Is Full.of piracies By A HEADER writes the following: "I note that In giving us something to think about, you frequently refer to the Bible.

I am an earnest student of the scriptures, hut there Is one part of them that 1 cannot understand and that Is the miracles. I wish you would write an article about them." The reality of the miracles has always been the first thing attacked by those who wore unbelievers In the Christian religion. Voltaire, although before he died he erected a church which bore the Inscription: "Deo ereslt Voltaire." erected this to was an unbeliever and ot the miracles, he said: "A miracle is a suspension of the laws of nature; such a thing never did and never can take place." Let us suppose that in the Interior of Africa there lived a man who never having seen ire knew nothing of its character or properties. Another native who had traveled to a cold climate saw men and even horses upheld' by the surface of a -river. Would not the first roan receive the of what his companion had seen utter unbelien Would ho not say, "What you tell me cannot he true because they would sink as soon as they stopped on the water? To remain on the surface would be a suspension of the i i of nature and so cannot be The Bishop of Uipon, In a sermon preached during the war ami listened to hy at least one Ameri soldier, said: "A miracle Is not arirary to nature, but contrary to our conception of nature." Two thousand years before the Christian era Sanscrit history tolls of the miracles of Menu and later of Christna, and the religious literature of India, hy far the most voluminous of all religious writings, gives thousands of Incidents of "supernatural" happenings.

For nearly three centuries after the death of Christ the historians of that period have written down the accounts of miracles. Tacitus and Suetonius recite thorn and evon the raising of the dead Is recorded as having resulted from the application of religious truths. If this he miracles result from the application of they are as possible in the Twentieth ceu tury as in the first. Certain It Is that there has never been a groat religion from the time of Brahma and his "Institutes" down to the present which has not had its record of is a better translation of the Crock original than "miracle." And profane as well as sacred writings have lent their support to the recordings. But why let the question of the authenticity of the healing of the lepers or the curing of the blind or even the resuscitation of the dead Interfere with the acceptance of the idea of on all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving Creator? Are not the springing grass, the bursting flower, the beauty of nature and the wonders of the human body and Intelligence each a marvel, a miracle, past all explanation and human comprehension? Every sunrise and every star-lit sky is wonder a thousand times greater tliiiii all the miracles ever written down.

"The world," said Martin Luther, "Is full of miracles." Few of them we understand, all of them we accept. Why quarrel or question that all things are possible to the Creator? ira McClure Ntwsuuuer Serve on lettuce with mayonnaise dressing. Raw Vegetable Salad.
