questioned certain it is that a hearty laugh in a womans voice is rare music an audience of women rustles with amusement but seldom laughs a group of girls gig gles but does not laugh a woman reading tho most brilliantly humorous story seldom goes beyond a smile when sir walter besom in his real ly clever skit the revolt of man pictured the time in the twentieth century when women should have usurped all power political ecclestl- cal and social he shrewdly noted that laughter had died out of england and when men revolted against their feminine tyrants they came back to their own with peals of laughter a paris doctor has recently opened a laughter cure it 1b a private institu tion and large feos ore charged tho patients sit around a room and a given moment smile at each other the smile broadens into a grin and at a signal to a peal of laughter two hours a day of this healthful exercise are said to euro tho worst cases of dyspepsia but whether tho habit of laughing easily and

would do one of those mild damp days last week but i must go out to the garden and hill up the roso bushes and some of the shrubs wet and all as tho soil was mary said if i left- it any longer like as not it would freeze up and vc wouldnt get it done at all and then the loses would not bloom half as well next summer because they would get chilled well i put on my long leather kneo boots the some as i used to wear on the farm and plodded around in fcho dampnioulduntlt i liad ailtliobuahfi i j mid jthrubs ship shape when i got to the bouse again my boots were of course soaking wet and i couldnt pull them off then i asked mary to bring me the bootjack the bootjack sho said why you havent used it for years and lflbt summer when tho kiddies were here they found it in the wood shed and were so amused with it that they asked if they could have it to play with of course i let them and i declare i haven t seen it since the last i saw or it they were sailing it down the creek for a boat it must have got loose from them and floated away i don t doubt but its down about limehouse dam by thiatlm well that beat me but i had to get those long wet boots off and with marys help and a turn botween the rungs of my arm chair i anally tug ged them off but i say what has become of the bootjacks they used to be found tn every home is that orlce indispens- able article of household furniture ex- tlnct i heard the experience of a man who wanted to buy one the other j day i had not worn long boots for a good many years said this man a middleaged lawyer in the city but when i bought a bnddlehorse last month i bought a pair of ridingboots too then i set out to buy a boot jack i i can remember when no mans bedroom was considered completely furnished without a bootjack the first christmas present i ever gave my father was a handsome iron bootjack every editor or a comic page recog nized in the bootjack one of his best friends and pages were filled with jokes about its usefulness as a misslo to hrow at cats it never occuned to me that i should have difficulty in buying one in toronto so i applied at the nearest shoe store haveyou any bootjacks i asked tho salesman looked at me un certainly for a moment oh yes he aald i know what you mean we trove trees to fit an fllfte i don t want trees i said but a jack i explained to him what it was and what it looked like never saw one in my life was his final verdict i hunted toronto for a store in which which they were kept but final ly gave up the search in vair i drew a diagram and hired a carpenter to construct one for me in my opinion the bootjack is entirely extinct at least in canada so you see mary wasnt so much different from other folks aftor all so far as having a bootjack around tho house i don t think i evci told you about an experience mary and i hud quite a few years ago lu tfovn after wo had left tho farm vpo to havo tea one evening with mi and mrs s they really had an even ing dinner a fashion just then coming in and we were picking our way back hbmfi acrow the small plot of ground which separated our homo from the most agreeable folks 1 said to mary and an excelent dinner yes said mary not very enthusi astic i continued those broilers were perfect i won der why we cant have such chickens jqhri bellevo hesaidthey woroof hu- own raising didnt he yea alary replied with awakening spirit that was what ho said and it vexed me so i could hardly sit still vexed you i questioned yes and it would vex you if you had any spunk returned mary we raised those chickens tyhat do you mean i asked in bewilderment wove never had a chicken on our place yes we have the s a chickens have been there all summei ictdrted maiy if it hadnt been for my gar den those broilers wouldn t havo been fhalt so fine and when everybody was praising them all i could think of was the garden seeds and vegetables those birds devoured since they were hatch ed in tho spring and there mr s sat and took all those compliments as calmly us if they really belonged to himl i think it was very poor tabte mary concluded with dignity with us right there at th table it wou hav been meroly decent to havo bought

paper is always boosting that home town buying is the right thing for if everybody bought away we would not have a town very long in your editorial a week or two ago you said there would be less buying from catalogues if every mer chant would advertise becauseitis adver tising that keeps the catalogue men going well i believe thats rigrny too but ono thing i would like to see all tbelocal mer chants do and there are more who flunk the same and that is for them to print the prices as much as they can in their ad vertising and i also think that if the prices are going up they should say so and tell why if they know these times we all have to bite our nickles or most of us and we certainly dont like the idea of prices going up on staples particularly and not a word about it till you reach the store i am not an advertising expert but i know whatlwould like to eeinumy local paper along that line and that is a lot of genuine information about goods and prices every week then we
