Newspaper Page Text"TT, WiTvi v t (yr t THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. iv . J TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. Hcnlth brings wealth nioro often than wealth IhIiirh lionltli. A philosopher In n tnan who enn boo iiow others innke such big mlHtiikcs. Birds of a feather Hock together and so do Jallhlrds of tlit; smile stripe. Thoso flighty parlor mntchds enn never ho depended on. They lose their bends so easily. Dogs don't try to show off before fitrnngcrs. No wonder some people prefer dogs to children. The greatest man In the world Is probably wondering what ho can do to-morrow to keep up the bluff. Down In Mississippi the children have quit being afraid to go to bed In the dark. They know there are no bears there. Mario Corel 1 1 Is screeching at the United States for having such quanti ties of money. Mario Corclll Is mad becauso she Is not getting more of It An actress swallowed her watch while asleep. We fear that the lady who Rings next door to us will swallow tho music rack sonic day when taking high II. The man who wrote "Tho Mocking Mini" Is dead. He got ?;t." for the long. The publishers made $.'1,000,000 out of It. Ho has been sulllcletitly punished. M. .TusHcrand, tho newly appointed ambassador from Franco to this coun try, sees In tho United States a "world power." Clearly tho gentleman has his glasses properly fociiHed. Judge Ilogan, of Chicago, has decid ed that this Is a free country and that girls may smoke cigarettes. Sure, they may I Hut they ought to be obliged to have their breaths laundered uflcrwards. A Now York "gent" who rose In two years from olllco boy to tho Presidency of a trust company has been scut to the penitentiary for fraudulent opera tions. It appears that It Is still possi ble now and then to bo too bright. In suggesting that our army olllccrs should not marry until they are ma jors, Major General Corblu overlooks tho possibility that when an olllccr gets to bo a major he may not want to marry, und If ho does nobody might want to marry him. A court hns decided that there Is no law against women smoking cigarettes or even big, black cigars. Now all wo need Is a similar decision In favor of tho clay pipe, preferably tho short, black one of tho peasant woman, anil tho emancipation of woman will bo complete. Tho power of a nation of 70,000,000 people, with such enormous advant ages of soil, climate and transportation facilities, Is almost unthinkable and makes It Inevitable that the United Htates shall control the world's mar kets, unless Kuropo should unite her various peoples In tho zollvereln so often suggested. Considering tho dif ficulties of the different languages, re ligious and social customs, to say noth ing Of contllctlug lutcrcsts.suchn union Is Impossible, but wo already have It In the United States. Tho moral luuuouco of soda water Is iiald to lie very uppareut In the Philip pines, "where n man can ralso a thirst," and where, If uunhta to get temperance drinks, he too often turns to something less wholesome. Not only are substantial profits made on tho soda fountain and leu cream parlor In the Manila building of the Young Men's Christian Association, but these accessories do an amount of good that money could hardly measure. Is there uny moralist so hovero that ho would criticize this method of cheeking a bad habit by tho substitution of a harmless vno? If so, ho ought to bo reminded that no crlmo was over committed un der tho lntlueuce of orange phosphate, nnd that over-indulgence Iu Ico cream never deprived a family of bread. After a lapse of i!,400 years tho Per sian ambassador has found his way to the court of Greece. Somo Important changes have taken place at Athens iu that time; in fact, a good many things of Interest huvo occurred in tho world at largo since Darius so Insolently dis ported himself ut tho expense of tho Greeks, Iu some parts of tho world women vote for trustees of tho State University, nnd in other"parts thoy car Ty things with a high hand and drive ' their husbands out of tho family tent when they (tho husbands) are drunk nnd disorderly. It would worry old Darius not n little to como back and eo tho changes. Hut wo are glad dip lomatic relations havo been resumed botweou Greece and Persia; it shows us clearly that segregation Is Bhort lived. Not long ago tho governing board of one of tho Kasteru colleges said In Its annual report, in discussing tho "pranks" of tho students, that "tho ar rest and conviction of a few bumptious youths, followed by their prompt dis missal from college, would proyo an object lesson In cltlienshlp'of lucn'lcul- bl raluo to tho outlro student body," The authorities of some other college wlnk.at what they, regard as tho ove flowbf nnlnlal spirits among the stu dents, nnd attempt to 'rcstraln.the youths from' too flagrant, disregard of the conveitlons of, society rather ihan to suppress all "prankldhness." ' Thus we have tho two schools of discipline, one of repression and the other of reg ulation, Just as we have two schools of medicine, two great divisions In (ho Christian Church, two political parties, two parts of the day, light und dark ness, two sides of the earth, nnd so on through the various dualities. Each has Its merits nnd Its demerits. Tho pranks of students are seldom, If ever, vicious. That Is why tho school of regulation does not believe In repres sion. The pranks arc often violations of law; they frequently disturb the public peace, and result In tho destruc tion of property. That Is why the school of repression thinks regulation Is Inadequate. Iu France, periunny and HuhsIu the civil authorities havo to Interfere with Htudent activities more frequently than In the United States, for In Europe revolutionary movements are fomented In the great universities. Interferences there means an net of Bclf-dofcnse by the existing government; hero It means only tho suppression of an ordinary and usually thoughtless breach of tho peace. Burled deep In an old chest I found, tho other day, among other boyish trinkets, an old-fashioned almanac. How the ghost of happy, olden days walked the halls of memory at tho sight of that old almanac. I remem ber where It hung In Its place of honor over tho wood box behind tho llttlo kitchen stove. There wero no "kitchen ranges" then. It was a part of tho furniture, as were the llttlo cracked mirror nnd tho towel rack, whore, after ablutions at tho pump outside, I be took mo to comb a towsled head. There It hung from Jan. 1 to Jan. 1. Father got It nt tho drug store. Ho put In Ills order to tho drug storo early In December. Or If he forgot It, mother said: "Now, pa, don't forget to get an almanac up at tho storo beforo they are all gone." Turning over to tho Ilrst Inside pago I found, where I knew It was, tho "slgiiH of tho Zodiac." Thoso signs with their Latin nccoin paulmeuts wero to mc us weird us tho Klouslnliin mysteries to tho Greeks, and aro to this day, for that matter. Kven the preacher could not explain their full significance! And hero nro tho advertisements of tho pills and blood restorers with nil their old-time frankness and lnfalllhlllty.I knew tho names of the deponents and tho towns whero they lived, by heart. And at tho slightest Indisposition I felt every symptom thoy described. And tho Jokes at tho bottom of tho pages. Some how they do not mako such Jokes now adays. They wero durable Jokes. Thoy lasted all tho year, like tho honest blue Jeans of tho times. Tho Jokes nnd tho Jeans wero wash goods. And tho Jokes had about them the flavor of eternal humor. Yet, somehow, us I try to read those ancient Jokes I do not laugh. Tho tears got Iu my way. Maybe If I could go back thirty years tho Jokes would be funny. And not only tho tears, but the faces that como between, tho faces that nro folded In the yellow leaves. They aro like the fuded faces In tho old daguerrotypes. Homowliero thoso faces shine, doubtless, In eternal youth, but I cannot seo them! There nro al maiiaos a plenty now tons of them, but I havo been too busy to keep track of the moon's phases and read tho Jokes. And oh, weary nnd worn spirit of man, how I sometimes yearn for those days when "wo wero so happy and so pore," for tho homely and hap py days of tho old nlmanacl How tho World LiHUich. IIlKli inentallty Is shown In a laugh, accordluK to Anawers. Thero aro bkv itKea lu Africa who never laut'li; they KTln, that Is all; nnd this lack of the tiuullty of latiKhter Is n Hymptom of their low inentallty. The Chinaman has no hearty hursts of lauKhter. llo titter cynically tit tera over tho inlufortinio of an enemy or tho eloiunent of n diiUKhter of a friend. He cannot laugh. AVhen he Is delighted, or amused, or happy, ho JtiHt looks calm. The Frenchman has n reserved laugh, one which liu holds well In hand, llelng n great stickler for dig. nlty, ho Ik afraid that a loud and lion est laugh would Injure his deportment, would demean him In tho eyes of the world. You will not hear much moro laughter In Paris, though It Is true that the women Havo a cultivated, mu sical "ha-ha-ha," that they use in cafes when they wish to attract somebody's attention. Tho German's laugh Is cavornous. It comes from far down somewhere In his stomach. The laugh of tho Irish man Is, upon tho contrary, rather soprano, not a stomach laugh, nor even n cheat laugh, hut a head one. Tho English and tho Americans laugh tho best. Their ntlrtu Is so nat urally and heartily and musically ex pressed that you cannot but rejolco on heurlng It. Arutlu Humor.
