A SENSE OF HUMOR
Professor Logan Esarey speaking recently before a luncheon
meeting of Blue Key uppei classmen's honorary organization said
that the diameters lie 'ic i-izes most in his students is sense of
humor. "Not the kind of sense of humor that brings loud guf-
faws but the kind that causes a twinkle in the eye" Professor
Esarey explained.
The Professor one of Indiana's most beloved instructors de-
clared that his greatest teaching thrill comes when in the course
ot a lecture he catches a little twinkle of the ye of one of his
students. He then feels that at least one student has caught the
spirit of the lecture. "The loud laughter on some occasions isn't
necessarily a manifestation of a sense of humor on the part of
anyone" he pointed out "but usually indicates a mistake on some
one s part.
A sense of humor is such an invaluable asset that overv stu
dent owes it to himself to give more thought to its cultivation.
Some persons like Dr. Esarey are handsomely endowed with it.
while others are apparently devoid of anything but the sourest
outlook on lite 'hose whose dispositions brand them as blum
grumblers would do well to try not to take themselves and the
stern realities ot lite so seriouHy.
No one for long courts the eoniuuiionshin or advice of a cvnic
any more than he does that of a buffoon. Somewhree in between
there are those who seem to get a lot of life and put a lot in it

The choicest smile the sweetest grace are oft to stranurers
shown ; the careless mien the growning face are given to our own.
We flatter those we scarcely know. We please the fleeting guest
and deal lull many a thoughtless blow to those who love us best.
Death of Indiana lady reveals that for 22 years her divorced
husband worked for her. The only difference with his previous
status possibly being that he was paid for it.
A subscriber who doesn't care for long sermons asks us to
print this one as a suggestion to chapel speakers: It seems that a
young reporter was assigned to cover a railway wreck. The edi-
tor insisted that the story not be longer than one thousand words.
When he reached the scene of the wreck he wired back saying that
nu uesireo ten inousanu words as ne could not tell the story in
less. The editor wired back (collect) : "The creation of the world
was told in three hundred words try it."
The story that wheelbarrows were invented to teach Irishmen
to walk on their hind legs was probably started out on its rounds
by some Scotchman as a back fire againH the Scotch stories.
Most of the world's trouble is caused by reasons of the fact
that man will not do the things he knows he should do and persists
in doing the things that he knows he should not do.
MORAL CRIPPLES
The world is full of moral cripples and deformed men. Moral
ly speaking some are without arms: They have never helped a
tellow creature over the rugged spots ot Lite's way. Some are
without feet: They have never gone a single inch out of their way
to assist others. Some are voiceless : They have never even by a
word encouraged anyone who was cast down. Some are deaf:
They have never listened to the pleas of the suffering. Some are
without hearts: They know no sympathy or generous feelings.
Just stop by the way some day and watch yourself go by. New
Era.

MEDITATIN'
IN THE BATHTUB
Lntely the Meditator's life has been
filled with nothing but troubles and
sorrows. The eyes he uses to view
nature's beauty arc giving him no lit-
tle trouble; his head Is fast becoming
nude (of hair); his mother got seri-
ously ill and then his brother; now
even the nurse is abed with her aches
in the head; and Old Man Depression
has just about knocked the door from
its hinges. All this combined with
the loss of his best gfrl friend has
just about put the Meditator and his
hopes for a piospcrous future In the
gutter.

But there's a story he likes to read
when things go wrong. It cheers him
up to know there are those who get
the breaks worse than he.
The stoiy goes that Jack was dy-
ing laughing. He literally howled with
mirth. He lacked one term's work
to graduate when a telegram comes
saying that his father had died and
he must come come and go to work.
He snickered.
Prof. A. L. Hncqunert of the Uni-
versity of Ghent ( Belgium ) has learn-
ed the English language In two
months by listening to other people's
conversations while on a tour of the
American universities.
Dr. LcRoy D. Weld piofessor of
physics of Coc College (Cedar Rapids
la.) now possesses over &000 physics
tcim definitions.
Angered at ai tides published in
newspapers which were detrimental

ter men at Ohio University (Athens)

Northwestern Unlveislty (Evan-
ton III.) has been losing an aver-
age of $10 a month on public tele-
phones in its libraty because of slugs.
"Wc do not live by tliinKing tor u

IT'S SMART TO SAVE
SHOP AT
RENFRO'S
While gleefully packing his things
he got a special delivery from hlSj
best girl which made her his ox-best
girl. He was tickled then for he lov-
ed her with all his heart and soul.
THERE IS A MORAL HERE
A mountaineer lad from Carolina who joined the marines
without ever having seen an army rifle hung up a new record for
consecutive hits on the rifle range. He explained it to the major
this way:
"Every mornin' for years pa's been handin' me the old muz
zle loader with a charge of powder and just one bullet. And he
sez 'Here boy go get breakfast !' So you see I ain't used to miss-
in' much."
When he t cached the station n
bieathless boy ran out to him with
a letter saying that his two brothel. s
had been killed In an automobile
wieck getting to his fathct's bedside.
His humor was noticed by all the
passengers.
As the train passed through a small
burg close to his destination nnothei '
message was presented to him. Tit-
tering over the nttcntion he was get-
ting he read that his mother had jhst
murdered his two sisters and then
committed suicide. He was really In
stitches then.
He died tickled to death.
No the Meditator has solemnly
resolved to STOP wortylng over thc
petty doubles that come his way
every day. There are those about
him taking life in great strides with
buidcns upon their shouldcis that
would bteak the backs of camels.
The Meditatoi has another com-
plain to file against the scales of jus-
tice. Recently two children ages fl
and 9 yeais of a Hopkins county ne-
gto mother had been applying file to
the feet of a dog to make it howl
and to a neighbor's child to make it
scream. The mother discovering
them in the act said: "Chlluns Ise
gwlne to teach yo' alls whut flre'll
do to youse."
She proceeded to burn their hands
In order to teach them that fiie ap-
plied to flesh inflicts pain and injury.
Officers arrested the woman and the
county judge assessed ii heavy pen-
alty. Keep in consideration that the chil-
dren burned belonged to the negro
doing the punishing and that the in-
juries sustained by the childien uue
mere "skln-scortcrs" and not half as
bad as the injuries to the ones the
children had applied the fire. Don't
you think the negio mammy had the
right to ptonouncc a verdict of guill
and to sentence the law brcakcis the
same as the judge had to sentence
the mammy for taking the law in her
own hands? No mother is going to
be so heartless as to Inflict injury on
her beloved ones unless they need it.
Personally we think she should have
a medal and that the judge should be
tarred and feathered.
WHAT KIND OF A PLACE IS
THIS AMERICA OP OURS WHEN
A MOTHER IS SENTENCED TO
PRISON for meting and consorting
with her children? A federal court
sitting In session at Dallas reccntlv.
saw fit to sentence two mothers for
meeting their criminally turned sons
secretly on a public highway near
Dallas.
"Life is just one thing after another; love is just two fool
things after each other."
Get a glass of water handy pry open an aspirin box and then
read this:
The University of Pittsburgh is likely to be investigated by
the State Legislature. And for what ? Because they want to see
if there is anything to the charges that the University is too con
servative! And at the same time efforts for campus investi-
gations are going on in Illinois New York Wisconsin and now
Minnesota. But they're against the radicalism alleged to be prevalent.
Long after both criminals have paid
ror tneir misdeeds with their lives
the federal court further persecutes
the mothers. These mothers have al
ready suffered more than their share
without having to spend the remain-
der of their lives IN A CELL FOR
LOVING AND PROTECTING THEIR
SONS their own begotten chllden.
The maiden Justice should snatch
the bandage from her eyes long
enough to readjust her balances. The
continual adherence to custom is lead-
ing more and more to injustice. Wo
seem to forget that' things change
in time we hitch a donkey to some
of then and an 80 miles an hour loco-
motive to the other. Let's stop and
let the past get behind us before we
open the door to the future.
