No one who has ever lived lu the house with one endowed with this invaluable quality will underrate Its powers or dissent from an opinion which makes It a matter for prayer an 1 fasting If by such means the gift may I lured from heaven. There Is nothing more healing than innocent laughter, nothing that helps us mure lightly and blithely over the email roughnesses and angularities of a life still no distant as this one from the ultimate calm of perfection, says the essayist. a real sense of humor, too, two enviable qualities In Us possessor, intellect aud fine manners. It is an old adage that the thinker ses life as comedy, while the man of sees it as tragedy. The thinker's is the farther view, for if he sinilee to aee man squirming in the iron vise of fate U is because he knows fate humanly created, and because he realises how small a part any one form of suffering Is in this tremendous vortex. As humor tainted by malice ceases u be humor, so too this gift belongs to the man of fine manners; his humor must distinguish accurately where It can tickle and where It can only wound. As Meredith, the classic authority on the whole subject of humor ssys, the quality must have salt aud soul." The salt of quirk perception of incongruity is a gift from heaven as rare and divine as the poetic vision of life, and the soul of humor Is the power of loving and pardoning while we mock human weakness. The value of humor Is Incommensurable. Nothing so effectively corrects the windblown estimate of personal Importance as the laugh without bitterness; nothing more effectively holds up the mirror to nian'e diminutive part In the great play of tho Ufa of tho worlds But. when one has praised humor to the utmost one must state the other side of 'the matter. Humor is not the panacea to all human Ills, as the exorbitant demand for It would sometimes valuImply. Even able an asset as it Is, tout be carried too far. It may be good breeding to hide a hurt. It may be mere policy to disguise it, but who has looked deep Into life known the true state of tho esse, and In literature, at any rate, an appeal to the tragedy each man hldea la as legitimate as the appeal of the thinker to stand aside and view the comedy of living. Mere unattended good humor and unboned sweetness do not fit us for meeting every calamity In life. These qualities, so excellent In kind, do wabble a little when they are left to stand all alone. They are an endowment to which to add something else. Humor plays its part In a corner of life, but life is infinitely angular, and then are many corners and also tho great central field to By Glenn Guernsey. NEW YORK.

Figures presented show the estimated rxpendl-tur- s Involved should every mile of railroad In the United States be reconstructed for operation by electricity, and the rolling equipment changed to correspond. The total cost of such a change Is given at about tl.600.000.0M. Electrical power houses to give a total of S,1M,0M kilowatts or S.IM.OM horsepower, would be required. Fifteen hundred million of dollars is a sum so vast that It means nothing to tho average person, and yet It represents an Investment so stupendous that only an extremely small portion of it can be considered to have any relation to the Immediate futute. The economy of such a change has been estimated. In prospect, as considerable. Present operating costa for the movement of every car and engine In the country total $1,400, MO.OM In one year. By electrification this would be reduced to shout $250,000,000, representing that much actual and net saving. This last aum la Indeed enormous, but It only emphasises the magnitude of the project of universal electrification; for the most radical advocates of the new power have not yet dared to claim that the saving, large as It seems, would warrant the change In Its en- se Smart -- Clothes saw In the Saturday ing Post are sold in this town by fool-frien- half-holid- SUITS, Dainty WHITE WAISTS.

John D. Rocke- feller, put M.kSI.Sl between him and the poor house. Throe months ago hs received a little pin money of the saute amount. His annual Income from Standard Oil slock alone Is over or about a million and a quar- ler a month. For the past throe years the New Jersey corporation has declared a dividend of $15 per share for this quarter. In IMS It paid $20. in order to get rid of a few millions In superfluous coin. The dividend of thia philanthropic institution, which has placed midnight oil In the reach of the most humble. Is now at the rate of $60,000,-00- 0 a year. As the total capitalisation is $100.000.0M, this la at the modest rate of 60 per cent. According to the records, John D. Rockefeller has drawn $141,152,810 in dividends from his New Jersey Standard Oil stock In the last eight years. It must not be Imagined, however, that tie has been forced to subsist on such a modest Income. Mr. Rockefeller owns much stock In other oil, railroad and Industrial corporations, which serves to bring hla dividend to quite a respectable figure. Irish to Celebrate.

The speakers of tha evening will be Governor Hughes, Secretary Taft and Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, and while It Is said that their addresses will be devoid of political significance, such a meeting of distinguished presidential aspirants will undoubtedly attract wide attention. Ab Hummel Out Again. now Abe Hummel, attorney-at-laa guest of the city at Blackwell's lab and, will be discharged nest week. Little Abe, as he la familiarly known, waa a prominent witness In the first Thaw trial, and was said to have been Stanford White's legal adviser In hie relations with Evelyn Nesbit. Letter Hummel came Into conflict with the law, and his enforced retirement to the Island was the result. Upon his release, it is said, hs will make a tour of , Europe before resuming the practice of hla honorable profession in New York. Some time ago reports were flamboy antly circulated by the yellow proas to the effect that Hummel waa dying. From the same sources the public secured the Information that the little lawyer, garbed in stripes, was engaged In tha pleasant pastime of breaking large atonee Into small ones. Those familiar with Hummel'a sojourn on the Island state that both reports were false, and that tha prisoner has enjoyed the best of health, that he haa not been forced to wear tha clothing of tha other prisoners and that his moat strenuous labor has been In eating the delicacies and perusing the hooka and papers brought him by faithful friends. Thus is the city administration relieved of the hateful charge that It haa forced a man of Hummel'a wealth, culture and ability to indulge In anything so vulgar as manual labor. Greatest en Earth.
