QUEER ACCIDENT OCCURS
At Cordova recently when the
changing tide tipped a launch over or
its side, near the city dock, an un
known fisherman, who was lying or
the ground painting the craft, was
covered with an avalanche of boxes
and other material. The launch had
moved a piling on which it was sup
ported. At first the man appeared
badly injured and he was taken tc
the hospital on a stretcher. It
soon developed however, that nothing
was wrong and he walked away about
his business.

SMILE.
A smile is quite a funny thing
Tt wrinkles up your face,
And when it’s gone you never find
It’s secret hiding place.
But far more wonderful it is
To see what smiles can do;
You smile at one, he smiles at you
And so one smile makes two.
*
He smiles at someone since you
smiled
And then that one smiles back;
And that one smiles until, in truth.
You fail in keeping track.
Now, since a smile can do great
good,
By cheering hearts of care,
Lets smile and smile and not forget,
That smiles go everywhere.

If your boss looks kinder gloomy
