Women do not iaugh m much :
men. They are believed to lie less rich
ly endowed than men with a sense of
humor, but true or not, that Is not a
full explanation. Many humorous, even
witty, women hardly get beyond ;t
smile. The giggle and the titter are
not laughter at all, merely a kind of
make-believe, suggestive of sawdust
and shavings. It will be a pity if civ
ilization banlshefl from the gentle sex
that wholesome laugh which still doeth
good like a medicine. More than one
domestic (rials might lie alleviated or
averted by laughter. The housemother,
who dropped a dish of potatoes on
their way to the kettle, so that they
landed in a deep pan of dough rising
beside the stove, and who then sat
down and laughed till she cried at the
funny, helpless air of the half-buried
potatoes, had a potent charm against
discouragement. To laugh at the blun
der of the green maid who, being told
to turn the mattreas every day, made
the bed first and turned the mattrens
afterward, U to forget the annoyance
of the moment in the sense of its ab
surdity, laughter is a kind of magi
cian, or, better Bill!, a fairy. In fact,
Mr. Barrle hag a novel scientific ex
planation of the origin of fairies in
his "The Little White Bird." He says:
"When the first baby laughed for the
first time, hla laugh broke into a mill
ion pieces, and they all went skipping
about. That wag the beginning of
fairies." Everybody knows that the
fairle are the best "mothers' helpers"
and houseworkers in the world, and
that no well-regulated family can af
ford to be without them. Perhaps they;
were born of the laughter of grown
up folk as well as of that of babies. In
that case, the scarcity of fairies now
adays may be traced to the infrequen-
cy of the langh of the overscrious
woman.
It is a wonder wmen has necome a
commonplace that each of the millions
of men and women in the world has an
appearance so different from all the
others as to be easily recognizable
among the throng. The rare exception
to the rule, as In the case of those twin
brothers one of whom died recently in
Boston, is regarded os little short of
miraculous, although in reality the
miracle Is in the usual unllkeness, in
stead of In the occasional likeness. Ta
sure, all Chinese look alflce to Amer
icans, but It is equally true that all
Americans look alike to Chinese. Tha
fact doubtless Is that the distinguish
ing variations are not the same for
the two raee. We look at two Asiatic
faces, and seeing them alike where
Caucasian faces are different, do not
notice the unllkeness In other and un
expected details. The prevalent idea
that various nations have a type of
face is open to discussion. We speak
of a typical Irish or Italian face, as if
it would !e recognize le under any
circumstances. But do not dres, the
fashion of wearing hair and board, the
(it tit tides due to occupation and the
complexion due to climate piny a very
larpe part In the composite picture
which we call a "type"? Certain It is
that although there may be a charac
teristic American voice or figure, there
is no distinctive American face. This
may be accounted for by our mlacella-.
neous forbears, but it is quite likely to
be explained by our wldeJy varlad IWea
and occupation, rven among those
l longing to the tame social pline. The

and razors with these they assaulted
Warden Wilkinson and his officers.
The warden's clothing was slashed

with a chair, raining blows upon
them right aod left Finally he was
felled by a knife thrust In the baekv
Guard Ootte was cut In the abdo
men so that entrails protruded, while
l'aliners was severely cut In the bead.
The floor of the office was covered
with blood.
Whan the armory post was reached
(Officers there attempted to Interfer ,
but were quickly overpowered. Then,
after further fortifying themselves
with rifles, knives, pistols, and
ammunition, a dash for the country
was made.
Convicts, each armed with rifles
marched on either side of Warden
Wilkinson, who was threatened with
death if be made an attempt to es
cape, and the officers were told that
if any of the pursuers took the life
of one of their cumber they would

t ntlary, the warden, bis, grandson
and Captain Murphy were released

marched along with the convicts.
Warden Wilkinson in his state
ment says:
"I went up to the prison as is my
customary duty to see the convicts
eat their breakfast. I stopped at
the captain's office to wait for the
prisoners to walk out from breakfast.
We were sitting In the office when
the line made its appearance from
the breikfast room a d started for
the grounds. Suddenly seven or
eight of their prisoners made a rush
for the line with razors and knives
drawn, and cime .directly form.
Tney were joined by others. I Judge
there were about fl'teen.

at Danville, 111.
FORM CORDON ABOUT JAIL
No Further Attempt to Get

SHERIFF JUSTIFIES ACTION
UNEASY FEELING PREVAILING IN
CITY BUT SOLDIERS ABLE TO
PREVENT ANY OUTBREAKS-
Danville. 111., July 27. Two killed
at d twenty-two wounded, the police
nation wrecked, the county jail with
few of its windows left unshattered,
the city in the hands of the state
tionpsand a feeriug of uneasiness
aod dread prevailing everywhere,
is the situation left by the race riots
of Satuiday night and early this
morning. After daylight appeared
this morning, there were restless
crowds In toe s' rcets. Hundreds of
farmers poured into the city and
each surrounding town continued to
swell the crowd.
There were many miners seen on
the streets. Great unrest and a
threatening attitude was reported
from Wc.stville , five miles away.'
Karly the morning Wilson, the
negro ass dlant of Mrs. Burgess, was
secretly taken from the court jail,
but was returned shortly afterwards.'
Four companies of the Seventh
II Juois infantry arrived at 9:30 this
morning from ingfield where the)
regiment is holding its annual en
campment. Streets were soon cle.rJ
ed and tbe threatening attitude of tbe
crowds disappeared.
Sheriff Whitlock said today, in
giving his version of tbe shooting
into the mob:
"After I saw from the jail that
the mob was determined to attack 1
went to the veranda and attempted
to talk to the mandened men. As I
stepped Into view of tbe crowd two
shots were Bred, one bullet striking
the wall back of me. I fired two
shots into the air. Someone shouted
that I was only bluffing and was
booting blank cartridges. I warned
the mob I would r sist an attack on,
the jail with powder and lead.
Xhere was anot ler Shot 'from the
mob and it surged forward. I then
iired a load from my shotgun into
their legs. This drove them back,
but they returned a moment later
to tho attack of the front of the
door.
"I was alarmed for the safety of,
my wife and children. My wife took
a gun and said she would stand by1
me. I got her and the children out,
of the way, and then as the leadersi
came with the rail to batter down
the door. I shot down the rail to1
make them drop it Tnls accounts
fur so many being shot in the hands
and arms. I fired eight or ten shots
in all.
Sheriff Whitlock bad four deputies
and and three constables with bim
in the Jail guarding the prisoners.
He says none tired into the mob but
himself.
There are all sorts of rumors afloat
tonldit and a strained situation is
notlcible. Hut the 200 soldiers.
here.lt is believed, will prevent fur-1
ther outbreaks for the present atf
1-ast. Half of these will be cn duty
ail the time.
Leading citizens say the outbreak
has been feared for a long time, as"
bitter feelllng has existed f ir several
jears between the negroes and a cei
tain class of white persons. A num
her of miner outbreaks has occurred
during the past year.
The feeling against the soldiers is
notlclhle. The commissary depart
ment today had much trouble Retting
leslaurants to serve meals. Man
refused to feed the soldiers Thero
was one clash between tbe guard and
a miner named Edward Liggett, who
began abusing a guard. The soldier
leveled bis bayonet and Liggett, was
arrested and Hoed I ICO. Four other
companies of tbe regiment are under
arms at Springfield awaiting orders.
Crowds gathered during tbe day
near tbe lines and cursed tbe sol
diers. They were scattered by bayo
nets In sevcial Instances. Officers of
the guar 1 do not anticipate any at
tack however. The general belief ia
that tbe presence of tbe troops has
suppressed the lawless element. The
sheriff, and military officers, have
urged all cltltens to remain off the
streets.
