INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY
If the Father deigns to touch with divine power,
the cold and pulseless form of the buried acorn to
cause it to burst forth from its prison walls, will
He leave neglected in the earth the soul of man, made
in the image of his Creator: If he stoops to give to
the rose bush, whose withered blossoms float upon
the Autumn breeze, the sweet assurance of another
Springtime, will he refuse the words of hope to the
sons of men when the frosts of Winter come?
If matters, mute and inanimate, though clothed
by the forces of nature into a multitude of forms,
can never die, will the spirit of man suffer anihila
tion when it has paid a brief visit, like a royal guest,
to this tenement of clay?
No, I am as sure there is another life as I am that
I live today.
In Cairo I secured a few grains of wheat that had
slumbered for more than three thousand years in:an
Egyptian tomb. As I looked upon them, this thought
came into my mind. If one of those grains had been
planted on the banks bf the Nile the year after it
grew and if all its lineal descendants had been plant
ed and re-planted from that time unti,l now, their
progeny would today be sufficiently numerous to
feed the teaming millions of the world.
If thdre is in the grain of wheat the power to dis
card the body that we see and from earth and air to
fashion a new body so much like the old one that we
can not tell the one from the other: I shall not doubt
that my soul has power to clothe itself in a body suit
ed to its new existance when this earthly body has
crumbled into dust. William J. Bryan.
TRIBUTE TO A DEAD AGNOSTIC
He has lived his life. We should shed no tears ex
cept the tears of gratitude. We should rejoice that
he has lived so long. In nature's course his time had
come. The four seasons were complete in him. He had
taken Life's seven steps. The measure of his years
was full.
When the day is done, when the work of life is fin
ished, when the gold of evening meets the dusk of
night under the silent stars the tired laborer should
fall asleep. When the old oak is visited in vain by
Spring; when light and rain no longer thrill it is not
well to stand, leafless and alone. Better to fall where
Nature softly covers all with woven moss and creep
ing vine.
How little after all, we know of what is ill or well.
How little of this wondrous streamof cataracts and
pools, this stream of Life that rises in a world un
known and flows to that mysterious reaflm from
whose bourn no traveller returns.
How little of this Life we know. This straggling
way of light twixt gloom and gloom, this bit of land
by verdure clad between the unknown wastes; this
dream that lies between the shadowy shores of sleep
and death.
love, we hope, we disappear; again we mingle with
the dust and the knot intrinsicate forever falls apart.
But this we know. A noble life'enriches'all the world.

EDUCATION VS. WHITE SLAVE
Every now and thon you hear some
ono talking of how to do away with
white slavery that curse of human
ity that has been dragging young girls
down to the lowest deptsh of sham.;.
Can it be stopped? If so, how? Can
it be eliminated? May be. How? Uy
good education. Take notice, I am
not speaking on this subject just to be
speaking or to be speaking in spiteful
terms. I speak as an observer and a
believer in the oducaUon of the hu
man mind and intellect. That's why ed
ucation will help to do awny with the
abo.'e curse; Why! liecnusc here
the reason.
Of recent times there has been in
the musical line published, music
known as rag time. According to the
deductions of the World's .greatest
musical composers and experts, this
will never be classed as music at all.
Because as good music when heard by
people who like such, operates upon
their sympathy and emotion, so docs
Hag time operate upon their animal
passions. Why! Mecause not only tnci
don by-the-Bea,
I met friends 1'raise Chl wh.i were
truo friends, and whose namep, 'till
I die, I'll never forget and Keep in
memory,
These friend's names I will mention
perhaps a score or more.

While visiting a school on the vicin

teacher playing ragtime music and
teaching and allowing such children
boys and girls of four and five years
old to Jo the worst kind of ragging.
The teacher, when asked, said she be
leved rag-time was the thing. There
foro why is it that young girls aro
dragged down to ruin? Why? Be
cause some parents of pupils agree
ith this teacher that an indecent
uunce is thu thing because it is popu

When enemies are many and your

Just 'cause you don't wunt to follow
their fashion as is convention,

Sometimes too profane to mention:
Whom you speak to in good civility,
nd Udl of your travels und treat so

Who will then sneer at, grunt, and af
terwards look at you as if you're a
grizly bear.
ou will think they aro awful; But
many you surely will And
In the realms of this great universe
of humankind.
But, 1'anl, there is always an oppor
