And one We gladly hail with songs orlove

And nothizg do We know about these sisters
Except that ore brings hope the other

Underneath life's brilliant dress. are weeds
And underneath her somber cloak, death

And one with stab and blow. relentless does
The other brings mysterious rest to every
aching heart.
Life makes many prophecies that seemeth
high and brave,
But death hides all her promises in the

And which is kindest, best. and truest unto

Which one is blest of God. and which one

Behold the blessed Savior with each sister

And guiding them forever. SO does He lead

To dwell with Him in holiness, before the

is an important item in the good OF bad
impression Of q room. White walls
have long denounced. and need not
here add venom TO their death blow
society is rapidly giving them up. A
dark wall adds size because the eye can
not exactly measure the distance at
which the wall stands; whereas, in the
case of white wall. the eye calculates
il to an inch. A gold ceiling contrasts
beautifully with almost any colored
wall, and does not bring do wn the roof

Atchison Globe: The state of Kansas
would command more respect among

commissioners and pay their fare on the

rich enough to pay its own officers and
allow them mileage, and the fact thss
IL prefers TO saddle its expense on corpo-
