Ne often read and hear discussions on
the question "whether We shall recOgu'zs
our friends hereafter" How can We ever
doubt it? If love abides, are we not to
know those whom we lover What would
i'm nortality be If we were glad to go
there alone, Sc parated from all the loved
ones, the knowledge of whom has made
the very essence and sweetness of our

Truth In Death.
~ vi. c..


We have man named Burrows in our
mining camp, and he was without doubt
the most no orious liar Nevada will ever
shelter. His fame as q liar spread for a
hundred miles around, ana men who used
to stop at our camp to get look at him.
He wasn't a wicked man and he had no
malice about him, but he was natural
born liar. h lied about his father, his
mother, his wife, brother, sister, and
everybody else, one for every hour in the
day he had new fslseh0od. He hal a
claim of his own and WAS fairly industri
Gus, and so we had no excuse to drive him
out although his lies were continually
nicking up i'll feeling among the men.
One day lot of eRrtn and rocks cayed in
on him and inflicted fatal injuries, and
a number of knocked OF work to be with

life to him. he told Us that he had been

buried a large amount OF piunder. Wa
all knew he was from Ohi) and had never
seen any ocean, but he stuck TO it. One
of the men finally felt it his duty to
say:
Burrows, Jou have but short tims
to live. You had better spend that in
preparing for eternity"
"ive al.us been good" he quickly re-
piled.
"Yey, but you are an awful liar, You

He went off soon after that and we
said to each other that he had given us
the greatest yarn of all. No Que took
his claim, which was accounted q poor
one, and 1t lay for three months before
one of the boys dug into it one day for
