WHO KNOWS 2

Who kgs,ws we have not lived before
In forms that felt delight and pain
II desth is not the open door
Through which we pass to life again!
The fruitful seed beneath the sod
In infant bud and bloom may rise;
But by the eternal laws OF God
1t is not quickcned till il dies.
The leaves that trembled on the tree,
Fall meath the stroke of autumn storms;
But by some mighty mystery,
With spring return in other forms.
As currents OF the surging sea,
From undiscovered sources flow,
So what we were and yet may be
In this brief life we may not know.
But Oft some unexpected CLEANS
Of past and aforementioned years
Break through the doorway of our dreams,
And some familiar face appears.
gentle spirit lost awhile,
Amid the change from death TO birth,
Whose beaming eye and loving smile
Recall some former scenes Of earth.
And thus unconscious OF the tic
The mystic link which love creates
Perhaps we see our own who die
In newer forms and other states.
Perhaps with every cycle passed
In all the ages yet TO be,
Our loved will come to us at last
AS parted waters find the sea.
Not wholly clad as they we're seen
When death unbound their robes OF clay;
But with seraphic face and mein,
And souls that cannot pass away

BILE services in the matter 1t has inter-
viewed congressman as to the possible
remedies Its correspondent. expresses
his establishment at finding "the great
hold that Henry Georges single tax
idea has obtained upon congressman,
particularly from the south and west"
and he gives one of these interviews as
sample. 1t was with Lawrence Nc
Gam, a member from Illinois, who was
not before known as a single tax man,
Mr.. McGann said:
/ am not able to see how we csn
reach these people. They have a right
to limit the output of coal, raise its
price. cut down the wages of their en-
ployes or discharge them, and congress
is powerless. The only way can think
of to get them by the nape OF the neck
and make them appreciate that there Is
God in Israel is to apply to them
the Henry George remedy of the single
tax.

has found mares nest in the single
tax parts of protection or free trader"
which Congressman johnson, Fithian,
Washington, Bowman and Simpson in
troduced in their speeches, and it COM
mends these parts to the farmers of
Indiana The Journal supposes, OF
course, that the farmers will be indig-
nant, but that is because it does not UNI
derstand what the single tax is. The
farmers will understand it as soon as
they read this best of all congressional
documents ever published, and we gre
grateful to the Journal for commencing
it to their attention.

There's a ,cide difsren

There's a ,cide difference
between the help that's talked OF
and the help that's guaranteed.
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine?
If you're satisfied with words, you
get them with every blood-purifier
but one. That one is DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, syou get a guarcntee. If it
doesn't help you, you have your
money back. On this plan, medi-
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine is
different, that it's sold differently.
It's not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May. At all
seasons and in all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from tor
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for dollar.
With this, you pay only for the
good you get.

Several hours passed before there was
any abatement in the storm, and then
when Dick did not make his appearance,
her an xiety about the safety of herself
and baby gave way to dread concern
ing his fate. While the wind shrieked
and the snow fell in binding sheets,
she comforted herself that ne was snug
ly housed in the village beyond, but
when he did not come in a reasonable
length of time after the storm had SUBJ
sided she became. greatly alarmed, and
over and over again wandered down the
drifted lane calling wildly for him to
come back. At last, almost in despair,
she made her way to the cabin of her
nearest neighbor, who, with quick
western sympathy, went at once to
rouse some OF the villagers to aid in the
search. He found out that Dick had
started for home some time be-
fore the blizzard struck the town,
hence must have been lost after
he entered the long lane lead
ing to his own house. 1t was not
long until many lights were glimmer-
ing in sight of the cabin, among the
snow-drifts in the narrow lane, and
half-an-hour later, almost in range
with the light Ruby had placed in
the window, one of the men stumbled
over dark object which proved to be
Dicks half-frozen body. He was not
dead, but it took hours of patient rub
bling and bathing to coax back the
heart-throbs that at first seemed to
have stopped forever. During those
honrs of terrible suspense, Ruby had
plenty of time to review the stormy
scene of the afternoon, and in deep re-
morse to weep over the arrangement
which her hasty words had caused.
Over and over on Bonded knees she be-
sought the dear Lord to give back the
precious life trembling in the balance,
and when, at last, the doctor said he
would live, she accepted the gift with
a vow that in the future the doors Of
her lips should be kept with all dill
gence.
1t was weeks before Dick was able
to go about his daily work again, but
these days of pain and waiting were
not lost, for out of them grew an I'M
derstanding between the young couple.
which enabled them to keep their lives
from drifting apart by faithfully OBJ
serving the little home courtesies
which have so much to do with keep
ing the fire of love burning brightly in
the bosoms of those who day after day
gather around the same hcarthstone.

went out, shutting the door behind him
with bang. He did not come In again
until supper time, and then he made
his way round to the back door and
took pains to sweep the snow from his

Dick, sullenly, as he rose from the
table and proceeded to draw on his over
coat. The next minute he was ont in

choking her. They had never before

to forgive her, but he was far down

back to her work in the kitchen, but
notwithstanding her words her heart
was heavy and the evening seemed
more tedious than ever before.
Towards night n fierce blizzard from
the north swept down the valley, shak-
ing the windows in their case

its foundation. Almost paralyzed with
fear, Ruby crouched down by the crib,
expecting every new blast of wind to
wrench the frail building to pieces.
