A flower in every human face;
In pathways where most thorns abound

For those who sang of sunny days
And those who sorrowed be had cheer;
Yet could he walk through lonely ways

The heights wcro won he sought to win;
For love through him made all things fair,
And all things fair through love are kin.

this statement l cannot make public

not attempt suicide.

pected after last nights turn in affairs"
with this Mr.. Goff went into his pri-
vate room, where he was engaged with

The feeling in Mr.. COTS office in
regard to the affair Is very strongly in
favor of the statement made by Apo
that an attempt was made to murder
him.
One thing that will go long way to
do away with the suicide theory is the
fact that when Apo left his home yes
terday morning he did not have knife.
The only knife that Apo owned Is Mt
