its lowest terms. There is no composite

failure of one set of cells gradually

is alive or dead as it's protoplasm is
alive or dead. Here, in their simplest

of heat and cold, mechanical forces,
and the assaults of chemical affinities
may destroy these single particles of
life; but it is not overthrown by rude
accident, and If provided with food and
drink, their protoplasm lives forever.
Each particle feeds until, outgrowing
convenient size, it cleaves asunder and
one life becomes two lives So far as
reason and observation can inform us

WOMAN,S LOVE.

Said to Be Different In Intensity at
Certain Periods of Life.
Is it possible for woman to love
twice with the same intensity? is a
question often asked, but seldom an
swered. There seems to be so many
sides to the question that an answer all
at once would be quite impossible; but,
viewing it as any other problem, weigh
ing every phrase, and looking at it
calmly and dispassionately, there
comes more than one reply to the in
terrogation, and it resolves Itself into
this, yes and No." Woman may love
with equal intensity at different periods
Of her life. but the love will be of an
entirely different character. To begin
with many women imagine the fancy
of moment to be the everlasting re-
gard of lifetime, and for the time
being they will be as much in earnest,
suffer as keenly, and feel as deeply as
though they were really in possession
of the genuine sentiment. Therefore
when years go on and they meet man
who inspires true, earnest and sincere
feeling of affection, the world wonders
at the second outpouring of feeling,
and considers her either tickle or capa-
BILE of more than one great love in
lifetime. So few women know their

that the man who pleased the girl of
II has no attraction for the woman
whose tastes have changed, whose mind
has broadened, while he, a man at the
time her early fancy was attracted, re-
mains as he was, while she progresses
far beyond him. Love, lasting and en-
during, love of the type, comes but
once, and comes to stay; but tickle,
fleeing fancy can so disguise itself that
no one could discover it was not the
genuine article until the passing years
proved to the unhappy woman her mis-

SUCCESS. PEACE AND HARMONY

attended. goodly number being left

gard to the place from which the train
was to leave There were several
trains at the Wabash depot and the
general impression seemed to be that

leaving this city from side track in
stead of from the main line as was eX-
peeted just about 7:3O there was the
ringing of the bell. the go-a-head
signal and the train pulled out with a
happy crowd of excursionists for
Savannah, and the waving of hands
and handkerchiefs as farewell ex-
preston of God-speed and love The
day was beautiful, the birds were
singing. the verdant fields and the
sylvan woods gave an added charm to
the environments At every station
the populace were assembled at the
depot to see and be seen and the merry
laughter exchanged between the ex-
cursionists and the residents of the
town through which the train passed
was one of the especial features of the
journey.
The journey was made in about six
hours. The reception committee at
Savannah were at the depot awaiting
our arrival. We were received in
most cordial manner and everything
that could he done for our welfare and
enjoyment was graciously done. 1t
would seem that every family left the
latch string outside. Men, women and
children extended the hand of fellow
