Planets With Three SIMS

The people %inhabiting the planets in
the solar system of Gamma have no

of a land like our which is alternate

ACT NOW.

Is there some noble deed that you may do2
Some point to gain on high?
Act now. and thus unto thyself be true,
Tomorrow you may die.
Is there some cheering word that you may
speak
While day is passing by?
Go, let that precious word the silence break,
Tomorrow you may die.
Is there some grievous wrong that you may
right.
Or hush some deep-drawn sigh.
Remember, while so swiftly comes the night.
Tomorrow you may die.
Go, pour sweet balm into some wounded
heart;
Go, wipe some fearful eye;
Let not the act with day depart,
Tomorrow you may die.
Yea, go and make your peace with God and
Ere on your couch you lie;
Secure a crown of life, it's VISIONS pan,
Tomorrow you may die.

him with few pleasant words. A
sharp rebuke was administered to
Bishop Worthington at Monmouth by
Mr.. Bryan. The nominee replied to a
statement made in an interview with
the bishop, published in a Chicago
paper. In the interview Bishop Worth
ington was alleged to have said that
the trouble with the farmers boy was
that he secured too many advantages
under the free educational system. In
his rejoiner Mr.. Bryan said In part:
To talk about the over education of our
farmers sons and to attribute the difficulties
which surround us today to over education
is, to my mind one Of the most cruel things
that man ever uttered. This financial Ques-
ton involves the welfare OF our nation, 1t in
wolves humanity, 1t involves civilization, be-
cause. mark my words. II the gold standard
goes on and people continue to complain, the
gold standard advocate, instead of trying to
improve the condition Of the people, will be
recommending that you close your schools
so that the people will not realize how badly
they are suffering Is it strange that there
can be anybody in this country so far re-
moved from the masses Of the people as to
think that the masses Of the people are being
well cared for? No, my friends, 1t is not

brought never-ending demands on his time
and energy, and his great, unselfish nature
could not resist them.
Du Maur1er was never haunted by fear lest

OF his left eye was lost, remained always with
him. This partial deprivation of sight was
in some sense a gain to the artist as he had

artist on the staff Of Punch, who suffered in
