No Passes For Fusionists.

The Populist-Democratic candi.
dates for state offices will not ride on
passes this year. This is irrespective
Of their desire.
j. W, Leedy, the candidate for gov.
ernor has always prided himself on
the fact that he has never accepted a
railroad pass while he was in Office
but there are other candidates on the
fusion ticket who do not share the
ideas OF the head OF the ticket on the
pass question. They would not mind
riding on pass but the pass is not to
be had this year.

Motto: .'God and Home and Native Land
MAKE LIFE WORTH THE LIVING.

Ihave long since solved the question
in my own mind, to make life worth
the living, we must do all the good we
can as the days are going by. 70 SOW
seeds of good tends to keep our hearts
aglow [ sometimes think how blindly
we stumble along, without seeing the
happy chances to make some heart
little lighter. Our duties lie in the
present. To make the most of life, to
help others as we have opportunity,
to do missionary work of any kind
will elevate our aims and beautlfy our
lives, consequently make life worth
the living. am reminded of little
incident which Mrs. Bottome, presi-
dent of the Kings Daughters, once
related. At one time she spoke in the
mission room, to a congregation of
poor people, men and women; not
understanding their language, which
was French, but she thought they un-
derstood her smiles and gestures bet
ter than the words. OF course she
had opportunity of shaking hands
with them as they passed out, but
farther on she smiled at the people
and kissed her hand to the children, a
very little thing to do; but the next
day French Canadian minister who
was serving the mission at the time,
urged her to stay at least a year among
them. She laughingly asked what
for, as she could not speak their Ian
guage. He replied that she could do
SO much good by smiling, that the
people all wanted her to stay and

"Don't be too submissive to circum

to the bitter end. Remember, God
helps those who help themselves. A
physician can do little comparatively,
where the dead weight of mental and
physical inertia, are both dragging
down the powers of life. The God or

body towards health. Never insinu-
ate or speak evil of others, when we
can say or do something good, equal

must try to make others happy around
us. Be cheerful, and have no petty
differences. Don't make your diseas
es and invalid experiences subject
of conversation. 1t is damaging to
both entertainer and entertained.
Dodge this type of mania, as you
would the broth of Diabolus, or if you

comforts enough of their own, without
bearing the burdens of others.

Tho Independent Theater In Russia.

The organization Of the Free theate1
was u notable event in our dramatic
life. lses Y last year the first attempts
were nl-,-e to produce literary and ar
tistic plays, and although there was no
regular company, the degree Of success
attained was gratifying. Among the
plays produced were ''Henry W. and
other Shakespearean dramas. Gerhardt
HauptmGnn ''Hannele" followed, and
had to be given 13 times, the audiences
being large and enthusiastic. Encour-
aged by this sign of public favor, the
managers leased a theater, organized a
regular company and inaugurated a
series Of remarkable productions of Rus
sian plays, new and old. Tolstoi's
'tPower Of Darkness was given, and
this alone was great service to art as
well as literature The play was dis
cussed widely and thoroughly, and
created a sensation.
The Free Theater also secured special
permission of the authorities to produce
a play by Potekhin. 1t is safe to say
that neither of these plays would ever
have been staged by private managers.
A number Of great foreign plays fol-
lowed--by Ibsen, Sudermann, Maeter-
inck, Victor Hugo and Others In all
70 performances were given, and the
average receipts were 500 rubles (said to
be unusually large for Russia). Consid-
ering the great financial and artistic
obstacles which the movers in this en-
terprise had to overcome, the record of
the first year is excellent The public
Willingly patronized the Free theater.
and, ct all events, there remains the
fact that a new private theater has been
established which subordinates all CON

glide by against the tide as if drawn
by some invisible bowline, with a
hundred strong arms pulling it. Her
sails untitled, her streamers dropping,
she had neither side wheel nor stern
wheel; still she moved on stately, in
serene triumph, as with her own life.
But I knew that on the other side of
the ship, hidden beneath the great
bulk that swan so majestically, there
was little toilsome steam tug, with a
heart of fire and arms of iron, that
was tugging it bravely on; and l
knew that if the little steam tug I'M

would wallow and roll about and drift

Quoted personal examination of one

used tobacco in one or both of these
ways. OF these he found that in for
ty-f five cases the normal acuteness Of
vision was diminished to a greater or

pairment was very serious, the sub
jects mistaking red for brown or black,
green for blue or orange and some
times black when the tests were made.
They were also unable to make out
the white spot in the center of black
card. More than half of the one hum
dred and fifty showed persistent con-
traction of both pupils, and this was
the invariable accompaniment of some
