lnadelity.

Infdeiity is not distinguished for its
modesty. Stone throwing is its pastime.
Its occupation is the undermining and
overthrowing of cherished beliefs and
institutions. Its stock in trade is epithet
and ridicule; it reversss no sanctity; it
blushes ct no vice; 1t follows virtue
afar of, it engages itself unhesitstingly
to destroy what has required years for
construction. REV. A. z Conrad, Con

THE GAME OF LIFE

This life Is like q game of cards. which
mortals have to learn.
Each shuilies, puts ana deals the pack
and each a trump doth turn.
Some bling high card to the top and
some will bring a low,
Some hold a hand quite full of trumps
and some but few can show.
In playing some throw out their trumps,
their winning card TO save,
Some play the king. some play the deuce,
but many play the knave,
Some play for money, some for love and
some for worldly fame.
But not until the LIand's played out can
they count up the game.
When hearts are trumps ne play for love
S and pleasure rules the hour;
No thought of SORROW checks our JOY in
beauty's rosy bower.
We laugh, we dance, sweet verses write,
our cards at random play,
And. while the heart remains on top, our
life's a holiday.
When diamonds chance to rule the pack
the players stake their gold
And. heavy sums are lost and won by
players young and old:
Each one, intent upon the game, doth
watch with eager eye,
That he may see his r.ighbor's cards
and cheat him on the sly. g.
When clubs are trumps look out for war
on ocean or on land,
For awful deeds Of blood are done when
clubs are held In hand.
Then lives are staked instead of gold
and dogs of war are freed,
And sad 1t Is for any land when clubs arc
in the lead.
Last game of all is when the spade is
turned by the hand of time.
He waits for the end of the PLAYERS
game In every age and cline;
No matter how much each one wins OF
how much each may save.
The spade will finish up the game and
dig the players grave.

AS TO MONUMENTS.

Miss Helen Gould, daughter of the late
Jay Gould. who, to a very large extent,
has been giving her time and money to
charitable movements, seems to have
fixed ideas upon the matter of monu-
ments. In writing to a friend recently
Miss Gould said: MY idea is that the
best memorial to those we love is some
thing that will be a benefit to the liv-
ing" There is great deal ca common
sense in what this young lady has to
say on this subject. and there are very
many people who believe 1t infinitely
better to help the living than to wait
until they are gone, and then erect mon
uments over them.
OF course It IS not meant to say that
it is a vain thing to erect monuments
10 commemorate the noble deeds of
those who have achieved greatness, be-
cause the custom keeps alive patriotism
and is an incentive to the young to emu
late the example of those TO whose
memory the shafts are raised. Just as
the deeds of great men are placed upon
the imperishable pages of history, so are
CIcCltu Their memory
may live in the sight of men. Some one
has said that "the really great man
lives in the hearts of the people, and
needs no towering shaft to keep 1t alive"
This is very true, but memory some
times fades away, and the object OF the
monument Is to perpetuate the memory
of, and to honor for all time the men
whore deeds are worthy of remem-
brance.
The idea of Miss Gould to help the
living rather than. TO wait until they
are gone. and then make "a big fuss"
over them is a good one, and does credit
to the big heart OF that charitable young
woman. The idea however, is not to
preclude the erection of monuments
when iustifiable. nor should such a thing
be thought Of for moment
The world has ever felt pride in its
monuments to Its great men, and will
SO continue unto the end Of time. One
can find no more interesting place in all
England than Westminster Abbey,
where towering shafts of rough stone
chisled into beauty rear their heads

IF THERE SHOULD BE NO ELEO.
TION.

In referring to the political situation
should be three tickets in the field this
year and none of them should elect n
majority of the electoral college, the
election would be thrown into the pres
ent House of Representatives. Each
State, 1t says. would be entitled to one
vote. and the candidate receiving the
votes of n majority of the States would
be declared elected. The Colorado and
Maryland delegations are n tie, while
North Carolina has three Democrats.
three Republicans and three Populists
I'm the House. Unless there should be
break in party lines the votes of these
States would be cast blank According
to their representation in the Fifty
fourth Congress. the following States
would probably cast their votes for
Mckinley, If the election were thrown
into the House, thinks the Sun: Cali
fornia, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine
Massachusetts. Michigan, Minnesota
Missouri. Montana, Nebraska, New
Hampshire. New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon. Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island. South Dakota,
Utah, Vermont. Washington, West Vir-
ginia. Wisconsin and Wyoming. This
is total of thirty votes, or seven more
than majority. The Democratic can
didate would receive the votes of eleven
States only, while the Populists would
control but one vote, that of Nevada.
1t will be seen then that with three
tickets In the field and the election
thrown in the House, there would be
no chance for the Democratic candidate.
