town asked him to lay aside poll.

the potatoes in the garden. He
agreed to do it. After digging for
a few minute he went into the
house and said be had found coin.
He washed it off and it proved to
be silver quarter. He put it in
his jeans and went back to work
Presently he went to the house
again and said he had

Death M1thout Hone.

The lesson taught by the last
hours of Czolgosz should not be
lost upon the world. He expired
like one who sinks in mid-ooean
without a sail in sight. How bar
rem ofreal happiness must be the
life of one who denies the existence
of. God. defies all government,
and cultivates the belief that he
can without moral guilt, take the
life of fellow being merely he
cause that fellow being is admins.
tering for a little while the author
ity conferred upon him by his
countrymen How can he delude
himself with the belief that he is
living upon a more exalted plane
than ordinary people?
Consider the perennial joys of
the gray haired patriarch who
learned in youth that 1.-THE fear of
God is the beginning of wisdom, !"
who has met life's responsibilities
with a prayer for light TO see his
duty and courage to perform it, and
who approaches the grave "like one
who wraps the drapery of his
couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams" Consider the
life of such one, aud compare it
with the career of one who lives in
constant rebellion against nature
and in constant antagonism to So
oiety, and then epds life as lone
ly traveller would turn from de.
serted house out into dark and
starless night.
Compare the sweet contentment
of one who accepts life's Successes
and reverses with the sentiment of
the psalmist: "The Lord is my
Shepherd; L shall not want. He
maketh me to lie down in green
pastures; He leadeth me beside the
still waters. ~ n Yea, though
walk through the valley of the
shadow of death. L will fear no
evil: For thou art with me; Thy
rod and thy staff they comfort me. I"
Compare this with the lot of one
who curses the Creator and His
creatures, and then swears, back at
the echo of his blaephemy.-The
Commoner.

The Failing or in the Vote OF
Ohio.

Cincinnati, o., Nov. With
almost half the official returns from
the lightweight counties in Ohio
received, it is estimated that the
total vote may be 100000 less than
for governor two years ago, when
92O,872 votes were cast, and almost
quarter of a million less than for
President last year, when the total
vote of Ohio was 1,O49,121.
Notwithstanding the increase in
population during the past thir.
teen years, the total vote will like
ly be much less than for President
in 1883, when it was 81 ,941, and
probably less than has been oast
for Governor since that time, with
single exception.
