Strange, strange for thee and ME.
Sadly afar;
Thou safe beyond, above,
meath the star.
Thou where flowers deafness spring,
where they fade;
Thou in Gods Paradise,
l mid the shade.
Thou where each gale breathes balm,
l tempest tossed;
Thou where true JOY is found,
Iwhere It's lost,
Thou counting ages thine,
| not the morrow;
Thou learning more of bliss,
more of sorrow.
Thou in eternal peace,
/ mid earth's strife;
Though where earth hath no name
Iwhere It's life.
Thou without need of hope,
where tbs vain;
Thou with wings dropping light,
l with times chain.
Strange, strange for thee and me,
Loved, loving ever;
Thou by Lifes deathless fount,
near Deaths river.
Thou winning Wisdoms love,
strength to trust;
Thou mid the seraphim,

UTILIZING MURDERERS.

Should They BE Condemned to EN-.
rich Medical Sciencef
All remedies, from castor oil to anti.
septic surgery, are the result Of expert.
mcnt unless discovered by accident. II
experiments are prohibited, medical sci.
ence must remain forever practically at
standstill. Shall the state encourage prog
ress in the increase of knowledge and the
relief of human ills by providing subjects
for experiment in using what is now
wasted or worse than wasted, or shall
the state continue to outlaw such progress
by falling to provide investigators with
proper subjects for experiment?
At the present time the progress of med
ical science is interfered with continually
by the lack of human subjects for expert
mentation. 1t is Of more vital impor-
lance for the state to provide subjects
for accredited Investigators than it Is to
provide our medical colleges with subjects
for dissection in the study Of anatomy.
So long as living subjects are not provid-
ed by the state, study for the discovery Of
relief of human ills is outlawed, just as
the study of anatomy was outlawed when
1t was necessary to rob graveyards In or
der to get subjects for the use Of students
In the QlSSeCIlnR TOOHl.
The modern investigator along these
lines, as a rule, first tries his experiments
on animals, and. II a number Of these
prove successful in fear and trembling he
usually tries them on some hopeless case,
under unfavorable conditions, generally
a poor hospital patient who Is not likely
to have friends to cause trouble In case of
failure. If the patient dies, the secret Is
preserved In the bosom of the investigator
or shared with a few professional broth
rem; IL the experiment Is a success, all the
world rejoices and the discoverer Is writ
ten down in history as benefactor of the
race, which he surely Is.
Nevertheless, progress must be slow
and uncertain IL investigation can only be
carried on under such difficulties which
absolutely forbid all scientific investiga-
ton In many fields. In the meantime
hundreds of thousands of our fellow men
in our own country alone are dying annu-
ally Of diseases that should be under our
control, and all because our investigations
must be confined almost exclusively to
animals.
And yet Is not one human life worth
more than the lives Of many animnls2
Are not the lives of hundreds Of thou
sands of more account than the few score
of murderers whose lives are thrown
away annually for the sake OF vengeance2
We cannot afford to waste a single hui
man life not even the life of a murderer,
because his life may be used to save
countless lives.-American Journal of So

ENGLAND,s QUEEN Is DEAD.

Queen Victoria, the idol Of her own
people. respected and honored by all
people, died at Osborn, at $50 p. m. on
Tuesday the 22nd.
Victoria was born May "a, 1919. She
succeeded her uncle, William ~, to
the throne on June 20, 1887. On June
2S. 1888. she was crowned. In Febru-
ary. 1910, she married his Royal High
ness. Albert, Prince Of SaXe-Coburg
and Gotha. He died on December H.,
1861. Seven children are living as a
result Of this union. In 1877 Victoria
was proclaimed Empress Of India.
The following children, resulting
from the Queens marriage to Albert
are living: Albert Edward, Prince Of
Wales; Alfred Ernest Albert, Duke Of
Saxe-Coburg; Arthur William Patrick
Albert Duke of Connaught; Victoria
Adelaide Maria Louisa, Empress
(Frederick) of Germany; Helena Au-
gusta Victoria, Princess Christian of
Schleswig Holstein; Louise Carolina
Alberta, Marchioness of Lorne, and
Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore, Prin-
cess Henry of Batienberg.
Her devotion to husbands memory
and mother-love for her childen were
crowns brighter than that Of Queen.
She died a. other mortals die, and has
gone into the beyond where earthly
crowns avail not hing, and characters
all. As she was humble here she will
be exalted there.
Her eldest son, now in his 60th year,
will reign as Edward VII. OF late
years he has gained in the esteem Of
right-thinking men, is a man of fine
courage, Of good sense, and his eleva-
ton to the throne should cause no
shock to England or to the other ma
tons of earth.

ale was a foe without hate, friend
without treachery, a soldier without
cruelty and a victim without murmur-

a neighbor without reproach, Christ

his ambition, Frederick without his
tyranny, Napoleon without his selfish

One man sees in Mr.. SwansOn's "cir-
