So while we range this mundane sphere
We may not stop and say that here
Well pitch our tent and here abide
For borne upon the rushing tide

Forever onward, day by day
Now here, now there, at fate's behest,
We find on earth no place of rest
SO take this lesson to your heart
Alike from good and i'll we part.

And earth is warm, and skies are fair
Enjoy the blessing while you may,
Nor leave it, till another day
For near in mind this truth, alas
Twill not abide, twill surely pass
If sorrow to your lot shall fall
1t surely will, it comes to all.
When earth seems cold and skies are

Be rot dismayed, this too, will pass,
For as the sunshine and the shade
Pursue each other DER the glade
AS darkness follows after day,
And morning chases night away

DEAD MAN COMES TO LIFE.
Chicago Resident, Thought to Have
Been Murdered, Shows Up.

CHICAGO, H.. June 29.-Coming as
from the dead after he had been re-
ported as murdered, and after his wife
had been held by the police several
days on suspicion of knowing some-
thing Of her husbands disappearance,
Stefan Bizak has unexpectedly re-
turned te his old home.
When body weighted with railroad
iron was taken out of the Illinois and
Michigan canal May 8, it was identified
by Mrs. Biszak as that of her husband,
who had disappeared some time be-
fore Finally she was placed under
arrest, as apparently the body was
that of man who had been murdered.
The most rigid investigation by the
police, covering several days, failed to
establish any evidence to connect the
woman with the murder, and as she
showed that she was in error as to her
first identification, she was released.
Now the return of Biszak, who says
he has been to St. Paul, but refuses
to discuss his case further, deepens the
mystery surrounding the body found
in the canal. The police believe there
is no doubt the man was murdered,
but the body and it's secret have been
buried in the potter's field
Mrs Bszak was startled when Bis
Yak appeared at the door, and for a
moment refused to believe he was her
missing husband. Then there was an
|affectionate greeting and an explana-
ton.
