Immortality.
From the Pittsburg Press.

From the Pittsburg Press.
 At one of the greatest universities in this country-Harvard-a series of lec- lures has been endowed and is now in process of being given on the subject of "Immortallty." It Is said that 1t is a sad sight Distinguished authorities in various branches of scientific knowledge have come and talked to large audiences of men and women with anxious tense faces, and in all that the learned men have said there is very little, if any, hope of immortality.
 Is that really sad, or does it just prove that the learned men do not know
 No one accepts the verdict of science upon the things that are outside of its domain. It can tell us what family in the fauna of the ancient geological world the present horse comes from, and it can estimate for us the number of light years that our little earth Is distant from the nearest star. But it cannot, by searching, find out God. Its views of Him are of about as much importance as are the fire-fys impressions of man. In short. it can only know the knowable.
 There are men and women all around us who have faith in immortality which is to them the realest thing in the world. Is science sure they are wrong? Herbert Spencer as he was about to die began to admit that possibly, after all, they were right. Duty and morals have never been adequately explained save upon the God and immortality hypothesis.

AFRICAN SLAVE SHIP.
Eyewitness Tells of Pathetic Scenes
 Girls Among Victims.

H. W. Nevinson in Harper's Magazine.
 The slaves on deck regarded the scene with almost complete apathy. Some of the men leaned against the bulwark and silently watched the point of the island as we passed. The women hardly stirred from their places. They were occupied with their babies as usual or lay about in the unbroken wretchedness of despair Two girls of about 15 or 16 years. evidently sis ters. whom I had before noticed for a certain pathetic beauty, now sat hud- dled together, hand in hand, quietly crying They were just the kind of girls that the planters select for their concubines, and I have little doubt they are the concubines of planters now. But they cried because they feared they would be separated when they came to land In the confusion of casting anchor stood by them unobserved, and in a low voice asked them few questions in Umbundu, which had crammed for the purpose. The answers were brief, in sobbing whispers; sometimes by gestures only. The conversation ran like this:
 Why are you here?"
 We were sold to the white men," Did you come of your own free will?"
 Of course not
 Where did you come from?"
 From Bihe."
 Are you slaves or not?"
 "Of course we are slaves!"
 Would you like to go back?"
 The delicate little brown hands were stretched out, palm downwards, and the crying began afresh.
 That night the slaves were left on board, but next morning (June ID when I went down to the pier about 9 o'clock found them being landed in two great lighters. When they reached their plantation (which would usually be on the same day or the next, for the island is only thirty-fve miles long by fifteen broad), they would be given day or two for rest. and then the daily round of labor would begin. For them there are no more journey ings till that last short passage when their dead bodies are lashed to poles and carried out to be flung away in the forest.

ONE ACTOR HE CAN OWN.
David Warfield Tender and Most Con-
 siderate of Actors.

David Warfield is so tender and con- siderate in the part of Herr Von Barwig in "The Music Master that many people find themselves wondering what he is like in real life It is pleasant to know that MT. Warfield is as good hearted as the old music master himself, without being so easily imposed on. An instance Of this is remembered by young actor who was in the company with MT. War field in the old Casino days. The young actor-whose name is known to all play goers now as that of a rising star-was playing small part fin one of the musi- cal reviews which were a feature of the Casino eight or nine years ago. He had only line or two to speak. but in one scene 1t was his duty to make an elab- crate bow to the prima donna as she en- tered through palace arch in the cen ter In making this obeisance the young actor was for the moment more promi- nent than anyone else on the stage. On the opening night when he made his bow he was mortified to hear several snickers in the audience. He knew, therefore, that he was not quite so dig nfied and impressive as he would have desired
 After the last curtain as the young fel- low was on his way to the dressing room rather disconsolate. Mir. Warfield stepped up to him. and placing his hand kindly on his shoulder. whispered: Didn't go exactly right did 1t? Pretty near, though. Come over here into my dress ing room. where we can be alone. and we will try 1t over together.''
 The young fellow, rather overcome by one of the principals taking so much trouble with an actor who was little more than a super, went delightedly to the dressing room There. for half an hour, he and MT. Warfield gravely bowed to each other, with the experienced actor giving points to the novice in just as gentle manner as he speaks now in ''rhe Music Master" The next night the young fellow bowed so we'll that the stage manager complimented him after the scene. The young actor. now a star. remarked to MT Belasco a day or two ago: David Warfield can have any, thing I've got. He is one of natures noblemen." The young star Is not the only person who says that by . great many.

Obituary.

On December 2, 1905, the angel
Of death winged its way to earth
and paused at the home Of Mrs. f.
Mills, claiming as Its own the soul
Of their beloved and only daughter,
aged II years, II months and "a
days, who was called upon to
quietly lay down the cares Of a
worldly life and abide in the silent
halls Of death. AS the sun stopped
toward the amber west, bringing
the close Of that sad Sabbath day,
with sorrewing hearts the friends
and ncighbors gathered around
her dying bed to administer to her
last wishes, and whenaii was done
that human hands could do, she
gently leaned on the unseen hand
Of Him1who said, $50 | am with
you always, even unto the end" "
and reclining, like John the be-
loved, on Jesus bosom she quietly
fell asleep. RI
In the serene stiffness which
lowered Ger the home ID that sad
hour we seemed to hear the same
voice speak forth the consoling
words, as Ger Jairus' daughter OF
old, "She Is not dead, but Sleep
eth" How sad that one, SO young,
In the MONDAY Of life, should be
called away. Yet III the midst Of
life We are also In death. His

From Goodland.

A very pleasant surprise party
was given DR.. Adams, last Sum
day, by the Goodland ladies', the
occasion being the Dr.'s birthday.
On that day he passed the sixty
seventh milestone Of life's Jour-
ney. Guests to the number of
twenty-four gathered, bringing
their dinner, which was already
prepared, and the collation. was
spread in the dining room, where
thirty happy souls sat down and
partook Of the good things of this
life, not forgetting to thank the DR..
for his manifold kindness to his
neighbors in sickness, in health,
in time of trouble and when all
goes well.
DR.. Adams doses our bodies and
feeds our souls, never wearying,
never asking any return. The
good he has done, and is still do
ing, will live long after he ceases
to have birthdays on earth. May
he live long and may his "evening
time be light" PAULINE.

who taught us to pray "Thy will

Her stay on earth, though brief,
was not in vain. Her kindly dis
position won for her an innumer-
able host of friends; with kind
word and pleasant smile she greet

her. God in His infinite wisdom
saw fit to call from our midst a
loving associate, whom we shall
know no more, yet long will she
continue to linger in our memory,
as the sunbeam on the wave. To
live in the hearts we leave behind
Is not to die. Weep not, dear loved
ones, as those who have no hope

For this purpose we can recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
always proves beneficial. In cases
OF Group 1t should be given as soon

The people raise most Of their
vegetables instead of shipping
from the north. We raise two
crops Of Irish potatoes and large
quantities of sweet potatoes.
There are some green oak leaves
yet and the range is good so the
people have not yet begun to feed
their cattle. There is good mast
here and the hogs look the finest
I ever saw; the wolves catch them
very often. We are expecting a
good time Christmas. There was
