Fate

Two shall be born, The whole wide world
apart
And speak in different tongues, and have
no thought
Each of the Others being-end have no
heed;
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying
death,
And, ali unconsiously, shape every act
To this one end
That, one day, ont of darkness, they shall
meet,
And read Life's meaning in each others
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way of
life,
SO nearly side by side that should one
turn
Ever so little space, to right or left,
They needs must stand acknowledged,
face to face;
And yet, with wistful eyes that never
meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp,
and lips
Calling i'm vain TO ears that never hear,
They seek each other all their weary days
And die unsatisfied. And that is Fate.

Eugene HaySleit Seriously I0ilr6d

\ message received from Mrs.
Howell d. Young, of Washington,
conveys the news that Eugene
Hayslett aged Is, son of c. C..
Hayslett, formerly of Berryville,
was accidentally shot on Monday
June 81, near Columbus, Miss.
Young Hayslett. with party
of friends, rowed up the Tombig-
bee river to hunt and fish, and
about two miles from town large
crane was seen. Young Haysltt,
banked the boat and went ashore
to shoot the crane, but it flew away
before he had a chance to. As he
stepped back into boat the gun,
which was cooked, was discharged
the entire load entiring his right
side and lung.
The wounded boy bravely di-
rected his companions how to reach
the nearest telephone station and
dictated the message calling for the
ambulance and physicians, as well
as sending a message to his parents
; to meet him at the hospital.
At last accounts, the boy was
critically i'll in the Columbus Hos
pital, but the physicians hope for
his recovery.

THE CREATIVE POWER.
"Seienee," Said Lord Kelvin, Affirm
the Existence of a God."

Science" Said Lord Kelvin, "AfFirrns
the Existence of a Ged."
cannot NJ all accept the view OF
those who assert that ether is atomic.
since all my own Investigations have
clearly demonstrated 10 me that its
structure Is totally nonatomic. In fact.
Il has no structure I'm the accepted
meaning of the term. Neither can |
accept the view OF those who assert
that science neither athrms nor denies
the existence of Creator. ON the con
trary. science most positively asserts
the existence of = creative power We
cannot escape from this conclusion
when we study the physique and the
dynamic of living beings and dead
nature which we see around Us.
Modern Psychologists again firmly de
clare that there is something else out
side SravitatiOn and the physical and
chemical forces. This something is a
vital principle. Science places before
US an unknown. In thinking of this
unknown we all become a agnoSticS. We
only know God i'm his works. but we
are forced 10y science TO believe with
perfect confidence in other than phys
ical. dynamic oy electrical forces.
There Is no middle term between abSo-
lutte scientific belief in creative power
and the acceptance of the theory of a
haphazard coming together Of atoms.
Here scientific thought IS forced 10 nc
cept the notion Of 4 creative power.
Forty years ago I asked the great Lie
big during 4 walk in the country il
he believed that grass and flowers grew
solely as the result Of chemical force.
He replied. Not any more than be-
lieve that chemical force can translate

Gently has come iu,J .1.-,s,iou Of the
papers relating 10 the negotiations be-
tween one of the Carroll family and
the government of the United states

the famous portrait of WaSh.ngton by
Gilbert Stuart. This was the portrait
which in the war Of 1872 was rescued
from the burning White House by the
intrepid Dolly Madison. Stuart paint
cd this portrait In PHILADELPHIA in
1875, when in the height OF his glory.
He but recently had returned from
London. where he had counted among
his subjects King George ". the
Prince of Wales, Mrs SiddonS and
many other celebrities, and he had the
temerity 10 ask congress for $500 for
his painting Of the first patriot.
The solOnS were aghast At such a
price. promptly refused To pay It and
intimated that any one SO unpatriotic
might as we'll go back and paint kings.
for he was not suited TO paint patriots.
But Daniel Carroll of Duddngton
threw himself in the breach. urged the
claim Of the artist and put before the
congress what figure they would cut
before the eyes Of the world if they
failed 70 meet an obligation incurred.
Carroll offered TO pay the money him
self If the government gave him prom

whole of the $500 which Stuart re.

rBia Labor Vote in the District and
Unions Are Favorable to Anybody
Who Can Encompass the Defeat Of
the Venerable Statesman.
Hearst News Service.

Danville, ILL.,, August Without
blare of trumphets or roll of drums,
but by gumshoe methods, the labor
forces of the country are. preparing
silently and steathily to center their
political battle in this congressional
district. For weeks the political lieu
tenants of President Samuel Gompers,
of the American Federation of Labor,
have infested this district, making in
quiries, conducting investigations and
analyzing the political atmosphere.
AS a result. it is declared that the
signs are propituous and that another
warfare will be waged, with the OBJ
ject of RELOCATING uncle Joe" Can
non to private life.
The labor union politicians are not
particular as to Cannon's successor
They would prefer a candidate favor
able to unionism, but would willingly
accept a foe of labor, if thereby
Speaker Cannon could be made a
permanent resident of Danville. In
the eyes of Gompers, the Danville
statesman is the biggest barnacle on
the ship of state, and the command
has gone forth that he must be re-
moved at all cost.
There is a big labor vote in this
district, and the union men declare
that the outlook for the defeat of Can
non is more favorable than it ever
was before. Republican political
leaders, however, scott at the idea
that Cannon can possibly be deafeated,
and assert that Uncle Joe is safe in
his berth as long as he will accept it,
and that nothing short of death or
voluntary retirement can remove him
from the political arena.

vanishing point.
The Manless Club, was formed three
years ago in Alton, the charter men,
bers being fourteen prominent women
of the town, all married. Since that
time eight of the members have been
visited by the stork, and in every in
stance the bird has left a girl baby.
Branches of the club have been Or
ganized in many cities and in states as
far distant as Colorado and California.
1T is alleged that among the members
of these subordinate lodges the stork'
is just as partial to female. children,
and it is feared that if the idea is car
ried farther, posterity will consist of
the female sex only.

London, August APPROPRIATIONS are
being made by the British society for
the Advancement of Science for the
greatest meeting in it's history next
month, when scientists from all over
the world will be present. The occa-
sion will mark the jubilee or semi-cen-
tennial anniversary of the announce
ment of Charles Darwin's famous the
cries. Francis Darwin, son of the great
naturalist and himself man of re-
nown in scientific circles, will preside
at the session.
Professor Darwin will reiterate in
his inaugural address the contention
that plants are endowed with inteili-
gence, for which he was criticised by
co-scientists years go. Darwin illus
trates his theory chiefly by climbing
plants and the response of plants to
the influence Of light, deducing there
from that plants have memory and so
develop habits. He will particularly
describe the hop and bryony plants,
showing that their intelligence and
memory are hardly less than those of
the lowest animals.
