IMMORTALITY.
One Theory of the Condition That
Comes After Death

One Theory of tho Condition That
Comes After Death.
Our life does not begin with birth,
nor does it conclude with death. 1t is
only a section Of the development OF
mankind before and after us. We ex-
listed before we We're born, and we
reap what the factors OF our being
have sown. So our life leaves its after
effects, and they will be what we have
made them.
The truth Is that while there Is no
immortality in the sense in which most
religions hold il if we accept their doc
trines In their literal meaning, condi-
tons in life are such in many respects,
as IL these doctrines We're true. For.
while our bodily existence is wiped out
with all its physiological functions. the
essential part OF our own being (the
thoughts themselves remain. and thus
our immortality-not as a concrete in
dividual and bodily incarnation. but
our soul, our character, the impulses
which we have given in life to others,
our aspirations and most character
istic features-cannot he wiped out.
A man who keeps this thought in his
mind, either inruitiveiy by realizing the
power and justice Of the religious in
stinct or by having fathomed the prob
lem philosophically in its very depths,
will not live for the present moment
but in consideration of the after eff
fects which his life leaves on the
world And l would say that one Of
the best tests for right action in crit
ical situation is for man to ask him
self. If I had passed away from this
life what would I wish that l had done
In this emergency? l am confident
that the answer given to this question
would help us in the most difficult cir
cumstances to find the right solution.

LETTER IS RECEIVED
Mailed When Writer Was Lit
tie School Girl.

Newark. n. J.. Feb. 13.-Mrs. Eliza
beth B. Nicholas, of II Fulton street,
called at the Newark pOstoffice and
claimed a letter addressed to Miss Eliz-
abeth Garthwaite. which was her
maiden name. It was mailed from
New Orleans, by Miss Fannie Brittin
a cousin, in 1854, but only recently
was received in Newark in a batch of
incoming mail. The envelope is worn
and torn at the edges, but the New Or
leans postmark of Dec. so. 1854 and
the address are plain. Where the let
ter has been for more than half a CEN
fury the Newark postal authorities
have been unable to ascertain. There
are no marks on the envelope to indi-
cate it has done any extensive travel
ing other than from New Orleans to
Newark.
Miss Brittin the writer, is now a res
ident Of Ell Paso, Tex. Her father
was Edward Brittin of New Orleans.
She and Mrs. Nicholas still keep up a
correspondence.

rich Currency Measure
Through House.
TO USE EVERY INFLUENCE.

Washington, Feb. 13-It is authori-
tatively announced that the Aldrich
currency bill is to have the backing of
the President Some of the friends of
the measure went to the White House
to say to the President that unless he
exerted his influence in the House in
favor of the bill it would likely fail.
They received the information that
when the bill reached the House, the
President would send for his friends
among the Republican Representa-

In giving currency to the Presi-

White House on the errand say he
does not regard the Aldrich bill as
all that could be desired, but does be
lieve it will be that bill or nothing at
this session. The pressure is to be
put on" said the men who made the
call. Every possible influence is to
be brought to bear to force the bill

ROOSEVELT TO AID DRUGGISTS LESSON
Labels That Mean What They
Say Are Being Placed
On Bottles.
"CATCH" LABELS BARRED.

Labels. free from guile are rapidly
appearing on the bottles on the
shelves in the drug stores Of Rich

operating in enforcing the pure food

''One day Cold cure" can no longer
excite the fond hopes of cold suffer
ers, as the law holds that evidence
must be brought forward TO support
the truthfulness of the label, and the
druggists believe 1t will be much
simpler and more satisfactory to cross
out " "one day" Soothing must come
off syrup"
The truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth goes hereafter.

examples of veracity to the hayward

the respect for the views of the pres

ADVERTISING.
ono of the Many MarveIs of This
Progressive Age.

Progressive Age.
Among the many marvels Of this
marvellous age there is none more
striking and none more characteristic
than the art of advertising as develCS-
ed in modern times. We talk much
about the wonders of the telephone
and the monograph, about the aston
ishing expansion OF railroads and teleg
raphy, but here we have an industry
as remarkable for its extension and as
wide and varied in its applications as
anything of mans device in any era of
the worlds history When there is
brought into consideration the vast
amount of money expended in adver-
Using in our day, the novel and in
genius methods employed and the ex
pert skill and artistic talent engaged in
the business, one may begin TO realize
what a wide field has been opened here
for some Of the highest and most use
full forms of human endeavor.
With all it's abuses-and they are not
a few-it remains true that advertising
is one of the greatest of popular edu-
Gators and one of the chief promoters
and there are yet many ways in which
1t may be extended to the still greater
benefit of the world. No good reason
exists why the churches, the Sunday
schools, the missionary societies and
other agencies of good should not ad-
vertiss far more than they do and thus
add to the mem bership and their power
in the community. To set their ad-
vantages aims and benefits before the
public in a proper way and form would
involve no loss OF dignity or prestige,
while it would almost certainly widen
their influence
The time must come, too, when the
absurd code which prohibits physicians
and other professional classes from ad-
vertising themselves must be abolished.
There is nothing but a sentiment to
prevent 1t and a very weak sentiment
at that. 1t should be no more mira
dig for a physician or a lawyer to seek
patients or clients through the medium
of print than it is for teachers, insur-
ance men, real estate dealers or the
members of any other honorable trade
or calling Weekly.

to fight it. The relatives in Indian

The immediate surviving relatives are
two brothers, Major Jacob II. Burbank,
