Of healing by members of the Chris

but the green OF spring and the bloom
of summer are natures answer to his
yearning cry.
And shall man be less blessed than
nature In garnering the treasures OF
the year! Is that evil genius, that the
encients beheld standing at the door
OF the new year, forever to give lethe
to drink that he may wander blindly
into the unknown way, shorn OF the
best boons and talismans Of the past?
All, the poets who try life and love
know better.
Each new year II leaf of our loves

1t falls. but quick another rose leaf
grows:
So is the flower from year to year the
same,
But riches. for the dead leaves feed the
flame.
Thus they read the riddle and the
"million-centuried" sweetness that
goes with 1t to-day. Neither is man
drugged by any god or genius but the
one within him, that he may tell no
tales" and carry no tokens from the
departing year. What he tells to
cheer or depress his comrades, what
he carries to help or hinder both them
and himself. is in the power Of his
own open-eyed choice. Perhaps the
best hint that was ever offered to
guide him is the brief and pointed one
given by the sage, when he writes,
"A man should make life and nature
happier to us, or he had better never
been born" 1t is the one pre-eminent.

1t would fill all the newspapers in the

maxims of this nature which the times
offer should demand place in their col

ers are trying to demoralize them and
send some of the cheerful and cheer
ing-up people over to his Satanic
majesty, where no doubt they are
needed since the dry season set in.
II there be such Satanic monarch,
probably he loves the cheerful sinner
just as heaven must love the cheerful
saint. Yet the logic of life Is against
him. The smile is not legitimately the
DEVILS sign. 1t is the pessimist who
is playing into his hands, treating his
sovereignty as If 1t could overthrow
heavens and all the power of the
Eternal Goodness. To act as If they
had faith worth smiling over would
seem to be the altitude of men who
believed in sovereign of love and
omnipotence rather than one of NAL
evidence and black arts, and 1t may
be that the Christian world is at last
finding 1t out. Certainly the Gospel
evangel Rejoice. rejoice!" is sound

spurred on by the new thought rhap-

stinctively to the lips:

Good or bad, the years come out of
the bosom of the infinite bearing some
boon from the eternal for man to lay
hold OF II he will. To choose the per-
manent from out the mutable and
fieeting is the life secret they carry,
and how much hangs upon the choice
eternity alone can tell. There are
watchmen at the gates who assure US
that each year brings gifts peculiar to
itself, and one year or one world does
not restore the lost offerings of the
other. Long after we have passed
away out Of mems sight and out of
mems memory the world with some

Secretary Buttrick of the South ern Educational Association has notified Prof. J. N. Tillman, presi- dent of the University of Arkansas, that the society has set aside S3ooo annually to be used in employing a professor of secondary education for the University. The position has been rendered to Prof. B. w. Torreyson, superintendent of the Little Rock public schools, and he has the matter under advisement.
 Col. w. G. Vincenhellar, who was yesterday disposed of as direc- tor of the state experimental sta tions. denies that he resigned, but claims to have been removed by members of the board who have been fighting him since he was first appointed. He says that they had said some time ago that they would get him out as soon as they secured majority of the board. Col. Vincenhellar says that he de- manded that the board bring charges against him, if they had any, so he could have standing in court and show they were groundless, but no charges were ever made. Col. Vincenhellar points with pride to the many times the auditing committee has gone over his books and found them correct in every particular. He has been ill Arkansas for g years, and in that time held some of the most important positions in the state. C. H. Adams, who has been appointed in his place, is the state entomologist, and will serve until next June, when his success or will be appointed.

New York, May 19.-Fleeing from
plague-stricken Venezuela, Eduardo DE
Erase, a coffee planter, and reputed
muIti-millionaire, came to his death in
the Hotel Victoria early Tuesday
through taking what he believed to be
a harmless medicine procured from a
nearby drug store. His wife, who also
took some of the medicine, is in a SER
ious condition at their apartments in
the hotel, and the remainder Of the
party Of wealthy refugees is without
q directing head. Whether they now
will continue their journey to Europe,
where they had planned to remain I'M
til the danger period in Venezuela has
passed is yet to be determined.
Following the death of Mr.. De Era
SO, an investigation was made by di-
rection Of the coroner. AS result 1t
was determined that the fatal draught
undoubtedly had been prepared
through an error on the part Of the
drug dispenser. The prescription called
for aspertina. At the drug store the
bottles containing aspertina and
atrophinc are kept side by side. 1t is
believed that the clerk got the wrong
bottle and used atrophinc instead of
aspertina in filling the prescription.
