Somebody Has To Sin


BY ID
Some minds Nature makes as low as the clod
To genius some she eXalts;
And all the long way betwixt the extremes,
AT every footstep she hats
The human brain she diversies.
In size and shape and degree;
Making none alike to think alike,
But all OF some use to be.
Thus infinitely different all men she Makes
To incline them different ways;
To search out the infinite secrets she hides,
From won d ring human gaze;
Infinitely varied men too, she designs,
In the sense of right and wrong;
In character, conduct, will and resolve,
The weak she makes and the strong.
No levels there in Natures designs,
All is mountain, hill and plain;
Nor either without the other can be-
Likewise. the structure of brain;
No level of thought, or faith belief,
Can apply to human life
Each positive force has its negative,
Each peace its conquest and strife.
Thus nature her equilibrium holds,
And sway Ger the human race;
Maintaining her balance twiXt right and wrong
AS they fight each other for place;
Essential is sin to the growth of man.
Or else. it would never be;
For, ever It's sin inspireth the good
To fight for supremacy.
Since Nature then made the good and bad,
And our beings placed them within,
Then somebody has to do the right,
And somebody has to sin;
For ever these forces in at war,
For mastery of his will;
Some more thin their share of good perform,
Some more than their share of i'll.
IF chance I be good and if you be bad
| certainly owe you much
For not only your share but mine you bear
OF sin, that holds you in clutch;
To such as are good thro breeding and ease,
And in soil superior grow.
No credit to you is particularly due,
For it only happened so.

BY DIR. j. b. WILSON.

Since he good are good at expense of sin,
Most virtue is piously slammed;
And hard the heart in its virtue secure
That would damn the already damned;
May be in the life that is next to come,
Conditions will be reversed;
The sinful here take the place of the good.
The good the place of the cursed
For Nature evolves thro' constant change,
And disprOportion her rule;
In the place of the wisest man today,
Tomorrow may stand the fool;
And those who We borne the brunt of the sim
Which Nature here has decreed
Best deserve chance in the other life
And of their fralties be freed
Then since it be plain the good and the bad
In the human soil is sOwn;
And unequal the sin imposed upon some,
BY never choice of their own,
A pity show We, for the vicious all,
In their degradation bound;
Who, burdened for life with your share of sin,
Grovel ever close to the ground
Oh. We women, pure as the spotless snow,
And chastc the crystal ice,
Your Puritan poise is only maintained
BY your S sisters shame and vice.
And We holy and wise, forget we not,
As We in prayer and song,
That you re only able to do the right,
Because somebody does the wrong.
Somebody's daughters and somebody's sons
The sins of the future must bear,
And the chances are the child of your heart,
Will carry more than his share;
If for Natures sins, you believe, at last,
Into endless pain, he'll be hurled,
You re the cruellest demon that ever lived
To have brought him into the world
Oh men Oh women misguided in thought
With reason come We and sup;
No need from the future have men to be saw
But here to be lifted up;
LIES battle betwixt the right and the wron!
In which neither one can win
For while somebody has to do the good
Still somebody has to sin.

DEAD FOR WEEKS
in HIS LONE CABIN
lSnecia1 to The Sentinel. ]

Leadville, Colo, Apr. 16.-Last
night, after laying dead in his cabin
for six weeks, the remains of Her
man Nitschke, an aged miner and
prospector, were brought to this city
from near the summit of Mount Ell
bert, 20 miles west of here.
The old man had lived in his cab
in for many winters and last fall
came to town and secured enough
supplies to last him until spring.
After returning to his little, lone
ly home the snow soon became so
deep on the mountain that he was
unable to again go to town. The lit
tie light appearing through his win
dow could he seen from the village
of Twin Lake each night.
About March the villagers no.
ticed that the lights no longer ap-
peared and they at once presumed
that the old man had died. The
snow, however. prevented a rescue
party from starting for the cabin be-
fore the first part of this week. A
party of eight men then started from
Twin Lakes and reached the place
early yesterday morning and found
the old man cold in death and his
body frozen.

Helena, Mont, Apr. ia spe-

says that the flood waters from the
Hauser Lake dam are passing that
point without infiicting any great
damage, the charge of dynamite ex-
ploded yesterday having deepened
the channel of the river carrying the
flow. The water rose to height no
greater than during the customary
spring floods, the low lying lands be-
tween Cascade and Great Falls hav-
ing allowed the waters to spread.
The Boston & Montana smelter
will suffer no damage.
At Craig the situation is one of
seriousness. The town is practically
destroyed and its hundred inhabi-
tants have formed a temporary ref
uge on one of the side hills.
One small residence has clogged
the entrance to the Great Northern
tunnel below town. The railroad
track has been torn up for stretches
several miles in length.
1t is impossible to estimate the
loss to the ranchmen, many of whose
herds. buildings and hay stacks have
been swept away.
