All He Did.

He made a speech in language bold
That echoed to the sky.
Just what he meant to do he told
If they would let him try.
And expectation brightly shone
On every listeners face.
They said, Just let that man alone;
He's bound to win the race."
And at the finish Of a year
The friends whom he had won
Looked back with care DER his career
To see what he had done.
Investigation most exact
Enabled them to reach
The solemn and praiseworthy fact
That he had made a speech.

DEATH RESULT OF EVOLUTION.
Lower Organisms Come to Their End
Only a. Victims Of Accident.

Death is not universal accompani'
ment OF life, writes Prof. Charles 8.
Minot in the Popular Science Month
ly. In the lower organisms death
does not occur as a natural and neces-
sary result of life. Death with them
is purely the result of an accident,
some external cause. Natural death
is a thing which has been acquired
in the process Of evolution. Why
should 1t have been acquired?
You will, l think, readily answer
this question II you hold that the
views which have been bringing
before you have been well defended.
by saying that 1t is due to differentia-
ton, that when the cells acquire the
additional faculty of passing beyond
the simple stage of the more compli-
Gated organization, they lose some
thing of their vitality, something OF
their possibilities of perpetuation; and.
as the organization in the process OF
evolution becomes higher and higher.
this necessity for change becomes
more and more imperative. But 1t In
wolves the end. Differentiation leads
up, as its inevitable conclusion. to
death. Death is the price we are
obliged to pay for our organization.

The celebration by Supreme Court
Justice Harlan of the both anniversary

how he was first infected with the
golf microbe.
As a weekend guest of Senator
Newlands he drove over with party
of guests to the links, where the sena-

to take a club and begin the game.

remark about 1t being a foolish sub
