"For No Man Liveth to Himseif, anu No Man Deth to Hmseif'- Beautiful AIegory of the
 Last Dread Day

The man was dying. His landlady, kindly soul. had sent for the vicar or the parish. and when the sick man heard a step on the stairs he stroVe through the agony of almost insur portable pain to unclench his hanoS and smooth his brow As the parsor --suuat-fgured and plainfaced-en tered. the man smiled a twisted smile.
 "Ah, padre, old chap. come to speed the parting guest, eh? I'm afraid I'm not a very promising subject for your ministrations."
 But the clergyman. too, was a man, so wasted no time beating about the bush, but came straight to the point
 No, I'm not here tonight to preach, but--weve known each other some time. and lately I've come to look or you as a friend" -here the man turned his head away and grinned quietly at the cheap wall paper-"how IS It be tween you and your God?"
 The man raised himself in the bed
 Look here,'' he said. "I have lived my life without him and am l now to go to him whom I have defied whin- ing for mercy? I have lived alone and 1 die alone. Do you"
 He fell back in a fresh paroxysm of torture the bedstead quivered like the shaft of a racing screw under the grip of his one hand, while with the other he fiercely motioned his visitor to the door The latter. seeing his presence was, for the moment, useless retired-to spend long hours of the night on his knees in the lonely vic arage agonizing for the soul of one he loved When he called next morning the end had come.
 The long agony was over, and the naked soul lay alone.
 Only vast silence and illimitable space. The man stood erect and cried,
 God God. See me, Know me Throughout my life on earth l have transgressed thy laws, knowing thy will and thy power. Judge me. Cast me to the hell Thou has devised fol me, and try whether through all thy torments the creature will not mock at tne STedlOT. Itere, man, Stdnu before the Almighty for judgment alone!"
 There came no voice, no stirring of the calm, clear depths, but the man was shaken by the question::
 "Art thou alone?"
 Suddenly there came pressing on him from every side presences, faces
 The face of gentle lady, who through all, had loved her boy-the face of stern, gray-haired man, hop ing ever for the son of his body-the sweet face of a brave girl, eating out her heart in lonely, trustful longing for the one she loved-mens faces, full of belief in the bright promise and friendship of old college days-chil. dren's faces-the brown eyes of faith full dogs-these all oppressed him, thronged around him, while through his being swept the words:
 For no man liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself!" Through space the cry rang out:

Elections in Panama Pass OF With.
out Disorder.
Panama, July 1.-THE presidential
elections throughout the isthmus OF
! Panama passed off without disturb
ance.> Senior Don Jose Domingo de
Obaldia, formerly minister to the
United States and acting president
during the absence of DR.. Amador,
was elected president. The support.
ers OF Ricardo Arias, who recently
withdrew his candidacy, decided not
to vote and as consequence no op-
ponent to Senior Obaldia was placed
In nomination. Notwithstanding this,
large number of voters registered
their choice and demonstrated the
overwhelming majority of Senior Obal-
d1a's supporters. From all parts of
the republic news has been received
here that the elections were carried
on in an orderly manner and that
Senior Obaldia received all the votes
cast. .-..
At the conclusion of the ballotting
enthusiastic crowds, headed by band
of music, paraded the streets of Pana-
ma, cheering continuously for the
newly elected president. There ap
peared to be an absolute absence of
i'll feeling between the former sup
porters of Senior Arias and the ad-
herents of Senior Obaldia. Never be-
fore has such friendly spirit been
shown so quickly after an election.

Intends to Touch on All Vital Issues
Of the Campaign, Particularly the

cago Platform. $50
Hot Springs, Va, July 14.-The
writing of the speech Of acceptance Of
William H. Taft, to be delivered on
July 20 in Cincinnati, when he is Off
cially notified of his nomination for
the presidency by the Republican
party, has been begun. Mr.. Taft has,
in a general way, discussed the vari-
GUS matters he will incorporate in his
speech with Republican leaders who
have visited Hot Springs during the
past ten days, but he had not framed
single sentence of the important
document until now.
Mr.. Taft went out upon the golf
links as usual and played eighteen
holes. He proposes to play every day
while at Hot Springs and it is not
likely that anything that he will have
to do will interfere with the game.
II play golf just as I would take
medicine" he said, in referring to his
regular visits to the links.
After he returned from the links he
went to his Office and was closeted
with his secretary, beginning the die
tation of a portion of his speech. The
entire day was not devoted to this
work, as there we're many letters to
receive his personal attention. His
mail now consists of about $50 letters
daily.
One of the most interesting portions
Of the speech of acceptance will be
Mr.. Taft's reference to the injunction
plank of the Republican platform
adopted at Chicago. He will make his
position on that subject very clear, it
is said. The speech will not be long
one, but will touch upon all of the
vital issues of the campaign.

judgment " as Confirmed.
A certain old time justice Of the
peace, Wishing to bring suit against a
citizen, CONSULTED the statutes and
found that suits of such a character
might be brought before any justice
Of the peace.
"Wel. them" thought he, "1'u just
try the case myself"
Straightway he made out q writ
against his adversary and signed it.
On the day set for trial the defendant
appeared with counsel. Both gentle
men not unnaturally objected to the
constitution Of the court.
"Why," demanded the justice, "do
you deny that ! am justice Of the
peace?"
The lawyer would not contest this
point, but argued that such construc-
ton Of the law was against all sense
and reason.
A vigorous alteration ensued, and
then the Judge remarked that not for
the world would he have two gentle
men suppose him governed by any per-
sonal considerations. II will there

Judgment against myself and then

"But the mischief Of it was" said
the Justice, relating the story after

the supreme court it was unanimously
reaffrmed."

The Doq's Tail.

A prominent citizen was on trial
charged with harboring vicious dog.
The attorney for the defense had
been consulting dog expert and had
learned that if a dog holds his tail up
over his back when he barks he is not
angry, while if he holds it straight out
behind him he is in a belligerent, blood
thirsty frame Of mind. Anxious to air
his newly acquired information, the
lawyer began cross questioning the
prosecuting witness thus:
''Now, did you notice the position in
which this dogs tail was held when he
came at you?'
IT did not" said the witness, ''for
that was not the end from which I
anticipated injury. had another end

Indications of Return to Normal Busi-
ness Conditions.
Cleveland, July 14.-Indications are
multiplying in all branches of trade
that a return of normal business con-
ditions is rapidly approaching. Rail-
road managers especially report a de-
cided improvement and sharp de-
mand for cars for the transportation
of all classes of freight, with the pos
sible exception of steel and iron. A
prominent railway official said that
while this branch of business contin-
ued far below normal it no doubt,
largely resulted from the fact that the
railway companies themselves were
not buying material This state of
affairs, however, he added, could not
possibly continue much longer and
the railroads would shortly be COM
PEELED to go into the market and
when they did so the demand would
be sudden as well as heavy.
Grand Chief Engineer Stone Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
said that his reports showed decided
business improvements on the rail-
roads throughout the country.

GREAT SURPRISE IN JAPAN
Caused by Exclusion Plank in Demo-
cratic Platform,

Toxic, July 14.-The news of the
action of the Democratic national con-
vention at Denver, including in it's
platform plank favoring the exclu
sion from the United States of Asiatic
laborers, is taken here to be directed
against Japanese and is causing con-
siderable surprise and displeasure. In
some quarters Indignation is ex
pressed and the declaration is made
that such a course is an infringement
on the treaty rights of Japan and op-
posed to the principle of humanity
that should govern the relations of
nations. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, by those familiar with political
conditions in America, that the ma.
jority of Democrats are not anti-Jap-
anese in sentiment and that the ex-
clus1on clause was Incorporated in
the platform for the purpose of satis-
flying the labor element.

DISCUSS CAMPAIGN PLANS
Hitchcock Will Meet Prominent Re-
pubIicans in New York.

New York, July 14.-Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, who ar
rived here from Washington, will
have number of important confer
ences during his stay in the city. One
of these will be with George r. Shell
don, the treasurer of the national COM
mittee. It is likely that plans for the
coming campaign will be very care
fully gone over by the chairman and
the treasurer at this meeting and at
the same time selection of permanent
headquarters in this city will be made.
Many prominent Republican poll
ticians will meet the chairman during
the next few days and toward the end
of the week Mr.. Hitchcock will go to
Utica for a conference with James S.
Sherman, the Republican candidate
for the vice presidency.

The kinu's Cock Grower.


In the good old time there was an
English court official known as the
kings cock Grower. 1t seems strange
Office. Why did the king require cock
Grower, and why could not the common
barn door variety serve his majesty's
purpose? The reason, as you shall see,
was that the barn door variety cannot
be depended upon for times and hours,
and he has never been persuaded to OBJ
serve Lent. Now, this was pious GUS
tom and religious duty. All through
Lent the kings cock Grower crowed
instead of calling the hours Of the night
in the palace. He began on Ash
Wednesday, when he entered the hall
in which the kings supper was served,
and then crowed the hour in the pres
ence Of the royal party. The meaning
of the custom is obvious. It was only
one Of the many ways in which the
history Of the Christian religion was
brought home to the minds of people
before the reading Of the gospel in the
vernacular. The Office was continued
down to the year 1922.-London Queen.

1.-THE Greatest Widower."


This is said to be the title Of a genu-
inc essay evolved some years ago by a
boy in a Welsh board school,:
"King Henry VIII. was the greatest
widower that ever lived. He was born
at Ammo Domini in the year 1906. He
had $40 wives besides children. The
first was beheaded and executed. The
second was revoked. She never smiled
again. But she said the word Calais
would be found on her heart after her
death. The greatest man In this reign
was Lord Sir Garret Wolsey. He was
sir named the Boy Bachelor. He was
born at the age of Is, unmarried.
Henry Will was succeeded on the
throne by his great-grandmother, the
beautiful and accomplished Mary,
queen of Scots, sometimes known as
the Lady of the Lake!'

HIGH RECORD FOR THE YEAR
Live Hogs Bring 81 Per Hundred
Pounds at CHICAGO.

Chicago, July 14.-The hog market,
which had been steadily advancing
since March, climbed to the high
mark for the year when prime ami
mails sold at 81 hundred pounds.
Scarcity of corn, resulting in a CORE
spending scarcity of hogs, is given as
the reason for the advance, which has
carried the price up from 81 hun
bred early in the year. The market
receipts have fallen behind those of a
year ago and the hogs, too, are said
to be not so heavy. The market went
to 81 last year, but the figure is said
to have been an artificial one and
was followed almost Immediately by
a break to Sc. This year, market ex-
perts say, high prices are likely to
prevail for period of six months or
more to come.

oft, commander Of the marine corps,
at conference with Secretary Of
War Wright urged that the marines
now in Panama be brought back to
this country as soon as possible on

Wright will confer with the navy de-
partment further with a view to early
return of the marines.

ceedings in Harry X. Thaw's applica-
ton for jury trial to determine his
mental condition have been ad.
1o'1rned until the September term of

keepsie.
The agreement to adjourn the pro-
ceedings to September had been en-
tered into by stipulation by District
Attorney Jerome of New York and
counsel for Thaw before the case was
called. When the stipulation was pre-
sented to Judge Mills in court he
said at first that he did not approve
OF the agreement inasmuch as coun-
sci were not agreed as to where Thaw
should remain in the meantime. A
representative of Mr.. Jerome, who was
present finally Joined in the request
that ThaW be remanded to the Pough-
keepsie Jail after Attorney Morschau-
ser had threatened to withdraw from
the agreement and insist upon an i'm
mediate hearing on the main point at
issue. Justice Mills then gave his
approval to the proposed adjustment
and directed that Thaw be remanded
to the custody of the Duchess county
sheriff until Sept. 21, when he will be
again produced before Judge Mills at
White Plains and arguments will be
made on the application for a jury

in the courtroom here and expressed
himself as greatly disappointed when
she did not arrive from New York.
