One Soul.

Could any little lamp. though lifted high
Tighten the void abysses of the sky?
Could faint rose leaf blown into the sea
Perfume the oceans of immensely?
Could one chord sound in melody so far
That all space echoed to the farthest star?
And yet your soul amid the infinite
Makes all fragrant harmony of light!

satisfaction in the new crop of 'SunHist'

some time ago and Il London branch Of

as part of the voodoo ceremonial

murder cases occur in civilized coun-

from Il tribe of anthropophagi, becom-

costly blaze, resulting from an electric
light wire in the basement near the
boiler room, occurred shortly after 6
o'clock Saturday evening at the Knost-
man-Petersen furniture factory on East
River street. The highly polished fur
niture made ready fuel for the flames
and it proved a difficult one for the
tiremen to fight. Will Knostman and
w. E, Petersen, the proprietors, had
left the place but few minutes before
the fire was discovered. The blaze
spread with great rapidity and by the
time the firemen arrived, the flames
had gained considerable Roadway anG
the heat and smoke was intense. Il
was several hours before the fire was
, fully eXtinguished. While it is diff

his intense humor an equally intense,
piercing insight into the darkest and
most fearful depths Of human nature,
that no heart would have been strong
