The Squirrel Problem.

We are satisfied with our affirmative viz:
Ire man goes around the squirrel. and we
rest our case. But replying to the Negative.
II is said that man does not go around
the squirrel because he does not pass all
sides of it. Putting this argument in math-
ematical form, we have:
The man passes all sides of the squirrel
0 times. Therefore. he goes around it
times-i. e. not at ALL
Now suppose case. Let the squirrel go
around the tree the opposite direction and
as fast as the man, then the man in making
one round passes all sides of the squirrel
times and therefore goes times around
the squirrel But this is absurd. since he
mas made but one round. so also the first
conclusion is absurd.-A A. SNOW.

Delivered Over the Corpse o. Devoted
Friend from a Pure MateriaIist
Standpoint.
(By A. Lutterman.)


Kind Friends This is probably the sad
dest hour in our life when We part with
friend whom we dearly love. We do not
mourn because We believe that our departed
friend has passed into state of unhappi-
ness and pain, for We know that death ends
all suffering. Our sadness arises from the
necessity of parting with one so manly and
kind as the one whose remains lie before u.s.
While We regret his loss and miss him in
our daily life, We will not lament the inev-
table Death knows no earthly titles. The
noble and proud must submit as well as the
humble and poor. The wintry frost or
death nips the flower of life, and everything
dies to live again. AS death is both natural
and inevitable, we, as rational beings ought
to regard it calmly.
Man springs up like a tree; at first the
tender plant; then he puts forth buds OF
promise that bloom for a time, but grad
ually fade and pass away. Man, like the
green grass, coaxed by the gentle rain and
spring air, lives for season, but is bleached
by the autumn frost withers away and acts
as fertilizer for the following season. The
universal law of decomposition acts only
upon life that has reached its highest
embodiment and which demands change
One generation passeth away and another
generation cometh. Nature ushers us into
the world without our consent or knowl-
edge, and takes us out again with the same
disregard of our wishes In youth we cling
to life and are terrified at the very thought
of death. Youthful tendency is like green
apple which clings to the branch and cannot
be pucked thence except by breaking the
twg on which it grows. Old age, on the
other hand, has lost its strong attachment to
life. 1t Is like the ripe fruit; you touch "
gently and it drops freely to the ground
The mellow age man sinks into the sleep Of
death as gentle as an infant falls asleep
upon its mothers breast. The tender hand
of death is soothing for the weary 1t stops
all pain; it knows no sigh or sorrow; it
gives peace and overlast;lg rest Death
Is not an enemy or terror or penalty for
existence, we cannot grieve when nature
sin, as some of our Christian friends claim
it Is. Death is as natural as birth and makes
no distinction Whether Christian or non
Christian, whether we believe or not, we
all go the same path of life and sooner or
later the mother earth that nourished us

We will now consign the body of this loved
one to the grave, and while we do so with
reverence and respect all fear is absent
In silence, on the bosom of nature who re-
ceives both the good and the bad, we re-
place her own. Belief to her is no virtue
Unbelief no crime, Whether orthodox or
not, it is all the same to her. The pomp and
pride of life stops here; rank and station
have found their end; social distinctions go
no further; the storms of passion are over
and perfect equality now prevails.
And now, with no shadow of fear, we trust
Mother Earth with perfect confidence and
give back her own, all thai remains OF
this dear affectionate friend and brother.

And thoroughly convinced as We are that
nothing is ever lost from the great store

nature takes again to her great fount of life
the elements she had loaned us for awhile

earthly things vanish and pass away; the

crumblng time, We lock across and see the
other shore and mingle with dust again.
We should shed no tears, except the tears
of gratitude that our friend has been with
us and made this world bettec by his life
upon 1t. He has set good example before
us. He was one who took great pleasure
in the investigation of truth and was a stu
dent of the grand, unchang,ng principles Oh
the Universe. He was free from the blight
of superstition, untarnished by the claims
of priestly creeds and fables His mind
scared high in the realms of nature. No
sacred scripture formed the base of his
faith. BY his example we have a right to
think and believe according to the conscien-
tious conviction. Reason was his only God
Justice his only Bible, and morality his only
religion. He insisted that no one could be
happy unless he made some else happy and
gave freely to others the right 20 think that
he claims for himself, knowing that in the
realms of the mind a chain is hut curse
His sympathies were not confined within
the prison of a creed or dogma but ran out
in the world and over the walls like green
vines, hiding the rude rocks and rusty bars
with perfuming flowers. His life was one OF
usefulness, honesty and true morality His
conduct was squared by the highest princi-
pies of right and justice. He faithfully per
formed all duties bestowed upon him. and
assisted his fellowman as far as circum-
stances would allow. We can pattern after
his good acts with much profit to ourselves,
and can strengthen our good intentions by
often remembering the many g1od deeds he
performed, and of his excellent character.
Sorrowing friends, | know how vain II is
to gild a grief with words. ana vet I want
to take from every grave its fear. Why
should we fear that which comes to us all?

LITTLE STORIES
OF THE STREET

They were on their honeymoon
trip up the sound and weren't well
versed in the nautical colloQuial-
isms. That's why they took 1t so
much to heart-especially the
bride. She blushed a bright red
every time she saw the captain
afterward, and she hasn't learned

They were huddled up close in
the lee of the pilot house, watch

and thinking how nice it was to be
married, etc. Perhaps they were
sitting a bit close, but then 1t
seemed so nice to have their arms
around each other.
The boat was keeping close In
shore, Just a trifle too close
thought the captain, who stood al
most above them. So he called
to the steersman:

It's like pulling teeth to keel
from using the name of this den

That's just what the trouble was
with the dentist and his cook. He
needed her services. So when she
confronted him one day with the
possibility of leaving to seek more

He was paying what he thought
was a good wage-$4.50 a week
and keep. But she was a good
cook and good cooks are difficult
to find. He was sure his wife
wouldn't approve of paying more,
but he didn't relish the idea OF
trying out a new cook any better
than he thought he'd relish a new
domestic COOKING.
So it came to be understood
between the dentist and the cook
that her official salary should re-
main at $3.50, but that in reality
lit would be $3.50, the master of
the house paying the additional 81
on the q. t.
Now when the cook made her
