Death and Lite
Il PiSion at ChyIstmas
BY CLINTON DANGERFTELD

TN THE early days of men the Lord
dominion over them. One OF these
was Death-the other Life.
The stern front of Life showed
what he really was: unmerciful
exacting, swift to demand obedience
to a thousand laws, swift to punish
with the keen sword OF pain when
those laws were broken.
His eyes were the eyes Of a war
lord his hand as cold as iron-and as
strong.
The tasks he set were many. Few
of these were to the liking OF the chill
dren OF men, though some thinkers
perceived that out of these heavy
tasks came strength, also that II one
wrestled with them stoutly one might
even master Life himself and compel
him to graciousness.
Now the other power-Death-was
a woman.
Tall she was, but so perfectly
formed that her height was no blem-
ish. Sleepy-eyed she was, but her
slow, sweet smile was so infinitely
tender and lovely that in the midst Of
their tasks men stopped to gaze on
her as she passed.
At last one of the young men fol-
lowed her. She spoke to him-her
voice being that unspeakable music
which not even violin can outsing-
and the young man returned into the
fields of Life no more.
Then a little child, weary of flower
gathering, pulled at her garments
hem, and all the workers held their
breath, waiting to see what Death
would do; for Life had painted her in
very evil colors.
But Death lifted the child and laid
her on her own deep bosom and sang
to her.
As she sang the child slept. and an
exquisite smile fingered on its lips, as
though it's visions were very fair.
Then Death held out the child that
the workers might see, and cried;
"Oh, ye who labor, beset with un-
ending toll, see ye how l have blessed
the child? Never more shall the heat
of summer vex her, nor the cold of
winter! | have made her deaf to sor-
row and unmoved by the vibrations ye
call joy. Forever shall her brow go
unwripkled, and because she hath
chosen me | will give her the key to
Heavens immortal gates"
And worker cried:
"Ye have blessed the child because
she was your chosen one?"
The cry was question.
Said Death dreamily
"As gave the child peace, so would
I give it to all who come to me
trusting me wholly"
Looking out across the blazing
fields she stretched her rounded arms
and cried "Ye are all mine! Lover
of souls anu Il"
And with one accord they threw
down their tools and followed Ler into
a far land, beyond the domain of Life.
Now Life was vexed exceedingly by
the unfinished task. He went straight
The Colorado statesman., 1909-12-18

way to the Lord and complained how
Death had led away part Of his work
ers.
And the Lord sent great white
angel unto the remainder and forbade
unto Death until they could serve Life
no longer.
For the Lord knew that the stern
dominion of Life must be. for the sake
of the men he hoped to complete.
But only few, a very few, of the
children of men obeyed the angel. Let
Death but pass the toilers, and her
beauty was so great they continued to
desert their posts and follow after
her.
Then Life cried unto the Lord with
a great voice:
Death seduces my servants!"
And the Lord said:
Deal with Death as thou wilt"
Therefore Life seized on Death and
cut away her perfumed locks, and put
on her a painted mask, most hideous
to behold. And he sealed the lips OF
Death, saying, BE thou dumb. and be
thou no longer known as woman"
With this he cast over Deaths won
derful form a black mantle, like a pail,
and on 1t Life painted:
This is the King of Terrors."
Then he sent Death forth. and there
after whenever she came near the
workers they fed from her and cried
aloud unto Life:
Matters not how hard thy tasks, oh
h,,t
from this frightful DEATH"
And Life said unto the Lord:
Have | not done well?"
And he answered in exceeding sor-
row:
Needs must thy work on Death
stand. And this because of the weak
ness of men who were seduced by her
beauty and who needed not my an
gels voice. Yet very differently had
l planned for my people. For in the
beginning l set the loveliness of Death
plainly before them, that they might
endure their tasks happily, knowing
how sweet the end would be. But
they have defeated my wisdom. On
their own heads be it,"
And Life went his way, satisfied.
Thereafter, when a child or man be-
came useless to him he cast 1t into
the arms of Death, because its task
was finished.
And the soul of Death sang to the
soul of the mortal given her, though
her lips were dumb. and she blessed 1t
with an infinite blessing and bore 1t
away.
But the toilers mourned greatly that
Death should have dominion over one
of their number, and they turned the
more desperately to Life, who smiled
sternly and was content.

A Christmas Hymn.

o Christ, upon whose natal morn
Rejoicing angels sang.
When Ger the blue Judean hills
Their heavenly anthems rang!
o Christ, to whom with gifts from far
Came shepherd. sage and king,
Our choicest gifts on this glad morn.
Our hearts. we humbly bring!
Grant us to follow Thee in love,
Nor from Thy path to stray,
Thy blessed feet have gone before
And glorifed the way.
We JON the angel choirs that sing
This happy morn again,
GLORY to God, the Lord Most High.
Goodwill and peace to men!"

Sonora Anabal Cruz. wife Of the chilian
Minister in Washington. recently made a
few criticisms Of social life at the capi-
tai which would work reform II the
leaders pondered The Sonora. after sew
eral years spent in an industrious effort
to know American women. finds the op-
poriunities afforded at teas and rectp-
tions and such affairs are about as un-
satisfactory for the purpose as proni-
enading the streets would be. To have
a conversation with any one seems out
Of the question during the season, and
10 cali after the season implies de-
gree Of intimacy which no foreign woman
IS willing 10 assume unless specially
encouraged 10 do So Sonora Cruz finds
the passing glimpse OF American women
so attractive that she would like 70 be

the foreign corps in Washington the
same easy social intercourse exists which
marks their life at home. It does appear
strange that Americans cannot see the

ed easily. The digestion Of the child
depends upon their perfect cleanliness.
After being used they should be filled
with cold water to which little soda
or borax should be added. They then
should be washed in hot water and
soap and cleansed by means Of bot
tie brush. After this the bottles as
well as the other utensils should be-
boiled They may be boiled just before
filling them, but they must be cold
when they receive the milk. The rub
ber nipples that were attached to q
long rubber or glass tube are no longer
used. for il is impossible to keep them
clean. The best nipple for use is one
which has a round, bulbous end. A
child can hold this more easily IN its
mouth. The milk should flow from the
bottle drop by drop and not in a steady
stream, as some people think.
In giving the bottle 20 the child he
should be held comfortably in the arms
and not held in too reclining posi-
ton, as then II canot swallow easily.
Every mother should have several OF
the little cases for the bottle made OF
swansdown flannel. These are put
around the bottle to keep It warm.
They are effective. but they must be
made so that they may be washed
easily.

The automobile is a great invention and
an excellent mode of conveyance. But for
real health value it does not compare
with the once popular and now discarded

pleasure and health in country tours on

"scorching" fever and rode in a fashion
that was dangerous 10 themselves and to
