road is deserted, for the men are
away in the field and the children

barns with their plastered walls

Thus, one feels not only the
homely beauty of the road and

of the place through its human as

beauty, as suddenly and unrelent-
ing as it created ii. 1t is the ia
talism of this planets life, reveling
care-feree in the beauties of ma
ture one day, we we may the next
| day be overwhelmed in death by
natures most pitiless, destructive
agent, the earthquakes and tidal

No doubt the simple and narrow
minded will tell you that these up
heavals of nature are a visitation
/ of the creator on his creatures, far
be it from So the plan of the
Creator was to create first and
/ then evolve from the crude to the
perfect; the planet we call Earth,
being one of the infant spheres
iamong the myriad of planets in
space, has been going through sue
cessive stages of evolution during
cons of time, to reach a finished
state when all life on its surface
will cease. This may then be
what the scriptures refers to as
! "the end of the world" but which
in reality spells the completion OF
natures plan of evolution; when
Mother Earth will take its place
among the older planets as dead
and burnt out sphere, then, and
not until then, will life in all its
forms cease on its surface. But
the consummation of this will not
take place until many more cons OF
time have passed.
In conclusion l will venture to
say that life in all it's forms, has
been and will always be to the end
of time on this sphere, a mere iota
in the unfathomable plans of Ma
ture. Fraii humanity one of the
forms of life which is the result OF

Down where Calabria, the South
ernmost province of the peninsula
of Italy, stretches as an arm toward
the island of Sicily, the waters of
the strait of Messina flow TRANQUILITY
from the Tyrrhenian sea to the Sea
of 1onia, separating as by silver
band, the Italian mainland from the
sugarbowl of Europe, Sicily. In di-
rect contrast to the peaceful waters
of this strait, there rises on its ST.
Gillian shores that ominous and for
bidding mountain, the volcano Mt.
Etna, the rumbling and fire-belching
disturber of Sicily. Time and again
within the history of man, has this
vent-hole in the earth's surface let
loose the gigantic forces within our
planet, and scattered death and
desolation on all the throbbing life
around it. Not only has Mt. Etna
caused destruction in Sicily but has
sent it's subterranean forces under
the silvery waters of the strait to
the province of Calabria, and in
the form of earthquake and tidal
wave repeated the havoc it had
wrought in Sicily, but in even a
more fearful manner
The foregoing is just a word-pic-
ture of Mt. Etna's recent e9tivity,
when, almost without warning, the
coast of Calabria was convulsed by
severe quakes, followed Immediately
by tidal wave 80 feet high, which
completed the destruction already
begun by the earthquake.
The loss of life alone, in this dis
aster, is too awful to contemplate
all the contemplation we are en-
titled to, is, that the thin earth's
crust is all that separates us from
one of natures most fearful and
appalling forces; while in the midst
of life, enjoying the bountiful gifts
of creation, natures hidden infernos
burst forth, unexpected, and with

WHAT IT HAS COST HIM.

Isaac Stephenson, now n United
States Senator from Wisconsin, has
had an absorbing ambition to be re-
turned to the Senate. He IL now
nearly eighty years OF age, aud his
enemies charge that since lac entered
politics in 1853 he has spent 81 100,
600 In the effort to gain political
prestige. A Madison correspondent
for the New York World says;
1.-THE senator's political experience
has been costly. Outside of the two
senatorial campaigns, his devotion
10 the cause Of LaFOllcttc, now his
enemy, is said to have cost him 81
600 600. He told friend three years
ago that h" had spent 500, ON to
keep II newspaper alive In LaFOl-
lctte's interest. Senator Stephcsou
Is a nnturalized citizen Of this cOun-
try, having been born in New Brun-
swick. In his native province he
was II Zimmerman, farmer and bank
or, and went from there to Wiscon-
sin in lSij, engaging In the lumber
business at Escanaba, Mich, with
headquarters at Milwaukee. His
political career was begun at Marin,
cite, his present home, soon after
his removal there in 1853, and wher,
he held several local offices. Tho
II 800, 900 or more that he Is said Ia
have spent in futhering his political
interests does not account for any
expenses incurred in launching his
craft on the small waters Of Marin
cite, nor for his appearance at the
state capital, to which ne came IL
1866, serving as legislator for tive
years. The more extensive disburse
ments began with his candidacy FOL
congress. For tho fortune expended
he sat In the Forty-eighth, Forty
ninth and Fiftieth congresses, goinl
to the senate In 1907, to fill out thu
unexpired term Of Senator Spooner
