Los Angeles, CAL, has a 'pole
committee" whose business it is to
see that poles for wires are erected
at suitable places, and that the small

erected In the public streets. A re-

number is that several companies run
their lines on the same poles.

At the annual convention OF the

in Detroit, DR.. Henry Franklin Staples
of Cleveland made strong plea for
cremation instead OF burial of the
dead. Sanitation" said DR.. Staples,
''has done much in the last few years
to protect the healthy person from the
sick, but 1t has done little or nothing
to shield ,him from the dead; In fact,
we have refrigerated in this respect.
Many of the ancient races took better
care of their dead, TO prevent the
spreading Of disease, than we do in
this enlightened age. We are still
burying our dead In superficial graves,
where they may spread disease to all
mankind Cremation is far better
mode Of disposal of the dead than In
humation. 1t prevents the spread Of
contagious diseases by the destruction

THEcRlsls.

Once to every man or nation comes
the moment to decide,
In the strife OF truth with falsehood.
~ for the good or evil side;
Z Some great cause, Gods new Mes
siah, offering each the bloom or
blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand,
and the sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt
that darkness and that light.
Careless seems the great Avenger;
history's pages but record
One great death grapple in the dark
ness twixt old systems and the
Word;
Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong
forever on the throne
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
and behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
keeping watch above his own.
Then to side with truth is noble when
we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
and tbs prosperous to be Just,
Then It Is the brave man choose, while
the coward stands aside,
Doubling in his abject spirit, till his
Lord is crucified.
And the multitude make virtue Of the
faith they had denied.
For humanity sweeps onward: where
today the martyr stands,
On the morrow crouches Judas with
the silver in his hands;
Far In the front the cross stands
ready, and the cracking fagots
burn,
While the hooting mob of yesterday
in silent awe return
To CLEAN up the scattered ashes into
history's golden urn.
New occasions teach new duties;
time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still. and onward,
who would keep abreast with
truth;
Lo, before us CLEAN her camp fires!
We ourselves must pilgrims be.
Launch our Mayfower, and steer
bodily through the desperate win
ter sea,
Nor attempt the futures portal with
the past's blood-rusted key.
james Russell Lowell.

women used rougher methods than
they have yet used. II was only afteg
the greatest difficulty that the women

STAYS WIFE AND
BABE WITH AN AK

MANCEEONA, Mich, March 30
Creeping into the bedroom where his
wife and little daughter were sleep
ing. George HOPPER, 80 years old, de-
capitated both victims with an axe and
then fed to dense woods. He was
captured later and an investigation OF
his sanity will be made.
Noticing no activity about the house
yesterday morning neighbors became
suspicious and caused an investiga-
ton. The room in which the crime
WIS committed presented a sickening
sight. The bed was saturated with
blood. No preparation for breakfast
had been made and everything points
to the fact that HOPPER arose early
in the morning and made all arrange
ments for the murder. Mrs. HOPPER
was about 20 years old, while the
daughter was - months old.
The Hoopfers lived about five miles
southwest OF this place. AS far as is
known they experienced no domestic
troubles. an attack on the mind OF the
husband being the only theory ad.
vanced by neighbors.
