was unfastened. and a search resulted
in the discovery of the body as above

natural causes.

may sue for the insurance. Just before
the recess of the supreme court began
attorneys for the first Mrs. Snyder asked
the court to dismiss an appeal by the
supreme ruling from the decision or the
Tennessee courts favorable to Mrs. Annie
Snyder The answer of the court IS eN-
pected when it reconvenes Nov. y.
The first Mrs Snyder claims the insuf-
ance because the policy was made out TO
her as beneficiary, and for years both be-
fore and after her divorce, from Snyder,
she paid the assessments. During the lat
ter wears she claims that the assessments
were paid on an understanding with the
then supreme Mystic ruler that she PROB
ably would sbe entitled to the insurance
if she continued payment of the assess
ments.
The order contends that under its con-
Stituton and bylaws the first Mrs. SnN-
der ceased to have an interest in the
policy when she was divorced and the
inadveitence and mistake of its officer
could not have affected the contract
However, the supreme court of Tennes-
see held that under the circumstances
the order was estopped from denying the
claim

DIR. WEST ADDRESSES
 TWO LARGE CONVENTIONS.
Among the Prominent Speakers in
 British Columbia Early This Month.

Friends learn from the west that Rev. Dr. Lester L. West, formerly pas tor of the Second Congressional church, recently addressed the inter national convention of the Y. M. C. A. at Breakers, in British Columbia, and Ia Christian Endeavor convention at Victoria, on Possessed and Being Pos- sessed. He said: Life is divided into two parts object and environment. :. It consists of a two-fold process, possess ing and being pOSSeSSor, the progress of success and the process of failure, the process of victory and the process of defeat, the process of achievement and the process of surrender, and the last is the supreme thing. Man is being with an unsuitable hunger and a bundle of desires and wants No matter how much of anything he gets, he is never satisfied and is continually crying for more. We were taught to get, and this has been the chief of our pursuits ever since Man is not healthy being un- til he commences to strive to possess, for he was made to possess. It is woven into the very flores of our being.
 But in the process of getting it must be considered what We are striving to get We should strive after something that is lasting, not merely things that are ephemeraL A young man by years of apprenticeship learns a trade. Once gained, it is impossible to stamp this knowledge out of him. unless his whole being is destroyed. He can be readily rid Of his money or his property; they are things which do not abide
 Taking the step higher up. and it can be seen what it means to possess cul- ture and character and wisdom. No matter how much men try, when once this has slowly been woven into their being it cannot be disposed of.
 To get the things that one is striving for is defeat, the highest success that ends in success is supreme failure. The only success is in defeat; and the only victory is in surrender; the only gain is loss, and the only achievement fn life is the loss of life. It is a great thing to gather things and to possess them. and how much greater is it to be possessed. An artist iS never, consid- cred great until he is possessed by art itself-until art has him in her grasp. When one forgets himself and is only the instrument of the vocation which he follows. then. and only then, comes success

Early Piety Not Always the
 Cause of Badness

In Paris there lived a great physlciass of world wide renown who proved 10 tha world that falling hair is caused py microbes.
 Dr Sagerbund proved that badness is directly due to these pernicious ana persistent microbes. He proved 10 every physician on earth that these ln- visible yet vociferous little devils dug and burrowed into the hair root and finally devoured the hair bulb. This or course destroyed the vitality of the hair which fell out and caused thin ming of the hair and finally badness.
 Inasmuch as it is an accepted fact that badness, falling hair and dan . druff are caused by q germ. doesn't 1t stand to reason that the only way to prevent such calamities is to Kill the gerIns2
 And doesn't it stand to reason that the only way to kill these germs Is to use Parisian Sage. which The Lee x Osgood Go. have so much faith in that they guarantee 1t to cure dandrun, falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks or money back?
 Parisian Sage is a delightful hair tonic and is pleasant to use. It is not sticky or greasy, and contains only those ingredients that will surely bene- fit.
 It is now sold by druggists all over America, and by The Lee & Osgood Co for 50 cents a large bottle. It is used extensively by women who desire luxuriant hair with radiant luster The girl with the Auburn hair is on every package.
