DEATH.

What Il the optimist's thought
on Deathf That is a subject that
should be Interesting and also
helpful.
Perhaps the earliest accounts
of death that most men in a
Christian land get hold of Il that
account in Genesis, so direct, 50
matter of fact, and, on first
thought, so apparently pessimis-
tie. i refer To those verses
"And all the days that Adam
lived were $50 years, and he died;
and all the days of Seth were
912 years, and he diedi and all
the days of MethusaIeh were sos
years, and he died"
At the end of all of them that
grim, blank waIl-"and he died"
If enc should look not further
into the matter than this one
might regard Omar's view of il
as the correct Onei
lis but Tent where takes his one days
rest
A Sultan 10 the realm Of death addrsst.
But optimism bids US remember
that the some day" the short
span of life that must ensue be-
fore they can write land he died.
after our names, Is not given uS
for rest, but for work, for op-
portunity, for fame, for love, for
laughter, for happiness and Joy.
Those three words which, In
one aspect, seem like a knell to
hope, "and he died. can, IL con-
sIdered rightly, be turned iato
food for hope. II the Old pagHns
could find compensation In death,
how much more should we of the
Christian world. II WIS Anti
planes, who antedated Socrates

Be not grieyod above Measure FOR thy de-
ceased Friends They are not dead but
have only finished that Journey which il was

The one thing that impresses
itself upon you when you reRd
of the old fellows In the Bible
whose brief biography ends, as
all biographies end, with "aad he
died. Is the InexOrabIeness of the
fact of death. And YET, although
we have this fact hammered into
us time aud again, the thing IL
hut a word 40 us. Out nf eur
own experience we cannot begin
TO fathOm the real meaning of IL.
As Won Humboldt Says "The
sight ef the dying does little.
what one sees of them Is merely

scIOusness Is all taat we see.
whether this he sO-aow aud

10 know, and what can never be
known until IL Is experienced.
Fer the two best essays ON this
subject two prizes OF S. each will
be awarded. The essays will Hp-

They should be sent In not later

cember 8, in Eugene Walters power
full play The Easiest Way" No
play in recent years has created SO
much discussion as THE Easiest

scented at the Belasco theater in New
York to crowded houses. Miss
STAIRS Interpretation of the character
of Laura Murdoch won her unstinted
praise and perhaps no actress on the
American stage is so we'll qualified by
physical gifts and temperament to in
terpret that difficult role. 1.-The Easiest
Way" depicts that aspect of New York
life which is concerned with the trag-
edy of those women who are so we'd
ded to luxury that they will pay any
price for its enjoyment. The pro-
duction here is made upon the same
elaborate scale that characterized it's
New York presentations.

evidently the slogan in the mind OF
the author while writing The Girl in

is found in the record breaking tri-
umphs achieved by this frolicsome
play in Chicago where it ran for six
months; Boston where it repeated its
Chicago success; and at the present
time in all the principal cities of the
country. 'Char,ey's Aunt" held the
palm as the funniest play of the age

Railway Car Wheels.

Everybody knows how the wheels OF

axle. They IRE shrunl. on-that is, pat
so that they are practically a solid
piece with the axle. These cars go
around curves. and it will be observed
that the outer rail covers IL great deal
more ground than the inner one. so
that to turn the curves and finish even
the outside wheel must Of necessity
travel considerably faster than the in
ner one. Yet it is fixed solidly to the
axle and cannot make a fraction of
revolution more than the other one,
yet the axle remains intact. and the
curves are passed with untiring regu
larity.
