one that bids us pause, that any
word may be a "good-by." All
the words of greeting in the Ian
guage are known. But no man
knows what word may serve him
for good-by."
Words of hope, love, hate, ieal-
ousy, fear, bitterness, despair
words that are fit to be said and
words that the moment after one
would perhaps give worlds to re-
that may sweeten mem
cries for all time and words that
may turn them to instruments to
scourge us-these and all other
words that pass current in the
speech of men and women may be
their last "good-by. "-Chicago In

QUARANTINE FOR LIFE.

Sometimes, the writer believes,
that we, of the present age an gen.
GRAFTON, instead of advancing in
tellectually and becoming more
civilized, are worse than dormant
yea, silently drifting backward in
intelligence to a par with the dark
days of witchcraft and its like,
when innocent souls were put to
torture and even death because
they were suspected of being a
witch and possessed of the devil.
How much different is it in the
case of Miss Rose Boersma, who
resides on a dairy farm south of
Chicago9 The enlightening press
dispatches inform us that this mis-
abused creature is being guarded
by city detective and may be
quarantined for life, according to
health department officials, al
though she is in perfect health.
She is ACCUSED of being a car
rier of the disease (typhoid) germs
and it is alleged" that she is d.
rectly responsible for three deaths
and fifty cases in the south divis-
ion of the city, although she is free
from any i'll effects and sound of
body and mind.
What barbarious state of mind
tor her poor, misguided persecu-
tors to dwell in. 1t is such like
that makes thinking person feel
that there is about as much de-
mand for missionaries at home as
there is in the lands abroad, where
the inhabitants likewise cling to
ancient customs and beliefs.
Think of the idea-poor Rose
Boersma being the medium for the
spreading of disease which she
does not suffer. What a ridicu-
lous state of mind her neighbors
must be in. And they would i'm
prison this poor girl for a reason
not as justihable as the witches in
ancient times were disposed Of
for those were days of ignorance
from which we are supposed to
have profited in the march of civil
lization.
