ALL THINGS TO ALL.
(From Baltimore SUM

All things come alike to all;
there is one event to the righteous,
and to the wicked to the good
and to the clean, and to the un-
clean.-Ecclesiastes TX, 9.
/ know not whether the shadow come:
AS a punishment or gift;
| know not whether He wants its
To burden us or to lift.
The only thing that We know full well
Is the fact that amid the light
1t will come down with its bitter spell
/ AS a wind comes in the night.
i know not and | ask not why,
And | take it for worse or best,
That after the cloud in the sombre
sky
The sun sets clear in the West
There seems more burden than We
should bear,
We think as we 90 along;
And we see more shadow and gloom
and care
Than we do of light and song.
We vainly question the soul within
As to why things should be so,
But over the sound of the roaring ain
No finer sound we know.
The best is this, if we take the
gloom
AS we take the light and cheer
1t will bring the song and the bird
and bloom
And Heaven itself more near.
It may be such is the way our faith
And our trust and strength areI
tried
The gloom for me, with its darkling
wings,
And the light on the other side.
1t may be these are the wisest things, !
And we have no right TO ask,
For the light swings back TO the pal
tient life
That has gone on doing its task,
The light comes back, oh, there is
no doubt
And the old, mysterious way
Is measured quite by the need of |
light
We are worthy Of each day
know not, then, why the song doth
cease,
Why the blossoms fade and go;
know not, then, why there is no
peace,
And | do no ask to know.
Tor if shadows fan it is wise theyI
should
And they will not last so long
That they will not lift for the humani
good
That is shining in life's song.
/ know not and ! ask not why,
And l have no doubt that We
Are quite as happy throughout this
life
As we all deserve TO be.

BEDDING

Bedding, June 29-There is likely to be contest over the will of the late Patrick Collins of Pleasant Valley who left an estate of about $5,000 all of which by the terms of the will, is beQueathed to his unmarried daugh. ter Johanna, resident of Bethel. The larger part of the testator's property came to him from his daughter, Mar garet who died about a year ago. She left no will and her estate of about s. 600 passed to her father Shortly afterwards the latter made a will, at the instance of Johanna, it is claimed. and made her his sole heir. There are two other children, Daniel and Mary. The latter is the widow of the late Edward Rowland and has three chill dren, Joseph, Henry and William. As soon as the provisions of the Collins will became known these heirs con- suited on attorney with a view to making a contest. The grounds of it are to be mental incapacity and un- due influence. The late MT. Collins had Bright's disease and efforts will be made to show from the evidence of his neighbors and friends that at the time he made the will his mental powers were noticeably impaired. A hearing on the admission of the will to probate has been appointed for Saturday, July 8, and the protesting nelTS WILL at that IlIQe De HodFQ rom.
 Work has been resumed by Com modore Luttgen on the improvement of the road over Sunset Hill and when these operations are finished the road will have been rebuilt it's entire length. On the upper slope is about half mile of macadam which the Commodore put down three years ago. Last fall he entered upon the job of improving the highway southward from this point by a process of awid- ening and sloping and the putting down of galvanized iron pipes a foot in diameter for drainage purposes. This work is now being extended to the southern slope of the hill. The finishing process will be the applica- tion of heavy coating of gravel which is now being carted on from a deposit that has been discovered on Commodore Luttgen's land. In addi- tion to this job he has started the construction of an entirely new road which starts at the artificial lake on his estate and will be opened out southward through Hopewell woods to meet the public highway not far from the residence of Theron Platt. Its length will be something over a mile This is the second private driveway that Commodore Luttgen has built. the first extending from Sunset Hill northeasterly through his land and that of L. O. Peck to the highway in Dodgintown. Although privately owned this road has been open to the public for light vehicles and furnishes a charming drive. The new layout through Hopewell woods will be even more attractive in summer

Damaging Evidence Against The Author
 Of Absolute Life
Especial from United Press, 1,


 Chicago. June 29-Evelyn Arthur See the Prince charmer" of the Absolute Life, today, faced the guns of the State apparently broken. in spirit The God of Passion" seemed utterly down. cast by yesterdays ruling of Judge See. Mona Rees and Mildred Bridges, on the night of their arrest, might be introduced as evidence.
 With brutal frankness, Police Cap- tain Danner and several reporters out lined the confessions, which they de- clared were made in boastful spirit by See and his high priestesses who exhibit no shame in their statements, declaring those in the absolute life could do no wrong. See's practical admission that Mrs. Stephen Bridges, mother of Mildred Bridges, had been compelled to disrobe herself in one of the cults "purification meetings D came as an added blow to the defense
 Today. See faced another scathing examination. The State has charged openly that See wrote the book. Alb solute Life on Trial,'' to coach the defense's witnesses And to back this up, the State planned, today to in- troduce several letters written by See to Mrs. Stephen Bridges, while he was in jail. instructing her as to her tes- timony and telling what her daughter was to say on the stand. These let ters Mrs. Bridges tore into bits and threw into drain pipe. The jani- tor found them and turned them over to the States attorney.
 The State will claim that Sees con- stant coaching of witnesses is proof of his guilt. If he is acquitted on the charge of contributing to the delin- quency of Mildred Bridges. the state is expected to proceed against him for perjury.
