But one learns as he grows older to reckon upon the presence of death in places where it would be ordinarily un- anticipated and at times when the suddenness of the experience strikes like a knife to the heart. So it comes about that there is no phrase more than this: Tn the midst of life we are in death.'' It is never so far off as to become altogether unfamiliar. It steals in upon us through avenues we had thought barricaded against it. % mother, praying God will save
 Thy sailor, while thy head is how'd,
 His heavy shotted hammock -shroud Drops in his vast and wandering
 grave"
 Life and death, two great mysteries one really no more mystery than the other. For who has measured the heights and depths of living? Who it comes, what it is for, into what it is capable of being developed. what it's hidden resources, what it's ultimate destiny? Death is a different kind of mystery; but both lifa and death are often bafding. bewilderinE, staggering
 That is, they seem thus to us if we have never found the keys to either mystery. Little bits of steel, nctched here and there, open the ponderous doors of otherwise impregnable safes So an idea, a hope. vision, appar ently at the first look insignificant, if cherished and used, swings back at least a little way the doors that guard the mysteries of both living and dying The key to life is made up of two ele- ments. love and service The moment one begins to love and serve, many Of the tangles around human existence vanish. The key to the mystery of death is faith which learns to look the end of 2. long, perhaps weary or parhaps joyous road. On the contrary faith looks upon death as gateway into a larger richer life. No one can reach that realm of ampler existence without passing through this gateway but faith dwels less on the passage which may take but an instant of time than upon the eternity of Joy and fe- ltcity which awaits the redeemed soul Faith voices it's Easter song in the sweet belief of Whittier:
 That opens into light,
 Wherein no child of God can stray
 Far from the Fathers sight"
 Sc if death be not the terminus o1 life. but the beginning of the bes1 hiau U! Alc WHICH we can peESlply con- e5ive it pays to begin and relate ones existence here to ones existence be- yond.
 Prepare to meet thy God" was the sign that the Salvation Army soldiers used to paint on the rocks along the highways.

men of this sort are the ones who get eftenest together. The worst man is not the man who looks the worst or who talks the worst or who seems to have the worst habits, or who has the worst reputation-he is the slick fellow who has repute for honesty and good habits when he has neither; the fel- low who conceals himself with the garb of piety when he is doing things to injure his fellowman-doing things to sap the very foundations of the state.

To Quit Competition

Postmaster General Hitch
cock has announced that after
next January the government
will discontinue the printing Of
stamped envelopes and recon-
mends that the same be done
by the local newspapers in
every town where there is a
newspaper and by special per-
NIT for the towns nearest the
newspaper where a town has
no paper of its own. No large
town will be allowed to have a
monopoly on the printing Of
the envelopes to the detriment
of the smaller newspapers.
"A uniform scale of printing
will be prepared by the post Of
flee department and insisted
upon or the newspaper will not
be sold stamped envelopes for
printing. The scale Of print
ing will be such that a reason
able profit can be made by the
office printing them. The de
partment will also soon make a
ruling that no first class mail
will be allowed transmission
through the mails until it has
a return card written or print
ed thereon. The above means
that the envelope printing bust.
ness will take on a big boom
soon, which is sure to continue
The order relating to the
printing of envelopes is a cor.
rection for an evil of long
standing and against which the
newspapers throughout the
country have fought many
years, for the reason that the
price charged for the envelope
was far less than the stock
could be purchased by printers
and the rate charged was such
that a profit on the printing
could have been made by the
government. Hundreds o.
millions of stamped envelope!
printed by the government are
used annually throughout thu
country and the contemplated
change will be greeted will
pleasure by every printer ant
publisher who has felt the los
of this class of business.

Next Sunday, January 9Th, is
another great day, especially in
the South. 1t is the day SO
years ago when Gen. Andrew
Jackson, in command of the
American army, met Lord Pack
enham, commander of the En-
glish army, at New Orleans, on
the 9th day of January 1915,
where one of the most wonder
full battles in the worlds history
was fought, wonderful for two
reasons: First, for the reason
that the United States and Eng
land had concluded a treaty of
peace three days before the
battle; and Second, because Of
the fatal result of battle. Eng
lands killed was 5000, while
the United States only Z men
killed and 6 wounded.
Had the telegraph been il
use in that dav, all this huma
sacrifice could have been ohvi:
ted and the two na'i,ns coule
have met together as friends
and celebrated the. return of
peace.

Newspaper Best Medium

Advertising mediums was
the chief topic for discussion at
the regular meeting of the
Binghamton On. W Merchants
and Advertisers association
held IN that city a few days
ago.
Concerning the value of the
newspaper, William Mcmahon,
a well-known Advertising man
ager, said in part:
"In my estimation the hand
bill and the rest of its kind
bear much the same relation to
the recognized best means of
publicity as the old-fashioned,
muzzle-loading blunderbuss Of
the past to the rapid-fir maya
zine guns of the present day.
If you were going out cunning
today you wouldn't select a
blunderbuss. Then why, in
hunting up new business, do
you use those same methods?
"You probably want to know
by this time what l consider
the best means of publicity.
To my mind, there's no doubt
about newspaper advertis-
ing.
"It's the most profitable ad-
vertising therefore, the best.
There is no limit to it's business
bringing powers, provided it is
backed up with the right mer-
chandise at the right price. 1t
is the repeating gun of present
day misunderstanding methods.
1t hits hard and fast, and you
get in six, eight, ten shots in
the same time that you were
firing one under the old meth
DDS. The man who cannot af.
ford to advertise can't afford to
waste time in his business.
And if he advertises at all, bis
first and last and main reliance
should be the newspaper"
