was to supper with Grandmother Kelly last night" Miss Connolly in formed Miss Frizkie, as she threw her self on the couch in the rest room, and of all the fun!" She paused ana her face broke into reminiscent smile She aint my real grandmaW, vou know. She's paws first wife's maw. but us kids has always called her grandmother. She lives way out on the west side and she gets awful sore if one of us youngsters don't go out and take supper and spend the night with her about once in every so often.
 Last night it was my turn and when I got there Grandmother Kelly says to me. Nellie" she says, T asked poor old Grandmaw Getchell to come over tonight and I'd be real obliged if you'd run over to her sons place and fetch her. Like as not that daughter in law of hers'll let her start out by herself and if that poor old thing should fall down l bet shed break some of her bones. They gifts awful brittle, you know, as person gifts older It was funny because Grandmother Kelly ain't more'n a couple of years young CT than Grsndmaw Geachell.
 'I was just a-startin' to pike over and get Grandmaw Getchell when the old lady come hoppin' up the stairs, spry's you please. Grandmother Kel- ly runs to the door Why grandmaw,' she says, did you come all by your self? l don't think you ought to a done it. It ain't safe for you to come all that way alone
 "Grandmaw Getchell just pushes past her and begins talIin' off her hat and cape and throwin' 'em on the chair Quit "grandmawin' me-" she says I'm just as well able to walk three blocks by myself as l ever was, and a good deal more able than some of these slimjacks that'd crack to pieces if they ever hit the side walk
 When we sat down to supper Grand mother Kelly says, just as sweet as could be. "I made some cornbread for supper. grandmaw,' she says, cause I thought it would be easy for you to eat When a persons lost so many of their teeth as what you have know it's kind of hard for 'em to chew tough things
 "Grandmaw Getchell begun to swell up. guess you don't need to be so careful of me and my teeth, Moll Kelly she says. Hard for me to chew? she shorts, shakin' I guess it's whole pile easier for me to chew with my teeth that's just 8 good as they ever was as it is for you, with them shiny store teeth, that makes you sound like an old steamboat whistlin down the river every time you say anything
 Grandmother Kelly came right back at her, smilin' and happy. Well, she says. putting a helpin of creamed chicken on to Grandmaw Getchelrs plate, it does beat all how some folks gets more satisfaction hangin' on to their poor old snags long after they're past their usefulness than to let 'em go comfortable like and get some good boughten ones' Then she hustled

sTIMULANT FOR TAFT MANA
 GERS.

The result of the conventions of the past week has demonstrated several things. prominent of which is that the people of Illinois and Pennsylvania have gotten rid of the Lorimer and Penrose machines, and in doing so supported the candidacy of the oppon- snt of the president and put them selves under the Sims and Finn ma chimes. the latter being the political partner of Matt Quay in the control of Pennsylvania for years. Penrose can give him no points as shown by Sat urday's results 1t was not entirely Roosevelts tour of the state which turned the people to him.
 The showing must be stimulant to the Taft managers to greater efforts instead of giving the insurgents full sway and discrediting their strength The people have been misled by this demagogue. who is profiting from his keen insight in reading men and com munity conditions, and now great pres sure is being brought to bear. through he claim that Taft cannot be elected 1T he is nominated This is the cry or hoOseNHiL men. 10 tDuaAl4puS W al - rant any such remark. or is there half as much chance of Roosevelt being eiected2 There IS no reason 10 believe that Taft would not carry the states Of Illinois and Pennsylvania after se- curing the nomination, for there have been just as severe battles within the party before. and it's success lies in following the choice of the national convention. on the lines of safe and sane constitutional government for the people and by the people. which can not be gained by any such radicalism as Roosevelt is advocating. His aim is twofold. the nomination. or the pre- yention Of Taft from securing the nomination. and he is prepared to dis rupt the party Co gain his end. Many of his best friends are turning from him for this reason. the harmful prin- ciples he advocates and the issues he dodges. His trip of last week through New England inspired little enthus- iasm and the people can see that the Roosevelt of today is not the Roose- welt of four years ago.

 Q.-Does not Luke xvi, 20-31. teach the conscious existence of the soul aft CT death?.
 Answer.-In view of the clear and plain statements of the Bible regard ing the death and destruction of the soul (EZetiel xvii, f Acts iii, 23) and that nowhere in the Bible Is 1t de- .clared that the soul is immortal, but that God only hatch immortality. we are forced to the conclusion that the story of the Rich Man and the Poor Man" is parable and not literal statement of facts. In a, parable the thing said is never the thing meant As in the parable of the Sheep and Goats no one would be so senseless as to say that actual sheep and goats were meant. So in his parable. would any one say that Abraham $ bosom is not literal then he "hell of bosom is not literal than the hell of torment" is not actual. If we take the whole narrative in a literal sense then we are compelled to believe that all of the poor people in the world who have sores and are the companion of dogs will gu straight to Abraham's s bosom at death.
