MOTHER OF LEO
WOLF is DEAD
Wife of Hammond Mer-
chant to Leave Hospital
Next snaaay

Death last week ended all plans
which Leo Wolf of the Lion store in
Hammond and his mother at Frank
fort-on the Main IN Germany had
made for her visit to this country In
the spring. She was buried a week
ago today, having died on the previous
Wednesday after illness of only
three days. A cablegram informed Mr..
Wolf that her death was due to pneu-
monia.
The mother. who was a widow and
69 years old, looked forward with
great expectations of making the trip
across the Atlantic and visiting her
four sons in this country. She is also
survived by two daughters, who lived
near her In Frankfort.
On the first of this month Mr.. Wolf
sent his customary monthly letter to
his mother. He spoke of their plans
for her trip, but the letter reached her
home too late Mr.. Wolf on his two
months European trip last year spent
the greater part of his time with his
mother.
While Mr.. VOLTS mother passed
away, his wife, who has been in the
North Chicago hospital for six weeks,
was recovering from a long illness
which grew out of a former operation
for gall stones. She is expected to re-
turn to her Hammond home next Sun
day, but 1t will be some time before
she will be fully restored in health.
She and her husband expect to spend
some time in Florida after the holi-
days. Mrs. Wolf was in the care of DIR.
Carl Beck, who gave her medical treat
ments to avoid a second operation.

EPWORTH
LEAGUE HEARS
HERALD EDITOR

Dan I3. Brummitt editor in chief of
the Epworth Herald, a church periodi-
cal with the largest circulation Of all
similar publications, spoke to 125
young people at a banquet in the Rus
sell street Methodist church last even
ing. The affair was a rally of the
Hammond Epworth league at which
Frank Martin. president of the Ham
mond district, presided. 1t was i'm
mensely successful.
Brummitt spoke with wit and elo-
quence. He told the young people of
the Epworth League to leave Cham
Der street and get onto Broadway"
What he meant >Sy that is shown by
his ILLUSTRATION.
Years ago" said he, "a traction
company In New York City ran an old
horse car on a seven block stretch of
track known as the Chamber street
line They operated this one car to
hold the franchise. but the conductor
didn't know this. The total of a days
collection amounted to seventy cents.
But one day the conductor came in
with an unheard of amount. What
does this mean? he was asked. why,
saw there was nothing doing on
Chamber street so went over on
Broadway he replied.
Get over on Broadway Brunnmitt
! told the banaueters. Make the Epworth
League a social center and center your
interests in 1t. Put life into it. Keep
away from the ruts."
The speaker emphasized the need of
forms of creation in the League. He
said that the society should serve in a
larger way the needs of the comrnuni-
ty.
His talk was well received.

FURNITURE
ANNEX rs
BEAUTIFUL

Comment is made by every visitor
to Hammond on the metropolitan ap-
pearance of the Lion store furniture
annex which at night is the first bright
spot that greets the eyes of newcom-
ers on the Monon, Erie, c. & o., and
Nickle Plate railroads who turn down
Sibley street.
Light radiates from every inch of
glass in the spacious front The win
dow displays are especially attractive
during the holiday season. The Mys-
terious Clock, one of the ornaments of
the building, still remains mystery,
and a very useful one, too.

gin the manufacture of its own armor
during his incumbency. He thinks that
the plant ought to be established In
an inland city where transportation
facilities and the cost of production
problem are satisfactory assets.
Representative Peterson, in whose
district Indiana Harbor is situated, in
sists that in no place in the world can
steel be manufactured at less expense
than at Indiana Harbor. He shares
with Senator Shively the view that IL
the federal government is considering
seriously the practicabiEty of building
an armor plant away from the coast. it
ought to be erected on Indiana soil.
Good Facilities There.
with the excellent harbor and rail
facilities at Indiana Harbor, the fact
that steel may be made at the minimum
cost of production and the ease with
which expert labor may be obtained, it
strikes me that the federal governments
could not make a better selection in
picking out site for the armor fac
tory" said Mr.. Peterson today.
The bill of Senator ShiveIy and that
of Representative Peterson will have
the careful consideration of the COM
mittees on naval affairs soon after they
are introduced.

fore the West Hammond city council

loop is to be used in case the company
fails to get into Hammond and make

Before the Tribunal

Orcus. the high priest of Memphis, came
himself to Antinoe and added his exhor-
tations to infiame the heather portion of
the populace against the Christians. \
general hunt for the followers of tho
Christ was instituted. Heather affairs
were erected before a tribunal whereon
sat a Judge, and all who did not throw
incense into one of the burning braziers.
thus sacrificing to the heathen gods and
abjuring Christianity were put to death
From the rocks of the ravine they
dragged the aged Melanius, and meekly,
yet proudly, did he go to his doom.
a Roman officer of the legion, whom
Aciphron had known when that soldier
had been stationed at Athens, contrived
to shield the former Epcurean, who was
rot yet SO strong in the faith that he
courted martyrdom.
Alethe was brought before the tribunal
and ordered to throw incense into the
brazier. She refused but her courage,
beauty and innocence so worked upon her
stern judge that he ordered her to be
taken to prison and given time to con-
slider.

Into the Solid Wall

Suddenly he looked up and saw, rising
in succession before him, pyramid beyond
pyramid, each towering more loftily than
the other-while all were outtoped in
grandeur by one upon whose summit the
bright moon rested as on a pedestal
AS he rested on his oars and gazed up
at the solemn spectacle of that silent
city. of tombs, there shot past him a
boat in which sat two female figures
muffled by wells.
They landed under the shadow of a
tomb on the banks of the river. and
their boatman swiftly rowed away with
the shallop.
A lively spirit of adventure came upon
Alciphron and, springing to the bank,
he sought to follow the retreating fig
ures. The two figures seemed to dis
appear into the solid side of one Of the
pyramids.
He, following, felt along the solid wall
into which they had seemed to disappear
and touched, apparently, some secret
spring, for the massy stones rolled back
and there appeared before him a door,
beyond which a passage led into the in
terror of the structure.

Falling in Love

This mart afforded the travellers an
opportunity of providing themselves
with some less remarkable clothing
than that in which they had escaped
from the neither world.
The purchases We're paid for with a
small jewel. a casket of which, once
the property of her dead mother, Alethe
had been thoughtful enough to bring
along when she made her escape
Needless to say, in that voyage up
the Nile Alciphron became more and
more in love with his fair companion.
and at length announced that he. too,
would seek out the hermit Melanius
and be received into the communion of
the Christians.
He felt himself hypocrite in so do
ing; for he had no belief In the doctrines
of the new sect-in fact, knew or cared
little about them. But the magnet of
Alethe drew him on, even into hypocrisy.
The grand frauds of the Menphian
priesthood had dispeiled all his trust in
the promises of religion, his heart had
reapsed into its gloom of scepticism,
and to the word Life the only answer
it sent back was Death"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-23
Saved by the Priestess

Hurried along by his unseen guide, he
at length reached the outer air and be-
held once more the upper world He
was standing on an island in Lake
Moeris and the. guide who had led him
there was that same young priestess
whom he had first seen in the great
temple at Memphis at the feast of the
moon.
The exertions of the fair priestess in
delivering Alciphron from. his under
ground captivity had been SO great
that when she reached the upper air
she tainted.
Plucking from a lofty bean tree,
whose flowers stood shining like gold
above the water, one of those large,
followed leaves that serve as cups for
the Hebes of the Nile. Alciphron filled
it from the lake and hurried back with
the cool draft to the fainting priestess.
When at length she revived she
looked around and said where is
he? Where can he be-that venerable
Athenian-that philosopher who .
III eret @laePels exclaimed Alciphron;
"behold him by thy side-the very same
who saw thee steal from under the
veil of the sanctuary, whom thou hast
guided through those labyrinths below,
and who now only awaits thy COM
mand to devote himself through life
and death to thy service"

The Great Secret

Finally he arrived at Memphis. It was
not until that memorable evening"
wher1A he stood before the Pyramids OF
Memphis and beheld them towering
aloft like the watch towers Oh TIME
from whose summit, when about 70
expire, he will look his last--it was not
until that momeot that the great Sc
cret announced In his dream rose again
in all it's inscrutable darkness upon MS
thoughts.
Must man alone, then, perish? Must
minds and hearts be annihilated, whiis
pyramids endure? o. DEATH Death. Ihou
hast written upon these everlasting TAD
lets our awful doom and say. For man
there is no eternal mansion but the

youth and his natural buoyancy oil dls-

LID the Nile

With this thought, tearing himself
away from the allurements of Alexan-
dria, he took boat and, with the Nile
at full flood, journeyed up the river.
The whole valley of the Nile lay COW
cred with it's blood. And as looking
around him he saw in the light of the
setting sun shrines, monuments and
palaces encircled by its waters. he
could almost fancy that he saw the
sinking islands of Atlantis on the last
evening it's towers were above the
waves.
He fingered on the delightful voyage,
visiting all those luxurious and venera-
BILE palaces whose names have been
consecrated by the wonder of ages.
At Sais he was present at the les
tival of lamps and read in the blaze OF
innunmerable lights the sublime words
chiseled on the temple of Neitha: l am
all that has been, that is and that VIII
be- And 10 man my veil has ever
lifted"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-23
Lured by the Priests

He followed the passage and at length
came upon a little chapel where light
was burning before a shrine, and be-
fore that shrine he saw the form of
that priestess of the moon who had SO
captured his soul
Gently, as if life itself depended upon
it, he stole back from that tranquil and
holy scene, glided through the passage
by which he had entered and reached
the outer world. over which the sun was
now beginning to send its rising rays.
The next night found him again at the
pyramid in the Metropolis. feeling, as be-
fore, for the spring of the concealed
door.
1t opened to him and he entered. From
that portal he came not forth again.
When he finally escaped from that un-
derworld to which he was now lured by
the Egyptian priests, 1t was by another
way, and after passing through such
strange and remarkable adventures as
the mystic cult of the Egyptian priest
hood could afford its novitiates.
