When I got on the car handed the
conductor the lead dollar and as
sumed an expression like that of d
Baptist missionary just home from d
long stay in Zambesi.
The conductor was in a hurry, just
as I had anticipated. He counted out
the change quickly and I crammed It
into my pocket with great celebrity.
I got off the car at my corner and
went into the drug store and bought
a magazine. tending the druggist a

a death-picture atmosphere that they
are afraid to go to bed at night! l
believe that the picture suggested to
the child's mind in the prayer, IF 1
should die before l wake" has done
infinite harm. What does the child
know about death? He cannot COM
prehend what to him seems the hor-
ror, the awfulness of it.
The death picture instilled into the
young mind during its plastic years
(when it's imagination is SO active
by the parents and the Church has
undoubtedly been responsible for
vast amount of suffering and has
tended to prejudice a multitude of
people against their Creator. There
is something so absolutely incompat-
ible between the "father-mother" idea
of the love of God, which we try to
instil into our children, and the hor-

Some people always seem to be pre-
pairing for death. This mental atti-
tude-that, not knowing what may
happen, we should be prepared for
the end when it comes-this living
in the shadow of DEATH is demoraliz-
ing. 1t is a skeleton that rises up to
trouble many continually. They can
not really enjoy themselves because
of the perpetual death fear.
I know several men who, since they
passed middle life, have been con-
stantly preparing for the end, getting
their affairs in order, making their
wills, deciding how their business is
to be managed after they are gone.
And they are constantly referring to
death, talking about it, holding the
death picture in the minds of their
families like a perpetual moving pic
ture show.
Think of what a wrong thing it is
for children to be brought up in such

thus yielded up by him was about
twenty thousand dollars.
I'm addition to that, he spoke about
thirty times. appearing in all of the
Northern States east of the Missis-
sippi, excepting those of New Eng
land. He paid every cent of his ex-
penses, even his railroad fare, and he
would accept no remuneration. These
charges and others entailed by his
campaign amounted to about fifteen
thousand dollars. l think l am well
within the facts when 1 say that in
this way Senator Conkling contribut-
ed between thirty thousand and thir-
ty-five thousand dollars in cash, or
its equivalent, to the Garfield presi-

been accused of having entered into
the campaign without any heart and

solable. The mourning that they as
sumed at this time they never again
laid aside and Lady Georgiana habitu-
ally wore dress of the poorest quail
ity and was never again a part OF
the social life in which she had once
been so active. Instead, she and her
husband devoted their lives to works
of charity-first in Rome and then in
London-and Lady Georgiana went
so far in her religious profession as
to enroll in the Third Order of st.
Francis. In England they lived very
simply in a suburb of London and
kept open in the busy section of Lon
don an office and headquarters of their
various philanthropic and religious
interests.

rible idea of death, which the child
is taught to believe is caused by the
same loving God. The two things do
not harmonic, and the child cannot
possibly have that sweet, tender love
for the Being who is responsible for
such a revolving death that he should
have for an ALLOWING Father.
For many centuries the church
taught such a wrong and totally false
idea of death that it helped to de-
yelop a race horror of it. Death is
as natural as birth. 1t is merely
passing through another door on the
life path, only entering another state
of consciousness. The death change
is as natural as the change OF the
caterpillar to the chrysalis, the grub
to the butterfly. 1t Is merely one
more stage of embodiment.
Death is but a covered bridge
That leads from light to light"
For centuries multitudes OF church
people lived under sentence of death
with an uncertain reprieve. They
never seemed to know what moment
they would be called. They lived in
a constant fear of dying. This con-
slant death horror hung over their
eyes like a great black pail, shutting
off joy.

R0bERTSDALE HUNTER
REGISTERS OBJECTION
Once More Louie Roth's
Story Comes Home to
Roost.

Louis Roth has not yet heard the
last of the hunters duck buying scam
dal which originated in his place of
business last week. when it was de-
cided that the old price on ducks
should be maintained for the benefit of
hunters who find it more convenient
to purchase than to shoot their game.
Now comes Henry F. Eggers, vet
eran nimrod of Robertsdale, who says
that he noticed mention of a Will
liam F. Eggers in THE TIMES in connec-
tionA with this matter, and that he
feels confident that the reference was
intended for him (Henry F.) instead of
William.
That it is not guilty conscience
that moves Henry Eggers to speak out
when the hunters honor of William
Eggers was really at stake. is evidenc-
ed by his following words:
You had my name William Eggers
by mistake, but l knew 1T meant me.
l do quite a bit of hunting, but L new
err yet bought a duck that I brought
home. It's all right for some fellows
that know nothing of hunting to say
we fellows buy our ducks at Shelby.
Last Saturday I got FIVE of the incest
mallards you could lay eyes on and /
shot them myself"
