Earth Is receding heaven is opening;
I've seen the childrens' faces. I've
been within the gates. No pain, no
valley. It's glorious.
An aged pilot died in Boston As
he was passing out his face brighten
ed; he said: II see a light" The
ones standing by thinking he was de-
lirious said: 1T is the Highland

he said: Il see a light" They said
TT is the Boston light" He answered
mo- It is the light of Glory; let the

Yes, there is more light beyond.
Brightly beams our Fathers mercy
From the light house ever more.
But to us he gives the keeping
OF the lights along the shore
Science marches toward the light
step by step, telling us there is more
beyond. Long ago we knew only the
sun light, then the candle. then a
lamp, now electricity and the Xrays
with which hidden things are brought
to light This only points to the
fact that there is more beyond for
"All things are naked unto the eyes
of him with whom we have to do"
Long ago we had signs, then letters,
then type. Now newspapers, wireless
telegraphy, telephone and monograph.
These are but finger boards pointing
us to that publicity beyond when
What is done in secret will be pro-
claimed from the house tops" Light
Is his garment"
To Jacob the years had been one
hundred and thirty yet "few have been
the days of my pilgrimage" Life is
short" whispered the dying poet.
Sir Walter Scott wept when they
wheeled him in his hbrary-when they
brought him home to die. Why this
longing for more light? Why death?
The answer comes to the soul in the
quiet hours of the night more be-
yond."A still small voice seems to
say prepare to meet thy Cod
There is more beyond and for that
reason Jesus Christ came to suffer, die
and rise again. Yes, we are pill
grims and strangers on the earth.
This is not our home. We are here
but few days and then We depart
o what manner of men ought we to
be?

MOREBEYONO''
PASTOR OF EAST HILL BAPTIST
CHURCH DELIVERED AN IN
TERESTING AND ENLIGHTENING
SERMON TO HIS CoNGREGA-
TON LAST NIGHT.

More Beyond" was the subject of a
sermon by E. E Rice at the East Hill
Baptist church Sunday night He said
in part:
In Cen 47:9 Jacob in answer to a
question asked by Pharoh, said: "The
days of the years of my pilgrimage
are an hundred and thirty years;
few and evil have the days of the
years of nzy life been"
To Jacob the door of memory had
opened; panorama of past events
stood before him. Memory is that
mysterious and hidden link that on
meets the present with the past, with
out which the scenes of childhood and
youth would be buried under the i'm
penetrabie cloud of oblivion. To ia
cob memory had reached back from
that present moment and had flashed
before his life in days gone by.
Sweet Impressions OF our childhood,
Flowers and birds and rocks and
!, streams;
Pleasant haunts along the wild wood,
Long survive our manhood dreams.
These when all the rest have persisted
Are the latest to depart.
For the things that first we cherished
Are the last to leave our hearts
Id HlIH II Hdu De6n OUT yesterday
when he met that one at the well
whom he loved. And like the two
wheels of a chariot they journey. But
now he went about in the world alone
in the streets for she had gone to her
long home. Few have been the days
of my pilgrimage" What YVES true
of him is true of US. I'VE are but
strangers and sojourners as were our
fathers: our DAYS on the earth are
as a shadow" That house is not yours
it is just loaned to you. Your deed is
but a lease: you may be put out at
any time: the key will soon be in
another hand. The poet has well ex-
pressed it,
'Soon the old familiar door
VIII shut us out for ever more.
Farewell house no more our home.
Others in the years to come
Hither homeward will return.
Other feet will tread the stair
Other guests be welcomed there.
And we, whose house as was before
Shall be strangers ever more
Is this all of life? No We are pill
grims. We are going somewhere If
saints we are travelling to a holy
place. Peter said: "As long as / am
in this tabernacle. etc. Knowing that
shortly l must put off my tabernacle"
"A solemn murmer in the soul
Tells of the world to be
As the travellers hear the pillows roll
Before they reach the sea-
God put in the heart of the birds
a nature that speaks to them of a.
land of promise, of sunshine and of
flowers. So before the cold winter
winds began to come in the North.
they turn their faces South soon to
find that God did not lie to them He
has been true TO the birds: He will
be true to US who with a surrendered
will and an obedient faith lay hold of
the promise; for He is faithful who
promised.

SECOND CITY PUMP
BREAKS, AND MANY
FEAR WATER FAMINE

Officials of the city waterworks de-
partment are much worried today over
the breaking Of a second pump at the
river pumping station. This leaves only
one 100000 capacity pump in good
order. while the daily consumption Of
water from the river is 100000 gall
Ions.
The main rod attaching the piston to
the fly wheel broke last night, and Cen
eral Manager Zode Smith said 1t would
take two weeks to repair il. In the
meantime the pump is out Of commits
sion.
Some weeks ago cylinder of the
15.o00,o0o capacity pump cracked. and,
although the pump is still being opcr-
ated. the officials are fearful that the
crack may become q complete break at
any minute. There was much talk by
officials Of the peril of a water famine.

OMAHA, NEBR., Feb. 2S.-With an
appalling loss of life the Dewey hotel.
a four story brick structure in the
heart of the business district and with
in a block Of the Hotel Paxton the
largest hosiery in Omaha, burned to-
day. The fire smOuldered for hours be-
fore it burst out and was discovered by
a passing Waterman. More than IS
persons were in the building. 1t is
thought very few were rescued. The
police and flremen late today believed
that the loss of life would reach so.
Other estimates place the loss Of life
between so and so.
The Dewey was a large second class
hotel. The fire broke out shortly before
daylight and swept through the build
ing with such rapidity that the guests
had little chance 10 escape.
The entire interior of the hotel coll
lapsed at noon and the water poured in
by the firemen froze solid. Rescuers
were put to work with axes in an en-
deavor to chop their way to the inn
prisoned bodies Of the dead. 1t is be-
lieved that not one of those buried in
the ruins would be taken out alive.

Register Destroyed;
James of Guests Lost.

The fire threatened to sweep the en-
tire block in which the hotel and the
Woodmen of the World building was To-
Gated After a hard fight, 1t was
brought under control. The hotel was
located a; Thirteenth and Farnam
streets.
The register of the hotel was de-
stroyed In the fire and the work OF
checking up the list of dead became ex-
tremelY difficult. Jesse d. Mold, man
ager of the hotel. says that the place
was crowded. A number OF persons
well known throughout the state were
registered at the place.
The freezing temperature made the
work Of the firemen difficult and the
flames spread rapidly.
The dead so far identified are:
Charles Cummings, bartender at the
Henshaw hotel. He had lived at the
Dewey for some years: killed jumping
from third STORY window.
Mrs. Alice NJ. Bonnevie, burned to
death.
Beverly. employed by the Da-
vid Cole Oyster Company, burned.
Unidentified man, died at the Omaha
hospital. He was entirely nude and

Believes Nearly
All Are Dead.

Manager Mold was on duty until mid
night. At that time he left the build
ing and was one of the last to leave the
place alive. He believes that practical
~ every one who was in the building
died. His estimate of the dead runs as
high as 70.
MIS-. Bonnevie was seen at window
on the alley side OF the structure. She
screamed to the crowd for help. A mo-
meut later she fell backward into the
building. Flames could be seen back OF
her Her sister, Mrs. e. C. Hawkins,
was with her at the hotel Mrs. Haw-
kins was saved.
At o'clock this morning six bodies
had been recovered from the ruins.
Search then was almost impossible as
the place was still hot as furnace and
there was danger from tottering walls.
Garrett E. Wilt, night clerk, who went
on duty at-midnight and rushed from
the office when flames made 1t impos-
sible for him to remain longer. said
there were rs or more guests in the
place. OF this number he said at least
a dozen were women. while possibly 80
were transient guests.
An automobile show which is being
held here attracted large crowds to the
city, and this caused the crowding of
the Dewey as well as the other hotels
in the city.

The Household Gods.

The walls of a house are not
built of wood, brick or stone but of
truth and loyalty.
The curtains that screen the
household gods from the eyes of the
vulgar and curious are not woven
of lace, but of discretion.
Unpleasant sounds, the friction of
living, the clash of personalities, are
not deadened by Persian rugs or
polished floors, but by Cancellation
concession and self-control.
The food of the home is not meat
and bread, but thoughtfulness and
unselfshness, for these keep Joy

The Hen.

We have heard many enthusiast
tic comments upon the great Amer
lean hen but none more enthusiast
tic than the following which is set
forth by one of our Michigan ex-
changes:
The hen can't pillow, hoe corn or
split wood, but she gets there just
the same. She doesn't cost more
than a drink of whiskey and a plug
of tobacco, but she can earn s per
cent on $25 in a year and pay her
board besides. The fellow who
doesn't think hen can make more
money than a grocery store loafer
does not know much about her.
Take an old speckled hen that has
no raising at all, one that has been
thrown out of the corn crib, kicked
off the porch and chased out of the
garden by worthless pup; just take
that sort of a hen and she will pay
her expenses and make So year if
properly looked after, and that is
more than can be said about a
lot of cracker barrel statesmen in
this country who will not stoop to
do anything short of running the
government.
