Reality knows no such

state of mind Reality knows no such
thing.
1t speaks well for human kind that in
spite of all it is on the whole cheerful
and brave There is an inherent herOiSm
in humanity.
And it is precisely danger that makes
men great.
We are beginning to realize that the
reason why we are put in the world is
that we may become great
The medieval world believed We are put
here to become saints The modern world
is perceiving that We are put here to De-
come heroes. The medieval notion was
partially de: but it is only the sanctity
that Is heroic that is worth while.
From the cradle to the. grave man
runs the gantlet of dangers. with the GER
! tainty at last of being brought down.
Disease, accident. crime, ocean storm.
earth upheavals and sky bolts are
around him. II Nature has any meaning
at all to souls it must be that her mind
is not as our mind. We seek comfort,
money. ease and pleasure. Nature is con-
stantly sweeping these things away as IL
to her they were rubbish.
One thing she cannot sweep away. 1t
is the heroism in the spirit of man. This
is the abiding product. Every blow OF
fortune but makes him rise mightier.
Every seeming cruelty of the unknown
but stirs his majesty. He is the eternal
Prometheus whom no power can make
cringe.
Nature sets man in q roagh schoOl.
The life of men and nations is no prim-
| rose path. To be man is to fight.
And out of it all We get-what? Not
money nor houses, not fame nor lux
uries; these. are all stripped at last. Out
T, of it all We gain. or may gain, nobleness
! of mind that no evil men nor angry ele-
ments can bend. strength of soul that
sees beauty. goodness and order in a
chaotic world, and love persistent through
better and through woise. triumphant
over death.

Fellow workmen soon reached his side
and he was lowered to the ground by
means Of a rope. after cutting the wire.
He showed great grit in assisting the
others TO restore respiration and al
though very weak managed to remain on
his feet while two linemen walked him
about. using the usual method to revive
r near -electrocuted person. The sleeve

LAWRENCE STRIKE FUND.
Judge Consents to Report Matter to
Full Court.

Boston, June 20.--Judge Braley of the
supreme court, after a hearing on the
adoption of final decree in the Law
renee strike fund case yesterday, re-
served decision, but consented to report
the matter to the full court, if so re-
quested by counsel for the respondents,
Joseph Bedard, William Yates, William
Trautman and Joseph Shaheen, the trus-
tees
The attorney general sought to have
the four respondents held personally re-
sponsible for the $l9650, which, it is
alleged, was paid out of the fund for
purposes other than the relief to the
strikers. the ostensible purpose of its
collection
Joseph f. Lynch. for the four strike
leaders who acted as trustees, said that
the total amount raised for the benefit
of the strikers was for various purpose
and that the master who examined the
case had been unable to determine what
part was contributed for relief which
alone would constitute public chart
table trust. Mr. Lynch also stated that
Yates and Trantman acted at times as
chairman and bookkeeper, respectively,
of the strike committee.
In taking the matter under advise
ment, Judge Braley said that the burden
was upon the respondents to show how
much of the fund was contributed for
general purposes and how much of it
for relief. Unless such a distinction
was shown the respondents might be
charged with the whole thing.
