WILL.
By Ella Wheeler Irilcor

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate
Can circumvent, or hinder, or control
The firm resolve of determined soul.
GIFTS count for nothing; will alone is great;
All things give way before it, soon or late.
what obstacle can stay the mighty force
OF the sea-seeking river in its course,
Or cause the ascending orb of day to wait?
Each well-bom soul must win what it de-
serves.
Let the fool prate of luck. The fortunate
Is he whose earnest purpose never sweryes.
Whose slightest action or inaction serves
The one great i'm.
Why even death stands still.
And waits an hour sometimes for such a will.

ARSON CASE HANGS
ON YOUTHS STORY
Boy Says He Saw Pastor Run
from Parsonage Before Fire.

Detroit, Oct. H.-Upon the story Of
nineteen year old Lawrence Edmunds,
who Monday testified that he saw the
Rev. Joseph A. Gotham run from the
parsonage Of the Methodist church of
Dearborn a few minutes after light
flashed up in the basement of the
house. the state expects to convict
the clergyman of the charge of arson
for which he is now on trial before
Judge West.
Assistant Prosecutor vorheis will
supplement the testimony of the boy
with circumstantial evidence tending
to show that Gotham set fire to the
parsonage to collect $4,000 insurance
on a non-existant library and tried to
frame up" the occurrence so that
the blame might be thrown upon
Catholics.
Young Edmunds is the son Of a
member Of the church's board of
trustees, and the extent to which the
congregation of the little church is
arctsed is indicated by the conten.
ton Of Rev. Cottam's lawyers that 1t
was this member of the board who
wished to have the pastor deposed.
