one of those men that hated to be regarded as
more than human. He rather gloried in his faults
Nevertheless. we spoke OF him only with praise
We thought only of his virtues. If his faults came
into our minds at all we at once turned them to
virtues.
Most Of the women about the sick room were
religious. They knew that the invalid followed no
creed except the elastic creed of human sympathy
Several of them greved because he did not believe
they did. Two of them. OF different faiths
prayed for him. each in her own way.
1t was as if they praying to different Gods

There is of my acquaintance who takes
what seems to to be strange attitude toward
death. He regards it of account at all. The
reason is that he considers life, that is human
life, so unimportant. To him, human life is mere
incident OF eternity, a mysterious expression that
we call living. Our life, he thinks, may be only
a dream.
What is important to his view is not the
present. but the distant future, the working out OF
the eternal plan.
Consequently. this man takes toward the expert
ence OF every day highly philosophical attitude
He meets his duties conScicntiously and he lets
the rest go. He doesn't trouble to strive for
happiness to consider whether he is happy
unhappy His philosophy gives him beautiful
serenity of mind, freedom from fear and con-
Germ for the immediate future. Death becomes
a mere incident in a vast plan.

Perhaps, way down in consciousness, VIC
all think about death than acknowledge
to ourselves. And there those who think
about death altogether too much for their peace
OF mind
| know several men who look distressed the
moment they hear reference to death. They
include who will look on death or
hear death discussed if he can possibly escape
He is, OF course, morbid He has allowed death
to prey on his mind, to fill him with terror.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-06-13

The greatest comfort that be given to
those that fear death comes from those that have
had the widest experience with death. Doctors
and nurses say that, in most cases, death ap-
proaches it mercifully removes fear from the
minds OF the dying There comparatively
few instances where the dying express concern
Nearly always they ready. Often they are
eager to go.
| suspect that in the We sometimes hear
OF. where the dying have expressed terror. the
cause may be traced to some strange twist in the
brain, resulting from wrong education, perhaps
from unhealthy ideas carly established there. or
from long developed defects OF character, or from
odd turns OF disease.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-06-13

How cherish the last words spoken by the
dying. They likely to assume an importance
lar beyond their actual meaning On the other
hand. such words sometimes express deep-seated
feelings that could break through the restraints
put upon ourselves and upon one another in
everyday life.
In dying, people sometimes say finer things
than they said in living. And they do finer
things than they could have done in living.
And yet the distinction may consist mainly in
words.
Dying makes what is Lett OF living seem pre-
cous. The dying, and those about to die feel
that these last moments must be made beautiful
So often we hear people who, in dying resign
the old enmitics and ask and grant forgiveness
Through such forgiveness they help to make dy-
ing beautiful. And incidentally, they offer a
lesson to those who go living the apparently
incxhaustible life.

al" ROAD BOSSES MUST NOW
TAKE THEIR OWN MEDICINE
Sad is the plight of the Chicago
Elevated railways. It prepared a
dose for its wOrkmen labeled 'Arbi-
tratiOn." Now it must take its own
medicine.
Dr.. Len Busby is accused of mixing
the prescription. DR.. B. l. BHdd, con-
sulttng physician, was called in when
the surface and elevated lines were
stricken with violent cases of strikitis
last month.
The docs got their noodles togeth-
er. They decided at once they would
have to use arbitration on the pa
tent For a similar ailment arbitra-
ton had been used three years be-
fore on the same patients with great
success the companies. At that
time the dose was given in cOnjunc-
ton with OrTin Carriers little shiVer
pills. They worked all right-for the
companies. It made the men shiVer.
So Len and B. L were strong for
another dose of arbitration They
couldn't jam the Orrin Carter pill
down the throats Of the car men
again, so they tried to sugar coat the
names of some men associated with
State street department stores and
other interests antagonistic to labor.
They failed.
Doc. Busby then proposed Mayor
Thompson as the third ingredient of
the arbitration dose. It was widely re-
ported that the mayor owned huge
block of elevated railways stock and
it was figured he would not vote to
reduce his own income
They hailed VIM. Hale as the man
who would fill the bill. Thompson
filed the bill of additional salary ex-
penses for the surface lines in a right
Hale and hearty fashion
Now that it's own medicine has

THREE FIRES.

Ellsworth Has Had More Than Its
share the Past Week.
Ellsworth has had more than its share
OF fires during the past week, three oc-
curing within ss many days.
e Saturday night about midnight the
house Of Michael Shea, on the eastern
road, was burned fiat. This house was
new, being built by Mr.. Shea on the site
OF one burned in August, 1912. Being be-
yond the water limits, the firemen could
do nothing. A portion of the furniture
was saved. The fire is supposed to have
originated from an over-heated parlor
stove. There was an insurance of 1000
on the house and 500 on the furniture.
The second fire OF the week occurred
Monday morning about l O'Clock, when
the building on South street, formerly oc-
cupied by the late Capt. s. L. Lord as q
carriage factory, was burned. The build
ing was owned by Fred Fl. Osgood, who
used it as a storehouse for carriages and
sleighs, a few OF which were saved. A
quantity of furniture owned by Capt.
Nehemiah H. Means was also stored in
the building. The loss is partially COW
cred by insurance.
Tuesday afternoon the Burnham tene-
ment house on Third street, owned by A..
F. Burnham, was damaged by fire. The
fire started in the upper part OF the house,
evidently around chimney, and burned
through the roof. The fire did not reach
the lower part Of the house, but the build
ing was pretty thoroughly wet down.
Three families were occupying apartments
in the house. The building was insured.
