n Death Ends All.

And suppose after all that death
does end all. Next to eternal Joy,
next to being forever with those we
love and who have loved us-next to
that, is to be wrapped in the dream
less draptry of eternal peace. Next
to eternal life is eternal sleep. Upon
the shadoNy shore Of death the sea OF
trouble caa,ts no wave. Eyes that
have been curtained by the everlast-
ing dark will never know again the
burning touch Of tears. Lips touched
by eternal silence will never speak
again the broken words Of grief.
Hearts of dust do not break. The
dead do not weep. Within the tomb
no yelled and weeping sorrow sits.
And in the rayless gloom is crouched
no shuddering fear.-Robert Ingersoll.

RorIna Holes In Glass.

The simplest and safest way to bore
holes In glass Is to use q copper or
brass tube, quite thin, Of the size OF
the hole. Bore hole in small block
OF wood about one-quarter Of an inch
thick-hole to At the tube loosely
Fasten the block to the glass with
peeswax, so that the hole corresponds
with the required hole in the glass.
Insert the tube in the hole and pour
emery.-No. 90-and water into the
tube with a spoon. and turn the tubs
back and forth with the fingers; or q
little grooved pulley may be put on
the tube to work with a string IN
which case q center should be placed
at the upper end to guide the tube.
In this way . hole of any size' from
one-eighth of an inch to an inch OF
| more, may be cut through ordinary
window glass in few minutes.

AN EVENING OFF
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

Priscilla laid Gerald junior In his
crib, tilted the bottle to just the
proper angle and snatched a soft lit
tie handkerchief out. of her belt Just
In time to prevent a very bitter tear
from dropping down on to the wee
pink cheek on the pillow.
Gerald senior had just gone out,
slamming the door as most males do,
considering the same a fitting finale
for q marital row. This was their
first quarrel, and Priscilla felt that
the earth was shaking under her feet.
She slipped into kimono and sat
down by the window. 1t. was not quite
dark, but the street below was very
quiet; so was the little flat-just a
soft, contented sound from the crib in
the corner. The silence added to her
loneliness. OF course little Gerald was
the dearest, sweetest, most precious
darling in the wide world, but after
she had cooed and kissed and patted
and rocked all day, to say nothing of
the ceremonious bath and airing in the
perambulator, she felt 1t her privilege
to associate with people of her own
age, after baby had settled himself to
sleep all night; preferably Gerald
senior, but-and this was what the
trouble was all about-he had drug
store, and no one could be trusted
with the precious prescription factory
from q. m. until IL p. m. daily but
himself. Priscilla was left to amuse
herself as best she could.
Suddenly someone threw up win
dow in the building next door and
strains of music came floating over
to her. She raised her own window
in order to hear better. 1t was q
waltz, and, looking up, she caught a
glimpse now and then of passing
dancers.
Gerald junior was sleeping now. She
took away the bottle, covered him
snugly--and then she went to hel
desk. Long ago she had tucked away
an engraved card somewhere in 6
pigeonhole. She found it under thu
baby's weight chart.

dance to make sure he was all right.
In q few minutes she was dressed
in a year-old white gown and black
slippers and stockings, but she felt
like Cinderella in satin and crystal
going to her first ball.
The preliminaries were q little try
ing to timid Priscilla, but the delight
of dancing more than made UP for
the effort. As she had planned. after
every dance she went to the window
for a peep at the baby, who lay, as
she had left him, sound asleep in his
bed close to the window.
Priscilla laughed softly to herself.
How splendidly her plan had worked!
Two hours Of pleasure like this once
a week would keep her going hun
dreds of lonely evenings at home
alone. What Gerald does not know
does not hurt him!" she reflected
smiling. I'm not doing anyone in the
world bit Of harm"
The class work on a. new one-step
took little longer than usual, and
by the time It was over Priscilla was
frantic with anxiety. She made
straight for the window and looked
down at Baby Gerald's window.
She put her hand suddenly to her
mouth to stifie a scream. She was

We wonder what the German
patriots" think of the attempt of
their beloved Vaterland to embrOil
this country into war with Mexico,
in order that shipment of NUM-
tons to the all es may cease.
This surely is the limit, and Con-
gress now assembled should forth
with pass laws under which every
person, who sticks up for the
country which he had left to es-
cape the very things for which he
now brazenly stands in this free
country, may be severely punish
ed, or given his "lauf pass, and
shipt back where he came from.
We do not care for hyphens of
whatever nationality and the quick
err we show them where they get
off at the better. The Germans
particularly, in this country show
very poor logic when they uphold
militarism and other economic con
ditions of the Vaterland, forget
ting that years ago they left their
native land to escape these very
things. Lincoln before the civil
war broke out said that this cOun.
try could not long remain hall
slave and half free. This prinei.
pie had been tested on the battle
field and South whipped into line
The same condition presents itsel
today, on smaller scale. Thi.
country cannot re main half hypher
and half American, and while i
may not be tested by the sword
the hyphens should he whipped il
to line or kicked out.
