There is great difference between
 making a good living and making a good life. As paradoxical as it may
 seem, most lives are unhade in mak-
 ing living. The man who lives from
 the profits of vice, directly or indirect
 ly, is not making a life of virtue and
 he cannot have it changed to a life of
 virtue by hugging the proceeds to his heart while he tells the Lord he is sor- ry and petitions Him to make him as white as snow.

REMARKS ABOUT DOGS

CWrltten Specially for The Bulletin.)
 Tn enc day recently I clipped from the papers two stories about dogs, each characteristic in it's way.
 The first related the career Of g. little fox terrier, Jim Crow, of Ken ton, Ohio, the only deg ever permitted to occupy q chalT in the courtroom where his owner, Judge ?. T. Crow held sitting5. Jlnl had almost human i intelligence, the story said. and sat beside the Judge at every session He was dead and tae Crow household: as well as the court attaches, was mourning his death.
 The second story concerned doq owned by a certain Monroe Jackson, a full -blooded Sioux Indian, arrested in Danyille. Illinois. Jackson had been with a Wild West show which went brolSe at Danville. So, too, did Jack son; but he managed to keep his dog and when arrested for over-indu1gence in fire Water-that long time enemy of his race--the dog was at his heels. When the man was put in a cell the dog refused to leave, so the police found ii necessary to lock up the faith ful animal with his master When separated, both were inconsoIable
 Jackson was sentenced for eight days and, through his love, the dog was penalized for the same length of time .-,a...

. These who hava habit of reading

hose Who have a habit of reading have no trouble gettino into good so- ciety. There is no better society than the men and women of mind; and must have a mind of their own. What others think is subject to analysts The reader is the one to recognize ideas and to estimate their value from his point of View. To read simply for read for the purpose of increasing knowledge and through q perception of truth to get closer in harmony with the Divine will is to increase. ones own usefulness and the pleasure of living. To be deep yersed in books, but shallow in himself,' is to be sadly handicapped. The books we read con- tain treasures of the mind and if we do not accumulate through meditation many gems of thought because of them We have proven we are blind.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

Do not get htlmbugged about the character Of war. Let the Bernhardis and all the rest talk of it ets a neces- .sity. but remember Christ recognized no such necessity. Napoleon said war was the business of barbarians'' and Wellington said the next dreadful thing to 3 battle lost was a battle Won.' Napier declares success in war, like charity in religion, covers a multitude of sins and sherman did not hesitate to pronounce war as hell" These are pretty good authori- ties as to what war is. Of a hundred commentators upon war we do not find one who deems it just or necessary. Swift perceived that war was that mad game the world so loves to playi" Tertuliian pointed out that fin disarm- ing Peter Christ disarmed every sol dier-' Byron pictures war as the feast of vultuFes and the waste of life" Montesque wrote If Europe shall ever be ruined 1t will be by it's warriors" ]" and Franklin assured his countrymen there nev1r was a good war nor a bad peace. It is only madmen who att tempt to justify wars of conquest.

 Physicians, after post mortem eX- animation, established the fact that the trouble had been of long standing An operation two weeks ago, they said, would have saved his life.

He was stricken with pains in the abdo- men early in the evening. The pain grew more acute and at 6:30 o'clock he was removed to the hospital. An hour and a half later relief came and for few minutes he cOnversed with a deputy At o'clock, when Deputy Sheriff Graham went to the hospital, he was in a semi-unconscious condi- tion. He died at 1O:20 o'clock without regaining consciousness.
 Sheriff Meadows was seated in his office with his deputy sheriffs when the first pain came. Five months be- fore he had suffered a similar attack. The pain grew worse despite the eff forts of the deputies to alleviate his suffering, and physician was hastily summoned.
 The ministrations of the physicians reduced the stabbing, poignant pain and he was removed to St. Thomas hospital. An hour and a half later his strength seemed to rally and he sat up in bed and chatted for a moment with the deputy at his siue.
 At g o'clock the pain had increased again and the sheriff was in a semi unconscious condition. He recognized no one from that time until he passed and the only words he spoke were:
