THE UNALrERABLE PAST.


shall not have a chance to see
Today again when night comes down,
This hour again shall never be
With all its failure or renown,
Another hour must take its place,
Another day lies just ahead,
No single step may l retrace
To alter what I've done or said.
II have badly lived or toiled,
Played false for any petty gain,
The record for today Is saiJed,
And sOiled it always must remain.
Despite tomorrow's vain regret,
The selfish hour must selfish stay;
The past shall hold me in its debt,
Nor shall have a chance to pay.
What's done I never can undo;
What's said i never can recall;
Onward fare tnv ventures new,
Perchance to rise, perchance to fall.
The yesterdays that once were mine
Shall never feel my hands again;
i have no power 10 make them fine,
Nor wash away a single stain.
If would make this morning great
With courage ] must do Il now;
Tomorrow IL will be too late
No second chance does Time allow
This day, this hour. this minute stand
Thru all the years that are to be
The record OF my brain and hand,
r God, let me live them worthilY.

are getting entirely out of control.
In one instance a foreman in

broke up a card game among the
workers and ordered them back to
their jobs. The workers threw the

card game, leaving it to others to res
cue the foreman from the water.

let Into Heart.

Mike Bondarnik, aged 80 years, re-
siding at 80 Franklin street.. COM
mitted suicide shortly after 12 o'clock
this noon, by shooting himself
through the heart with 3S calibre

aminer Fl. A. Elcock viewed the re-
mains and gave permission for their
removal to the undertaking parlors

According to the information Sc
cured by the police, Bondarnik was
drinking heavily this morning. He
had returned within a day or so with
his tiancee from Boston. Last night
as they sat in company of another
young woman at the home of Joseph
Adam movich with whom Bondarnilx
boarded, a quarrel arose between Mrs.
Anna SeVelage, q widow of one
month, and who was to marry the
suicide in a few days. F'ollowin e
some heated words, Mrs. Sevelage re-
turned to Bondarnik diamond ring
and left the house.
This morning when BondarnilS
arose, he told Mrs. Adamovich that
he intended to take his life. He left
the house, and went to Mrs. Seve-
lagos home on Clark street. Here
it is said the quarrel was patched
up. Bondarnik then invited his fiancee
to call at his boarding place at noon
today.
When he got back to the Adamo-
vich place, dinner was being served,
and he sat down with other mem
bers of the household. Before the
end of the meal BOndarnik arose and
said to the others at the table,
Good bye, you will not see me any
more in this life" FTe retired to his
own room and partly closed the
door A few seconds later the sound
of a pistol was heard and when the
Adamovich family reached the room,
Bondarnik was lying dead on the
floor with blood oozing from a wound
over the heart.
In compliance with the request of
her spouse, Mrs. Sevclage arrived at
the house a few minutes after the
tragedy. Word was despatched to
the police station at 1925 o'clock
that there was trouble at SO Frank
lin street, and Officers Michael Bro
phy and Joseph Kennedy were sent
with the patrol.

Message to Governors Explains That
No Law Yet Demands Reorganiza-

Drafted.

Washington, April 23--Reconsritu-
! ton of the National Guard was actu-
ally started today when the war de-
+ partment, through the bureau Of mil
1tla affairs authorized the organization
of seven regiments and one extra hat-
talon Of infantry, one squadron Of
cavalry and IS companies of coast ar
tillery.
New York is Included
The state of New York was ay-
I thorlzed to raise four regiments of in
fantry, one squadron of cavalry and
2 companies of coast artillery. New
Jersey was authorized to organize one
regiment of infantry and two COM
panies of coast artillery; Ohio, two
! regiments Of infantry and Oregon.
one battalion Of infantry and four
companies Of coast artillery.
Replace State Troops.
These new units are intended to re-
place state troops which under sec
ton 81 of the National Defense act
cannot be legally maintained by the
states in time of peace. That section
prohibits the maintenance of any
troops except those prescribed in the
1ct-regulars and National Guard.
Other authorizations for units are
expected to follow soon. The states
first considered were those in which
conditions were such that their gov
ernors considered armed forces night
be necessary under certain conditions.
Has State ConstabuIary.
The state Of Pennsylvania, for in
stance, reported to the war depart
ment that it possessed q very eff
cient state constabulary and 5000
state troops sufficient to handle any
emergency which could be forcseen
at this time.
The units authorized today must be
in such state of organization before
June 80 as to be eligible for federal
recognition If the war department is
to extend financial aid.
65 Men in Company.
The organizations will be based on
a peace status, company consisting
of 5 men as a minimum.
It is clearly understood the MES
sage sent to the governors said that
the war does not call for the orE2ni-
zation of the National Guard at the
present time but leaves initiation of
its Organizat ton with the state au-
thorities and it is desired to anticipate
the action of congress in the formula
tion Of the national military policy
nor is it believed to be deSira ble to
undertake the general reorganiza ton
of the National Guard prior to the

al Guard units from the United states
