MAETERLINCK ON DEATH.
Total Annihilatlon Impossible, What

OF the many different things l have read
the most satisfying is hundred page
book written by Maurice Maeterlincb
bearing the significant title Death" In
II he says:
Total humiliation Is impossible. We
are the prisoners of an infility without
outlet wherein nothing perishes. wherein
everything is dispersed. but nothing lost.
Neither n body nor n thought can drop
from the universe, out of time and space.
Not an atom OF our flesh. not CULVER
of our nerves will go where they will
cense TO be. The brightness OF n star
extlngulshcd millions OF years ago still
wanders In the ether where our eyes
will perhaps behold It this very night.

THE PLUMBERS PAINTING.
A COrOt That Caused Family Row
Fathers Best Investment.

w b. Mccormick IN Arts and Decorations.
During the exhibition of a famous
collection of art objects In New York
twenty-five years ago the/attendants in
the gallery where the collection was
shown noticed an unfamiliar and not
very we'll dressed man spending con-
siderable time each day in front OF
Corot's Lake Nemi." one of the pic
lures in the collection.
On making inquiries they found he
was a well to do plumber. wholly un-
known in the picture buying world. 1t
appeared later that he told his family
he intended to buy the painting II pos
sible, and there was a fine family row
over the matter. But he stuck to his
plan and on the night the canvas came
up for sale 1t was knocked down to
him for $4,000. As long as he lived
his family never forgave him for his
extravaganza.
But they were forced to change their
opinion of his action later. For when
the painting was sold after his death it
brought $4,000. No single investment
Of this mans lifetime ever brought him
so large d profit.

Sam Gompers Blows Up Again.

Before the primaries and before the
election Mr.. SAM GoMPERs went storm
ing up and down the country with his
blatant threats that he had millions
Of American Federation labor votes to
launch against public officers who had
refused to be his political lackeys and
to deliver to candidates for Office who
would lick his boots.
Mr. SAM GoMrERs had tens Of thou
sands of labor votes in Iowa with
which to defeat Senator CUMMINs for
having prepared railway measure
to serve the people of the United
States rather than the professional
labor politicians. But with all that
Mr.. SAM GoMPERs could do and with
all that the Plumb leaguers could do
against CUMMINs, and In spite OF the
fact that the Senator has scarcely
been able to leave his sickbed
throughout the campaign, CUMMINs
Is reelected by 100000 TO perhaps as
much as O,OO0-anyhow, by a land
slide plurality.
Mr.. SAM GoMPERs also had tens Of
thousands Of labor votes In Kansas
with which to obliterate Governor
ALLEN because in the coal strike the
Governor mined coal to save the peo-
pie OF Kansas from freezing to death
and afterward got laws passed to pre-
vent the recurrence of such sacrifices
of the public's comfort, health and
safety. But Governor ALLEN isn't
obliterated. He is still going TO be
right Oh the job with a good fat
majority.
Mr.. SAM GoMPERs had hundreds of
thousands of labor votes in New York
TO deliver to Mr.. Cox. But in the whole
State of New York. with perhaps n
full million Of women voting, Mr..
Cox polled only n meagre, pitiful half
million votes. In the city of New
York alone the Democratic party,
WITHOUT lHc uhSlstdlct VI Nlis GAM
GoMPERs and the Plumb leaguers,
and with no women voting, has been
able to do almost as well as that.
Mr.. SAM GoMPERs had millions Of
labor votes In the United States to
deliver TO Mr.. Cox. But they didn's
show up anywhere in the ballot boxes.
And Mr.. SAM GoapERs never has been
able to convert his political bullying
into ballots from the day he first tried
It. years ago, on Representative LTT-
TLEFiELp in Maine, down to his latest
fzzle In trying to Gomperize the Amer
lean nation.
1t Is MS much TO the shining credit
Of American labor. organized Ms well
ms unorganzed that It cannot be led
to the polls In n Sam Gompers halter
as it Is to the grotesque dlscredit Of
Mr.. SAM GoMpEns that he keeps on
with his braggart threats that he can
do such an ignohle thing to American
labor, but always, on the day of cleo
ton, blows up like wlndbag.
