Always the Same Dreams.

What is called science has always
pursued the elixir of life and the phi
losopher's stone, and is just as busy
after them today as ever it was in the
day of Paracelsus. We call them by
different names, immunization or radi-

which lure us into the adventures
from which we learn are always at
bottom the same.-Bernard Shaw.

And this horde of hellions circled

The Angel of Death came there and

The victims of hatred dead there on

And horrible was the sight.
Throat-cut and bleeding lay Danny
O'Rourke,
There on the blood-soaked sod;
They thought he was dead, so they
let him stay
Through the byistering sun Of the

While the murderers kept on their
hellish way
And vengeance creid to God.
