Eyes and voices of dead friends
Como to mo at night and cheer me,
And they seem so very near me
Ere my sleepless vigil ends.
Eyes that onco exchanged with mine
Looks of fond regard and feeling
From the earth come softly stealing,
Onco again with love to shine.
Voices stilled for many yoars
Ah, but I can hear them plainly!
Voices that I longed for vainly,
They have broken from their biers.
Every eye a beacon light
Just beyond the shoals of sorrow,
Polntirig out the grand Tomorrow,
Every voice a soft dollght.
Eyes and voices of dead friends
Come when Memory Is complaining,

On Titles and Thcosopliy

A reverence tor titles Is born in the
English blood and It permeates tho men
tality of that nation.
At the same time tho English people
demand more of a man and woman of
title before admit
ting them to their
favor than do our
American society
circles! We have
many cases of bo
gus lords and
dukes, counts and
barons, who havo
become social lions,
and even married
women of eooil
family before they
were unmasked.
Such an Occur
rence is unknown
Ir. England, for
t h. e-y have their
literature of caste,
and no man would
darn assume a title there without facta
to substantiate the claim. The pre
tenders come to America, where they
know they can find an entree to our
"best, society" In many parts of the land
merely through our erase for the titles
which; wfe'hretend to idesplsc. -'.
But In England when a man or woman
bears a title, especially a title which has
descended from father to son for several
generations, or centuries, he Is sure to
kIv necullar obeisance from tho
" which no amount of monoy
or Intellect could obtain for him without
the title.
A very enterprwins " iiruc""' j
gllshman expressed concern at the un-1
orthodox religious tendencies of a friend.
This friend, an American, Is a Theoso- j
phlst, and the kindly hearted Englishman, i
being devoted to the church of Englant.
and being most conservative by nature,
begged his friend to be careful about ex
pressing her pagan Ideask lest sho maka
herself unpopular.
Thpn one day she unfolded to him a
surprising fact an English lady bearing
an honored name, granddaughter of an
earl, daughter of an earl and sister of an
earl, was an avowed Theosophlst, and
sho had asked the American lady to
lunch because of her pagan Ideas. Where
upon ' the nice, klndly-hearted English
man, ceased to bo anxious, for though he
might not accept the pagan Ideas fori
himself, ho felt they gained a certain
dignity from being accepted by the dls- j
tlngu'shed descendant of two earls.
Lady Emily Lutyens (pronounced
Lutchens), national representative of the
Order of the Star In the East, in England,
Is the daughter of Owen Meredith, second '

young minds has received the underlying
facts and principles as a basis for build
ing the beautiful tower of faith later and
a radiant center from which to receive
power and purpose from the universe.
Lady Lutyens Is editor of The Day
spring, the organ of the thcosophlcal so
ciety known as the Order of the Star in
the East.
This order has been founded to draw
lgether thoso who, whether. Inside or
mtslde of the theoposphlcal society, be
levo In tho near coming of a 'great
spiritual teacher for tho helping of the
world. It Is thought that its members
may, on tho physical plane, do something
to prepare public opinion for His coming
and to create an atmosphere of wel
come and of reverence; and, on the
higher planes, may unite In forming an
Instrument of service ready for His use.
The declaration of principles, acceptance
of which Is all that Is necessary for ad
mission to the order, is as follows:
1. Wo believe that a great Teacher will
.soon appear In the world, and we wish
so to live now that we may bo worthy
to know Him when He comes.
t. Wo shall try, therefore, to keep
Him In our minds always and to do in
His name, and therefore to the best of
our ability, all the work which comes to
ua In our dally occupation.
3. Am for as our ordinary duties allow.
We shall endeavor to devoto a portion of
pur tm each day to some definite work
which may' help, to prepare for His com
ing. 4. Wo shall seek to make devotion,
steadfastness and gentleness prominent1
characteristics In our dally life.
6. We shall try to begin and end each
day with a short period devoted to tho
asking of His blessing upon all that we
try to do for Him and In His name.
0. We regard it as our special' duty to
try to recognize alnd reverence greatness
In whomsoever shown and to strive to
co-operate, so far as we can, with thoso
whom we feel to be spiritually our su
periors.
Anna Besant says of this order:
"When the Supreme Teacher came to
found Christianity the public mind was
unprepared for His coming; only the
wise men noted the shining of the star
In the east. The opposition stirred up
was so strong, the recognition was con
fined to so few, that He was able to give
the world the blessing of His physical
presence only for three brief years. Per
chance If our band grows large enough In
every country to prepare men's hearts
for His appearing and to give Him ef
fective welcome when He comes tho
Lord of Love may remain with us for a
period less brief, and do a work less re
stricted than that which was possible
2 000 years ago. Some, at least, of the
shafts that would otherwlso be aimed at
Him may fall on our wilting breasts, and
some of the opposition may exhaust it
self on us, who gladly offer ourselves as
His servants."
In America and England and India, this
little Order of the Star In the East Is
growing with amailng power. Prof.
Woodhouse, M. A., has written a pam
phlet on Its Inner and outer work and
meaning. And Itev. Scott-Montcrleff, M.
A., has written and spoken such living
words that nothing more suitable can be
said to close with:
"We harp too much upon the past, end
lessly discuss It, turn It over and over.
We have burled Christ In tho church! we
have allowed the machinery to strangle
tho life, and our talk Is of yet more and
more Improved machinery. He has
warned us that He may come in an hour
when we think not, which Is surely, 't
anything, a warning to begin thinking,

Welsh disestablishment and church
finance. We build and plan as If we were
going on for ever, bishops, priests and

evensong and all the rest of It,
"When, before our very eyes, If we
would look, the world Is changing and
drawing together, east and west are fus

old abuses and selfish Interests are
crumbling to their fall, old orthodoxes,
and with them old hatreds and unbroth

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a foreigner,
aged 11 years, and deeply In love with an
American girl of J7 years. I call to see
her two or three tlmrs a week and she
seems to like It very imwh. but her par
ents wish me to como over oftener than
that and take her out for good times and
other places of amusement. She says she
loves me, but tells me the good times she
has with other boys In my absence. I
told her to stop going out with other
boyu, and she promised me not to do so.
Friends have told me she still goes out
with other boys, and this Is very dis
pleasing to me. A WOOING LOVER.
She Is not engaged to you, and there
fore not bound to obey you. I am afraid,
being only 17 years old and frivolous,
she loves a good time more than she
loves you. She will outgrow alt that in
time, and you must be patient a

A Hard Tusk,
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 80 years old,
while my girl Is 17. Her father favors me.
bin her mother objects to me, for whiuh
she gives no reason at all and Is tryimc
to persuade her daughter to give me up.
I have an A No. 1 character, no bad
habits except smoking, and earn a good
salary with an excellent chance of ad
vancement Whenever I call on this girl
her mother treats me tike one of the
family, but when I am gpne she talks
about me. How can I make mysejt liked
by her, as I want to marry this gliln
two or three years. We love each other.

No mother likes to lose a good daugh
ter, and often she objects without any
reason more definite than this.
You must persevere; conduct yourself
In a manner with which she can find n)
fault, and respect all her wishes and
foibles. You have won the daughter; now
you must court the mother, and good
luck to you!

'Tho devlno right

And In dogree a superstition still lin
gers In reference thucto, and we expect
our courts to be something mora than
human.
Tho modern Judicial machinery haa no
method by which It can rover o Itself and
do Justice to an Individual that it has
wronged.
However, It is good to see that tho pub
lic conscience Is becoming awakom d and
this In manifest In senate bill No. 074. in
troduced by Senator Sutherland of Utah
Senator Sutherland haa presented to the
senate a strong argument In behalf ol
the proposition. In addition is a brief bf
Kdward SI. Itorchard, law librarian ol
congress, and a further argument Is ap
pended bV l'rof. John IT. Wlrmnni A.n
of the Northwestern School of Law, at
KVtanston, III.
Tl la bill seeks to remedy certain
of Injustice. It docs not seek to mnt
relief to all and every person who Is le
gally innocent, or whose conviction Is re
versed on appeal.
Alt Senator Sutherland's bill nek tn rin
la two things: To give relief to a man
cnargea with crime when It la shown bo-
yona question that the crime was not
committed at all.
Second, when It Is shown by competent
proof that the crime was not committed
by this man.
If congress passes the bill, as It doubt
less will. Its examnle will ln fnllnwi hr
similar legislation In all of the states.
An Incident leading ud to thl bill is tho
caso of a man who had served ten years
ror murder, and who was released only
when the man he waa supposed to have
murdered presented himself at the penl
tent.ary and asked to soo the man who
had murdered him.
All tho circumstances pointed In the dl.
reotlon of gvillt for tho accused man.
xnerr naa Deen a light, which was the
culmination ot a srudgo long entertained..
Thus motive was provod. The corpus de
licti was found burled in a shallow grave.
The body was much decomposed, but it
was Identified by relative ,
Who the actual dead man waa mult
no difference. It wasn't the man the
relatives thought It was. Tho othor man
had got out of tho country, thlnkU he
had kilicd U.o man who subsequently
served ten years for killing him.
The man' was convicted and was sen
tenced, escaping the gallows by a hair.
Now comes the case of John Doehman,
committed to Sing Sing for life on ac
count of a murder, it turns out, how
ever, hat the murder waa commltteed
by anothor person, and the facts are pre
sented beyond dispute
Andrew Tnth spent twenty years In a
prlion In Pennsylvania before the authnri.
ties discovered of their own account that
thoy had the wrong man.
Rellof In the bill I fixed at a sum not
to exceed ,000. Of course, $5,000 is a
very Insignificant sum, say, for twenty
years of a man's life. Dut the idea Is to
prepare a bill that will be acceptable
oven to the most captious.
The state holds its cltlxena responsible
for their mistakes or their crimes, but th.
state is not responsible for Its blunders.
It cannot be sued nor arrested.
Prof. WIgmoro says: "The state. In
tho past, has committed many crimes
against liberty. When the state com
mits a wrong against property there is a
redress, but when It commits a crime
agalnut a person, no redress under pres
ent conditions is poislble. Wo say all
men are entitled to life, liberty and tho
pursuit of happiness. This we assume ad
a fundamental principle."
Truth Is on the scaffold. Wrong is on
the throne.
Wo have slipped a cog somewhere. Our
government takes account of property,
but it does not take account of human
lf. The happiness of tho individual Is
something which the state does not of.
ficially recognise. The state can do no
wrong, excepting when it comes to prep-
eny.
The question now before us is. should
the state be held responsible for Its mis
takes, and Is it possible for the state to
be gu.lty of a crime against the indl.
vldual?
, T;.e law says "No," but In the human
heart there Is something that says "Yes."
The fedoial govo.nment prosecuted E.

never had cause for complaint. But that
