Think of Death as a Friend, Not a Foe It is the Only Certain Thing in Life "A Change of World" is. Desirable The Happiest Life Would Pall If That Did Not Come. -J Copyright. 1913, by Star, Company. My ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Itrcrlmlnatlon. Said Life to Death, "Methlnks If I were you, 1 would not carry such fin awesome face To terrify the helpless human race. And If, Indeed, those wondrous tales be true Of happiness beyond, and If I knew About the boasted blessings of that place, I would not hide so miserly all trace Of my ,vaBt knowledge. Death, if 1 were vou. Hut like a glorious nngel I would lean Above the pathway of each sorrowing soul, Hope la my eyes, and comfort In my oreath. ' And strong corjvjctlon in my ' radiant mien'. The whltuil whispered pt that beauteous' jroa 1,1(1 - This would I do, It I were you, O Death.!". Said Death to Life, "If I were you, my friend, 1 would not lure confiding souls each day AVIth fair, false, smiles, to enter on a Tvay So filled with pain and trouble to tho end. 1 would not tempt those whom I should defend. Nor stand unmoved and sec them go astray. . . Nor would I force unwilling souls to stay Who longed for freedom, were I you, my friend, Hut, likn a tender mother, I would take The weary world upon my sheltering breast Ana wipe away us -lears, ana sooino lis strife. 1 would fulfill my promises, and make My children bless mo us they sank to rati, Where now they curse If I were you, O Life!" Life made no answer, and Death spoke again. I would not woo from Clod's sweet noth Ingr.css A fouI to being. If I could not bless And crown it with all Joy. If unto men My faco seems awesome, tell me, Life, why then Do they pursue me. mad for my caress, lleltevlng in my silence Mrs redress. For your loud falsehoods? (So Death spoke again.) Oh. It Is well for you I am not fair, Well ttiat I hide behind a voiceless tomb The mighty secrets of that other place, i:ise would you stand In Impotent despair While unfledged souls straight from tho mother's womb Hushed to my arms, and spat upon your face." The main object of most human beings Is to avoid death, and yet death Is the only certain thing In life. From the hour we draw the first breath we are going for ward to meet death. Instead of re garding d'fUn as a foe. would itnot ho more sensible to think of t as a friend? One who comts to tak "8 on a delightful Journey ' There are some advanced meta -j.hyslclans who talk and write about the possibility of llvipg continually and perpetually in hfn body. George Krancls Train declared he should do so. He believed he had overcome death. He believed he had acquired the life habit, and he meant to prove that there was no need of changing bodies. But his body Is now dust. Mary Baker Eddy and Helen Wilmans snd Wallace Wattles and Eleanor Kirk all talked this same philosophy: all be l.eved they had entered upon life eternal In this body on this earth. Yet all are gathered to their fathers. All "changed their worlds." All live, on-other planes In higher states of consciousness. No doubt all come near the old seenos snd Influence, those whose minds are ti-ned In the same key, at times. Yet they have experienced that change Ich we call death. tion after the great event . had taken Place. Tho most glorious music, If played con tlnuully, ceases to please the cur. The most appetising food loses Its tasto If continually taken, and life would pall upon tho happiest heart If it underwent no change of death. The- good swimmer enjoys his sea bath best when lightly clad. How much more delightful must be mo tion In spaco when tho body is cost aside. Wo have many bodies; tho physical one meant only for death. Tho nstral body, .meant only for the astral piano; tho desire body, which Is tho vehicle our emotions havo made, nnu which will eventually drop away, an tho others wlllt and lenvo,ua. lu. tho. spiritual body. In each of these bodies we will have1 new and wonderful experiences. And as we pass onward from piano to plane',, meeting those who have been dear to us on earth, und leurnlng new truths nnd gulnlng now powers, to help us when we again, uftor long periods of time, re turn to finish tho work wo leavo undone here now. Each of us ought to think of these things, calmly and with reverenco and with faith In Clod's great goodness; wo should, In the midst of all our pleasures and pursuits and amblttonB and occupa. tlons, give a little time every day to happy thoughts of that wonderful change called death; and. wo should know that Just as we think of It. and Just as we tlilnlc of llfo here, so will that life be to which death guides us. - We are. building our heavens (and our hells) as we pass along the cartli. Cheer fulness, hoi-, good will, generosity, patience, gratitude, love, reverence, Indus try, truthfulness, admiration of the beau tiful, tho seeking for beauty In nil things, order nnd system and harmony all these qualities .are stones which aro being laid In the mansion In tho skies which we win occupy. Anger, revenge, hate, 111 will, greed, and all tho other unlovely faults of humun nature., build hells for sduls to dwell In until they work their way out Into fairer realms. Choose your material with care, then, and glvo a llttlo time every day to. think ing your heaven Into shape, ready for the occupancy of your soul when It passes onwurd. And think of death as your great, good, beautiful guide, not as your hideous enemy. New Fur Effects for November j ' A New World Era In Moving Pictures My KDGAK LUCIKN LA UK IN".

Tho argument Pa had with the rich man was about the opportunities for a yung man to beecum rich. The rich man was at our hotel, & he was talking with Pa about my going to college. Pa thot that after I had went thru the publlck school he wud send me 9 o'clock at nite, & many a big deal has been put oaver the plate around mid nite. I dount think Napolyun wud have been much of a general If he had wont to bed every nlto at nine. Lincoln dldent go to bed every nite at nine, eether, sod Pa, eeven wen he wu a boy. He used to stay awake till erly In the morning sumtlmes, reeding books that he had borrowed. I doant care what Lincoln 'did, sed the rich man, I always went to bed at nine. Lincoln dldent have much money when he died. Neether did Julius Caesar, sed Pa. He piling them Into cords, that wud have been a pillar of the church If he had had u general store left to him.
