\£?o(Y)en rsmreßfrvs WILL AND HEREDITY By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX t Once upon a time I |I put an idea as old jas Qod, and as large as the universe, into simple and compact form for the benefit of the ordinary mind, just as a homeopathist puts Strom? medicines Into small pills for the benefit of those who cannot, or will not, assimilate big doses of drugs. Here is my poetical pill: I] Dut from the tomb crept Vice with hideous leer. 1 am Heredity," he cried, "whom all men fear! ; sleep, but die not. When fate calls . I come. fcnd generations at my touch suc cumb." V lofty shape rose sudden in his path, t cried, "You lie!" and struck at him In wrath. leredity, the braggart, stark and still, 'ell prostrate at the feet of Mighty Will. Now comes a protest from a physl lan. He says: "I write you because I believe your alth to be wrong, in direct antagon sm to the grand idea of an omniscient j ind omnipotent Creator, and more-! iver, because I believe that Its unlver- j al acceptance would lead to untold, suffering, disease and death. This! nuch science teaches me." Doctor Protests in Verse In order to prove his "grand" idea j if an omniscient and omnipotent Crea- | or. I am sorry to say, the good doctor i lent me a whole page of his protest • n verse, of which one stanza will suf- i ice to show his creed: feel this. Will: Though seeming dead at your bold stroke.

Or bless it with noble minds and hearts like oak. I have know scores of human beings who were yoked like cattle to their load of belief in the hopelessness of their inheritance, and who "died as the fool dieth," either physically or mor ally, because they EXPECTED to. I know a woman to-day who be lieves she "inherited" consumption through two generations of ancestors, and who is faithfully inviting it to make her the third victim. But there are others, whom it is a greater inspiration to know. One is a robust woman of GO, the only survivor of a family of consump tives. At 16 she was declared to be in the grasp of the disease. One day she fell to thinking, and God "illuminated" her mind with a great truth. She said to herself: "If 1 inherit bodily disease from my parents, do I not inherit divine health from God? He made my soul, and He must wish me to be well! I will be." She began to breathe. Until this time she had used only a few cells of her lungs—afraid of the fresh air because she "inherited'' weak lungs. Then she practiced gentle calis thenics and increased the exercises gradually. She took no medicines be cause she had all her life taken them to no avail. She believed In her di vine right to health, and she obtained robust health. No matter what we do not know of God and the beginning, this we do know—that some Intelligence greater than the mind of man conceived and executed this tremendous and glorious scheme of worlds. It Overcomes All Disease Every part of the universe Is a part of that cause. Every star has a purpose; every hu man life has a purpose. The star knows and obeys; man ignores and rebels. But once let him know and obey and TWO DIE IX SHORT TIME Special to The Telegraph Dallastown, Pa., May 12.—Yester day the second death in the family of | George and Ida Finney within two weeks occurred. The first was that of j Ellen, a 15-year-old daughter, of tu berculosis of only a few months dura- I tion, and the second that of Malvin, a 6-year-old son. The latter was af j t'ected with a bealing in the head, [which started about a week ago. t Ab- Isence from home of the father has made the strain a severe one on the | mother, who has been helped by rela j tives and friends. RANK STOCK SELLS HIGH Special to The Telegraph I Dillsburg, Pa., May 12. —At the last | regular meeting of the directors of the Dillsburg National Bank a semi annual dividend of 3\k per cent, was declared on the capital stock. This bank is the oldest financial institution in Dillsburg and has a capital stock of $60,000 and a surplus of over one half of this amount. The stock of this bank, par value of which is SIOO per share, has sold recently l'or $l6O per share. realize his higher heredity and live up to It, and he becomes a part of om nipotence. He is a crown prince thereafter and helps direct his own destiny. In spite of the protest of my corre spondent, I do not think this belie* is pernicious, or that Its acceptance can lead to "disease and death." Quite the contrary. I know that it over comes disease, poverty and misery when It is persisted In. As for death, that Is only a part of eternal life, and we do not want to overcome it. Therefore doctors and medicines have their place in the world. Men will need physicians until they learn their true relation to nature. Then they will know how to heal them selves. It is a beautiful thing to die, but it is a terrible thing to be sick, poor and miserable while you live. Let man learn that he is heir to health, happiness and plenty. They are his. They belong to every one of us. Let every soul whose eye scans these lines believe he is to be well, happy and prosperous, because it is his right. Expect it and work for It. It will be done through you, not for you. Is a Divine Inheritance The woman who cured consumption breathed and exercised while she de clared health was her divine inherit ance. There is no noble height thou canst not climb; All triumphs may be thine in Time's futurity If, whatso'er thy fault, thou dost not faint or halt, But lean upon the staff of God's security. Earth has no claim the soul cannot contest; Know thyself part of that Eternal Source, And naught can stand before they spirit's force— The soul's divine Inheritance is best. TWO BARNS BURNED Special to The Telegraph Dal last own, Pa.. May 12.—Two large barns and two sheds on the farm of John Warner, a short distance south of here, were destroyed by fire yester day aftenoon, involving a. loss of over $5,000.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH GASTUBE EXPLODES AT EAGLES'HOME Damage to Extent of SI,OOO Done to New Building at Carlisle Special to The Telegraph Carlisle, Pa., May 11.—An explosion of a tube of gas used to carbonate water for use in the buffet caused over SI,OOO damage at the new home of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. The en tire rear wall of the house was blown awa? and the buffet and adjacent rooms partially demolished. Spontaneous combustion is believed to have caused the explosion, which was so severe that it was heard at points over a mile distant from the home. The steward, Stephen Mart, had left the room a short time pre viously, and it is believed thereby es caped death, as pieces of the tube blew to nil parts of the room. One portion, over a foot in diameter, torn out the rear door and was partially imbedded in the wooden door jamb. The tube has been in the home since April 19. A meeting will be held on Thurs day evening to assess the amount needed for repairs, which it is believed will be over SI,OOO.

"Snookem's Birthday" and "Fickle Mary Jane" is one of those comic pictures which this the ater has the reputation of showing "Across the Danger Line" is a four-act war picture full of excitement. "Ashes of the Past" is a beautiful two-reel picture which holds the audience from beginning to end.—Advertisement. AT THE COLONIAL Music, mirth and beauty all have their fling at the clever vaudeville offering that holds forth at the Colo nial for the first half of the week. Music, however, and real music a\ that, is probably the hill's greatest as set. It is provided by the Guatamalian Mirarnba Band, six virtuosos of a sweetly resonant instrument, con structed very much like a xylophone, only sweeter and more subdued in tone. The members of the band play sweetly and muchly and everybody is delighted. Their program ranges from opera to popular and stops at all the way stations. The comedy of the bill is supplied by Murphy and Kearnev, a duo of singing comedians, in very laughable patter and parodies, while the beuaty is added by the Perry Sis ters. nice-appearing girls, in a neat song and dance specialty. An excel lent Lubin feature film entitled "The Inventor's Wife" will be a special fea ture of to-day's picture program.—Ad vertisement. PALACE THEATER At the Palace to-day the second se ries of "Lucille'Love, the Girl of Mys tery," Is being shown along with the regular program. For to-morrow an Eclair two-reel drama of the land of Pharaoh, "In the Shadow of the Mosque,' will he shown, which is stir ring, unique and impelling. In this film the Eclair has given us a powerful drama of the Far East, splendidly acted and capably produced amid wonderful desert scenery. The photography is superb and some of the scenes, deeply toned, are remarkable In their strength and vigor. We are given an intimate insight into the Arabian customs and nature, and the strange fatalism of the East that seems to be an inborn attitude of its people, is made one of the interesting themes of the play. One is bound to enjoy it for its novelty and freshness. Augustus Carney and Gale Henry will al,so be shown in a rip-roaring comedy, "When Universal Ike Set." Vivian Prescott and Charles DeForrest will also be featured in two Crystal remedies, "An Up-to-date Cook" and "Three Men and a Girl." —Advertise- ment. Special Sunday Exercises at Camp Hill Church Special to The Telegraph Camp Hill. Pa., May 12. —tin Sun day the Church of God held special exercises in honor of Mothers' Day. The church was artistically decorated with festoons, the color scheme being purple and white, a large streamer was supended from the ceiling bearing the motto, "In Honor of the Best Mother Who Ever Lived—Your Own." At 9.30 the Sunday school rendered a carefully arranged program of reci tations and readings, together with some quaint old songs mother sang in bygone days. Without a break in the service, the Sunday school remained in session through what was the regular church service, at which time the pas tor, the Rev. G. B. M. Reidell, made a strong address on "Motherhood." At the close a handkerchief salute was given to mother. The attendance jumped from 61 the first Sunday In the year to 129, and the special offering at the Sunday school session toward purchasing a piano amounted to over S4O. Samuel Curran, the new superin tendent of the Sunday school, has by hard work since the first of the year greatly Increased the attendance and has added much needed equipment to the school. New curtains, chairs and other furniture have been bought, classes rearranged and teachers' meet ings instituted. New literature and singing books have also been pro cured.

In a surprisingly large number of cases it has destroyed all trace of hair so that it has neveh returned. In fact 1 must caution my readers that it must not be applied to hair that they do not wish totally destroyed. It Is called "Mrs. Osgood's Wonder," being named for a well known woman who arranged for it to be put on the mar ket after it had succeeded in entirely eradicating all trace of her own very distressing growth of hair on chin, lip and arms, which everything else had failed to touch.
