He read just enough to make sure he was right, and then with an
exclamation of horror he rushed out of the office, followed by me.
Through grated doors, long, dismal corridors, and a court-yard, we ran,
and coming to a little, red brick house, he broke open the frame door
with a crash, and hurried inside, only to find that we were just a
minute too late.'"
"After a fit of sobbing, Arletta Wright quieted herself long enough to
say: 'Telegraph the news to all parts of the civilized world that the
State of New York has just murdered the noblest mortal of which history
has ever made mention. Tell the inhabitants that through his teachings a
new dispensation has sprung into existence, and that Sagemanism is born
again. Publicly announce my firm belief in the beautiful principles of
Natural Law, and say that henceforth I renounce all further allegiance
to a religion which permits the strong to victimize the weak, and
upholds a corrupt and unnatural system, which allows schemers, thieves,
gamblers, sneaks, loafers, spongers, and all other kinds of human
parasites to grow fat off the labors of those who toil. Say that I shall
take up the work where John Convert left off, and devote the remainder
of my life and all of my wealth towards the cause he advocated.'"
(THE END.)
STRAY SHOTS
The foundation of humbug is faith.
The light of the universe is reason.
Better be an unselfish dog than a selfish man.
Advice is cheap, so always give the best.
To exhibit temper is to demonstrate insanity.
