happened that we soon became very
intimate, and were almost constantly
together, having adjoining staterooms
ON the upper deck. He told me that
his mother Was evidently q spirit
medium for several years before her
death. though perhaps it was not then

told her family that Mr.. c. (as
she always called her son.in- law would
one of these days be elected to the
highest Office in the United States

would probably find u rich theme in |
such a publication, they concluded it
would be best not 10 print the predic-
