The San Francisco Stock Report gives
an account Of how "materialiZing
medium" WAS caught few evenings
ago in that city. A Mrs. Sawyer was
the medium, she went into cabinet
for few moments and then the spirit
walked out on the stage in very scant
wardrobe. a gentleman who had OBJ
tanned front seat suddenly sprang for
ward and in catching the spirit gfaSpcd
in his arms good solid hugful of
woman, with nothing on but her corSets
and chinese The little light there
was was quickly put out by Mrs. Saw
yesrs friends, but new light was pref
ty soon brought and the whole game
given away. Mrs. Sawyer promptly
owned up and further said she WAS as
good as anybody else in the business,
which we don't uoUbt. 1t is vile,
nasty humbug by which good many
men and women have been ruin d and
4 few mediums have gotten rich. We
wonder anybody would go near one of
their "seances,' but then come to think
of it, the fools are not ali dead.

Who Pay the Taxes ?


Richard Smith, Esq, editor of the Cincin

per cent of all the crimes in Cincinnati is
traceable TO the use of intoxicating liquors
also, that one-half of all the crime is caused
by the Incorporate use of Intoxicating
liquors on Sunday. Out of one hundred and
twenty-three saloon-keepers ON one street in
Cincinnati, sixty-one pay no taxes, and none
OF the rest pay more than thousand dol
lars each. Eighteen brewers in Cincinnati
pay 7,052,26, and three thousand saloons
pay S6,222 20, making an aggregate of Sl3,

Why Not E?

You are discouraged. Things have gone
wrong of late. Your business brings you
less money, and the cost of living has in
creased; your pew rent is unpaid, your
grocery bills are growing in amount, your
clothes are little shabby, and you are be-
ginning to lose heart You are beginning
to value your position and influence in the
community little less highly, to be little
careless where you were formerly exact and
punctual, to use here and there little de-
ception to defer creditor; in a word, you
are beginning TO go down hill and to care
very little about it, This is perious mo.
ment in your life, all the more so because
you are tired and sore discouraged. Loss
of heart is often the prelude to the loss of
character. Discouragement is the DEVILS
best ally in pulling men down, and when
you let it take possession you have already
invited the enemy to occupy the outworks,
and the fall of the citadel is sure to follow
unless the soul calls back its flying forces
and sounds charge along the whole line.
In Gods vocabulary there Is no such word
as fail, and there need be none in yours if
you follow his methods and use his Ian

nal purpose, aspiration and certainty lying
so high that not even passing cloud can
cast shadow over it; there are still purity
and integrity of life, the very things that
gave value to the external prosperity and
gain over whose loss you are mourning
there is the possibility of true, brave living /;
above all, there is the infinite and unchan-
ging God in whom men and women of greater
soul and capacity than you, and whose tri-
ais and sorrows have outweighed yours
hundred fold, have found consolation, cour-
age and perpetual renewal of strength,
1t is far more likely, however, that in your
case return of comfort and Independence
is still possible if you will only pluck up
courage and strike blow for Yourself.
Tomorrow will be another day." was the
favorite saying of an old king as he looked
back upon day of failure. Every morning
brings new opportunities to the birth, every
hour opens new door into a future stored
full OF treasure for industry, integrity and
faith. Take heart, then do not stink
away from the world, but face it with the
courage and resolution of man, and it will
soon make room for you. Take the first
opportunity, no matter how small, and work
it as if your life depended on it. 1t is al.
