Irreverence; "what tribe did you belong to
before you croaked!" "Me Sioux Indian"
was the reply.
The scene that followed was particu.
iarly interesting one. The young man got
on his feet and launched forth cultural
avalanche of sound that seemed to coms
from his boots. The medium looked dunn
founded and made no attempt to reply.
The young man turned to one of his
friends and said: "May be this Indian un-
derstands another dialect of tho same ma
tion. I'll try it, anyhow" Again did he
gable like a man with hsh -bone in his
throat, but it had no other effect than to
make Mrs. Powell shivcr, blink her wa,e
eyes, and suddenly come out OF the
trance. She effected not to know
what had taken place, and when
informed, Llandly explained that, as the
spirits were compelled to use another or
ganism to convey their ideas, the in livi1-
uality of that organism was to some ex-
tent absorbed, hence the difficulty an
Indian spirit found in speaking his own
language through the vocal organs of q
person not conversant with the languages.
The young man sighed sadly and said
nothing. To divert their minds Mrs.
Powell introduced her son and his slate
and his wonderful finger. He went
through the slate writing performance
after his finger had been washed with or
dinary soap and water and wrote a moral
lecture about something or other and
signed it "Tecumseh." AS he placed his
finger on the slate one of the skeptics
noticed that he always scratched himself
on the back of the neck first. and this
same skeptic, On comm closer, discovered
just under the medium's ear some minute
speoks sticking to his flesh.
Under pretense Of whispering some-
thing in Powell's ear the skeptic with a
moistened finger removed one of these
visible particles and found it to be q speck
OF slate pencil. Nothing was said ut tn,
time, and Powell probably never knew
that the trick was discovered. Mrs. Powell
then went into another trance and pro-
tended to become possessed by tho spi /:
