A Warning From Spiritiand.

William Garrard of Beaver Falls who
is Noted for being the man who fsrt ma
nufactured steel in the United States, he
having, with his brother, in 1882, built
litt's works on the banks of the Ohio, at
Cincinnati, and there made the first
steel west of the Alleghanies and in No
yember of that year converted it into
saw blades and fine steel bars for razors
and pocket cutlery, is firm believer in
Spiritualism. He claims to have fire.
quently held converse with the inhabi-
tants in the other world. A few days
ago, wishing to ascertain, if possible, the
date Of his death, he wrote the question
on paper and placed it in bureau draw
er and locked it up securely. placing the
key in his pocket. On the next day he
went to the drawer and the paper was
gone, but in its stead was a piece of pa
per or parchment, the like of such as was
never seen before, and on it was written
in faint but beautiful characters this
message from the spirit land: "Your de-
mise will take place. in one year, four
months, two weeks and three days; be ye
ready" A calculation of the time puts
the date on the 18th. day Of November,
1887. The old gentleman accepts the
communication in perfect faith, and is
calmly making his preparations to leave
this world on the day and date above de-
scribed. He makes no secret of what he
has learned, but tellsit to all his acquain-
tances. Although in his S2nd year he is
perfectly sound. both mentally and ply
slcally, and walks and talks with the
strength Of many healthy man Of half
his age.

A Kiss Protector.
Coatesvlle (Pa.) Times.

A Coatesville girl has steady company
in the person Of young man who is for
ever and forever a-kissingher. She likes
q share of this sort Of sweetmeats, but
quite frequently it pals on her taste.
He invited her to ride the other moon
light night and she accepted. fully req
lizing that she would be made the tar
get Of no end Of oculatory practice. Out
on the road, in the moonlight, the young
man handed her the reins, placed his arms
about her waist and then drew nearer to
her. She said nothing. Handing back
the lines, from somewhere beneath her
wrap she drew out q baseball catcher's
mask, strapped it to her face and reached
out for the lines.

A DEVILISH CONTRI-
VANCE.
A Detectives Description of
an Anarchists Deadly
Inve ltion.

A special .r,m Boston Mass. says: Su-
peIintenG IN. Cornish, OF the PinkertOn
let. ti-o agency, furnishes long ex-
pose of the secret workings of the Anar-
chists Of Chicago, which he says have
been thoroughly explored by the Pinker-
ton force. Parsons, Mr.. Cornish says,
was One Of the firm to act "a red-hOt
anarchist; he soon took Spies into his
council. While in Grief's saloon one
night Cornish heard Mrs. Parsons make
a violent speech in which she advocated
hurlir ? bombs a. the residences of the
wealthy citizens of Chicago. Spies told
them that lie haG better plan which was
as follows
Let every man arm himself with lit
tie syringe just large enough to be con-
cealed In the close hand. The point Of
the syringe should be just as small and
fine as that of needle so that it can
easily penetrate the clothing and skin.
The bulb of the syringe must be filled
with prussic acid. and then it is all ready
for business. Armed with this you can
walk up along side Of the capitalist to be
removed, quickly insert the needle point
through his clothes and into his flesh and
at the same time squeeze the bulb,
sending, the prussic acid into his
veins. The victim would not mind the
attack any more than he would notice a
slight prick Of pin or the bite of a flea,
bit the poison would kill him in q very
NV minutes and his death would be h0r-
.ipie one. lie would not know, and il did
Ee could not tell what had been done to
him. This ingenious, death-dealing
scheme was greeted with acclamatiOns
Of approval and applause by all who
were present including Parsons, Fielden,
and a man named Durney.
Coz sh gives at considerable length
the history Of various groups of socialists
in the city and details the experiments
with dynamite which were made by
Schwab and Fisher; the establishment Of
the alarm as Parsons suggestion, and
then gives the places of meeting Of each

which on May 4were in existence In Chi

a half dozen other organizations which

The smoke became so thick that

the poop deck and lower mizzen rig

four fathoms OF small rope coiled in
his left hand. Springingfrom a gun to

Edmund Kean.

On the Goth of January, 1914 an.
obscure country actor, named Ed
mund Kean, who had been engaged in
sheer desperation, a very model of a
strolling player, shabby, almost shoe
less, whom the mediocrities treated at
rehearsal with unconcealed contempt,
appeared at Drury Lane as Shylock to,
an Indifferent and half-flled house,
but when the curtain fell upon the
fourth act it was upon such burst OF
wild enthusiasm as had not been heard
since the night Siddons played Isa-
bella for the first time before a London
audience. The next day all London
was ringing with the fame OF the new
actor. Richard was his next i1nper-
sonation. "Just returned from seeing
Kean In Richard t." wrote Byron in
his diary. "By Jove, he is soul!
Life, nature, truth, without exaggera-
ton or diminution.' Coleridge said
it was reading Shakespeare by flashes
of lightning. The receipts rose from

He had almost taken her life away,
and SO he gave his own life up to her,
and they grew to love each other
with love that was passionate in
its greatness.
When many years had passed, and
they were left alone, they neither of
them were married, but lived togeth-
er t1ll they grew almost old. She was
a little delicate thing, and he was tall
and strong. He used, even when she
was quite a woman to. carry her
about in his arms.
They came to have the same
Thoughts about most things. They
were very happy, though he perhaps
WAS little graver than other people.
But she was as bright always as
bird.
"What have to be sad about?"
she sometimes said to him. 81 might
have all kinds OF trouble if had been
like other women; but now l have
none. You never let me bear any
thing; you never let me want for any
thing; | have only to i've and enjoy
and be content
And SO she did live-all her innocent
quiet life-hardly ever seeming to miss
the things that she had lost, like a
Gagged bird that does not know the
world, and has no longings to spread
its wings.
"She was the center of all the world
to me- Norman Foster said once
when death came at last and parted,
for it was she who went first "she
was everything to me-mother and
sister and wife and friend in one"
He was not thinking OF the bitter
ness that had mingled with his love
for her once when he spoke SO; he had
ceased perhaps then to dwell on the
harm he had once done her, and had
come only to remember that they had
walked all through their lives togeth-
err, like children, hand in hand.

TIE RIVER OF LIFE.

BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.
The more we 1--we, m ore brief appear
Our Lies succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems q year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone carrent OF our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its CLASSY borders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars that measure life to man.
Why seem youricourses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath
And life itself is rapid,
Why as we near the falls OF Death,
Find we its tioe more rapid?
Itmay be strange, yet who would change
Tines course 80 slower speeding,
When one by one, our friends havegone
And left our bosom bleeding?
Heaven gives our years offading strength
Indemnifying teetness;
And those OF youth a seeming length.
Proportional to their sweetness.
