LIVED FOR AGES.
Strange Story of Phra,
the P1eniCian.
One of the Most Wonderful Books
on Psychical Mysticism Ever
Written.

The transmigration Of souls is a subject
that has engrossed the mind of manhood
for centuries, and anything written on the
subject has astrange fascinating interest.
The more wonderful and improbable a
story the more the reader longs to feel
that it is true. There have been dozens of
stories on this order produced in the last
few years, but none have attracted more
general attention than "Pnra, the Php-
nician," by Edwin Lester Arnold.
That The book is a strange one none will
deny. but it is written in such a style
that the unreal becomes real. The open
ing scene is laid in Tyre. the queen city
of the ancient seas, and in the golden days
of leisure when the blacklegged ibis stood
sentinel among the blue lotus flowers of
temple ponds. 1t is there Phra first sees
the light of day and grows to manhood
and is given command of one Of his fathers
sailing vessels.
He starts out with the world before him,
full of magnificent possibilities. and from
that time on to the time OF Queen Eliza
beth dies and lives anew several times. He
goes through most of the strange positions
of life, being at different times friar, a
the time by Crecy, a damSel who similarly
renews ber life with his through different
periods of a thousand years.
The book is a remarkable one, and few
people can read the first few pages with
out being interested to the end. 1t Is full
of romance, history aud excitement
CALL readers can obtain this great work
for 10 cents and one coupon. Come around

LOOKS LIKE SEELY.
Chicago Police Think They Have
Made an important Capture.

CHICAGO, Dec. ll.--Central Station De
tectlves o'Donnell and Almendinger last
night arrested man whom they clsim Is
Samuel c. Seely, who is wanted in New
York for the embeEzlement OF SSN 900
from the National Shoe and Leather bank,
In which institution he was a bookkeepcr.
The prisoner asserted thar his name was
Frank J. Dale. Further than that, the
police who Questioned him closely for an,
hour. could get nothing from him lie re
fused absolutely to answer the questions
put to him.
The police say he bears 4 marvellous re-
semblance 20 Seely, the description of
the latter, as sent from New York, fitting
the prisoner exactly. The informatioi
upon which the officers made the arrest
was given them by young man, who
said he was in possession of information
TO show that Seely was living at t96 La
Sale avenue.
Officers O'Donnell and Almendinger
went with him TO boarding house kept
by Mrs. Clayton. The officers were shown
TO Dale's room. When the door was opened
one Of the officers said: "Well, how de-
you do, SamuelS" His salutation met
with no response. Dale stood seemingly
spellbound anSupable to speak, and his
face became pale
After few minutes he regained his
composnre somewhat, and said there must
be some mistake, as his name was Frank
j. Dale. lie made no resistance and ac-
companied the officers TO the Central po-
lice station. The police got very little
satisfaction out of him, and after an
hours hard work they had succeeded only
in ellcitlng the statements that his name
was Frank j. Dale and that he had been
in Chicago two weeks. He refused to say
anything about his previous life, or where
he had been before he came to Chicago

Tho Most Popular Spot In Trinity Church,
yard, New York.

A few days ago passersby in Broad
way, looking through the high fence
that surrounds Trinity churchyard, saw
q slender back gownod girl kneeling by
the grave OF Charlotte Temple. Her
bead was bowed in her hands, and she
seemed utterly lost to her surroundings
After awhile she arose with a very pale
face, walked swiftly through the gates
and disappeared in tho crowd. She was
snly one of many devotees at the shrine
Of the poor girl who died for love. No
body ever visits Trinity churchyard
wit.Aout pausing TO few minutes be-
fore the big brown slab that bears only
the name "Charlotte Temple. -
"Oh, yes" said the gray haired old
man whose duty it is TO see that the an
cient tombs arc kept in order 1T is the
most popular grave in the yard. / have
been here going on IL years now, and
there have been very few days in good
weather when the grave has not had
visitor. Several times | have seen wom-
en- come here and stand i'll the cold and
sleet and snow looking at the tomb.
Somehow they always look as if they
were in trouble.
"Seven or eight years ago,I began to
put potted flowers, geraniums and the
like on the grave, and have kept it up
every summer since. 1t is mainly to
mark the grave, so that VIII rfs can find
it. 1t is tho only grave in the yard that
has flowers on it. Otherwise the people
would bother me TO death. When they
ask me where the grave of Charlotte
Temple is now, simply tell them that
it is over on the west side with some
potted flowers on it. That saves me q
deal of trouble.
Several of the gravestones are crum-
bling badly and will have to be repaired
If the descendants of the dead want to
perpetuate their memory. See; here is
the oldest grave in the place"
Then the old man swept away layer
Of dust from "A crumbling gray stone and
showed the date, 1851. "We havo sew
eral that date almost as far back" said
he, "but none Of them is SO popular as
that of Charlotte Temple"
Then the ancient attendant tucked
his broom under his arm, picked up his
wheelbarrow and trundled away among
the graves New York Herald.
