The little Red Stamp.


I'm the little red stamp with George
Washington's picture;
| have the right of way;
And the mail train thunders from under
the stars
And rattles into the day.
Now clear the rail for your Uncle Sans
mail;
Ye freight trains stand aside!
SPUR your iron-lunged horse to his fullest
speed,
For the little red stamp would ride.
SO vomit your flame on the startled night
And your smoke in the face of the day;
For the little red stamp with George
Washlngton's picture
Must have the right of way.
The engine plows. when l start on my ride,
Through the drifted banks of snow;
But we hasten to climes where the rivers
melt
And climes where the roses bhw.
First the pines of Maine, thenSle Kansas
plain,
Then whiffs from the western bay,
Till 1 drop in the hands that have reached
for me
A thousand leagues away.
Pull open the throttle and loose every
brake,
And dash through the night and the day;
For the little red stamp with George
washington picture
Must have the right of way.
I'm the little red stamp with George
Washington's picture,
And go wherever may,
To any spot in George Washington's land;
And go by the shortest way.
And the guns Of wrath would clear my
path,
A thousand guns at need,
OF the hands that should dare to block my
course
Or slacken my onward speed
Stand back! Hands off of Uncle Sans
mail!
Stand back therei Back! say:

The city Census

The work of type-writing the city CEN
sus is fairly under way, and 1t is esti-
mated that 1t will take the three young
women who have the contract some
thing like fifteen days to complete the
Job. After starting in on the work the
operators found they had taken it too
low to make anything like living wages,
and wanted to throw up the contract,
but the committee raised the price to
within one-tenth of a cent below the
next lowest bidders, and with this they
were satisfied. AS It is. they will not
get rich.
AS the work progresses numerous
small errors are discovered. some in
creasing the number and some reduc-
ing 1t, SO that 1t will be impossible to
give the official figures until the ac-
count is complete and checked. The
committee does not think that the total,
however, will vary much from the fig
ures as estimated, 101, 300.

UNSEEN BODIES OF MEN
MRS. BEsANr DEscANTs UPON
THEM
Their influence for Good and Evil
Graphically Set Forth and
Illustrated .-

Mrs. Besant opened her lecture at the
Los Angeles theater last night on Man
His Invisible Bodies. and the Power
of Thought" by quoting the Grecian
sage who said Man should know him
SELF" AS in the physical world, vibra-
tions of color and sound bring into exist
ence forms that are expressions Of num-
ber, so are thought forms, produced by
the vibrations Of the thinking faculties
of the soul, and they are governed blythe
same laws.
With word on physical forms and
bodies, Mrs. Besant turned directly to
the astral and heavenly bodies, those
that are unseen and unseeable, save to
the trained oculist. Every law in ma
ture is an expression of the divine nature
and the same principles obtain In the
astral or heavenly worlds as do in the
physical. The matter in superphyeical
or astral body Is finer all through than
the physical, and astral vibrations OF
feelings, sensations and emotions only
when definitely organized and controlled
can serve the soul. In the mental world
again there is body whose vibrations
are called thoughts. :.
All bodies are builded by vibrations
and If the emotion and thought vibra-
tions are trained the building of noble
body and mind and soul is the result
which becomes more effective and ef-
fectual in the world. Every body Is q
magnet and attracts and generates
either nobility or evil. Thoughts of an
ger, revenge, resentment are force tow
ard crime and in the scale Of eternal
justice man is judged more by his
thoughts than by his actions. No man
acts wrongly save as evil thinking gen.
crates the force, and all who think evil
share in an evil action.
For nearly two hours Mre. Besant held
the close attention Of her audience while
she expressed in her choice and ready
vocabulary, temperately and forcefully
the explanation that the Theosophists
have for many. things that seem mys-
terious in life, and with, number Of
|stereopticon pictures she illustrated ai
she talked, the emotions Of love, hatred
revenge, devotion, selfshress. as rep
PRESENTED In the astral body. and various
thought forms that, according to the
speaker are very tangible and powerful
agents for good and bad in the universe
In closing part Of the Sermon on. the
Mount was quoted: Return good fol
evil and overcome evil with good," which
Mrs. Besant said was what Buddha had
taught ages before, and was after all the
strongest hope for the salvation of man
Tomorrow evening she will speak ir
the Friday Morning club rooms on Man
the Master of His Destiny" and Thurs.
day afternoon at 8 o'clock. in Odd Fellow
hall on Life After Death"
