A DOG WHO DIDN'T Go,tF.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The first contest of the crack players
of newly opened golf field out West
was sadly interrupted by the obstinate
conduct of mean bull terrier. He
took possession Of the second hole.
and defied dislodgment. AS he is q
obust terrier, with full set of large
and well preserved teeth, it was
deemed unwise to attempt to dislodge
him by force. Diplomacy was substi-
Stuted, but it didn't work. He resisted
all the usual terms of endearment, as
well as the promises of tender steaks
and seductive bones. In addition to
guarding the hole, he took possession
of ball that happened to roll near
him, and which he worried from time
to time with low cultural remarks.
& At last accounts the dog was still

golfers were debating whether they

REINCARNATlON OF MAN

Z q tEg i. 55hF
Where are in Theosophy two central
doctrines es-the doctrine Of Reincarna
tion, and the doctrine Of Karma. The
flrst is startling, the second soothing;
both are so eminently rational that
conviction almost certainly follows
comprehension. says a writer in be-
half Of the new theory Of life. Both
are rooted in the profound fact OF eVo--.
aution (of which science has seen a
part) the fact that all life expands and
rises from poor and low to rich and
high plateauX.
Stronger than woe is will; that which.
was Good
Doth pass to- Better Best.
THE doctrine Of reincarnation is
that each man dwells in the flesh not
once. but often. His internal, inde-.
structible self comes again and again
into earth life, each time In a different
race. family, condition, SO that he is
confronted sueeessiyely with every
form OF test and experience, assimi1at-
ing into that Self the essence Of each
