commonly to be done, but Leo will not

Catholic Literature.
The vatican is naturally we'll supplied
with Catholic papers, but the Pope reads
to the pontitical palace through an in

his own name. Many Of these papers
certainly do not know that their real sub

telling them that Leo reads without
glasses not in the manner Of those that
are far-sighted, but nearly so. The light
he prefers in the evening is the gentle
dies: but he has only to press a burton
in his chair to have electric light, for
electricity was put in his bedroom three
years ago. However, he seldom uses it.
One Of his oddities is to have himself
locked in by Contra when the latter
him in the night he rings a bell and it
takes Contra five minutes to go from
the room he sleeps in to the Pope's cham
Der. If one asks what is the duty of
the two servants who sleep in the room
next to the Pope's, the answer is that
their sole mission is to call Contra.

who have real affection for him deolore

STORMS ARE FREAKISH.
Lightning Preferably Strikes Locust
Trees Say Observing
Farmers.

The death of a number of persons dur
ing the storms of this summer, through
being struck by lightning while taking
shelter under locust trees, has called at
tention to general belief among inhab-
itants of rural regions that locust trees
are peculiarly susceptible to lightning.
Throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio,
where locust trees are plentiful, the farm
ers assert that if there is any lightning
playing in the vicinity of such trees dur
ing a storm the bolt:is sure to hit them
in preference to- other Trees No scien-
tific explanation has been offered for this
curious thing, but those who are familiar
with the fact assert that it is neverthe-
less true.
"A locust tree is as good as lightning

radius of 100 feet, 1 have planted cir

the lightning during a storm and give i'm

What Records Show.
Gin nine cases out of ten you will find
that it was locust tree under which
they sought shelter. That is merely the
law of averages working out, because
locust trees are very popular in the coun-
try. They are raised extensively, and
for shade or wood in nine cases out of
ten he plants the locust. Why? Well.
in the first place the locust grows more
rapidly than other varieties. In fifteen
years a locust attains a fair size, when it
may be used for many purposes. For
fence posts the locust has no superior
and most farmers plant them for this
grow so rapidly, the locust trees are yalu-
able ones to plant in field to give shade
to cattle or harvesters."
A man who lived in a rural community
in the Monongahela valley for many
years contributed the following to the
| locust-tree propositions:
"Some distance from my home," said
he, "there stood line of big locust trees.
They always protected the house from

Every Other Tree Struck.

ISMAR.
KIDNAPPED
ISmar, the gypsy, Locates the
Parents Of Alice Weber
of San Francisco.

From time to time there have been ap-
pearing in this paper accounts Of the
wonderful workings of Ismar, the famous
Egyptian seeress. But perhaps nothing
has so clearly demonstrated Ismar's pow
ers as what she has accomplished for
Alice Weber, a San Francisco saleslady.
Following is Miss Weber's own story,
which she related to a reporter before
leaving for Melbourne. Australia:

that my family had met with financial re-
verses since my abduction. With this in

store and by attending strictly to busi-
ness was advanced to the position Of
buyer for my department. Having read
so much In the newspapers Of IsmarS
wQoderful powers, / decided to call upon
this famous seeress at her office, 114S Mar
ket, street, opposite Sixth street.
''Ismar read my past like an open book,
and among many other things she told
me that my father was dead and that my
mother had married again and was living
in Melbourne. Australia, at the present
time. and that l would be with her before
the end of the present year. An answer
to a letter addressed TO my mother in
Melbourne has proved to me the correct
ness of all IsmarS statements, even to
the fact that they had moved there from
Montreal. Canada"
Away off in Australia an anxious moth
er awaits the arrival of the vessel bring
ing her long-lOst daughter home. Miss
Webers last words were that Ismar has
the next place in her heart after her
mother.
To one and all, no matter what your
troubles be, come to ISmar. She will tell
you what you want to know and set your
affairs Alright. whether they be business or
family ones. Ismar can be consulted daily
from 10 a. m. to p. m; Sundays from 10
to 12 at her office, 114S Market street, two
doors below WeinStock & Lubin's.
