He Expl[1iels!;;= S
Devils.

DR.. William D. Gentry, who con-
ducts mission in Chicago, claims to
have and to exercise the power of cast
ing out devils. He began the work, he
says three years ago when woman
brought to him an afflicted child. The
victim made kissing noise with it's
mouth and for time the doctor was
perplexed to know whether the evil
spirit in possession of the child was a
snake or a goose. He elected it, how
ever, and since then the doctor has
been in the devil-expelling business.
=. Or. Gentry, is a great believer in the
efficacy of prayer and relates one case
that was cured by supplication after
all medical means had failed. The doc
tor was then practitioner himself,
but since that time he has given up
his medical practice and has labored
to heal the sick with the power that
he claims has been conferred upon
him. He takes no stock in Christian
Science and unlike DoWie he has no
use for money. His services are free.
The doctor has a peculiar idea about
the part the sun plays in our planetary
system and it is worth quoting. He
says the sun has no heat, that it is as
cold as ice. s. ''The sum-" he continues,

nar WITH MS customary bow. She re-
turned the salutation silently, as she
Always did, and sat down to the type
writer. 1t struck Hamlin that her
eyes and Jaws looked more tired and
lean than usual, but this was natural
since she had been i'll.
With the silence that always :reigned
between them, unless ihroken by an
Imperative necessity, he showed the
batch of copying across to her and
leaned back. What a good thing it
was to be able to pay somebody else
to do ones drudgery. The thought
brought qualm of conscience. She
was not well and lit was 30 dashed hot.
"Shove me those mortgages, a pen
copy will do.''
Il intend to work after hours to
make :up for lost time ! will be able
to finish it ALL" the typewriter re-
sponded quietly.
Tom Hamlin got UP impatiently and
began moving about. He nad a sneak
ing sensation of being somewhat in
awe 0f this silent. absolutely upright
assistant. 1t was after office hours
and he was free to enjoy the drive he
had been longing for. She had key.
But HamEn lounged against the win
dow idly watching the swift fingers
flashing over the keys and fell to re-
viewing his dream again. SO vivid had
1t been that even now he could almost
feel the dashing of the spray. AS for
that other sensation slight pres
sure against his sleeve, it had been
with him ever since he awoke Oh,
well dreams are fantastic things HAM
lin looked for long moment at the
eiear-cut profile turned toward him
and then abruptly took down a book.
Were her eyes always like that, he
wondered, tired as though she = had
looked upon death and the dreariness
of it? Was it over-work or some
thing worse than work? If she should
look in reality upon that glorious bit
Of wild waters. would that jaded light
pass or would it deepen? Dash it all,
ment longer"
Excuse me. Is this correct?''
Hamlin's quick glance met the tired
eyes then dropped to paper on which
her pencil rested. There in his bold.
reckless hand her name smiled up at
him provokingly. He caught the pen
Gil from her and made hurried cor
rection while dark flush warmed his
brow. He detested a mistake.
The ceaseless clicking began again
and Hamlin read on as though his life
depended upon the contents of the
book. Had he done that fool thing
more than once? AS fate would have
it, scarcely ten minutes passed before
another sheet was at his elbow and
an inquiring pencil point rested ex.
asperatingly fmpassive upon. This
time Hamlin made the correction with
dignity and added with a desperate
SMILE: - *s.,-,>. --s.,..--5> ?.

sheets, seem to be determined to

From time to time his pencil de-
scended with vicious dash and the
dark red on his brow deepened. At
last, when he felt cooler, he showed
the sheets across to her and glanced

has been blazing mass since the cre-
alton of the world. The absurdity of
such statement is self-evident. How
can anything keep on burning and not
be consumed? The sun. was burned
out ages ago. It furnishes US light
simply by acting as reflector for the
myriads of worlds in the armament.
whence comes the worlds heat,
then, you ask, and what causes the
change of seasons? Part of the
worlds heat comes from it's interior,
which is blazing and liquid state.
The rest of the heat comes from it's
atmosphere, which is brought into
friction with the various stratas
through which the revolutions of the
world carry it. These stratas vary,
and it is owing to their variance that
we have the changes in temperature
and in seasons.
I'm time this mass of fire in the
interior of the earth is going to de-
stroy it. There is a constant change
going on in the physical aspect of the
earth, due to this fire, but the trouble
Is that observers do not attribute them
to the proper cause. The Bible says
that the earth shall perish by fire, and
this prophecy, to my mind;* refers to
the internal fires of the world"
A man soon forgets his faults when
they are known only to himself.

!. A New
E]ldorado

On the northeast borders Of Upper
sBurmah is a land where the chief ar
}dcles Of commerce are gold dust, am
sber. rubies and jadestone. Trade must
take on peculiarly fascinating aspect
where the articles dealt in are such as
these. A pork-packing establishment
IN Chicago is much more to be desired
from a commercial standpoint than a
ruby mine in this Kachinland, as the
place is called, but how much more
romantic and dazzling the Kachin
property sounds when you talk about
it 1T is a. wild land from. which the
fubies, the jade, the gold and the am
berHcome, and is Inhabited by a. wild
and, savage people, who work the prec-
'ous deposits Of the country in prim1-
i've manner. But the British are in
bhere now, and it is only question Of
time: when the far-on region will be
exploited for all it is worth. This Jade,
Or jadeite, is dug out of a mountain in
one place and in another it is found at
che bottom OF a river ,and the natives
dive for it from RATS. This jade is
translucent and varies in colors from
a creamy white through different
shades to a delicate green. The Chi
nese use it extensively for vases: rings,
bracelets, ETC., and make beautifully
carved ornaments out of it. One va
r1ety of jade they call "kingfshers'
plunes," on account of it's coloring.
The finest jade in the world comes
from this almost unknown Kachinland,
and bands of Chinese merchants are
constantly coming and going, bringing
cloth, ETC., which they barter for the
glittering products of the country. The
rubies the Kachins get by digging into
the hillsides, and the gold dust by
washing It out OF the sands Of the
streams. This land is the home of the
pigeons blood" rubies, which are
found also to some extent further south
between Kachinland and Mandalay,
where the flying fishes play" But no
rubies are so pure. and beautiful in
color as those Of Kachinland. Since

streams of this wonderful country it
is probable that there are stores of

gold in the mountains which have
waited through the centuries to be dug
out. Rubber trees grow in this region
and all manner of valuable woods are
in the forests. The British have been
in nominal control of Kachinland for
some years. but never have really oc-
cupied the country. Every now and
then an expedition has to be dispatched
there to restore order and to remind
the natives that they are British sub
jects; but civilization never yet has
penetrated through the mountains and
the dense forests to this land Of rub1es,
gold dust and jadestone. Nearly all the
trade of the country is carried on with
the Chinese; but the government OF
India now has it in mind to open up
the country to trade with Burmah and
hence with the rest of the world. It is
a. virgin field for exploitation, and in
these days, when. no corner of the
earth is neglected in the search for
riches, Kachinland cannot long escape
the general fate. of all rich regions. Al
ready Britishers have visited Kachin-,
land to spy out the country and blaze
the way for the army of exploiters
which will come later. The latest
news of this strange country has been
brought back by Captain w. s. Eardly
Howard, British officer OF Punjabees,
who lately returned from a trip to the
Kachin Hills. In the Wide World Mag
azine he gives an account of the curious
people who live among the rubies and
the jade and tells of their many curl
Gus customs. Slavery exists there, and
the natives are exceedingly supersti-
tious. ''The members of village"
says the captain, seldom cultivate
more cereals than are required for
their own consumption, but barter
among themselves guns, gongs, slaves,
ETC., although they are rapidly acquir-
ing an appreciation of our coinage and
methods of trade"
