Almost the first thing learned in
Theosophy is that there is no death.
Over and over again it is put to him
that so-called death is only the cast
ing aside of one of the garments
which the soul has assumed with
which to gain earthly experience.
There is communion with the saints
in Theosophy-fellowship with the
Sons of God. The longer he studies
and the deeper he goes the o is
he assured that this is only likely
hypothesis.
Again, for himself, trouble takes
on an appearance that would have
startled him, had it been presented
to him before he heard of T~heosophy Y.
First, he bore his troubles in life be-
cause he was compelled. They were
inevitable and he summoned what
ever grace or fortitude, be it little or
much, he could command. Next, a
church stepped in and told him that
a God, who managed human affairs,
had made him after such a pattern
that he needed all the sorrows that
fell to his lot, in order to fit him to
appear in Gods presence. Next
came the Diyine Wisdom, Theoso-
ply and taught him, that the sor'
rows, as well as the struggles and
joys of life, were opportunities offered
by which he might test his strength,
by the meeting of which and man,
fully making use of them, his soul
would grow into the full statue OF
one of the brothers of Christ, the
elder Brother in the human family.
The trials of life taken from the
view points of Theosophy are lifes'
privileges privileges which, If eta

HALF A CENTURY.
Prominent Politician Is Convinced

A frOninent folltICldn IS COnVlnced
 At a recent club dinner given by news, paper men at Washington, the convcraa ton turned upon the subject of testimo- nials and their value in newspaper ad- vertising. 'I do not believe" said q prominent politician who was present that one newspaper testimonial in a hun dred is genuine
 The owner of one of the largest news papers in the country was present and took up the subject vigorously, finally agreeting to let his opponent select any testimonial in his paper and wagering to establish its genuineness to the politi- clans satisfaction.
 Quite by accident the case of Mir. New ton K. Young ef Pennington. N. J.. was selected. He had been comple tely cured of a case of hemorrhoids, or piles, by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. The politician was especially s<eptical regarding this case, as it was alleged that MT. Young was a man over eighty years of age and had been cured of piles after fifty yeai s of awful suffering and when all other remedies had failed. It was agreed that the politician should write to MT. George Scarborough, ,Ph. G.. a prominent resident of Pennington and that the result of the controversy should rest upon his re- ply The following was MT. Scarborough S answer:

WHITE HOUSE DINNERS.
That DesoIate Other Tables In Wash
 Inqton.

William c. Curtis's Washington Letter
 in the Chicago Record-Herald.
 President Roosevelt is creating a great , deal of commotion by his dinners. and has already made a heap of trouble for other hospitable people in this town. Those who give fashionable dinners find 1t necessary to send out the invitations three or four weeks in advance in order to get the people they want and 1t is not uncommon for some of the smart set to fix a list of dates at the beginning of the season covering two or three months, and ask their friends for those evenings. This is a great satisfaction to everybody concerned, and is becoming more and more the proper form. A popular socie- ty woman can turn to her engagement book today and tell where sh will dine every night next month.
 An invitation to the White House, like an invitation from an emperor, is com mand and must be accepted. No excuse except death or sickness will answer. Other engagements that conflict have to be cancelled. Hence when the president sends out his invitations only a few days in advance he sometimes creates a great deal of trouble and confusion by asking people who have already promised to dine elsewhere One night last winter SNiieiAoi cilu tllo WILL llelu lllNilSu lWtlNt of the most prominent men of both houses of congress. with their wives, to dinner. The day before the hostess be- gan to receive notes, reading, "I am very sorry. but ny husband has just received an invitation to the White House, and will have to withdraw his acceptance from your dinner tomorrow night It so happened that the president had made out a list of people he wanted to dine with him. which included also almost every man that had wanted to attend the senator's dinner, including the host himself The senator's wife summoned every available man she could get hold of over the telephone in order to fill the vacant places at her table.
 Only few nights ago two members of the cabinet were expected at a dinner given in honor of the Russian embassa- dor. when the president summoned them to dine with him. One of them frankly told him his predicament and was ex- cused. The other withdrew his accept ance to the first invitation. A certain senator Lad promised to take dinner last Sunday afternoon with some old friends who had invited half a dozen people to meet him. Exactly three hours before dinner time he received an invitation from the president over the telephone, and was obliged to write an explanation to his friends and ask them to excuse him.
 Not long ago one of the new members of congress was requested to select the guests and fix the date for dinner siv- en in his honor He did botn, but the dinner was given without him. He was invited to the White House and had to go there instead.
 Of course the president does not know anything about the embarrassements and disappontments that he causes, but if things get much worse new rule win have to be adopted and he will have to include in his invitations the words, If no previous engagement prevents"

WEIDENFELD PUT
 OFF THE EXCHANGE
STOCK BROKER SUS- PENDED ONE YEAR FOR HIS CONNECTION WITH THE PETER POWER SUITS LAST YEAR.

New York. February 24-Camille Weld. enfield, member of the stock exchange since 1890, was today found guilty of acts detrimental to the welfare and interest of the exchange" and was suspended for one year. This decision was reached unanimously by the governing committee after an executive session which lasted almost six hours. The exact character of the charges and specifications against Weidenfeld were not disclosed, hut it was accepted as matter of fact that Weidenfeld was regarded as the au- thor and instigator of the Peter Power suits and that the stock exchange be- lieves these suits to be conceived in bad faith.
 The complaint served on Mcclure as de- fendant, says in part:
 "On or about the 14th day of January, 1903, the defendant in writing, published and charged the plaintiff with having en- tered into combination or conspiracy with one George Alfred Lamb and one or more other persons to veX and harass, by means of legal proceedings, the per sons who were interested in bringing about on the lst of January, 1902, the re- tirement of the whole of the outstanding preferred stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, and interested in hav- ing the corporation known as the North ern Securities company acquire more than a majority of the common stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad company and of the preferred stock of the Great Northern Railroad company"
 Widenfeld was formerly partner in the brokerage firm of Lawson, Weidenfeld x Co.,, the senior member being Thomas W. Lawson of Boston, Reports also connect Weidenfeld in close association with J. Edward Addcks of Delaware.
