FACES ON The WALL
Grange Phenomena Reported I'm N
PcnnsylvanIa Homestead.

Many strange phenomena are re-
ported at the time of death of cer-
tain people, but the strangest of alR
and one that has been witnessed by
hundreds of the curiously inclined
happened recently at the home of Si-
mon Fisher, at Shamokin, Pa.
Upon the walls of Farmer Simon
Fishers home are the exact facial
features of his deceased daughter and
son, and each appeared upon the
wall as life fled.
Six years ago the 1s-year-ol6
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Simon Fish
er, who reside on farm near Rebucks
was striken i'll with a peculiar NAL
ady. For months she suffered terri
bly,, but despite this she was cheer
full and battled bravely with death.
AS her end drew near the grief OF
the parents became uncomfortable.
and they refused to be comforted4
One day while the family were gath
cred around the dying girls bedside
praying for her recovery n strange
light filed the room. There was q
pause in the prayers, but the light
faded away as quickly as it appeared.
AS they gazed upon the ceiling
there appeared an exact likeness Of
the dying one. They were terrified,
and turned to the bedside, expecting
to find her dead. But she still lived.
The next day she died, but the face
still remained on the wall. A short
time ago her brother was taken down
with a fatal malady and just before
he died his profile appeared upon the
wall. while upon the ceiling appear
ed the apparition of the daughters
death six years before. The young
man failed to see the image of HIM
self and said that that of his sister
had disappeared.
The stricken youth said he was GO
ing to die, and was resigned to his
fate. Late in the afternoon he passed
away peacefully.
The images of both daughter and
son remain upon the ceiling and wall
respectively. Many persons have
travelled miles to the Fisher home
stead to view the strange phenome-
ma, but no one has been able to ex-
plain the mystery. The family have
become accustomed to the images,
and say they do not want them to dis
appear.

bring about conditions the socialists
desire were reported on unfavorably
by the resolutions committee.
Delegate Hayes. of Cleveland, offer

report but was ruled out of order
At this point the applause from the
spectators led President Gompers to
announce that he would order the
galleries cleared if the applause was
continued. His remark was received
with Kisses. Thereupon he ordered
the spectators to leave. There was
n great deal of confusion and the
elected people, numbering several
hundred. assembled outside Faneuil
hall and adopted resolutions con-
demning Gompers for his action.
Meantime the debate was resumed by
the delegates.
Delegate Hayes and other socialists
spoke at length against the commit
tees report, while the committees s
position was supported by Delegate
Lennon. the treasurer of the fedora
tion. Just before adjournment the
elected spectators were permitted to
re-enter the hall.

would know that when a man is weak
aud run down, when his activities are
slowed down If not altogether stopped,
there is something wrong with the power
plant Of the body.
The power plant of the body includes
the stomach and its associated organs of
digestion and nutrition. All physical
strength is derived from food digested
and converted into nutrition. Nutrition
is the power which runs the body.
When nutrition fails the body fails. The
chemical changes by which food is con
verted into nutrition take place in the
stomach aud digestive and nutritive
tracts. When the stomach Is diseased,
the nutrition Is reduced and the body's
power is reduced in proportion.
