THE BURNING BUSH.

The maple flames with crimson leaves
And as the fitful breezes sigh.
Like little ripping tongues Of fire
They lick the edges OF the sky
Yet all is color and IT'S glow
Is wrapped I'm winters winding sheet
And all its pomp must pass away
For springtime's resurrection sweet
The mysteries of life and death
II holds. for those who turn to scan,
So yearly from the burning bush,
The Lord God speaks to man.

RED HOT PHILOSOPHY
PLACED UNDER BAN
Exponents of Living Fire. Who Dispose of Degrees at So
Much Per- Do Not Come Up to Postoffice Regulations.
Therefore, Fraud Order

''The Philosophers of the Living Fire"
are not exactly hot stuff. according to
the Postoftice Department. In fact, they
are as prone to trouble as are the
sparks to fly upward, and they will no
longer be allowed to scorch the malls
with the burning secrets of their order
They have been declared a fraudulent
concern and the mails are not for them.
The organization. which has been do
ing business in Uniontown. Mich, was
asked to show cause before October II
why a fraud order should not be issued
against it. DR.. Henry j. Barton sub
mitted a lengthy argument. He eN-
planned, in substance, as follows:

The Philosophers OF the Living Fire

They deal largely in grips, passwords
and signs They teach the neophyte

to practice charity and to heal all sur
lering people. They also impair. much
knowledge about the mystic and occult
things and thoughts
LAST, but not least, they give degrees
for s. per degree
In answering Mr.. Bartoa's argument.
the postofilce officials says the degrees
would De expensive at 30 cents each
Iney also call attention to the fact that.
although Barton claims to have had the
secrets OF the order as they were handed
down Dy countless generations, he really
learned all he knew from books and q
course in hypnotism.
Declared it "All OFF,"
The department did not seem much
impressed by the healing and charitable
Qualities mentioned. In short, they
declared II ali off.
The philosophers will have to be philo-
sophical and teach their philosophy To
those whom they see face TO face.

some of them are talking about pro-

for mayor, has read himself out of the
democratic party and that. therefore. he
is no longer a Democrat
