OTTUMWA, Iowa, Jan. 24.-Wnile
accompanying a young woman home
from a skating rink, Mr.. Manreow, a
machinist, whose home is at Milwau-

a short while before his death Mann

light on the mystery Of the fate of her
lover
HE had urgent business in London

leave late at night. We mad talked all
day on the beauties of psychic love.
George found me his affinity in every
thing. Then he had to leave so sud-
denly. He was TO return soon and
we were to marry in psychic fashion.
l did not hear of him for weeks. Then
he wrote me that he had just fallen
down a long, steep flight of stairs. I
have not been able since to determine
If the fall was fatal.
"All my letters have come back to
me. I know the members of his fam
lily, VINO do not believe in phychic love,
are trying to separate us. 1 do not
know now whether we ever will be
married. But it is time to give our
letters to the world to show what psy-

a strikingly manly letter. My heart

longer They are now volumes, ex-
hausting psychic love- They will
prove a new force to the world.
Then George came-came all the
way from London for me. He had
thought me rich in worldly goods and
was so pleased to find me ricn only in
thought He told me with tears in his
eyes that his only fear was that ne
would find me in a sordid atmosphere
of wealth, and this had caused him to
postpone his visit SO many months.

but finally came to find out himself.
Then He Went Away.
And then after a brief day he went
away. We both shed tears at the
parting.
what is the flesh?" wrote George
to me, just before he came over. 1T
is the veil of the spirit. Shall we
thicken that veil or shall we lessen,
living only soul to soul on a psychic
plane, until the veil is rent and the
spirits twain made one and we wing
away to the spirit land? What are the
years? Nothing but errors of the flesh.
The flesh ages, but the soul is ageless.
Your body is 81 years old, mine is but
no. All, but our souls are the same

ever in psychic harmony
THAT is illuminative of George,

chic love.

pride by the faculty of the university

the less conscientious occidental

slowly, when they saw what seemed
to be two green balls of fire suspended
in the air about five feet above the

deer cut one of the tires with his hoof.

Emphatic. but Innocent.

Mrs. Richardson, author Of "In

writes of her Japanese attendant:
when she was not waiting upon me
she spent most of her time sitting
on her heels warming her little fin
gers over the 'hibachi' and smoking
the most minute pipe I had ever
seen, which she promptly hid under
her feet whenever I appeared. She
had learned her broken English from

her she had forgotten something she
replied, I am a - fool not being

DR.. Eydam, a noted German me-

extremely simple kind of barometer.
It consists of the telegraph wire
which is strung from pole to pole
along the roadsides.
DR.. Eydam declares that by listen
ing closely to the sound made by the
wind blowing across the wires any
one can tell exactly what the weather
is likely to be several days in ad-
vance. If the wires emit a deep, mel
low and sustained note, like that OF
an organ, it means that the weather
will be showery, with possible gales

Birds, we know, are sometimes
trained to fire off pistols, as well as
to perform other unusual feats, but it
is not often that a wild bird in the
woods shoots a man with his own
gun, as related by a sporting writer.
A payo del monte, a bird of Uru-
quay not unlike the turkey, had been
winged by a hunter. 1t fell to the
ground, but was at once up on its feet
and ran away.
Throwing his gun hastily aside, the
hunter started in pursuit, and a game
of hide-and-seek ensued. In and out
of the brushwood the bird ran, and
the man followed.
In one of the doublings and turn
ings the bird passed over the gun,
which was lying on the ground and its
foot CHANGED to strike against the trig-
ger of the undischarged barrel, the
hammer of which, in the hurry of the
moment, had been left at full cock.
There was a loud report, followed
by an exclamation of pain from the
man. The bird escaped, and the luck

athletic sports, and their athletes are
men of superb physique.
Their method of training for feats
Of strength would, nevertheless, hard

Before giving their displays in public
Persian athletes lie in bed for several
days to store up their strength. Queer
as the custom is, however, there is no
question that the Persian Shadows and
Samsons show enormous strength and
endurance.
In the arenas in which they perform,
they will go through their exercise in
the way of swinging heavy clubs to
the accompaniment of music for two
hours at a time. In fact, there is q

who holds out the longest winning tbs

Dance Sixteen Miles in a Night.

0GAaSG SANAGGt IN -
Few young women if asked to hop,
skip and jump for sixteen miles dur
ing a single evening would approach
the pastime with exuberance. A
young man recently took a pedometer
to a dancing party, however, and has
figured it out that most young women.
cover more than sixteen miles in an.
evenings dance. During the festivi-
ties the pedometer registered that the
young man had travelled thirteen and.
one-half miles. The local mathemati-
clan calculates that women dance
more than men, and places sixteen
miles as the distance of an average
feminine terpsichorean performance.
He computes that the average length
of a waltz is half a mile, of a polka
three-quarters of a mile, of a galop or
schottische q mile and of a lancers a
quarter of a mile.

Cure for Cancer.

Gather wood sorrel when in bios
som-that bearing a blue flower is
best-pound, and press out the juice,
put it on a plate, and cover the whole
plate with a glass. Set it in the sun
until a paste is formed, then cork it
tightly in a phial. When applied, it
should be spread on cloth OF wash
leather, and placed over the cancer
only in the day time, so the patient
may sleep in the night. If properly
gathered, prepared and applied, it will
draw out the cancer in about four
days. Meanwhile the patient should
drink much yellow dock tea.
This recipe is claimed to be given
by an Indian doctor.
