FINDS FINGER IN TIE AIR.
astral Artist Can Photograph Any
thing You've Lost-Wizard
In Dark Room.

Colorado Springs, Colby photo
graphing the astral finger of a man
who had lost that member in an acct
dent several months ago A. K. Cutting,
of 42S Colorado avenue, Colorado City,
who dabbles in photography and occult
science, believes he has proved scien-
tifically the theory of the ancient Per-
sian philosopher, Zoroaster, that man
has dual or astral body.
Cutting called Joseph Murphy, a
brakeman, formerly of Quincy, ILL.,, but
now a resident of Colorado City, into his
office for the purpose of proving his
discovery. A few months ago Murphy
lost the forefinger Of his right hand in
an accident at Quincy.
The men went into a dark room and
Cutting asked Murphy to place his
imaginary finger upon highly sensi-
tized plate. After a few minutes the
plate was developed, revealing the clear
outlines of the missing finger.
Although fairly overwhelmed by his
discovery, Cutting feels sure of his
ground.
He believes that he has proved beyond
doubt the theory of theosophists. that
man has dual body existing in some
sort of fluid form, which becomes a
counterpart of man when released by
the death of the body Cutting made his
first experiment when he reproduced a
picture of his dead father on a photo
graphic plate by simply holding the
plate to his forehead and concentrating
his thoughts on his father.

of the horizon. The maguifcence oil

discharge OF debts and full payment
for commodities, being accepted
equally without reference to the char
acter or credit of the person who
effers it and without the intention
OF the person who receives it to con-
sumo it or to enjoy it or apply it to
any other use than in turn to ten
der it to others in discharge OF debts
or payment for commodities. Cur
gency Is the name given to the legal
medium of exchange il every coun-

been the first choice OF all nations

of money is the root OF all evil. Z

TbO MANI OF r..
"Masna is there too many of wes"
The little girl asked with sigh.
Perhaps you wouldn't be tired, you sec.
If few of your childs should die
She was only three years old-this one
Who spoke in that strange, sad way
AS she saw her mothers impatient frown
At the children's boisterous play
There were half dozen who around her stood,
And the mother was sick and poor
Worn out with the care of the noisy brood
And the light with the wolf at the door.
For a smile or a kiss no time, no place:
For the little one least Of all;
And the shadows that darkened the mothers
face
Ger the young life seemed to fall.
More thoughtful than any she felt more care.
And wondered in childish way
How to tighten the burden she eonld not share
Growing heavier every day.
Only a week and the little Claire
In her tiny white trundle bed.
Lay with blue eyes closed, the sunny hair
Cut close from the golden head.
Don't cry, she said-the words were low
Feeling tears she could not see
