NOW do not speak while I pray and

spirit" she said, and a moment later
handed me a picture of woman with
short hair who Is booked to lead me to
the altar.
You will soon meet this woman"
said the medium, "and If Won wish To
pay me another rs cents I will tell Won
her name. She will make you a good
wife, as you have a strong, good spirit
watching over you"
All this in spite Of the fact that
have not only o wife, but o. baby girl
and am not Mormon.
Trick an Easy One
Mr. Hazel explains this trick by say
ing 1t is a simple one, being the bring
ing to light of picture by wettinR the
paper. The paper Is called Decalca-
mine and can be purchased at any
photo supply house The picture is
first printed on the paper and is then
caused to disappear by soaking the
paper I'm a chemical solution. The eff
feet Of water on 1t counteracts the
effect of the chemical and the picture is
again brought to light.
This closed the interview with Isis
and we left her establishment feeling
that we had gained eighty-hve cents
worth of knowledge If nothing else.
In her conversation with us this wo-
man showed ignorance in every sem
tence uttered. She was not even
shrewd and instead of using her own
judgment allowed hreself to be led on
by questions at every turn. She was
amateurish in the extreme, and yet 1t
Is claimed that her patronage includes
persons of all walks In life and that
she seldom has an idle moment. Busi-
ness men consult her in regard to af-
fairs of the commercial world, while
trusting mothers seek her advice in
bringing up their sons and daughters.
Not only this, but she makes first aid
to Cupid one of her numerous special
ties and will go to any length In adj
vising young men and women whom
they ought to marry. If some enter
prising matrimonial bureau wished to
drum up trade a contract with Isis
would help matters along considerably.
What Is the reason for this large pat
ronage? Simply that in many cases
the people love to be fooled. Many of
them are well aware that these So
called fortune tellers are takers, yet
they attend the meetings just to see
how it is done. Others believe in them
and are completely under the spell of
the takers, who rob them every chance
they get.
At present the takers are getting
wiser, and since The Herald undertook
the work of exposing their methods
take more care whom they admit to
their rooms. Each person who enters
is inspected closely to see whether he
bears any resemblance to a reporter,
and If he does is informed that the
medium is not at home.
Many of them are on the move at
present, the notoriety which has been
given their actions through The Her.
AIDS expose being more than they
could stand. Few of them say, how
ever, that they intend to give up their
taking, the fact that the crop of credu-
lous dupes is so large that they are
always sure of easy money keeping
them in 1t.

TAKES A VACATION

Elsie Reynolds and Florence White

divorcing foolish girls and sorrowing
widows from their money.

published in The Herald recently in an

Arthur Houghton is the other member,
is baslling In the sunlight at Pasadena,
according to the landlord at the Mont
gomery, 444 South Spring street, where
she had her rooms.
The landlord confided that Mrs. White
thought she had better leave town for
a while until the trouble which The
Herald has stirred up has blown over.
That is Mrs. Whites way of putting it..
Mrs. II. II. Parker, clairvoyant in
room 1 of the Montgomery, said yester-
day over the telephone that Mrs. White
has gone away for vacation and will
not again come back to the Mont
gomery. She would not admit that Mrs.
White is in Pasadena, but declared she
did not know her address.
"She has gone away for a vacation;
she is tired and needs the rest" said
Mrs. Parker. mo, she will not return

BY EARL sTRACHAN

An afternoon devoted to the pastime
of visiting the different spirit shops"
In Los Angeles, where spiritualistic
fakers hold forth for the purpose of
separating guileless persons from their
cash, Is a revelation indeed. The crude
methods employed the tricks INDUCED
in and the untruths told all hold the
attention as nothing else will.
/ passed an afternoon doing this very
thing last week. In company with
Robert A. Hazel, who is devoting his
time to exposing the tricks of the
spiritualists visited the places where
several of the so-called mediums per-
form the "marvels" by which they
draw the bright yellow gold from the
purses of their deluded victims, and
then wondered how any person could
be easy enough to believe in their
vaunted powers.
Fearing l would be recognized as a
reporter If 1 went In my usual clothing
and spiritualists do not like reporters
and refuse to talk to them unless driven
into a corner-I donned the cap of q
messenger boy, and with rough
shirt and old clothing started out to
visit these alleged middlemen between
the spirit land and this.
We had arranged that Hazel was to
take the part of an eastern tourist,
while [ was to act as a guide showing
him the sights.
