MISS LIE BRANr MysT1F4Es.
Gives Rather Wonderful Exhibition of
"second Sight" at Novelty.

An exhibition of mental alertness.
nystifying to. g. degree, is. being given at
the Novelty theater this week by Miss
LIE Brant and Prince Abilene. It is
little on the order of the performance
given by Anna Eva Fay but Miss LIE

works with greater rapidity than does
Miss Fay and that makes her act all
the more marvellous.
In describing the nature of the act
Prince Abilene declares that it is not
mind reading on the part of Miss LIE
Brant. It is an exhibition of second
sight, What he sees or looks at she
sees and describes. Miss LIE Brant
stands on the stage and is bHndfOlded
while Prince Abilene goes through the
audience takes any article offered him
by any one, looks at it and then asks
Miss LIE Brant what he sees She de-
scribes the article with Ininuteness and
there is apparently no communication
between Abilene and her by which she
could be given an linking as to the
article in question Frequently at the
performances yesterday Abilene merely
pointed to a ring or piece of jewelry
worn by some one and would simply
say, Whats this" and the reply would
come from Miss LIE Brant as quick as
lightning describing the article perfect

ing a one as has ever been seen in the
city.

Bonneville, Ind, Dec. 22.-Every wo-

There is one man in the town, how
ever, who is giving all the others a

he says that his wife has the original
copy of all the recipes and will follow
them in their own home despite the
storm of protest on. the part Of the tenn
perance workers. > e.
Not long ago the Ladies' Aid soci-
ETY. hit upon the plan Of publishing q
cook book to raise a needed sum Of
