salary Of $4,000 also in order to de-
vote himself to reflection upon the
mysteries Of life and to study system
of philosophy, the fact attracts more
than ordinary attention. The Inference
is very naturally drawn that tbs ideas
In question must exercise powerful
fascination in order to draw a hard
headed business man away from prac-
teal pursuits. Mr.. Gage is just sew
enty years of age, and his financial ca
reer began in a bank in the central
part of New York state fifty three
years ago. His prominence as fnan-
cier may be judged from the fact that
he was for several years at the head Of
the leading bank of Chicago, was three
times president Of the American Bank
ers' association, served as secretary of
the treasury of the United States from
1897 to 1902 and since the latter year
has been at the head of the United
States Trust company, one Of the lar
gest institutions of the kind in this
country.
Secretary Gage was president of the
board Of directors of the Columbian
exposition and has twice been presi
dent Of the Civic federation Of Chi
cago. For a number Of years he has
been a student of occult subjects.
About a dozen years ago he was
guest at a banquet in the Auditorium
hotel when in the midst Of the feasting
and speaking he had a vision of his
brother, a western mine owner. holding
a gun. Then he saw the weapon ex-
plode and his brother lying dead on a
lonely country road. a few hours
later he received word that his brother
had been shot and killed in the man
ner shown in his vision. AS Che result
Of this he took up the study Of esOteric
philosophy under Thomas Hudson. 1t
is said he has now become member
of the theosophst colony at Point
Iona, Cal, and that he recently paid
$4,000 to Mrs. Katherine Tingley, head
Of the American branch of the cult, for
ground on which to erect a residence

BETTER PIES FOR KANSAS.
Macedonian Cry From the SUM

A Macedonian Cry From the Sum
flower States Wheatfelds.
While the demand for college farm
hands in Kansas is undated and While
all ablebodied collegians who are will
ing to work are assured kind treatment,
good wages, pure food and Sundays to
themselves in all parts Of the Sunfow-
er State, yet the crying need OF the
moment Is for women cooks in the har-
vest camps, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Men cooks have been tried, the best
that could be induced to come, and have
been found wanting. They do very
we'll with the substantial foods, but
harvest hands cannot live and be happy
on substantial food alone. There comes
a time in the experience Of every har-
vest hand when he feels craving for
pie and when nothing short OF pie
that Is a fair replica Of the pie his
mother used to make will satisfy him.
Some deficiency in the male, which
science has thus far been unable to &C
count for, causes him to fail when he
tries to make pie. He may be quick
lunch cook of exceptional skill or he
may be clubhouse chef with Paris
Ian diploma, but when he reaches that
part of the menu where pie is expected
he fails utterly.
The harvest hands of Kansas are cry
ing for pie at the present moment, and
the safety of the crops depends upon
the rapidity with which that cry shall
be answered. Advertisements are in
serted in all Of the leading newspapers
of all the towns of Kansas and sur
rounding states which offer unparalleled
ed inducements to women cooks. And
the chief qualification demanded Of
them Is that they be capable of making
the right kind of pie. The aerated or
denatured pie of commerce will not do.
The fiat pie of the quick lunch counter
will not do. The pies that are wanted
must have interior departments which
1t will be pleasure for the educated
harvest hands to explore
There must be an average distance
Of an inch and a quarter between the
lower and the upper crust, and this
must be filled with some substance cal
culated to chase away that tired feel
ing which is an almost inevitable ac-
compartment of that feeling of honest
contentment which comes with the con-
sciousness of a days work we'll done.
Little do American consumers Of
foodstuffs realize the important part
which pie plays in the nations econ
omy. We read much in the crop re-
ports of the state of the weather, of the
probabilities of rain and the probable
tiles of drought, but not word about
the probabilities of pie. And yet 10000
harvest hands today are meditating
whether to fly back to civilization and
pie or to remain at their posts of duty
and save the crops.

Iheosophy in this country dates back
to about 1875, when the movement was
inaugurated by Nine. Blsvatsky, a
RUSSIAN woman, and William @. Judge.
Both are now dead. ldr. Judge sue
ceeded Nine. Blavatsky as head of the
society upon the death of the latter
and on his death the mantle fell upon
the shoulders of Mrs. Tinsley. One
OF the beliefs of theosophy is that of re-
incarnation Of souls, and the statement
Is made that Mrs. Tingley's followers
suppose the soul of the late Mr.. Judge
to reside at present in the body of

New Industry For Society.

How many of the motors in which we
see smart people dashing about are
really the property of those who ride
in them? asks the London Tribune. 1t
IS frequently said that in the more i'm

ing for motor firms has taken the place
of touting for insurance companies as
the favorite way Of increasing a too
narrow income. A motor takes a long
time to build. say six months. A rich

a lady whom he knows driving about

says. II like your motor very much.

The Chess Players,

1t looks something more than a co
incidence-this early decay of the chess
players. The results of these prodi-
gious intellectual stunts are not unlike
those of the overturned horse or the
professional athlete, who sinks into de-
cay before his time, his vitality gone,
his organs a wreck. Chess Is doubtless
the beautiful and inspiring game its
devOtees would have us to think. but 1t
appears to be mighty poor profession.
Even if it be not short cut to mad
ness, it certainly leads to no useful
end. Some great men have been chess
players, but no chess player has ever
been a great man.-Kansas City H.

MISS ROSE FOWLER AND THE TELEvUE
a glass six inches in diameter, before
which the talker stands, and receiv-
ing plate one and three-Quarters inches
across, in which the transmitted image
appears. This smaller disk Is close to
to the mouthpiece, so that the user Of
the phone may see the person at the
other end Of the wire and talk with him
at the same time. Inside the box are
an extra induction coil and two more
batteries than in an ordinary telephone.
The visual image is transmitted in the
form Of a photograph, and the working
of the apparatus is said to depend "up-
on the variations in the electrical re-
sistance of a ribbon Of selenium pro-
duced by variations in the intensity Of
a beam of light impinging upon it,"
What boon to the busy housewife
