SEERESS
Is DEAD

New York. Feb 5-The East Sides most
famous fortune teller is dead. Her
funeral was held yesterday afternoon
from her home i'm Front street. just
around the corner from Corlears Hook
park, a queer frame cottage. more than
100 years old. just the sort of dingy, bat
tered. old survival you would expect To
run across In Harlem or the Bronx rather
than along the water front among the
big warehouses and the tall tenements
In that house Margare: Miller turned
the cards for AZ years. peeping into the
future tas her patrons were quite sure)
for rich and poor. hign and low, good and
bad-it was ali one. All the big and little
puzzles Of life she worked. thumbing her
two packs OF cards. Every day for ~
years she sat at small table, cards
spread out before her. and gave advice
in curt. sharp words on such matters as
the finding OF lost ring. the possibilities
of birth, good or III chance in love, sick
ness, health. faithfulness OF husbands and
loyalty or wives, hiring OF servants-these
and every twist and turn OF life were
there In her cards; at least her customers
believed II.
When she came to the quarter, pink
checked German woman. there was none
but German and Irish all around. IL was
a long time before the Jew and Italian
invasion filled the neighborhood with
people who knew not Mother Miller
and had seeresses OF their own. Among
her own people and the Irish she got "A
wonderful popularity, They believed in
her implicitly and no word OF priest or
pastor could shake their faith in the for
tune teller.
She used to sit day after day dressed
in a red calico wrapper and a thin white
shawl lingering the cards and watching
the restless life in which she would
spread her two packs OF cards on the
table. They were covered with--repre-
sentations Of rings. marriage certificates,
houses, law papers and other things
The patron, usually a woman. would Sc
lect five cards. then hva more and finally
a third set Of five, Mother Miller would
arrange them I'm a row and trace them
out with her stiff old fingers talking
Sometimes il went like this:
you have an enemy. IL is here in this
card where you can see II plainly. BW
here is friend a strong friend. a tall
light man. who will come between you
and your enemy. Put your trust i'm the
tall. light man. but keep away from the
dark man. There is a dark-haired woman
who lies about YOU and pretends to be
your friend
Sometimes the customer feared sickness
and asked advice. It came in monoto-
nous voice. usually like this:
you'll have a long sickness soon May
be IL will come within a month. BE care
ful about going out at night. about going
outfwith a gang. keep away from q gang.
Therell be a man I'm it who will hurt
YOU You will get all OF the sickness

BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of inn

health in children. The action
of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.
