To the Opportune appearance of
Denver Red" at an annual "slop-
up (convention) in Dubuque, Iowa,
probably owe my life.
Because of my habit of dropping
completely out of tramp circles and
reappearing in unexpected places,
came TO be known on the road as
THE Mysterious Kid" A story had
been circulated during one of my
prolonged absences to the effect
that had been locked in a refrig-
orator car on the Mexican Central
and starved to death. SO when |
appeared at the convention above
custom, to answer several pertinent
questions, my interlocutOrs began
to suspect me of being a fly mug
(detective). Added to this was the
fact that | refused to get drunk at
a meeting where the drinking of
raw alcohol was the principal
amusement. Finally | made the
worst possible break by trying to
slip away from the gang. The
drunken mob surrounded me in an
instant, fourishing coupling pins
and raZors. Fortunately. Denver
Red" like the hero in the melo
drama. arrived at the right moment
and vouched for me.
Now, Denver Red was then the
king of all the tramps in the West
He had issued the call for the an
nual "slop-up" at Dubuque, but ow
ing to a wreck on the Great West
ern had been delayed in reaching
the rendevouz. According to tram
etiquette Red was the supreme
head of that convention. He ruled
with an iron hand, and woe to The
subject who questioned his king
authority.
| That "slop-up" lasted ten days
Then the citizens of Dubuque aros
in their wrath, and with the aid o
shotguns, rifles and clubs, drove tn
entire gang out of the country. Al
ter which Red and journeye,

THE WEIGHT OF A HUMAN SOUL.
The human soul exists.


So say five Massachusetts physicians, who have made
series of experiments during the past six years. They
hold that the vital spark IN man occupies space and can
be weighed.
The experiments remind of the wager of Sir
Walter Raleigh, who claimed he could weigh tobacco
smoke His wager being accepted tradition says by
Queen EIizabetl-Sir Walter weighed pipe full of to-
bacco smoked the tobacco weighed the ashes and sub
tracted their weights from that of the tobaccoand
his wager
In this same way the Massachusetts doctors weigh
the soul.
They say the soul can be cataogued just the
stomach liver of the organs of the body They
say the soul is material thing and when it leaves the
body it diminShes the weg ht Of the body by
little less.
The test has been made many bodies of both
The dying put in beds that upon platform scales
scales adjusted to the utmost nicely The instant death
takes place the opposite scale pan falls is if something
had been lifted from the body.
AT first the doctors felt mcanny about the matter, but
went ahead with the experiments and say that after six
years of careful tests they cannot be mistaken.
DR.. McDoughal of the Haverhil hospital, who has
made dozens of the tests says that making every possible
deduction for the usual physical loss of weight at death
there remains in every Of weight to be
counted for.
1t is easy poke fun these doctors and to inquire
how much the soul Of multi millionaire must weigh, if
the average soul weight is and to at the
experiments
But what about the facts?
The doctors say they have made every effort to dis
prove well to prove the theory they hold, and that
they united in the belief that they right
Whether they right not-who knows?
Who knows but that the soul occupies space? Who
knows but that it is composed of gravitaed other
form of matter?
If the doctors right then the soul is of the earth
earthly. 1t is substance which leave the
earth. 1t may float about but get away.
Heretofore science has been aonostic far the
soul is concerned Scientists have said "Our scalpels
cannot fad the life spirit our microscopes do not dis
it." Has science at last found out that the soul is
ponderable and caught it with sensitive scales? Probably
not.
But here is the point:
The only reasonable attitude for the thinking mind
any question is the attitude of n-mndedness. The
most ignorant is the who thinks lie knows all
things.
Even scepticism must be reasonable.
There things than dreamed of in our
philosophy. We always the verge Of great dis
coveries.
Let science do its best.
These good doctors probably mistaken in their
calculations Nevertheless the day may when the
existence of the human soul may be proven easily as
the sum in a boys book Of arithmetic
