DANGER IN PSYCHIC POWER
Poverty and Insanity Menace Careless
Delivers Into Land of Shades

There is a power far more dan
eerous than electrieity-the> psychic
power. So great are the perils of this
mysterious force thta no one should
enter the spiritualistic world with
out guarding himself againse the imps
and demons that Turk within its con
fines. This astonishing statement
was made by DR. Isaac K Funk. ti1c
rC.ted student of spi ituahsm. psyche
iegs and the al&jlv more occ"lt fields
Of research which stretch out beyond
the mind into the unknown.
DIR. Funk had just learned OF the
verdict by which Edward Ward Van
derblt was judged incompetent be-
cause of his belief in the astral power
of his wife That the famous psy-
chologist was profoundly moved by
the news he made no effort to con-
eeal. In his Investigations he had
alade a study OF the very woman
whom the courts have condemned
1T was May Pepper. the medium,
rather than Edward w. Vanderbilt,
the merchant who was on trial. he
said
You believe, therefore, that this
medium has been proved a menace to
the community?" asked.
: 1T IS not for me TO condemn Mrs
Pepper as an adventures and char
iatan, was the cautious reply 81 am
not the jury or the judge TO decide
whether she swindled deluded hus-
band out of his property. Neverthe-
less | will say that such case as
This should be a fearful warning. 1t
brings to light the opportunities BY
which ignorant people, in trying to
Erope for truth in the psychic-world,
may be trapped, how they may lose
both wealth and reason.
yet despite all the perils that
Turk in the spirit world, the scientist,
the saan who walks by the lamp OF
reason. should not be afraid to explore
ITS mysterious realms | am con-
WINGED by what / have learned that

Surely Time for Hubby to Do Live
 ly Sidestep.

Mrs. Wilson's husband was often obliged to go to New York on busi- ness, and frequently did not reach his home until the arrival of the midnight train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the habit of sleeping peacefully at these times without fear, but number of burglaries in the neighborhood during one of her husbands trips to New York had disturbed her calm.
 On the night of his return MT. VII. son was stealing carefully up the front stairs, as was his wont on such occasions. so that his wife would not be wakened, when he heard her voice, high and strained:
 T don't know whether you are my husband or a burglar" came the ex- cited tones, but am going to be on the safe side and shoot. so if you are Henry you'd better get out of the way. Youths Companion.

Money For State Farm.

The Penitentiary Board will hold an adjourned session the latter part of the week, and il is likely will order a payment on the state convict farm iI Lincoln county. What this amount will be has not been agreed upon by the members. The only payment made on the farm this year Is $l5 9a4 which was paid To the Urquhart estate seY- eral months ago. The farm Tas sold to the State for Sl4o,g90 The recent legislature appropriated $45.000 for payment on the place out of which appropriation sl5.op0 was paid on May 20, leaving balance to the credit of the appropriation of 30.600 Pay. ments for the farm must come out of the penitentiary fund, which consists of the earnings of the penitentiary At present there is about S25,000 10 the credit of the fund. and as large returns from the sales of cotton will soon come iH, the board feels justified in making another payment on the place. The amount paid on the convict farm 10 date is about $7S.000. leaving a bal. aaee of $62. .8oo and interest due.

To Make Changes.

From time 10 time the Board of Pen itentiary Commissioners have made changes in the handling of the State conyicts. and that still further changes are contemplated was manifested by the action of the board in authorizing Acting Governor x. O Pindali to visit the state farm whenever convenient, and as 1t may seem necessary to him. and deal with matters there as t ap- pears in his judgment to be for the successful operation Of the peniteati- ary system. The authority to de this was given to Acting Governor Piudail in written order signed b. Secretary of State O. C. Ludwig. State Auditor A. F.. Moore and Commissioner Guv B. Tucker, and is as follows: Where as. The next regular meeting Of tae Penitentiary Board is not due until some time next month. and eaHdi- tIons now confronting ths board re- quiring immediate attention. and some one interested with authority from the board, We. the undersigned members of the Penitentiary Board. do hereby authorize the acting governor.
