SPECTRAL WARNINGS.
The Bloody Mark That Appeared on
Cardan's Finger.

The Bloody Mark That Appeared on
Cardan's Finger.
Who shall say that spectral warnings
are entirely chimerical? History has
many Instances to the contrary. Thus
the once well known tragedian John
At the same hour and minute a shop
man in London, sleeping under a coun-
ter, saw distinctly his shade glide
through the shop. open the door and
pop into the street. This an hour or
two later he mentioned very coolly, as
If Mr.. Palmer himself had been there.
Cardan, the noted Italian philoso-
pher. saw on the ring finger of his
right hand the mark of a bloody sword
and heard at the same time a voice
which babe him go to Milan. The red
ness progressively increased until mid
night. The mark then faded gradually
AMI disappeared. At that midnight
hour his son was beheaded at Milan.
The father of Dr. Blombey was cap
tain in an army serving in America.
We are told by DR.. Ridge that six
officers 800 miles from his position
were visited after dinner by this mod
ern Banquo, who sat down in a vacant
chair. One said to him, "Blombey, are
you mad?' He rose in silence and
slowly glided out at the door. He was
slain on that day and hour.-St. James

The New Political Infant
Origin of the independence Party and What 1t Stands For
Thomas Hisgen, Presidential Nominee, Self Made Man
and Campagner of Considerable AbIity-John
Temple Graves, His Running Mate,
Newspaper Man and Orator.

GIL octopus observed that the HisRen
axle grease was becoming mighty pop
ular. EmisSaries Of Standard Oil Wis
tied Albany and offered the Hisgens
100000 for their plant and business.
They declined, for it was a good thing
to keep in the family. Standard Oil
then set out to kill the Four Brothers
axle grease trade. Dealers were noti-
fed that if they sold Hisgen axle
grease they should not sell Rockefel-
Ter oil. This method was calculated
to kill timid concern, but the three
HiSgens-one of the original four had
died-were not weak brothers. They
determined to survive, SO they went
into the Oil business themselves. The
fight is still on. Standard Oil sells
wholesale in the Springfield district at
q rate more than q cent lower per gal
lon than Four Brothers oil can be sold,
but the people know that unless they
support the Hisgen oil concern it will
have to go under and then Standard
Oil will raise its price to the figure
charged in Boston and other parts of
the state where there is no competi-
ton. So the people buy Hisgen oil and
help Mr.. Hisgen to hold out in his
plucly fight against the monopoly oc-
topus.
In 1906 Mr.. Hisgen, hitherto I'M
known politically, was nominated for
governor of Massachusetts on the In
dependence league ticket. He polled
$4,000 votes. almost as many as the
Democratic candidate received. He
proved to be a campaigner of consid-

Well Known Orator.

John Temple Graves is counted upon
to do the whirlwind campaigning for
the Independence ticket. He is an ora
tor of national renown. Now in his
fifty-second year, for twenty-five years
he has been a noted southern editor.
His journalistic career began on the
Daily Union at Jacksonville, Fla, In
1881. He founded the Atlanta Journal
in 1887 and for many years was editor
In chief and editorial writer. Mr..
Graves has represented both Florida
and Georgia as a delegate to Demo

east and the south. The mantle of the
late Henry w. Grady as editor, orator
and representative of the new south is
popularity said to have fallen upon the
shoulders of Mr.. Graves.
Mr.. Graves is a southerner of the
radical type. He believes thoroughly
in the greatness of the new south, in
its potentialities for future develop
ment, but there Is none Of the old time
sectionalism In his utterances. Some
of his most eloquent addresses have
had to do with the heroism Of the old
south and the hardihood of the new.
In his own state, in other southern
states, in Philadelphia and New York
and New England he has preached the
doctrine of a reunited Union moving
ever forward to q glorious destiny.

The Actor and the Critic.

One of the near comedians who al
ways affect to be entirely careless OF
newspaper criticism recently struck
from his list Of bowling acquaintance
a critic noted for his candor. The
player met the writer and friend
while crossing a park square and ex-
changed a few words Of greeting and
as he passed on heard this converse
ton:
who was that?'
"Oh, that is L., the actor!'
''He does not look much like an actor
off the stage"
''Still less when he's on the stage"
returned the critic.-Argonaut.

AS a lecturer on the Chautauqua cir

Believer In Change.

This vice presidential nominee has
striking personality. He has been
aggressive and radical always. He be-
lieves in change. Conservatism has no
place in his category. But he is a radi-
cal of a different sort from John G..
Calhoun, whose brother was the grand
father of Mr.. Graves. Like Calhoun,
Graves was born in the Abbeville dis
trict of South Carolina. Wilmington
Church, Abbeville county, was the
place of his birth. General James
Porterfeld Graves was his father.
Katherine Calhoun, his mother, was a
daughter Of William Calhoun, eldest
brother of the famous South Carolina
statesman.
Mr. Graves, was graduated in 1875
from the University of Georgia. From
early youth he has been student Of
history, politics and literature. He is
the author of a history of Florida, of a
volume Of lectures and of many maya
zine articles. One Of his books is on
the subject OF the negro. In contribu
tons to various periodicals he has adj
vocated the separation Of the white
and the black races. In a speech not
long ago Mr. Graves advocated lynch
ing for certain heinous crimes.

GEORGE ABE in POLITICS.

George AIDE has come into his own.
The Indiana man has been dabbllng as
newspaper hack, novelist and play
wright all these years, while all the time
he has kept hidden within him those
attributes that bring political success.
But AIDE has just been elected as a
delegate to the republican national
convention with instructions to fight
for Fairbanks, Indianas favorite son,
until Texas freezes over, and he has
been moved to say:
politics, is the original and principal
industry Of Indiana II was taught in
the households and the schools when
I was a lad.
"I knew more politics when Twas IL
than l do now. OF course, that is
giving no accurate estimate of what I
knew then.
But there is more politics to the
square inch in Indiana than there is
air in the atmosphere. and am now
an honored part of it."
Good for George AIDE. May he stay
in the political arena long enough to
bring it brighter view Of life. May
his sunny philosophy become con-
tagious to the extent that the hatchets
and knives, which have heretofore
been carried as a part of the politi-
clans armor, may be replaced by other
weapons, less dangerous and less. dis
posed to leave gaping wounds and
sore spots.

MARRIAGE FAILURE AND A
REASON

The diverting scenes in that French
court room the other day in which
Count Boni de Castellane was called
to testify concerning his deadly com
bat with Prince Helie de Sagan,
brought out certain facts which give
additional proof that poor rich Anna
Gould drew total blank in the matri-
monial lottery.
For instance. just read Count Boni's
description of his deadly combat with
Prince Helie:
'.As he left the church Prince Helie
insulted me with contemptuous
smile. Me-Count Boni de Castellane!
Sacre! Mon dieu! no man shall in
suit me. followed him out the door.
AS Prince Helie went down the outer
steps slapped his face with my
glove. He turned but did not resent
it. Then spat In his face.
That that cried, as compli-
ment from myself and my children

the gutter-the Prince de Sagan! =
and refused to move l kicked him
once, twice. He lay still did not
know what to do So l left him there.
But he had insulted me. I was justi-
fed

The insistence of the friends and
supporters of Governor Johnson Of
Minnesota in pushing his candidacy
for the democratic presidential nomin-
alton is a source Of worry to Mr. Bry-
an. Mr.. Johnson's strength is unques-
toned. He was elected governor the
first time by majority of 10000,
while Roosevelt carried the state by
1900. Two years ago he was elected
by majority of $4,000, although be-
fore his advent in the political arena
the normal republican majority had
been about this figure. Bryan's sup
porter's cannot even advance the
claim that Gov. Johnson is not ma
tive born citizen in this country, al
