A Ghost Clubs Test.

The London Ghost Club scien-
tific organization with a shivery
name, is about to PROFOUND test
that ought to go far toward deter
mining whether the dead can com
municate with friends on earth.
These students of the spiritual world
have a secret diary kept by one of
their members, recently deceased,
and the man on the other side
will be questioned as to it's contents.
The book was sealed by its owner be-
fore his death and will not be open
ed until the club has assembled in
solemn conclave to prosecute its in
quiry. The names of many of the
Investigators ought to be a guaran-
tee of the good faith of the investi-
cation. If the slightest loophole be
left open for trickery, the tests
will be to leave the vital question
exactly where it has remained since
the days of the Fox Sisters and the
Davenport Brothers.-B ook y IL.

If we identify ourselves with
Christ's sympathy for others by our

part of the body to help another In Its

by rejoicing suffering, or by both, to

What Led Him to Jesus.

DR.. r. A. Torrey tells a beautiful
story OF man in Chicago who had
a sweet little daughter He loved
her dearly, but God took that little
child away from him. The house
was so lonely, and he was so angry
against God that he went up and
down his room far into the night
cursing God for having robbed him
of his child At last, thoroughly
worn out, and in great bitterness OF
spirit, he threw himse! on his bed.
He dreamed he stood beside a river.
Across the river in the distance he
heard the singing Of such voices az
he had never listened to before. Then
he saw in the distance beautiful lit.
tie girls coming toward him, nearer
and nearer, until at last at the head
of the company he saw his own lit.
tie girl. She stood on the brink OF
the river and called across, Come
over here, father" That overcame
his bitterness; he accepted Jesus and
prepared to go over yonder where
his sweet child had gone.

Physical Tests For Employees.

One of the leading railroad COM
panies in the East has decided to
establish a rule for physical tests
before employing men which will be
as severe as that required for enter
ing the army or navy. This decision
Is based on the new Federal en-
ployers' liability act, passed by the
last Congress, the railroad taking
the position that in order to avoid
the payment of heavy damages 1t
will be necessary to require a high
err degree of efficiency among en-
ployes than heretofore.
The travelling public will be pleas
ed to learn of the new rule AS a
general proposition, railroad men are
a rugged lot, but the reports of the
Interstate commerce commission
show that many accidents are traced
to the physical inefficiency of rail
way trainmen. 1t will be better for
mankind il employees charged With
the transportation and care of hui
man lives are required to show a
clean bill of mental and moral
health before they secure or are al
lowed to retain their positions

F. L. Proctor, president of the

Tempe yesterday after a short busi-

Tempe during the winter. and states
that it is very pleasant down there
during this time of the year. He has
been visiting Cananea for few days
and found everything in good shape.
In speaking tf the cattle, consisting
of some $4,000 head, Mr.. Proctor said
that they were in excellent shape.
I'VE are well fenced and there is no
show for the cattle from the south
coming in contact with our cattle
and as a consequence there are no
ticks to be found among the cattle of
the Turkey Track company. The
Mexican government is becoming alive
to the situation and fully realize that
they are losing MONEY! when they are
permitting their cattle to become in
tested with ticks and are prevented
from shipping them across the line
