DO They All Really Come From Minds
of the Living?
Perhaps all the so called messages
from the dead come from living minds
! mean the minds Of those about us.
DR. Reed, a friend of mine. once ar
ranged to go with a patient to have a
test sitting with a very celebrated
psychic who claimed to be able to read
sealed letters. Just before the ap-
pointed day Reeds patient died sud
denly of heart disease. leaving a sealed
letter on his desk.
The doctor. fully alive to the sin
guiar opportunity, put the letter in his
pocket and fastened to the medium.
The magician took it in his hand and
pOndered. At last he said: This was
written by a man now in the spirit
world. 1 cannot read it. There isn't
a medium in the world who can read
it, but if you will send it to any per
son anywhere on the planet and have
it read and resealed / will tell you
what is in it. l cannot get the words
unless some mind in the earth plane
mas absorbed them"
That would seem to prove sort OF
universal mind reservoir, wouldn't It!
Isn't that a staggering hypothesis

A DISCARDED THRONE.
Louis NapoIeon's State Chair, Which
Was Not Used.


Was Not Used.
On the eve of the Franco-German
war when the Emperor Louis Napo~
leon entered upon the conflict which
ended so disastrOusly to himself and
his countrymen a cC&ple of strangers
appeared at a German town. They
brought with them a large packing
case, which on their arrival was car
ried to a hotel. Here the unknown Wis.
itOrS remained some time and eventu-
ally disappeared without paying their
bill, which amounted to a considerable
sum.
The landlord, whose curiosity had
often been aroused with reference to
the possible contents of the case, at
last determined to open it, and on do
ing so found a handsomely designed
and richly upholstered state chair
This was adorned with the French i'm
perial arms, eagle and Louis Napole
On's monogram, and beneath it was
musical box which played when the
cushion was sat upon.
1t is supposed that the throne-for
such it IS believed to have benin the
event of success attending the French
army was to have been used by the
emperor at Berlin after the capture Of
the German metropolis. Fate, hOwev-
er, spoiled the imperial plans; hence
the sudden and precipitate fight of the
custOdians Of the chair. The widow of
the hotel keeper a few years later sent
it to England where it eventually
found a purchaser.-Stray Stories.

NO INSPIRATION TO
BE FOUND IN BOOZE

Paris, Jan. 17.-That alcohol Is
not an inspiration to the artist or the
writer and that all their best work is
done without the assistance of wine,
beer. whiskey or absinthe is set forth
in a concensus of the competent just
published In Paris periodical. The
editor of the journal wrote to all of
the leading artists ana literary men
of France. asking If any of their best
work was accomplished under the in
fluence and inspiration of alcoholic
beverages. Without single dissent
ing voice. all replied that they had
never found inspiration in the flow
Ing bowl. Bacchus and the Muse
are incompatible spirits. according to
the distinguished men who testified
against John Barleycorn. The poets,
who are popularity supposed to be
especially addicted to drink. were
even more emphatic In their denun-
citation of alcohol than the painters.
sculptors, novelists and essayists.
While the French artists and men
of literature were unit in declar-
ing against alcohol, many volunteered
the information that tobacco. tea
and black coffee contain real inspir-
alton. Several poets testified that
without the solace of Lady Nicotine
many of their best verses would have
remained unwritten, while numerous
other writer's and artists have found
real inspiration in cup of coffee.

BOOKER I. WASHINGTON
WILL OPPOSE MIR. TAFT

New York, Jan. 17.-New York
politicians attribute a hidden sig
nificance to the appearance on the
same platform here today of Gov
ernor Hughes and Dr. Booker T.
Washington, the colored educator
and president of Tuskegee institute.
DR.. Washington is admittedly the
leader of American negroes and his
influence will go far toward determ-
ining the Southern vote in the Re-
publican national convention. That
his meeting with Hughes today may
result in increasing the popularity of
the latter among the negroes is quite
possible.
That DR.. Washington Will not
openly espouse the cause of Secretary
Taft, despite the friendship of the
negro educator for President Roose-
welt, is almost a foregone conclusion.
The majority of the Southern me-
groes. according to men familiar
with the political situation in the
South, favor the candidacy of Sena-
tor Foraker because of the stand he
took in the Brownsville affair.
1t is believed that DIR. Washington
is shrewd enough to realize the i'm
possibility of securing the nomina-
ton of Foraker, and farseeing
enough to perceive that. If possible,
it would only be harmful to the me-
gro race, since 1t would make racial
animosities an issue of the campaign.
Dr. washington is too firm a friend
of President Roosevelt to advocate
the nomination of the chief execu-
tives chief political enemy.
All of these facts lead the wise
ones to believe that DR.. Washington
will come out in favor of Governor
Hughes and that he will use his in
fluence to bring his millions of ad
mirers to the same opinion. So far
DIR. Washington has not expressed
himself definitely on the political
situation, but great pressure Ia being
brought to bear on him by the negro
leaders of the South. To a greater
extent than any other man DIR. Wash
ington carries the Republican influ-
ence of the South in his possession,
aud when he does speak 1t will be
with the wisdom and finality of an
oracle.
The Foraker forces realize this and
have done their utmost to persuade
the great educator to announce him
self in favor Of the Ohio senator. II
they succeed. Foraker will have q
fighting chance in the convention. II
they fail. the Foraker boom will be
dead.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
O O @ O "a O O O O O O 1

One of the brightest and most
amusing of the new comedies of the
theatrical year is "Tilly Olson"
Swedish-American dialect play. The
principal role is that of a young
Swedish girl, sort of Scandinavian
Sis Hopkins-an entirely new and
novel stage role.
There have been stage heroes of
the Swedish-American type before.
but this is one of the first instances
that the playwright has constructed
drama in which the leading role Is
that of young girl of Swedish par
entage. This part is in no sense
parody, but a skillful piece of char
acter study, true to nature AMI with
no exaggeration. The story is melo-
dramatic at times and there are some
stirring episodes woven into the play.
The part of Tilly will be played by
Miss Aimee Common, a vivacious
and eccentric comedienne of rare
merit and charm, who is widely
known as the best Swedish-American
comedienne on the stage. The com
pany has been chosen by Manager
Fred Falkner with care and judg-
ment and the performance will put
