Said He Would Be Called

He knew too much of the world be-
yond." Mrs. Barnes added For six
years the spirits have warned him,
and time and again, that his know
ledge was not for mortal man. He
thought to evade the responsibility by
keeping his knowledge to himself, but
only week ago he told me that the
message had come, that he had eaten
of the fruit of the tree of knowledge,
and that, it was only question of a
day when the spirits would call him
and he would have to go"
The police explanation of Barnes
suicide is that he was temporarily in
sane through excessive study Bar
nes' pupils do not accept the theory
that financial worries had anything
to do with the deed.
1t was declared today by man who
knew Barnes that it is quite probable
that the wellknown psychologist
killed himself to solve mysteries which
could in no other way be solved, but
of which he believed he had, in in
vestigations, gathered an inkling.

Such is Fame.

Scotland has a great reputation for
learning in the United States, and a
lady who came over from Boston ex-
pected to find the proverbial shepherd
quoting Virgil and the laborer who
had Burns by heart, says the Glas-
gov News. She was disiliusioned in
Edinburg. Accosting a policeman
she inquired as to the whereabouts OF
Carlyle's house
What Carlyle?7 he asked
Thomas Carlyle" said the lady.
What does he do?" queried the
guardian of the peace.
He was a writer-but he's dead,
she faltered.
Well, madam the big Scot in
formed her, 'if the man is dead over
five years there's little chance of find
ing out anything about him in big
city like this"

After a while the ticket agent

COTTON PRICES

Extreme dizziness ruled in the local
cotton market yesterday the sales be-

Buyers had orders only at reductions

very many even at the lower price.
Factors were not offering at this

Only the better grades were salable.

A week before the Christmas holt
days Princeton undergraduate who
lived in Chicago wished to start home
thus gaining a weeks vacation on the
other students. He had, however,
used up all the absences from recita-
tions which are allowed, and any
more without good excuse would have
meant suspension. In a quandary he
hit upon this solution; he telegraph
ed his father the following message !:
Shall | come home by the b. &
O., or straight homer"
The answer he received read:
Come straight home"
An exhibition of the telegram to
the faculty was sufficient.

UNSEEN HANDS

Eminent Psychologist Gould
Not Resist,

Boston. Mass. Nov. 30.-That Prof.
William A. Barnes, the eminent psy-
chologist, who took his own life by
shooting in the railroad station last
night, had delyed so deeply into the
realms of the beyond and knew so
much of the occult that he was forced
to follow the reckoning of immortal
hands and enter the unknown, was the
sensational statement of his wife to-
day.
THAT is the only possible explana-
ton of my husbands death, she
said For six years, | know that
spirits have been Turing him to
death. For six years he has fought
increasingly against the call of the
unseen, and often he has told me of
the lures and temptations that the
unseen spirits have placed in his
path.
