Is SHE DEAD?

A sensation Of extraordinary pro-
portions has been crented IN Christian
Science circles. throughout the coun-
try. by the open statement given to
the public on Monday Of this week,
by Mrs, Della NJ. Gilbert. OF New
York. who is one Of the most proni-
nent and conspicuous Christian Sci
ence workers Of that city, and who
claims Tint she has had "a message
direct from God declaring that Mrs.
Mary Baker O. Eddy. the head OF the
church, Is either dead. or q helpless

scieneeless mon. aud charging the

Az viii be seen from the language
quoted from the message received by
Mrs. Gilbert, God wasn't sure whether
Mother Eddy was really and truly
dead. or only imbecile, and that lack

the outsider as a very peculiar cir

The Chanute times., 1909-04-09

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile during his
term as President, much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufac-
turers for the honor of selling him
car and the public watched with in
terest to see what Mr.. Taft's choice
would be. The knowing ones predicted
that the White Steamer would be Sc
lected and they pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had used White Steam
ers for two years at his summer home
at Oyster Bay and had recommended
this make to Mr. Taft as the most de-
sirable.
This prediction proved correct, al
though Mr.. Taft did not rely solely
on Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation,
but with his usual thoroughness, de-
termined to have an investigation
made of all the principal makes. Ac-
cordingly, he asked several officers OF
the War Department to look into the
matter for him, and they tested many
makes of cars. visited a number of
factories so that they might see what
materials were used, and finally, they
investigated the records of the differ
ent types of cars in public contests
and in private service.

TT WAS NOT HER BACK. :
Woman Had No Idea Of Being Proxy
for Medical Treatment.

A missionary, discoursing upon
India, told of woman who had come
to her complaining of a very sore
back and desired that she pray for Its
cure This Mrs. Jackson did, but the
woman again appeared before her and
declared that the back was still in
bad condition. Mrs. Jackson advised
the use of an application of iodine,
and brought out bottle of the drug
10 apply upon the afflicted part of the
woman's anatomy. But she regarded
the bottle suspiciously and acted as
though 1t would hurt her were she to
use 1t. To allay her fears upon this
score Mrs. Jackson applied some OF
the drug to her own finger and showed
her that 1t would not burn, and that
she had better allow her to put some
OF it upon her back
But" said the woman, ut would
do no good"
How so?" inquired Mrs. Jackson,
sympathetically
Because replied the woman, 1t Is
my old mans back that is sore"
