Have You Lived Before? Over and Over Again,
Says Mrs. Besant; She's Telling Us About II

Mrs. Anna Besant, high priest
ess Of the occult, leader of the
theosophists of the world, is back
in this country from India to give
American audiences the latest
dope on what's going to be what
in the next few hundred years.
Mrs. Besant's general religious
system is well known-a kind of
modified Buddhism. teaching that
one lives again and again, accumu-
lating all the good deeds and all
the bad ones. but gradually weed
ing out the bad ones till perfec-
ton is attained. after which one
won't have to bother about COM
ing back any more.
A criminal can't help being bad,
she says, because he has been
bad through so many lifetimes.
But every time he lives he gets
better. An ultra good man or
genius deserves little credit, for
both are living out their lives as
they have before, living better and
getting smarter.
This time, however, Mrs.
Besant presents some startling
news, fresh from the innermost
regions of the occult.
Christ is coming back to earth,
she says, soon. He has lived sew
|eral times, she says. This time
he will appear in the specially
prepared body of some one in the
biddle west; perhaps a woman,
more likely a man.
"Will we know him?" she asks
and answers: Eyes, those who
know will know. Those who un-
derstand will understand"
With his coming will come a
new age of mantle sixth root
age is her phrasing of it.
1t will be an age of advanced
Christian socialism, when all
men will be equal in the spirit,
when grabbing for gold and trusts
and taxes and tariffs and public
office and rents won't seem worth
while striving for.
The industrial and social prob
lens that vex us now will disap-
pear simply because people won't
be interested in such things
Money will be the cheapest thing
in the world.
1t will be world where Budda,
the spirit, will dominate over Ma
mas, the mind. Mrs. Besant adj
mits that so far Manas has a pref
ty tight cinch on things. But 1t
won't be long, as her reassuring
announcement.
We are getting more sensitive,
more nervous, more susceptible
every year, she says. This is the
preparation for the coming of the
new era.
The Rockefellers and Harri-
mans and Morgans today are in
spite of themselves laying the
foundations of the new age to
come. They are organizing the
means of preserving life SO that

SHALL TAFT PLAY GOLF
OR MEET PEOPLE?

The Collins program called for
but one public appearance of the
president at the exposition, on the
afternoon of September 80. In
the evening he Is scheduled to
attend an exclusive banquet at the
New York state building, and on
Friday. October 1, Mr.. Collins
planned to have the president
spend the entire day at the Sc
attic Golf and Country club, 70
play golf and take luncheon with
few selected guests.
This program does not suit the
exposition officials bit. They
declare that President Taft is not
coming to Seattle to pay an ex-
elusive visit to a few society
folks, but that he is coming to
see the exposition and meet the
people of the state Of Washington
and the Pacific Northwest.

SHUTE TO DEHORN CATTLE.
Without Fear of Injury to
Man or Beast.

James M. Wilson, M. S. A., director
of the South Dakota Experiment sta
ton at Brookings, in response to re-
quest for description of a cattle de-
horning shute, answered as follows:
l have helped dehorn a good many
cattle. My brother and worked out
plans for dehorning rack one day,
which were satisfactory. 1t was SC
much of success that other people
copied it. 1t held the cattle while we
cut off the horns and that was all we
desired. l cannot give you the exact
dimensions of this dehorning rack but
can give you about the dimensions.
1t was eight feet long and about two
feet six inches wide inside. The up
rights on the sides consisted of
three 2x6 and the planks nailed on the
inside were nailed on the edge Of these
upright 2x6. These uprights were
about five feet long. For three feet
from the bottom these planks were
nailed close in order to keep their
feet out when they began kicking. AT
the lower end of these uprights space
of six inches was left and in front
crosspiece of Axe was used on which
to nail the floor. These sides were
bolted to this crosspiece in front at
the bottom and also spiked, having the
crosspiece flush with the bottom ir
front. We had 2x6 crosspiece edge

heavy gate hinges on this Axe at the
bottom. We had regular gate hinges
They must be strong at this place
In the front on one side another
piece of 2xS long enough to go across
the entrance was bolted with siH
gle bolt and on the other side of the
upright 2x6 hole was bored in which
we put a piece of fork handle. This
lever was to catch the cattle by the
head when they came in and at

get their heads stuck in front. Now
the door l speak Of should be boarded
up, not necessarily solid, with 2x6
about three feet high from the floor.
Understand this door falls down in

center of the top. We used clevis

head through wo would press down or

over to the side of the shute. Their
we put a slip moose around his mech
and half hitched it on his nose, an6
pulled his head around to the Other
side of the rack in front. He was per
fectly solid. We used common hand
saw with fine teeth. An ordinary meat

animal would get in the rack we would

shute before you got the door up. Two
men can work big bunch of cattle in
day with a shute Of this kind. Make
your crosspieces on top of 2x6 by
spiking them on sidewise.
We never had an animal hurt itself
nor did we ever have an animal break
the shute in any way. In this swinging
bar that you use to catch them on top,
a small bolt should be put through the
2xS edgewise.

New Tariff Law Working SMOOTH,

Washington.-Infor received
at the treasury from New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia indicates that
the new tariff law is working with un-
expected smoothness.
Generally at the beginning of the
operation of a new tariff law, mat
tiers in the big customs houses are at
"sixes and sevens" for a few days.
but no confusion has yet manifested
itself in the administration of the
Payne tariff law it is said by treas
ury officials. This is accounted for
by reason of the new law having been
constructed on the general lines of
the Dingley act. although, of course,
the figures differ.
"In anticipation OF the enactment
Of the new law, general instructions
were sent by the treasury department
two weeks ago to the collectors of
customs at the various ports of the
United States. The collectors were
directed, pending the arrival in their
offices Of official copies OF the new
law, to collect the duties under the
old law on estimates, but OF to liqui-
date any entries until they had the
new law before them.

It has an inexhaustible, supply. 1t
