To answer yes" to all Corners and
all demands is doubtless. in the Ian
guage of Uncle Ulick, a mighty owen
fence and a great s%oftener OF the
angles of life. But a time comes to the
most easy when he must answer mo"

that. from long disuse, the word Will
not shape itself; or, If uttered, 1t is
taken for naught. That time had come
for Uncle Ulick. Years g MS age
and experience mad sufficed to curb the
hot blood about him. But he had been
too easy to dictate while he might, and
today he must go the young folks
way, seeing all too plainly the end
of il.
But Colonel John was OF another
kind and another mind. Often in the
Swedish wars had he seen a fair coun-
try-side changed in n day into a
waste, from the recesses of which
naked creatures with wolfish eyes stole
out at night, maddened by their
wrongs, to wreak a horrid vengeance
on the passing soldier. He knew that
the fairest parts OF Ireland had under
gone such q fate within living memory.
Therefore he was firmly minded, as one
man could be, that not again should
the corner of Kerry under his eyes, the
corner he loved, the corner entrusted
TO him, suffer hat fate.
Yet, when he descended to break
fast, his face told no tale of his
thoughts, and he greeted with a smile
the unusual brightness Of the morning.
Nor, as he summed himself and inhaled
with enjoyment the freshness of the
air, did any sign escape him that he
marked a change.

And painted every dying leaf

And towiring stacks OF gather'd grain.

Where Wild plums sweeten in the sun,
And brown. ripe nuts are falling.
Once more the biackbirds' notes I hear,

And blooms the bright frost flower.

Out OF my experience, such as 1t is
(and 1t is limited Fnough) one fixed
conclusion dog rtati-aiiy emerges, and
that is this, that we with our lives are
like islands In the sea, or like trees in
the forest. The maple n the pine
may whisper TO each other with their
leaves, and Conanicut and Newport
near each others foghorns. But the
trees also commingle their roots in the
darkness underground, and the islands
also hang together through the oceans
bottom. lust so there is a continuum
of cosmic consciousness, against which
our individuality builds but ac-
cidental fences, and into which u
several minds plunge as into a
mother sea or reservoir. Dur normal"
consciousness is circumscribed for
adoption to our external earthly en-
vironment, but the fence is weak in
spots, and ftf-l influences from beyond
leak in. showing the otherwise unveri-
fable common connection.
Vast, indeed, and difficult is the In
q~uirer's prospect here, and the most
probably he lust these ding little
mediumistic facts which the Huxleyan
minds of u time find o unworthy of
their attention. But when was not the
science of the future stirred to it's o
quering activities by the little rebel
lious excep ons to the science Of the
present? Hardly. as yet, has the sur
face of tho fccts called psychic" be-
gun to be scratched for scientific pur-
poses. 1t is through following these
facts, l am persuaded. that the great
est scientific ~conquests of the coming
generation will be achieved.

An aching back is instantly

Professor James Confidence.

Extremely significant, following upon
European scientists acceptance of the
supernatural phenomena in the seances
of the Italian medium, Eusapia Palla-
dino, as outlined in this column the
other day, are the admissions of Will
lam James, for 35 years professor OF
philosophy at Harvard and recognized
as one of the greatest living phycholo"
gists. Professor James contributes
The Condolences of a Psychical Re-
searcher'' to the current issue of Nc
Clure's. There is something in" these
phenomena, he declares, rather unwill-
ingly, and concludes that 1T Is in this
field of phychical research that the
greatest scientific ~conquests of the
coming generation will be achieved.

ator has eternally intended this de-
partment of nature TO remain battling,
to prompt u curiosities n hopes

that, although ghosts and c~lairvoyances
and raps and messages from spirits,
are always seeming to exist and can
never be fully explained away, they
also can never be susceptible OF full
confederation.

that they constituted quorum of the

strains of martial music. The strangers
who remained devoted the day to

The inauguration concerts have
been largely attended. Members of
the inaugural committee say that it is
assured of surplus over the

last December. The festivities will
wind up with the fifth of the in

CHRISTIE COMP any FAILS
w. NJ. WhiteIaw Appointed Receiver
by Wyandotte County Court.

Kansas City, Mo-. March 6.-The
Christie Grain company of Kansas City,
Kan, has failed. Judge Fisher of the
Wyandotte county district court, has
appointed w. NJ. Whitelaw as receiver
for the firm The liabilities will reach
about $125, 900.
The Christie company was the heav-
lest operator in grain, stocks and pro-
visions on the Kansas Board of Trade.
1t had no correspondents in the prin-
cipal cities in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado.
Two hours after the s"tickers" and
telegraph instruments were silenced and
the so employees discharged and paid on,
a petition alleging insolvency was pre-
sented to Judge E. L. Fischer on behalf
of C. C. Christie, owner of 246 shares OF
the company's stock The petition set
forth that the assets were less than
the indebtedness of the company, and
because of the danger of the creditors
attaching the assets and dlss1patlnS
them in costs and expenses, receiver
was asked.
Acting upon the petition Judge
Fischer appointed Mr.. Wh1telaW, an
attorney as receiver for the company
charge of the company's headquarters.
The Christie Grain company was Or
ganized in Kansas City, KAN, ABOUT
two wears ago under Kansas charter
with a capital stock of $25O,OOO, G. Z:

most of the stock was president. Bruce
