WONDERFUL GIFT
Is a Genuine Human Lode
stone.
Can Raise Blister on the Skin OF
Any Human Being by a
Simple Touch.

Edgar v. Benham. of Vancouver and
canandaigum. calls attention TO a
freak he recently saw in Tacoma, a
cook of the name Of p. Arnold "a
years of age, but hooking not over
40 While Arnold was under arrest in
the police station he borrowed billy,
laid one end in tine palm Of his hand.
and defied any policeman TO remove
it After a score of officers had Civ
en- up the job the strong man of the
force grasped 1t, and in fierce strug
gle succeeded in moving It a fraction
of an inch.
Mrs. Arnold charged that her hus-
band was inclined 10 make love to DIN
women. so she rad him locked up.
His neck was almost lacerated by her
nails. She is tine boss. In her hands
he is as meek rs mouse. "One OF
her violent moments" said the cook.
He called for billiard cue rubbed his
hands together sunartly, then balanced
the stick across tine open palm OF
his right hand and called upon the
strong man Of Tire farce to take "
away. With al his strength the off,
Ger succeeded in lifting It an eighth
of an inch. Demanding a second trial,
he broke tire small end OF the cue
but the butt stih remained in the
open palm and refused TO be budg-
ed.
The police were awestruck. Il can
raise a blister upon the skin Of any
human being" said Arnold, by a
slight touch of my hand You strong
officer, allow me TO touch you on The
cheek" Rubbing his hands vigor-
ously together. Arnold approached the
group Of policemen, when al fled pre-
cipitately, uhe strong man making for
the street in a panic. That fellows
hand is as hot as a poker" he cried;
don't nave anything 10 do with him.
Sure he's the DEVILS first eousin!"
Here was an interesting experiment:
Chief Detective Fitzgerald was asked
to hold a pencil upright on table
by placing one finger on IRE top.
Arnold then held the pencil lightly
between his thumb and forefinger
about the middle, VIXEN 1t began to
peck off in the Morse code. After
listening a few minutes the cook
pointed to the electives eft leg
and announced that an old scar
would be found at q certain spot.
Fitzgerald amazed rolled up his
trousers and exposed TIE scar. A
similar experiment was tried on Capt.
Read and the pencil licked out that
ne had a lame ankle aud had been
seriously III seven years ago. The
diagncss was absolutely correct. Ar
mold I'D never seen either man be-
fore.
Arnold, like most Of tae freaks Of
human nature is common good-na-
tu,ed fellow, positively Al.-e,ate, and
ever &C the mercy, i, seems, OF MS
wife's temper and finger rails. How
is It that man can be so wonder
full a lion, so mysterious a power, IA
public yet be controlled at rome by a
pinch OF woman? Why oanno, le
raise bi.ssteIs on Mrs. Arnold and stop
her foolisnness? He offered % make
a royal test of his powers in tine
presence OF he 20 1ce authorities A
negress was under arrest on a choIge
of stealing $40. 81 will locate lie
SIS if she stole IT," said the cook;
"if sac stole il and hid It III tell
you where it is." Mr.. Bel-am is
awaiting ire test.
Why cannot educated persons attain
this wonderful gift? 1t seems always
10 be the privilege Of tre ignorant

ton. Il may lot be acquired by any
manner Of means; but must lie in

is a freak, pure and simple. He does

of MS mysterious power. Ii does not
