If there is a time when a per

to the extent they are above

Inspiration comes when the

Every one should learn to keep

The Science Of
Mind Communion

The transmission Of speechless
thoughts from one mind to an
other rests upon scientific
bases There is thought com

tween people even when they are
hundreds or thousands of miles
apart. There is a scientific bases
upon which such speechless com

if understood as communion by

have of other people go to them
though the bosom of space re-
gardless ot distance and are felt
and thought at the other end OF
the line by those YOU think OF.
Distance and time are asnothing
in the bosom of eternity. The
thoughts you think and the
things You feel within your soul
are in eternity even while you
are in the flesh.
At the rate knowledge is in

Meant to Fight
The Mormons

At one time it was my inten-
tion to make a fight against the

i'leas for showing up the folly
Of some of the Mormon teach
ings. But alas when l come to

made the discovery that there is
hut one way ofmaking a success
ful fight against the Mormons
and that is to live a cleaner,
purer and a more moral life than
they do. What was to be done
than asked in my own mind
and the only answer that come
was to out do the MOrmons by
living a better life than they do.
Well | tried to do that and failed
and then l gave up the idea of
fighting the Mormons.
There was still another reason
why | should not fig ht the Nor
mons in the usual way, by call
ing them bad people and tearing
down their faith. My parents
were Mormons from the early
history of the church, back as
far as 1881 and how could
fight the Mormons with o
fighting my parents. But says
one you was not a Mormons at
the time you went to fight them.
You see it was like this. l was
for twenty years trying to be an
Inhdel but had to give it up at
last. How could | be an Inhdel
when | had seen ghosts from my
childhood days? | read all the
standard Inhdel books and was
called an Infidel but | was not.
But did you really try to live
a cleaner and purer and a
more moral life than the Nor
mons do you ask. Well. yes in
a sense | did. l thought that
could be done since | never
smoked a cigarette in my life
never smoked a cigar, never
che we'd a chew of tobacco
never was but once under the in
fluence of liquor in % years
never say anv cuss words, pay
my debts and try to do as
would be done bv, | found out
that all OF those things are com
mandable with the Mormons
but are not sufficient of them
selves to constitute a Mormon
A Mormon must have faith il
the devine mission of Joseph
Smith, must obey the priesthood
and must not presume to know
anything that might conflict

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE

New York, May 1.-THE stock mar

disturbed political outlook, the fire.
uuent legislative attacks upon capital,
the prospect of tariff revision, the To-
bacco and Oil cases before the supreme
court, the death of King Edward, the
constitutional crisis in England, the
increase OF from $4,000. 900 to $780,
100000 in railroad wages, the high
cost of commodities, the unfavorable
balance in our foreign trade, the rapid
growing conservatism among bankers
at the west, the land boom in that sec

pig iron production and the shutting
down of the cotton mills. These and
other adverse influences which exert

he LEAPS TO DEATH
Prominent Chicago Business
Man Suicides in Cham
Der of Commerce.
DEATH SENSATIONAL ONE

Chicago. May 17.-John Albert Ry-
erson. aged "A, member of one of the
most prominent families in Chicago,
committed suicide last evening by hurl
ing himself from the thirteenth floor
of the Chamber of Commerce to the
marble floor. being crushed to a shape
less mass by the terrible impact.
Fortunately the corridor was com
paratively empty at the time and no
other person was endangered.
Ryerson was famous as tennis
player. He was a member of the most
exclusive clubs and president of the
Ideal Electric Automobile company.
He married a daughter of Rev James
X. Stone. the latter being rector of st.
James's Episcopal church. the largest
sanctuary of that denomination in the
city.
Mr. and Mrs. Ryerson moved in the
most exclusive society circles. They
had one child lha years old and were
expecting another next month.
Mrs. Ryerson is FRUSTRATED and in a
very serious condition as a result of
the tragedy.
The only reason that can be assigned
for the suicide is worry over financial
matters. Mr.. Ryerson became presi-
dent of the automobile manufacturing
concern last fall. Its factory is run.
ming night and day, but he seemed per-
picked by the finances OF the concern.
There were some theories last night
that he did not commit suicide. but be-

preaching summer. This elimination
of bitterness from British politics will
inevitably have favorable effect upon
financial affairs in London. 1t is quite
likely that the young king. though at
present naturally less popular than his
royal father. will give the British ma
ton wise administrations: and the
German emperor will doubtless be less
jealous of his young cousin than he
seems to have been of his influential
uncle. who did so much to fortify the
British foreign relations.
The outlook in this country depends
chiefly upon the crops. Thus far the
outlook in this respect is satisfactory.
Some damage was done by recent un-
favorable weather. but only in spots
and the injury was much exaggerated
Should the results of the crops reach
Ss,5oOO 100000 to $4,000. 100000, as is
now predicted, good times for the Un-
tied States will be continued. Posi-
bly, our farmers may not secure quite
as large profits in 1910 as in 1900, ow-
ing to the decline in commodities; but
their margin has been unusually wide
and moderate recession will still
yield the agriculturist good returns at
the time affording some relief to the
consumer who has been compelled to
pay Unfortunately high prices during the
past year. 1t is true that western
bankers show a more conservative spi-
rit than was anticipated a month ago
and somewhat higher rates of money
are expected to prevail in the west in
consequence. Nevertheless, money
will be fairly abundant and easy un-
til the new crops begin to move. which
will be about September /. AS already
stated stocks have had a very consid-
cradle decline from the high mark, and
it is evident that powerful financial in
terests are under the market; their sup
port being rendered necessary by the
issue of large amounts of new bonds
and short term notes during the cur
rent month. At present the outlook
is comparatively free of breakers
ahead.

Mayor Zimmerman's attitude to-
wards the ordinance is much like it
has been. He belives in allowing the
boys to enjoy themselves to their
hearts content. He did not state
general impression was that he would.
He said, however, that he believed the
measure should not have been passed
on suspension of the rules.

Yet that whole enormous expanse of

In some places they are more thinly

There are begemmed knots in that

Yet science. although 1t shrinks from
trying to estimate the space which
they occupy. has succeeded in forming
fairly correct enumeration OF the

not put the number at more than &c.,
