But when the manager received the hat

The Bishops Against the Wo-
mans Petition

For some months the Methodist women
Of the Home Mission society have been
pleading for more authority over the
money they collect from the various or
ganizaztions of the church, and they
made an appeal to the general conference
for a ruling to that effect, but the bish-
ops took a running start on these women
and brought in a judgment against them
before the case ever had hearing.
Entrenched with a life tenure of Of
fee, with handsome salaries and a large
guaranteed pension to their widows, IL
their wives outlive them, they are In
position to appear both high and lofty
and to lay down their dictum as the SUI
preme voice of the church. But ii is thus
with all reforms, and in spite of the
dictum the woman's movement for equal
rights with the laity goes marching on
1t is not improbable that the bishops
may need some votes in the days to come
to hold on TO their own positions, for
they can set it down in their ledgers that
great many believers In Methodist doc
trines are not falling over themselves in
their fondness for the rule of bishops.

Chief Warrior had several slaves. so
when me moving began he had many
trips to make. For, you see, every mas

and carry it to the summer home. The
more slaves. the more trips.
On one of these trips a dog scared
Chief Warrior into dropping his slave

II slate writing has deceived it's thous-
ands, the tricks of the sealed letter and
pellet writer have deceived their tens OF
thousands. The list of these tricks is so
long, the variations of each trick are so
many, and the results so thoroughly
mystifying to the unlnitiated, that 1t is
small wonder that even the highly intelli-
gent at last are forced to the conclusion
that there Is truth in the work of the
spiritualist. 1t is of no use to trust one
eyes in these things, for seeing is not
always believing. The profits that grow
out of exhibitions of sealed letter tricks
are so great that they can be arranged
with very elaborate settings.
Here. for instance, is an account or
seance that has mystified every living
soul who has attended 1t, with the pos
sible exception of the few experts in the
arts Of legerdemain who have come TO
get ideas. Sitters are asked to write
their names and their questions on paper
brought by themselves, or even to write
