pondent sent out story the other
day which deserves place of honor
among che boldest canards that ever
found their way from the Metropolis
into the columns of unsophisticated
country newspapers. The yarn was
of woman with mole in her chest.
According to the writer, who Is eth
er a powerful bidder for membership
in the Ananias club or for a padded
cell in Bellevue hospital, the woman
swallowed the mole when 1t was
very young, without knowing That
she had done SO. The animal con-
tinued to live and thrive and finding
the stomach too close quarters made
Its way into the woman's chest,
where 1t continued to live for several
years. Lately--only lately-so the
correspondent stated, the presence of
the full grown mole in her chest
caused some slight inconvenience to
the woman and she consulted o doc,
tor. The learned disciple of Aescul-
apius at once diagnosed the case as
"mole-itis" and promptly amputated
or otherwise surgically removed the
mole, to the utmost relief of the
mole-ridden patient. She Is doing
well now, thank you.
Whether 1t is a scarcity of news
owing to the absence from the United
States of Theodore Roosevelt, or
some other reason, that prompts cor
respondents to send out similar
yarns, is difficult to determine. U.s.
ually these yarns make their appear
ance in print simultaneously with
sea-serpent stories during the broil-
ing "dog-days," but this year they
are coming, like Easter, little ahead
of time. Another capital yarn was
that sent out by an Ithaca correspon-
dent, saying that experiments at the
poultry department of the New York
State College of Agriculture had
proven that by feeding certain dye

A "MOle" Story That Is

New York, February 26.-What Is
the use OF worrying over the high
cost OF living, the greed OF trusts
the corruptness of politicians, poor
health and equally poor business,
who everybody, by a simple trick
can be happy and attain anything he
or she may wish? The problem of
perpetual happiness has been solved
at last and Mrs. Julia S,ton Sears
has done it. ne Is a priestess of
The New Thought and those who had
the opportunity to hear her at the
New Thought Matinee at the Belasco
theatre the oother afternoon were
surprised when she explained to them
how easy 1t Is to be perfectly happy.
Why, any child can do 1t. All you
have to do Is to close your eyes,
breathe deeply and concentrate your
mind upon whatever you desire, be
it health, wealth or new automo-
bile. If you keep 1t up long enough
you are sure to get all you wish,
perhaps even more. There were sew
eral hundred men and women In the
audience at Mrs. Sears matinee and
all of them shut their eyes, breathed
deeply and, presumably, concentrated
their minds upon their individual
pet wishes. This period Of New
Thought exercise lasted about fifteer
minutes and II the people in the audi
ence did not keep up their deeI
breathing and concentration Ions
enough to bring their vibrations II
harmony with their aura" whatever
that may mean. Mrs. Sears says shj
knows, but for some reason or othel
she won't tell. OR at least not so tina
other persons can understand 1t.
