SEEK SACRED RIVER
GUIDED BY SPIRIT
Twenty-Six Persons Who
Left Findlay Last March
Still on Hunt.

FindIay, Ohio, June 6.-According
to letters received in Findlay the lit
tie band of Revival Spiritualists that
left Findlay, Sunday, March 10. to
seek a sacred stream in California.
near Los Angeles, have received fur
Their orders from the spirit that di-
reefs them, and they have, according
ly. moved further north to another
spot, which the spirit will point out
to them.
The reason for this second move
is that the spirit has advised them
that Los Angeles, near which they
are now located will be destroyed by
a great earthquake some time during
October. and they must move away
from the spot, in order that they may
not be destroyed along with the iniqui-
tious hosts of that wicked city. They
have been advised as to the exact
time the city will crumble.
The party left Findlay in a special
tourist sleeping car. twenty adults
and children. To finance the trip, val
liable property was sold and the mem
bers of the party had, when they left
here. something like $4,000 in cash.
Since leaving it is stated they have
experienced great trouble in finding
work to earn enough to meet the ex-
penses of the party.
For the exodus the pilgrims plan to
make further north, they have secured
twenty mules, which will convey them
to a point to which the spirit has di-
rected them, where they will await the
final summons to the New Jerusalem,
where the men of the party expect to
be directed to act as the twelve apos-
ties.
Another party is forming here, and
it is expected that sometime next fall
they will leave this city in a special
car for the western state.

will be without a minister if the town

Convicts For Food,

There are many stories Of cannibal-
ism under pressure of famine. but an
incident Of one Of the earliest attempts
to colOnize Buenos Aires Is almost
more horrible. 1t is told by Mr.. a.
Stuart Pennington in The Argentine
Republic" The Indians had attacked
and all but destroyed the settlement.
which was under the orders Of "a cruel
and soullees tyraut," Francisco Ruiz
Galan. The difficulty OF finding food
was such that even vermin failed. and
the bodies OF the dead in the colony
were eaten by the survivors. 1t is re
corded that any excuse was taken by
the hard hearted governor to condemn
men TO death so that their bodies
might serve as food"

A STORY OF MISSIONER.
The Painters Two Breakfasts With .
StinGy Art Patron.


Stinsy Art Patron.
Meissonier once got acquainted with
n Partisan grandee, very wealthy. very
fond Of posing as an art patron. but
slightly penurious. One day Meisso-
MGR, breakfasting with the grandee,
was struck by the beauty Of the tex
ture Of the tablecloth. ''One could
draw upon It," he remarked, and. suit
ing the action to the word, he produced
snowy nap a wonderfully able sketch
of a mans head. The particular table
cloth in question never went to the
wash. The economical SWELL had
the head carefully cut out Of the dam
ask and fastened to frame and glaze
his prize. A few weeks afterward
Meissenier again breakfasted with his
patron and found by the side Of his
plate at the corner Of the table assign
ed to him a neat little sheaf Of crayons
and holders, with penkntfe and some
india rubber.
While the guests. at the conclusion
Of the repast, were enjoying their cof-
fec and cigarettes the host saw with
delight from the corner Of his eye"
that Messonier was hard at work on
the tablecloth, this time with a su-
perb little full length of medieval
halberdier. The party broke up, the
guests departed. and the economical
swell'' rushed back to the dining room
to secure his treasure. But. alas. the
painter had for once shown himself
as economical as his patron! He had
made disastrously good use Of the pen
knife, and one corner Of the tablecloth
was gone, halberdier and all!
