Ellises Held over at the Airdome.
1t was with difficulty that Madame
Ellis and her genial husband cancelled
their engagement in another city in
order to favor Keokuk at the urgent
request Of Manager Hull and many of
his patrons with four more days of
their phenomenal work in the science
of mental telepathy.
That they have made decided hit
here and that their work has made
great impression is evidenced in the
great volume OF mail addressed to
them in care of the Airdome, contain
ing all sorts of questions of private,
public and political nature, etc.
Their work is SO far beyond an
ordinary mind to fathom that the writ
er can only say it Is inexplainable.
! It is quite evident that Madame Ellis
reads the thoughts of those in the
audience without their saying word.

Shop Hands And The Farm

When the city toier is advised, as he
often is, to turn to tine soil that he may
escape mere drudgery, better his condi-
ton and win an independence, the OBJ
ection is as often raised that by taking
this advise he may do nImseIr and those
depending upon him more harm than
good. 1t seems to be assumed that he
cannot adjust himself to farm life, that
it would be useless for him to try. In
time he comes to accept this doctrine
himself, and to be guided by It. Doubt
less there are cases in which the change
would not be advisable; doubtless there
have been instances in which the change
has rather been disastrous than other
wise; but 1t is fact, nevertheless, that
the farming communities of the West
have always been recruited to a greater
or less extent from the city factories.
The Kansas City Journal recently re-
called an interesting incident to West
ern farm life having direct bearing on
this subject. About 81 years ago ii num-
Der of German mechanics, artisans and
shopmen in Cincinnati factories threw
dnwn their tools and moved their families
out TO Kansas. They knew nothing OF
agriculture, or next to nothing, and for
two or three years they met with every
form of disbursement and much hard
ship. But they We're more or less philo-
sophical and in the midst of the trou-
hles they would come together and dis
cuss the situation, asking themselves
and each other whether they were any
worse eff, on the whole, ,nan If they had
stayed a their benches. They decided
that they we're not. They were, at least,
able to get living, and they were able
to look forward to something more.
These farmers today are a mong the
wealthiest in the State.
The incident is brought forward at this
time with view ~ controvertng ,'ne
of argument that is doing much toward
deterring men of like voca;:ons and
qualities in all of the industrial centres
from following in the footsteps of the
Cincinnati Germans. The impression has
