st. Peter Whacked Him

Charles NJ. Cross of Indianapolis
thinks variety adds spice to life, SO he
went to a splritualistic service.
1t was a lively affair, with sepulchral
voices sounding through trumpets tam
bourines playing mysteriously in mid
air, and cold, clammy hands of partly
materialized men and women making
free in the dusky room with those who
were in the flesh In the midst of 1t
something dealt Mr. Cross a vicious
whaCk on the nose, and he called for
lights in a tone not to be disobeyed
With the light the circle as disclosed
was all natural and human again. The
most human member Of 1t was Mr.,
Cross, with a bloody nose, spelling for
a hghI, and all the "madder" because
he did not know whom to fight.
The medium said the. gay spirit was
that CT ST. Peter.
But even this explanation did not sat
lsfy Mr.. Cross.
"Well. all / ask OF St. Peter" he
said, ''is to mateTialiZe for just one
minute, and II ! don't make a vacancy

The junior partner dropped the re-

ShreWd.

Mis-. Mary A. Hartman, widow of the
railroad financier, deserves credit for
part OF the wonderful success her hus-
band won. Since his death she has
proved herself remarkably shreWd
business woman. She has managed his
estate practically without aid. She has
managed a dairy company. cOstrolled a
street railway company, a gold mine,
an iron mine. a bank, a blast furnace,
and has had much to say concerning the
railroads in which her husband at one
time was a power. With all those things
on her mind, Mrs Hartman has given
much time and study to charitable and
philanthropic enterprises.-New York

The only drinking water available on
Christmas Island Is to be obtained by
sinking beach wells-pits dug above the
level of the thin tides and sunk below the
level of the low tide. Each well yields
gold water for about three days, and
when 1t begins to smack of salt, others
must be dug, The few ebee3.aut trees to
