S ALWAYS SOME CELEBRITY


Dr. JsAa Sears, Head Of the New
Thought School" says: There are
enough people On the planet today who
remainder ono or more Of their incar-
nations to make It q certainty that re-
incarnation Is positive fact
All right, doctor: we'll add this to
our list Of positive facts. which IL al
ready become somewhat unwieldly.
Still. there is Z question which has been
puzzling us good wnile. and We now
make bold to ask: Why is 1t that,
among all those people who remem-
Der one or more Of their incarnations,
not one can remember being an hod
carrier, an undertaker's assistant. or
an ONCE boy in q soap factory? There
q strong tendency to run toward
royal families, court musicians, and
philosophers. Two or three persons
can distinctly remember having been
Joan Of Arc, and the number of rein
carnated Napoleons and Louis Four
teenths is growing all the time. But
the man we are anxious to meet IL
the chap who can remember with
pleasure his incarnation as tho
brawny white wings" who pushed tn
scoop around tho arena OF the Roman
Coliseum after tho show was over and
the animals retired, or the employe Of
the Imperial Health Department
whose duty it was to descend into tho
Cloaca Maxima when 1t got clogged.
Another New Thought which comes
at this moment is In connection with
the statement Of DR.. Sears that she
was the Italian singer Marsha 400
years ago, was bitterly discontinued,
and now she longs to sing and cannot.
There's matter for Illumination in this.
We shall hurry away now to tell the
young woman In the apartment ad-
Joining ours that the reason she longs
to sing, or thinks she can sing, and
cannot, is because she had sweet
pipe several hundred years ago and
didn't make tho most of it.-Puck.

was rather good looking, and she was
