The Lawyers Knew.

Wichita lawyers are yet talking
about the way Wallace B. Baker, who
was found guilty last week In the dis
trict court of selling mortgaged prop
erty. showed his ignorance of mar
ried life. The prosecuting attorney
was trying to show that Baker wasn't
married. He asked Baker the follow
ing questions
did you ever send your wife any
dresses?"
Yes, sent her four dresses"
what kind Of dresses did. you send
herr"
II sent her one good dress and
three common dresses"
How much did you pay for the
good dress, Mr. Baker?"
ooh, guess about $3.50"
The lawyers put Mr.. Baker down
then and there as an unmarried man
and a poor guesser--T Topeka Capital.

PARIS HAS NEW PROPHET
Theosophlsts Believe This Hlndoo the
Precursor of Moral Trans
formation.

Paris.-Theosophists of Europe have
their thoughts directed toward Paris,
for in Paris has arrived a new Hindoo
prophet, who is regarded by many
theosophists as the precursor, the Ill
innate master, who Is to give to the
world its long expected moral trans
formation. He is mere boy, fifteen
years old, and he comes from Adgar In
India. At fourteen he wrote a book
called "At the Feet of the Master"
which has been translated into many
languages and is said by theosophists
to be inspired by high consciousness
OF human needs. To them the prophet
who Is called both Krishnamurti and
Alcyone, confirms by his presence the
assertions of Mrs. Annie Besant in her
address in the Sorbonne last year that
profound change is coming in the
life of humanity and that 1t is to en-
ter upon new phase to be signalized
by the coming Of the master who is to
establish a new religion.
