other world constantly, and in some
instances, as was the case with Major
Butt, the beings who addressed her
were persons with whom she had never
been acquainted on this earth. After
discovering her power, she began the
study of psychical science, and has
been member of both the English and
American societies of phychical re-
search.
Turning from the recent messages
Nine de Meissner drifted to the revela-
tions of the world beyond as the
spirits have given her an insight into
it. Heaven, under this portrayal, is
quite a different place from the harbor
of rest into which man is supposed to
pass as it is depicted by theologians.
Beings Live in Communities.
So similar are the conditions in that
life into which one passes at death,
declared Nine de Meissner, that many
of those who meet death suddenly are
not aware of the transition from this
earth into the beyond. In their new
world, she declared, the spirits have
told her there are beautiful houses,
the beings live in communities, follow
regular occupations, and spend their
Efforts in the endeavor to rise to high
er planes. Those who are best fit
ted by their preparation on earth :
as instructors to their less fortuna
associates, and as those who dwell il
lower planes profit by this instruction,
they are raised to higher ones.
Architects, carpenters, painters and
other artisans; Professional, literary
and scientific men pursue their voca-
tions in these communities. There are
beautiful lawns and gardens to adorn
the scenery, and musicales and lee
lures for mental uplift. While there
is a similarity between the conditions
there and here, she said that all the
surroundings are much more perfect.
Though every one Of the beings, in
stead of strumming a harp and basking
in a state Of blissful rest as has here
tofore been depicted, must devote time
to work, each is allowed to select the
occupation for which he has natural
bent, and for which he had desire
here On earth.
Nine de Meissner declared that,
though these beings are now dwelling
in the world beyond, they have signi-
fed to her that they still desire help,
in the form of prayer, from their
friends on earth. They do not wish,
prayers for the Sepose of their souls,
however, she added, but prayers to
aid them, in their work. Just such
prayers, she concluded, as are offered
here on earth for those engaged in ter
irestrial endeayors.

was devilish put out you know, that
I had never tried it so. could know.
From across the hall droned the
voices from the smoking-room-Col-
onel kirkland and the judge debat-
ing something about treaty ports and
the Manchurian railway. Through the
French windows from the open loggia
came the eager, pitched tones of the
professor and the frump-no, Eliza
beth, l misunderstanding Aldeberan
and Betelguese, dead suns, star clus-
ters and the nebular hypothesis.
Within the room Billings had snap
ped out the lights, to bring out the
blazing fire of his treasured ruby,
and from the tray in the dark corner
where he was closing it in his collec-
ton vault, it cleaned like the end OF
a bright cigar. The other four were
absently clutched in my darling's
hand and the crimson shine cleaned
bravely through her finger bars.
Carbuncles-ancient carbuncles," the
professor had called them, that the
Chinese believed their dragons car
ried in their mouths, in their black
caves in days of old, to furnish light
whereby they could see to devour
their victims" And that I believed,
for I could see some practical sense
about it!

the dear, precious cub, hugging his
knee by the mantel, lis where come

"You don't come in," said Billings,
lifting him playfully by the ear; you
come out!" And out they went.
And my dear girl and I were like
what's-his-name's picture-alone at
last, you know. She stirred softly
and her sigh came like the wind
through the trees at night.

them" she said dolefully; "the pro-
fessor says it is the only thing to do"
Jolly shame, l say!" I murmured
Indignantly.
cit seems crime" she said softly,
and there was a little choke in her
voice. She slipped to the soft-tibered
rug before the fire. l gently brought
my chair closer to her.
For a moment she pressed her
cheek against the crimson mass, then
kneeling forward, laid it gently on the
glowing Goals. There was flash, a
lightning blaze of red that almost
blinded us, and then for brief space
a field of shining ash. Against this
the tiny serpent frogs writhed and
twisted and turned at last to leaden
gray. Over the spread of all, swept
wave after wave of golden, GRIM
soned pictures-temples and pagodas
dragons that licked fiery tongues at
us-strange faces that came and went,
leering hideously into our own.
And then of sudden 1t was all
faded-gone! The breeze from the
open window stirred the ashes to the
side. She dropped back with a deep
sigh.

Saluda, in Saluda county, and has
never lived in Johnston nor ever stay
ed there at any time any longer than
he could help Chief Hazel, an
other Johnston man." also lives in
Saluda county. That Johnston News
Manipulator will be claiming it has
bigger circulation than the Standard
next"
The pencil-pusher Of Saluda's Stan
dard Cor Standby should know that,
as a rule OF all newspapers the editor
is not responsible for the views and
assertions of his correspondents. The
article in question, coming from a
young man who is incapable of utter
ing or writing an untruth, was pub
lished without any change or COM
ment on our part, and we hadn't the
least idea that we were committing
such a malicious act as to cause our
esteemed contemporary editor to
stretch his imagination" all the way
from Saluda to Johnston.
We do not question the fact that
Mr.. A. D. Edison. was born On Saluda
soil, but he should not be blamed for
that. In the catalogue of NeWberry
college we find his name enrolled,
"Allen Duncan Edison, Johnston, S..
c." and as Johnston boy he is
known and esteemed by the professors
and his fellow-students as is shown by
Mr.. Yonce's article. Mr.. Eidson's
home may be halfway between John
ston and Saluda, as our able contem-
porary asserts, but the fact that in
having his name enrolled on the col
lege record he gave Johnston as his
postofice, shows that he is either
nearer Johnston or is too modest to
have it known that he is from Saluda.
Mr.. Edison is a young man possessing
high Christian and intellectual traits
and of course the professors, students
and friends of Newberry college are
proud of his college record.
The esteemed Standard (or Stand
By asserts that Mr.. Edison twill
pitch the Saluda team to victory this
summer" but it is not likely that he
will discount the fame he has al
ready won in baseball circles by ap-
pearing on the diamond at the head of
Saluda aggregation.
We rather appreciate the change of
News-Monitor to that of News-Mani-
pulator, as suggested by Saluda' s
Standard Cor Standby. The name is
appropriate in view of the fact that
we manipulate" only clean and de-
cent news, with no attempt at witt
cism with the wit left out
We have never boasted of our cir
culation, but since our learned con-
temporary sneeringly brings the mat
ter up, We will say, without Stretch
ing our imagination" that We believe
that the News-Monitor has as many or
more paid-in-advance subscribers
than the Standard, and double the
amount of advertising and job print
ing.
We dislike to mix up in newspaper
controversies, but this little tilt is the
result of a few little pleasantries ex-
changed with our esteemed contem-
porary, the editor of which we num-
Der among our staunchest friends.
We will pay no further attention,
nor reply to any of our esteemed con-
temporary's gibes. In this day of high
prices we can't afford to waste our
ammunition firing at sparrows and
tomtits
