The Answer.

This incident happened. To those who
phenomenon they had ever witnessed.
At least that is how It happened to all
but the medium. And the medium was
myself Would you like to know how
it was done? I will tell you.
No spirit stopped the clock. No me-
chanical means stopped It, Even did
not stop It. IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THE CLOCK WAS NOT GOING AT
ALL! How and why was ticking
heard?"
Here is the whole story: Back of me.
on a roll-top desk, 1 had previously
placed a very tiny alarm clock, noted
for its loud tick. Nobody thinks of a
clock until you mention it, When I
said You hear the ticking over there
OVER THERE" the audience imag-
ined the sound emanated from the di-
rection l pointed; and, by suggestion.
on which is based hypnotism, by the
way, they had placed 1t as coming from
the silent clock on the mantel Then,
while they were listening for the unex-
pected, half turned to the opposite wall.
I had. unobserved, slipped my finger to
the pendulum, stopped the alarm and
dropped the clock into a drawer!
But then how was the other clock
the exact timer"
Before the audience had arrived
had placed the hands ahead several
hours and had brought my experiment
to conform to the very minute l had
arranged N1yag etr
of lightning l had casually looked at
my watch The mystery of the night,
the darkness, the wonders already wit
messed, had all aided me to fool these
intelligent people, among whom were a
magazine writer an artist two theat-
rical folks, and several writer's and law
yers.
Now consider this: That this expert
ment was far more dramatic and mex
plicable than is generally seen at pro-
tessional seances, where money is paid
for admittance. Yet on incidents such
as these, the credulous people of the
masses are convinced Of spiritism and
defrauded by takers, whose wonders I
warrant could be unraveled as simply
as the one l have just recorded. l did
these things to study and expose. Pro-
fessionals do them for money. Is it not
highly probable that others who earn
their living at this mockery are forced
to work out similar "wonders?" l do
not say spiritualism is wrong. do not
essay TO pass judgment on this great
question. 1t is against the takers that 1
direct my campaign, beseeching every
sensible man and woman to save their
hard-earned money and evade them.

Only Milk.

MIX, milk, nothing but milk-that
is what my mother brought me up
on. None OF her children had any
other article Of diet until they were

The Solitude.

Think of what the ambitious man
suffers when he is married to a woman
who never wants to advance one step,
who never sees why he wants 10 make
change. and whom he has to fight
at every step OF his progress. Think
of the solitude Of soul of a man married
to a woman with whom he can never
discuss a book he has read, or a play
he has seen, or an opera he has heard !;
who never even comprehends anything
that he tries to tell her that is more
psychic than the price OF butchers meat.
Not always the woman who never
could know, and never could under
stand is a vampire. Only too often
she is just dull and stupid wife, with
out brains or Imagination or aspiration
So ] say to the man who is hesitat-
ing between his career and his pretty
ambitioness, unintelleCtual sweetheart
to choose the career He will soon out
grow her anyway, and il is far. far bet
ter for both that this ineyitable separa-
ton should come before they are mar
ried than afterward.
