John Talks.

John Talks.
 In the following seance-held the next afternoon at the special and plaiRtive request of Miss Estrilla- Rosalie Le Grange reached at last the very kernel of the matter.
 She brought John"
 She had prepared. by a special and subsidiary line of play. for this vital move. She had been cultivating Con stance Hanska. With arts all her own, Rosalie broke through the re serves of that distressed widow. From discussion of the murder. Rcsalie led her on to details of her married life. From that, she lUred Constance into deeper condolences, which involved the personal peculiarities of the late Cap tain Hanska, such as his way Of speak ing, the quality of his voice, and his methods with women. When Rosalio settled down to the fifta seanee. she had in her mind a picture CT John H. Hanska which was good enough for any of her purposes,
 The pTeliminaries were over: Laugh Ins-Eyes had gone her babbling way back to the land of spirit; Doctor Carver held control.
 "A spirit has been trying to commu- nicate, but he E new spirit and not yet strong. He says that the lady's sickness is not of the body. It is of the mind He also is not happy yet John was his name on the fesh-plane it is hard-we over here must make an effort-it is strsin on US as on the medium- get an H." In the en. suing silence, Miss Estrilla gave one hard sob
 The silence lasted for half a min ute. Rosalie strained and struggled as though tumult were going on within. Then came a mans voice, higher and softer than that of Doctor Carver.
 T am John, Margaret. I can not stay long. l am not strong-they tell us over here-that we must forgive even as we are forgiven. But-I will come 9 gain"
 70. John-T am trying to forgive oh, Go you uBderstand-wait-" gasped Miss EstriI.a.
 But John spoke 70 more.
 He may s-ow stronger after 8 time, said the voice Q. TscC-or Carver, If this poor earth vezzel thrc-L- which we speak does not bre~-.' So he finished the pertinent part O. -- .' session.
 The seauCes were coming every day now Miss Estrilla wished 1t; and Rosalie granted her request with an Appearance of indulgent reluctance. The next day, John iatruded again. This time, it appeared, he had grown strong enough to speak consecutvely.
 T have not full power yet. But 1t is coming. l grow stronger. But the shock in ay breast-I feel it." That was something of a venture. Rosalie waited to see what reply it would draw.
 The reply came. quick and puzzling:
 Did that come first then? Or, sure

been awakening from trance Of her own accord. Now, she slumbered on for two or three minutes before she let her eyes futter open: her face resume expression.
 Miss Estrilla had controlled her weeping. To Rosaiie's cheerful, Well. was l out long7" she returned no an swer. Rosalie looked at her sharply.
 I'm afraid you shouldn't do this any more-in your state of nerves" she said. "Only reason I've kept 1t up was because 1t seemed to be doin you so much good But today you look all tuckered out. An me-a wet rag is east-iron beside my feelin' this minute. Tell me--was 1t long after stopped talking before l woke up?"
 No. It was shorter than ever be- fore"
 "M-hm! We'll, those that know me better than l know myself have watched my frances. They say that when l wake up soon after the spirits 90. it means just one thins-it seems I'm runnin' down. It's been 8 strain on me for three sittin's. an now that it's beginnin' to tell on you. we'd both better step 1t. guess"
 But Miss Estrilla raised the eye shade; and Rosalie saw that she was weeping again. "oh, just anotherl" sine pleaded. Couldn't you. Mrs. La Grange? There was something more I wanted to ask. Something" she went on, which would seem trivial to you. But to me"
 Now, my dear" interrupted Rosalie. 'I don't want to know anything about what the spirits are sayin' to you. That's your secret" She appeared to hesitate over a decision. Now. I'll tell you what I'll do. I've probably got just about one more sittin' in me, an then I'll be through. I'll git in touch with the spirit tonight, an I'll set with you tomorrow for the last time this spell. Then I must quit"
 I'm yCsy grateful" said Miss Es- trilla, more grateful than you can ever understand"

 Why. feel as weak as water-an' must lock after the ironin' too" she added as she moved listlessly toward the door.

An inebriated gentleman was going
home on evening when he met
young man who was moving to a
new home. The young man was very
frugal and had decided to move his
own things rather pay a mover.
On this trip he had a large hall
clock on his back. 1t was heavy, and
he struggled until he heard the in
ebriated one call out:
SHAY, there you!"
Thinking the man was going to
help him, he set down the clock and
said:
well, sir?"
He was astonished to hear the
other stammer:

MUTT AND JEFF

Somewhat of revelation to the the at. rgoers of this city is the announce m2nt of Manager Reeves of the ElkS theater of the engagement Of Mutt and Jeff" tonight. This play IS afternoon and tonight. This play is a dramatization of the famous cartoons of Bud Fisher of the same name that nave been provoking laughter all over the country for several months past. Mutt and Jeff" it is said, is a little bit on the order of Little Johnny Jones" but on a more gorgeous scale, an,I presented with a larger and better company of players. The play was constructed for laughing purposes only and it is promised that from the rise of the curtain to it's final fall those who witness a performance will be kept in constant uproar.
 The central characters, Mutt and Jeff" are racetrack habituants and at the close of the Saratoga racing season thev find themselves penniless They learn of an immensely rich estate. for which there are no claimants. They also learn that unless claimants appear the estate would probably very soon be confiscated by the government.

With it's action taking place in Washington at the present time and the idea of it's difficulties adrOitly out lined in the title, one can see at a glance that William H. Crane has prolific subject in his new comedy Tine Senator Keeps House. which he will offer at the Elks theater on Friday night, February :.
 Oddly enough, though politics is the topic of the hour, it is a fact that the Crane play does not touch upon the To- Ca!e of Martha MOrton's promise and she proceeds to outline things that happen to a worthy member of the United States senate, quite removed from any political effect that they could have upon the times The sen ator has been deserted by his servants and, weary of the amending trials of this problem, he elects to run his own establishment.

The postoffices in Germany are peculiar institutions, says the Wide World magazine. They are a far sighted people, the Germans, and they allow for expansion. If there are any pOstoffiCes in the country of less than three stories. I must have over looked them. Every floor is divided into about four departments. and every department has about d dozen offices.
 In some of the smaller towns where business is not very brisk, the staff consists of one official You have to make an appointment with him if you want to be served. Enter ing on the ground floor. you run around and tap with your money at every pigeon hole until he answers. You then ask him for a stamp, where upon he orders you to go to No. l pigeon hole and wait there till he ccmes. You wait patiently for about five minutes, and then he pops his head out of No. and wants to know if you've gone to sleep. When you ask for a 5-cent stamp he says, oh. l thought it was a penny one you wanted " and instructs you to

 By this time you are getting quite friendly and when you ask him where the telegraph office is he will prob able get out his guide book and hunt the place out for you. He may even offer to take you there himself, and he's the telegraph clerk as well, and has got to get there anyhow, in order to attend to you.
 The Germans themselves, when they go to buy a stamp, make day of it and take their lunch with them. Il is quite q pretty sight to see the mother and a group of children sit ting on the stairs, eating their bread and sausage and wondering whether father will remember them when hc comes back with the stamp.
