HARVEY GEE HAS
COLSE CALL
Right Front Wheel Broken and
Front AxeI Sprung

While Harvey Gee was travelling at
the rate of about thirty-fiye miles an
hour in his automobile Monday after
noon about two miles southeast of
PIover, on the highway, the right
front wheel of his auto went wrong,
and for a few minutes Harvey Gee
and his gentlemen friend, who occu-
pied the car with him, thought their
time had come Perhaps it would
have come if Harvey had not stuck
to the wheel and kept his head He
cut off his power, put his foot on
the brake and kept his eyes open,
while he missed trees and telephone
poles for some distance along the
roadside His car plunged and plow-
ed the roadway for some distance
before he was able to stop the car.
Fortunate for both occupants, the car
did not turn turtle or go into the
ditch The wheel was completely de
stroyed, every spoke being broken
and the front axel was badly bent.
Harvey Gee had been out showing
some land to a. buyer when the acci-
dent happened. They sent word to
Edward Ramps who went out with
his car and brought them in with
parts of the car.
1t was a close call for both men,
and Mr.. Gee showed good sense by
staying at the wheel.

REVELATION
Of EVENTS
A Few Hours Before His Death,

Prophetic Words

This is a revelation of events
of a universal character, which must
shortly come to pass. Their spiritual
outlines are now before my eyes. /
see floating upon the surface of
the sea of human fate the huge sill
houette of a nude woman. She is
with her beauty, her poise, her smile,
her jewels-a super-VenUs. Nations
rush madly after her, each of them
eager TO attract her especially. But
she, like an eternal courtesan, ,flirts
with all. In her hair ornaments Of
diamonds and rubies is engraved
her name: Commercialism As al
luring and as bewitching as she
seems, much destruction and agony
follow in her wake.
And behold, she has three giagan-
tic arms with three torches of uni
versal corruption in her hand. The
first torch represents the flame OF
war. the second torch bears the
Itd1Q6 OI uISOIS ShtiO iAS poN4AoS esAit
the third torch is that of the law.
The great conflagration will start
about 1912, set by torch of the first
arm in the countries in the South
eastern Europe 1t will develop into
a destructive calamity in 1913. In
that year l see all Europe in flames
and bleeding. 1 hear the lamentations
of huge battIefields. But about the
year 1915, a strange figure from the
North - a new Napoleon enters
the stage OF the bloody drama. He
is a man of little militaristic train
ing, a writer or journalist, but il
his grip most Of Europe will remain
till 1925.
The end OF the great calamity vii
