BAD WOMEN AS WELL AS GOOD ARE WELCOMED

whether she is good or bad, as the

This is the decidedly unusual at
titude of Mrs Edward Rankin Bral-

"When California women gained

great need among us of broader
education.
1--WE organized the Woman's City
Club and made it an open forum Any

Afterwards questions are asked and
the entire subject freely discussed.

Mother Shipt0n's PronheeY.

According to publication a. Ia
lack as 1897, Mother Shipton wa-
born in Yorkshire, England, in 148s
ard baptized as Ursula Southiel. She
died, according to the same author
ity, at over 70 years Of age; but. !.
was not until 1861 that pamna'c
appeared containing her alleged pre-
dictions. This did not include the
prediction as to the end Of time
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one
that is now usually appended. The
. couplet, according to another author
ity, was added in 1862 by some ons
who wished to make the ancient seer
responsible for it. AT that time the
predictions had nearly all been at
least partially fulfilled.
Here is the prophecy in its en-
tirety:
Carriages without horses shall go.
And accidents fill the world with woe
Around the world thought shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall he,
And gold be found at root of tree
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found; and found
In land not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England shall 1t last admit Jew.
The world shall to an end como
In eighteen hundred and eghty-one
Eliminate the concluding coupet
which is merely an Interpolation, and
it will be seen that Mother Shipton
must have been wise far beyond her
day and generation.
