The great lords of Karma are watch

souls to drain the cup of greed and

learn by pain and suffering the futiIity
of seeking happiness in any ways which

In the center of each soul there lies
a consciousness of this great power we
call God. In the soul Of the woman
who is suffering the agonies of the
damned today there dwelt that conscious
ness: and there was an hour when she
knew that she ought not to see or listen
TO the man who led her into this maze
of iniqUity.
That was the voice of God speaking
to her; and she would not listen. She
no doubt argued that she had right
to the happiness which had come to
her through the mans companionship.
and she believed she was TO find salts

come forth in her next incarnation with
clearer perceptions and highideals. and a

No BLACK List" Because of
Prudence and Charity.

A white list of clean and indorsed
plays for the guidance of the Washington
theatergoing public will be issued during
this month by the Washington Truth
Society. Following a meeting of the or
ganization yesterday. a statement was
issued explaining that the publication
of a white list" for the current drama
tic season had been delayed owing to the
unusual uncertainty in theatrical circles
regarding plays for this city.
The forthcoming white list" it was
said. will contain the names of indorsed
plays already booked for Washington. as
well as many productions in New York
and Philadelphia which are likely to
have ''last-minute" bookings for the
Capital Vaudeville productions will be
included I'm this years list
The officers OF the Truth Society an
nounced that there will not be issued
an official black list for reasons of
prudence and charity: prudence, which
would refrain from giving free notoriety
to frankly obnoxious plays; charity,

several years.
During the current month the mean

last four days, while it was unseason-
ably cool from the fifth to eleventh,

During the first two weeks in Dc

record for October during the last 26
years shows that it is not upusual for
very warm weather to prevail for the
FIRST two or three weeks of the month.
Much of the disagreeable features
of the present warm spell are due to
the high per cent of moisture present
in the atmosphere; and to the fact
that most people have followed the
dictates of fashion in matters of dress,
rather than wear the usual summer
apparel which is as much required as
it was during the summer.

HAS 700 PITCHERS :,
IN HER DINING ROOM
JOSEPHINE ELLIS is YOUNGEST
MEMBER OF SOCIETY COL
LEcTiNe SPECIMENS.

Kansas City, Oct. 1S.-If Miss jose
phine Ellis, who is thirteen years old,
wanted to have different pitcher for
her cream at breakfast every morning
for year she could have it without
stepping ten feet from the dining room
table. And then she would be able to
run over into the next year 1886 days
before starting all over again. She has
700 of them.
1t was three years ago that Miss
Josephine's collection was casually
started through the receipt of a few
pitchers as gift from an aunt.
The growth of the collection was
more or less incidental to other in
terests until Miss Josephine and her
mother heard of an organization of
persons who collect pitchers, with
twenty-one members and with very
serious views on the subject. So Miss
Josephine became the twenty-second
member, the youngest in point of
years and in the age Of her collection,
although not the least in the size and
Importance of her representation.
"The members of the society live
all over the United States," Mrs. FL
lis said at her home, "and they have
a delightful custom OF remembering
each other with pitchers on birthdays
and holidays. When any member of
our family finds a pitcher-for we all
are interested-he tries to get as many
of the same kind as possible. We send
them around to other members of the
society"
"Our postman is very nice man, )"
chimed in Miss Josephine, "but I
should think he would get tired of
bringing us pitchers sometimes"
If you should go into what was once
the conservatory of the Ellis home,
you would find the walls covered with
sectional bookcases. But inside, in.
stead of volumes, you would see doz.
ems and dozens of pitchers, tall pitch
ers and short ones, fat ones and slim
ones, colored and plain, some grotes-
que and unique in shape and decora-
tion. others of beautiful rare ware
and with as much beauty of form as a
Grecian urn.
All the names that delight the souls
of followers of certain art are here:
Wedgwood, Royal Dou1ton, Nett.
ZACH, Belleek, crallzle, luster, Delft
Chelsea, majoliIa, Staffordshire Royal
Koko, cloisonne, and many others.
When you have had time to get
away from the impressive sight of SC
many pitchers all in one room and
have time to look at separate cases
you will begin to see interesting faces
of people and an entire menagerie oi
animals. OF course, there is the Toby

"A delectable fate for frogs. 'twould

But these frogs, like frogs, were of

And, like frogs, these frogs had diff

From this nasty stuff we shall never

For Amphibians this liquid is much

Then he languidly swan with dole,

Till at last he sank in dire despair.
Now, the other frog was of different
stuff;
YHe, too, liked the water well enough,
But he croaked, as round the jug he'd

"This is quite an adventure for a
change.
I'm out of my depth, but I'll never say
die."
So he speeded up for another try,
With the result; as he padded about
Quite an island of butter was soon
churned out.
rTired out, he rested on this while,
Then out of the jug he jumped with a
smile.
