Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am d
young man of q and have recently
taken the church VOWS and been bap-
tized I think your advice 10 young
girls and women very good, but in
giving advice wouldn't il be better 10
give spiritual advice? I do not want
to criticize you in this work, but l am
complying with the golden rule.
I think Won have a worldly way OF
looking at the divorce question. Your
views are so contrary 10 the teachings

the commandments and break the
tenth we are guilty Of breaking them

making my column more spiritual I
try to give as good and wholesome
advice as I can bIy advice is given
! on the strength of my experience
and convictions I am sorry that 1
cannot please everyone. but views
differ SO much that that would be quite
impossible. Society is so organized
now that sometimes it is impossible to
+ take The bible literally and al the
same time meet present-day human
i needs.

Fortune-Teller Took Ring

After Katie Green, colored, OF
Washington, d. c., had had her for
tune told the gypsy fortune-teller
persuaded her that her sweetheart
whose affection for her had waned
could be brought back if she would
leave her ring as a charm with the
fortune-teller for three days. Being
anxious for the return of her dusky
lover she committed the ring TO the
keeping of the alleged seeress.
Then she waited patiently until the
end of the stipulated three days and
neither the colored gentleman nor the
fortune-teller showed up Thinking
it would be wise TO allow the charm
plenty of time TO work, however, she
waited some more. Still no results.
At length she got tired Of the wait
ing game and decided that if she
could get the ring back she would
try to worry along without the re-
caltritrant black man who probably
was only common "nigger" anyway.
Accordingly she went to the police
and told them her troubles. Detec-
tives set out on the trail of the for
tune teller and traced the band to
which she belonged to Pennsylvania.
Finally at Lancaster they caught up
with the gypsies, found the ring in
one Of the wagons and placed the
fortune-teller under arrest.
Although the gypsy insisted that
the colored girl had given her the
ring in payment for the return of her
lover and denied that she had stolen
it. she was returned to Washington
where she was sentenced to six
months in Jail on a charge of larceny
by trick. Katie's lover was not re-
stored to her but the satisfaction Of
si ~ rs Served 70 ALLEVIATE the sting Of
her disappointment very materially.
