ing sour in team like Cincinnati
| knocking pitcher like Lefty WINS
for three gools in row.
No matter how smart or honest a
person is they are libel to go wrong
and as far as this baby is conserved
have quit takeing hearsay evidents
for anything. For inst. plenty OF
guys that has apparently got a good
when it didn't get them nothing. well
plenty of these guys has told me
about different photo plays that they
; said was good. but until l see one that
! is good l won't believe they Is such
q thing.
And the same way about spirits
I wouldn't of never believed in them
from reading Conan or Mr.. Lodge
1t took personal experience to win
me over. and l will tell you about it.
not with no idear of makeing con-
verts but because I guess pretty
near everybody is interested in the
subject just at this time.
Well the other night I was talk
ing to a friend OF mine and we got
talking about spirits and etc, and
she said a friend Of hers had told
her about a friend Of the gal I was
talking to's friend. and this guy had
a piece of property that he wanted
to get rid Of it and he got a offer
for the property and he set down to
write a letter accepting the offer.
but when he got all ready to write
the pen begin writeing for him and
here is what it wrote:
\ \ X +
unoN'T sell now. but wait till the
| ~ of Jan. and you will get offer
that is $1,000 more" And the pen
signed his old mans name that had
died in the real estate business. So
the guy waited till the of Jan. and
sure enough he got the offer with
the $1,000 raise and took it.
So my friend that was telling m,
about this says:
THAT is what they call automatic
writeing. 1t hasn't never happened
to me personally but you can bet
that il it does / will follow the ad-
vice they give me. because heard
of another man that was Yale man
and just before the Yale-Princeton
game last fall he got wire from a
friend of his out west asking him
did he want to bet on Yale and he
office to wire and take the bet, and
Just as he was going to write the
telegram the pencil begin moveing
in his hand and wrote down:
"Don't bet on Yale
"Rut the man was a unbeliever. so
he made the pen write what he
wanted it to and took the bet and
lose $500"
well. I said the spirits seemed to
have the right dope in both them
instants. though whole lot of peo-
pie that wasn't dead yet had told
me to not bet on Yale. but I said
it was silly to disregard tips like
that when you got them because if
they was such a thing as spirits they
probably knowed more about things
that is going on than we do.
But I says I didn't suppose ex-
perience such as those would ever
come to me, as ] don't hardly ever
use a pen only to, sign mortgages.
So my friend said she supposed IT
could happen with a typewriter just
as good as pen or pencil. SO
come home and didn't think no more
about it till the next morning when
7 set down in front of the typewriter
to work.
For over an hr. ] set there with
nv two fingers in position to write
hut not a word come. Then all of
cydden my fingers BEGIN to move
