When Mrs. Wilcox attempted to obtain
some advice about business she was
promptly squelched with the unsatisfactory
answer that material things are unim.
portant.' This might be true enough IN
the spirit world, but Mrs. Wilcox had rent
to pay and grocery bills, which she thought
were both material and important to her.
Mrs. Wilcox had a very practical turn
OF mind in spite of the fact that she was
a poet, and she was anxious to seize on
this occasion and make the most of it to
get some real, first-hand trustworthy and
invaluable tips from the world beyond
about health, business and information
ABOUT the Saviour. But her husband
lodged and fenced and gave her answers
which left her just about where she was
when she started to question him
There seems to have been a little tinee
OF doubt or incredulty in Mrs. Wilcox's
mind when she asked how her ghostly
husband could attend to his work meeting
and helping souls shot into eternity in con.
fusion, and yet could come to her when.

rms certainly was very natural ques.
tion for a woman of Mrs. Wilcox's inteIli.
gence to ask. But like all the rest of the
replies, Mr.. Wilcoxs spirit lodges and
cVades a direct and satisfactory answer.
And why. when Mrs. Wilcox innocently
asked for the names of those who were
associated with her spectral husband In
his work in heaven should he have been
forced to reply that ''It is forbidden" What
possible reason could there be for making
a secret of such a question?
But these questions, which very natur.
ally suggested themselves to the minds OF
unbelievers, did not disturb Dr. PEBBLES.
II It was the habit of spirits TO be vague
and indefinite and to talk about frivolities
and always dodge anything definite of any
importance-that, of course, was a matter
that il was proitless to worry about.
Will DR.. PEBBLES profit by Mr. Wilcoxs
vague messages and send across some
better reports? Already his spirit gives
some announcement that he will. He has
said that there is no rheumatism in
Heaven and that he was present at his
own funeral in wheel chair and that he
has learned floating" This much, little
as It is, is very interesting-but what a

every possible detail about the
Saviour? And why should he an

inquiry from his wife with such an
unsatisfactory reply as 81 only

1t was then pointed out that il
Mr.. Wilcox had been sitting in his
wifes drawing room in real life and
had answered her questions with
such Indifference and evasiveness
Mrs. Wilcox would have been jus.
titled in roundly calling him to ac-
count. When Mrs. Wilcox made an
earnest effort to get an inspired
answer to the very real question
as to whether an X-ray treatment
would benefit her health, her spec
tral husband seemed to have snub-
bed her with this extraordinary
answer:
Means are not TO be despised."
Why didn't he give a better an

Dr. PEBBLES was much impressed with
Ella Wheeler WilCoX's narrative of her
supposed communications with her de-
parted husband He felt sure that the
messages were genuine and promised his
friends that they. too, should hear from
DR.. PEBBLES as soon as he reached the
other side Of the great beyond
The very unsatisfactory nature of the
communications from Mr. Wilcox was
pointed out to DR.. PEBBLES and il was sug
gested that he try to send across some
thing really worth while. One of those
not impressed by the supposed spirit mes
sages told him that he could not under
stand why an intelligent person. who was
really answering questions truthfully from
the spirit world, should be so hazy, vague
and indefinite.
Could il be possible that a man like Mr.
Wilcox, who had really seen Christ, would
have such unsatisfactory. evasive answers
