Was Howled Down

C. L. Willoughby reached home
Friday night from the Confederate
Veterans Reunion at Richmond, Va.
and brings the information that the

resolution placing blame for the war
between the states on Lincoln.
"The report is a lie" says Mr. vii,
loughby. such resolution was pre-
scented, but it was howled down. Some
fool presented it-there are fools ev-
erywhere-but it was absolutely howl
ed down.
Mr.. Willoughy reports a great gath
ering, there being 5000 veterans and
two to three hundred thousand visi
tors in the parade down Monument
avenue.
General ]. d. Allen who also repre-.
scented Lakeland at the reunion is lin
gering for visit and will be home
in a few days.

On her absence being discovered, searching parties were organized who went over the surrounding country with lanterns and search lights, but the child was not found. In the mean time the dog had come home without her. The baby was found early yes terday in the woods about mile fror, her home, sound asleep under a tree by one of the searching parties. The child was none the worse for her ex- perience, and was uninjured.

 Margaret tells me it is four years. Time is an earth factor, but I meas ure it by my own change. I have no other scale.
 LIFE IS INDEsTRUcTIBLE I died. I am looking at life from the other side, the tame, friendly side of him. AND LIFE IS INDE- STRUCTIBLE. My scientific prattle called matter indestructible. Life, spirit soul, mind, reason-these are eternal. They know no change but growth. Lesson one. My vision of man is the same as when on earth. My mind quality is the same. My hope of him is strong as when I voiced it there. I see him facing his destiny as I saw him on earth. He fights his way, and when his place is ready here he comes. THERE IS NO CATASTROPHE, ALL IS IN ORDER 1 I am a stranger to this tongue. l am but learning to speak.

BERKELEY; May 17.--Perhaps the most important of the many con- municatons purporting to come from Jack London is, What Life Means to Me Now" During his life an ar ticle by MT. London on What Life Means to Me" attracted wide atten- tion.
 The, medium asked if he could not tell something of the conditions and meanings of life as he was now eX- periencing it. It was in answer to this that we secured the communica- tion which we now make public, and which seems to us to make near approach to the literary style and thinking power of Jack London.
 Here is the text of the massage, as it was received and written out early in August, 1920, except for the punctuation and the emphasis, which indicate the psychic's understanding of the meanings conveyed to her.
 WHAT LIFE MEANS TO ME
 I am a soul, living soul! I followed the lost trail of ma terialism and sickened in the foul mists of error. I was bold. No mis- givings assailed me. I had the as surance of the cock. My egotism | linked arms with a combativeness which silenced opposition but did not meet it. I faced oblivion. I took a spurious pride in facing it. 1 laughed at it. I spurned other men when they quaked I loathed their slavish attachment to life, which chung the more slavishly the less life offered. I had the courage to die. I was not enroptured with life, which I was not enraptured with life, which had withheld nothing for which l reached.
 The distaste which filled my mouth was not the foretaste of deaths mold. The failure of earth to give life a chance coated my tongue I saw death Top off vital strugglings in a haphazard whim. rebelled at the incompletion.
 q LABoRED, TAUGHT"
 I 1abered; I taught-when I did teach-that man might set his ma- terial house to rights that these vital developments might not be inter- rupted by brutal chance Chances! Mans dependence upon chance as an explanation determines the blind ness of his vision. THERE IS NO CHANGE!
 But I must not outstrip my story
 My soul, though I knew it not was dyspeptic with the materialistic fodder I crammed into it. I missed the incentive. I had been lucky Another had missed I might have 1 been such one. My highest vision of service to my fellow man was to minimize evil chance through secur- ing a propitious environment. The evil and the good lives after me Life joined the snuffed-out lights of countless candles.
 Death caught me unawares. l had no opportunity to watch his ap proach. He snapped me up, and my face was not turned his way. al- most regret this. I believe it made my transition the harder.
 DREAMED ON AND ON
 I awoke. Dreaming? I was sure oi it. I dreamed on and on. I was not awakened. I dreamed myself into eternity.
 I am vague. I was vague to my self.
 My powers returned. I could think I hailed my old brain like a returned friend. I fumbled and groped. It was no instantaneous visioning of life eternal. My earth blindness haxed me about. I fought my way through it. I had no goal. I had passed the only goal had ever admitted. I was

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
Copyrght 1922. bv the
Correct Position at the Plate

This is the mnst important lesson
of all lessons in baseball A good
position at the bat is more important
than a good position on the pitcher s
rubber, for the reason that where there
is one pitcher ON baseball team, there
ire nine batters. Where there are two
or three good base runners on a team,
there are nine batters. Batting is by
all means the most important function
of a baseball player. The things that
make a good batter are:
l. Courage and confidence.
>. y good eye.
3. A correct position at the plate.
Given those three things. Young
man can become a great hitter in base
ball
a correct position at the bat is very
important. The player should stand up
straight, easily, without strain of any
kind. Some good authorities, notably
Cobb, hold that a player should stand
straight up to his waist and then bend
over so that his arms may be free of
interference from his chest as he hits.
These discussions are by no means set
tied. The writer favors the easy, up.
right stand at the bat, although he
can see the force of Mr. Cobb's arglI-
ments for the bending over style.
All good players have much the same
standard position at the bat. They
invariably stand with the forward foot
closer TO the line of the pitch than the
rear foot. When they step in, or
straight ahead, they never step back.
The attached picture of George Sis
Ter, one of the greatest hitters that
has ever stepped to a plate, is an ex-
cellent position for any young man to
assume at the bat. Sisler stands cas-.
lily, no strain anywhere, the bat rest
ing on his shoulder waiting for the
pitcher to begin his motion. When Sis
Ter steps, his right foot follows the line
