BROTHER GARDNER He Lecture on Hypnotism and Telepathy. m ' T f rens," said Brother Gard ner as he rose up in Para dise hall and motioned to Brother Glveadam Jones to lower a window, "dar was a time in my life when if I went out in de tnawnin' an' found a cow tract in my bock yard I was surprised. Tonight, If I should be told dat Mark Hannah bad opened communlcashun wld de people of de planet Mars an' had tooken a contract to build a trolley line for 'em up dar, I should almost take It as a matter of co'se. "De world has been gwine ahead till nuthin' kin amaze us any mo'. It won't be five y'ars longer befo' we be come as familiar wld de occult as we am wld reform politics, an' dat asser tion brings me to de subjeck of my lecture. "I reckon dat mos' of yo' have heard mo' or less 'bout de matter of hypnot ism, but yo' has been so busy rentln' post office boxes an' wear In dlmun pins an' bettin' on race hosses dat yo' haven't look ed into It werry for.

De effect was magical. lie sot dar ; Wid Ills mouth open nn' Ills eyes hang In' out, an' It was two minutes befo' h could say a word.

"Dat's hypnotism, an' irs one or ae mysterious fo'ces developed doorin' de last few years, but we am comln' to somethin' greater, an' that's telepathy. Yo'd better write de word down an' keep sayln' it over an' over, so yo' kin git It off in de grocery an' at de wood yard. "Telepathy am de act of talkin' wid another pusson at a distance. He may be only around de co'ner or he may be a thousand miles away. He may be up a tree or down in a coal mine. It am no new idea, but we as a people have bin so busy wid patent churns an' barbed wire fences dat we haven't had time to take it up an' develop it I begun to work at it about six weeks ago, an' my progress has bin all dat could be hoped fur. I don't want dis audience to go home tonight an' have nightmare an' dream of ghosts, but I do want to speak of a few facts. "My fust experiments war made on de old woman. Gwine around de co' ner an' walkin' a block down de street, I'd tell her dat I wanted tripe fur din ner or codfish fur supper, an', lo. she'd prepare de said dishes. I could make her carry out ashes or bring in coal. "I could not only communicate wid her, but could receive communica shuns. I was a mile away one dav when she told me dat de flour bar'l was empty an' de last of de taters In de kettle. On another occashun I was comln' home at midnight wid a couple of chickens under my arm when she FOR FREE ADVICE very Woman Should Write Dr. & B, Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium. MRS.

Savages are supposed to have keener senses, especially a keener sense of fight, than civilized races. The author of "Idle Days In Patagonia" does not accept this theory. He believes that savages have no keener senses, but that they pay closer attention to what comes within the range of their percep tion. As an instance of quick response to an impression be tells the following story: On March 12, 1801, a company of hunters were camping beside a grove of willows in Tataeonla. Ahonr U o'clock that evening, while they were seated round the lire roasting their os trich meat Sosa suddenly sprang to his feet and held his open hand high above his head for some moments. " "There Is not a breath of wind blow ing," he exclaimed, "yet the leaves of the trees are trembling. What can this portend?" The others stared at the trees, but eould see no motion, and they began to laugh at him. Presently he sat down again, remarking that the trembling had ceased, but during the rest of the evening he was very much disturbed in his mind. He remarked repeatedly that such a thing had never happened in his experience before, for, he said, he could feel a breath of wind before the leaves felt It and there had been no wind. He feared that it waB a warning of some disaster about to overtake their party. The disaster was not for them. On that evening occurred the earthquake which destroyed the distant city of Mendoza and crushed 12,000 people to death beneath the ruins. That the sub terranean wave extended east to the Plata and southward into Patagonia was afterward known, for in the cities of Rosario and Buenos Ayres clocks stopped, and a slight shock was also experienced in the Carmen on the Rio Negro. PEOPLE WHO APPEAR OLD. How They Mny Preserve the Buoy ancy and Freshness of Yonth. People who appear old must expect to be considered so, and, if they apply for positions with every appearance that senility has struck them and that they have gone to seed, they cannot expect favorable consideration. If gray haired applicants for positions would only appreciate the value of appear ances and would "brace up" when they seek situations go "well groomed" and well dressed, with elastic steps, showing that they still possess Are, force and enthusiasm they would eliminate an obstacle greater than their gray hairs. We think ourselves Into Incapacity by looking for signs of age and dwell ing on them, and the body follows the thought Ws should, therefore, avoid the appearance of age in every possi ble way by dress, carriage, conversa tion and especially by our attitude to ward people and things. It Is not diffi cult to preserve the buoyancy and freshness of youth, but It must be done by constant effort and practice. A mu sician who expects to make only one or two important appearances a year must keep up his practice. Youthful ness cannot be put on for a day If old age has had a grip on yon for months. It is important to preserve the fire of youth' as long as possible, to carry freshness and vigor into old age by keeping up a hearty interest in every thing that interests youth. Many of us seem to think that youthful sports and pastimes are foolish, and before we know it we get entirely out of sym pathy with all young life, and conse quently really old, whatever our years. We must think youthful thoughts, as sociate with young people and interest them. When a porson ceases to Inter est the yeiing he may bo sure that he Is showing signs of old age. Success. A Shrewd Client. An amusing story Is told among law yers of a Walloon peasant who had gone to law with a neighbor. In a con versation with his lawyer he suggested sending the magistrate a couple of fine ducks. "Not for your life," said his adviser. "If you do you'll lose the case." The judgment was given in his favor, when he turned to his lawyer and said, "I sent the ducks." Astonishment on the letter's part turned to admiration when his client continued, "But I Bent them In my neighbor's name." London Express. Simply Impossible. "nave you got the plans for your new house completed yet?" some one asked him. "Not quite," he replied. "There is a difference of opinion between my wife and me as to the Interior arrangements. 8 he says the pantry Is too large and that there are too many closets." Without another word the medal for the biggest lie of the evening was awarded to him. Chicago Tribune. Always Rejected. Cortnne-So the dear boy thinks mar riage Is a failure? Uas he tried It? Mabel No, But he hna fnw1 time be has tried to try It Puck. A Miraculous Vault. The most interesting place of pll jrlmage In Dublin is St Mlchan's church, where the organ is still to be feen upon which Handel is said to have composed his "Messiah." In the grave yard is the last resting place of Robert Kmmet, and the vault at St Mlchan's provides a more grewsome thrill than the morgue. The sexton lifts an iron door and descends a few rude steps, carrying a light . without which the place would be pitch dark. You follow und find yourself In a narrow passage, from which cell-like recesses belonging to different families branch off. Wheth er it is owing to the extreme dryness of the surroundings or to some mysteri ous property of the place the process of decay has been arrested, and the fea tures of persons dead for two centuries may be recognized from authentic por traits. Here lie the brothers Shoares, who were executed for their share in the united Irish conspiracy, side by side almost with the Earl of Leltrim, who was murdered about thirty years ago. The earl's ancestors for hundreds of years back rest in the same vault. Perhaps the strangest thing about the vault is the fact that apart from the weird sensation, there is nothing of fensive In the surroundings. London Tatler. WHEN YOU BUY Hew Men Fall When Shot. Nearly every one is familiar with the traditional stage fall, where the victim of a supposed death shot strikes an at titude, clasps his hand to his heart, stiffens every Joint and muscle, breathes hysterically and goes down like a log toppled over from the end. Another popular yet erroneous notion is that men shot through the vitals leap into the air and go down In a dra matic attitude. Sometimes men are found on the field in striking positions, but often an examination shows that the position was taken after the fall. As a rule a man who is hit above the hips sinks down. The slighter the wound the more commotion, for the body instinctively reslBts, Just as It does when one slips or is pushed or col lides with some object. But a wound in a vital spot weakens the resistance and men sink at once or reel and tum ble with very little self control. Her Repertory. Helen's always gay; Rather shuns repose.
