A FRAUD order was issued against E. G. Lewis of St.
Louis, Mo., in 1905 for violating tho federal boudiiig
laws, aud his institution, the "People's U. S. bank," closed.
Lewis induced tho deluded women he had persunded
through his newspaper to purchaso his bank stock, to ex
change the stock for his personal note, unsecured. As but
87 cents on the dollar could be returned to the people for
bank stock, Lewis was enabled to secure it by promising
par, and thereby secured tho cash coming to the stock
holders. "When Lews' notes were due, he wanted to exchauge
them, first for stock in his laud company, then in his pub
lishing company, tlien in his now bank, organized uuder
state laws, and not under federal supervision. Tho first in
stallments of interest onthese notes were paid, none since.
The Lewis notes-hlive been repeatedly presented for pay
ment and paymctajpf used . - . . . Jf
"Why does Mr:Bewis not ay these notes ? VTiy "does he
not keep his word to the poor women ho induced to invest
with him?
Lewis has three main companies the printing com-
pany,.the realty and building speculative company, and the
People's Trust Co., the fiscal agent for the others as well
as the - American Woman's League, which he has organ
ized, presumably to supply fimds for operating tho others.
The plans of the League is to induce all the women pos
sible to hustle subscriptions to magazines, upon which the
Lewis concern reaps a commission of fifty per cent. As
soon as $52 worth of subscriptions has been secured, the
hustler is made a member of the "Woman's League. If
these subscriptions total enough, a club building will be
built out of the proceeds for the women.
The title to the club building remains in St. Louis. The
money to build it is raised through the energy, of the wpm
en of the locality. The Lewis concerns invest no capital
but secure a building.
The women who hustle enough subscriptions get the
benefit of correspondence school instruction from St.
Louis. Many women, however, start the work, but lose
heart before securing sufficient subscriptions to entitle
them to membership. They get no return for what they
turn in.
Members of the Women's League are supposed to sub
scribe for the Woman's National Daily and other publica
tions put out by the Lewis Publishing Co., in which they
are advised to deposit their savings in the People's Trust
Company, and to invest in the land and building company
by continuing their subscription efforts.
The scheme is an ingenious one, a wheel within a wheel,
the machinery turned by the humble women of the country
hustling for subscriptions.
Of all classes of get-rich-quick sharks, the most con
temptible is the get-rich-quick parasite who preys upon the
small wage-earner and the inexperienced and impractical
women of the countrv.

O
PSYCHIC PHENOMENA.
TTlIAT is psychic phenomina? The performance of
snmnfliiTifr fhnf. lmfflps fhn TmmnTi iinflm-sffiTirlirHv nv
something that material mind is trying to understand in
the spiritual realm.
For all ages the longing to peer into the supernatural
has caused much controversy, much bitterness anl end
less theories. The Bible is full of theories and any lind of
argument can be backed up with excerpts from the great
est book on earth today.
Thousands of different religious sects are on omth with
new ones constantly springing up.
That we live in the age of miracles no one can doubt.
Each new wonder is unfolded in rapid succession. Its
worKs reveaiea ana as a rule tneir simplicity excites a
passing comment and it passes off as a matter of fact.
The phonograph, wireless telegraphy, flying machine
and the thousand and one other almost inconceivable won
ders ever astound the public mind for a day, then are ac
cepted as a matter of fact to make room for the next and
so on ad infinitum.
Yet with all of these the one question above all that
baffles the human race is, what is this life after tho change,
called death? The pooh-poohing of a subject or drowning
it in ridicule, does not solve it or explain it. , The mad race
for wealth pursued to a finish with all the success imagin
able simply ends in pursuing a phantom which ends at the
change called death.
Evolution in everything is constantly taking place in
religion as well as material things. The human mind is a
perplexity that no man can fathom, as it is in a constant
state of evolution. Progressive thinkers step to the front
with new ideas and are dubbed fakes, cranks, etc., yet the
greatest philosopher that ever trod the earth was crucified
for his advanced ideas.
It is right and proper to investigate on any line that
suggests itself to the human mind for the uplift of the
human race and this will find its greatest help in tolera
tion of religious ideas especially of tho races. This mys
terious little journey called life is a mystery and may the
time come when men of all creeds shall show great toler
ation for each other, especially towards investigation that
tends to solvo the riddle of the ages.
IN AUTUMN'S GARDENS.
'EH quiet beaches shelving to the

Tall mulleins sway, and thistles.

With subtle music In Its slumberous
song.

And gold thread clasps the little, skull

And troops' of swallows, gathering for
their flight
O'er goldenrod nnd ssters hold ravlew.
The barren Island dreams In flowers, while

Tho south winds, drawing haxe o'er sea

Makes the frail blossoms vibrate where

And hints of heavier pulses soon to shake
Its mighty breast when summer Is no

And devastating waves sweep on and

And clasp with girdle white the iron
