sl7 AN ACRE.
Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 18th, 1907,
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche
wan, Mr. S. K. Kathwall says:
"I have much pleasure in saying
that on my farm this year I had 500
acres in wheat, and 120 acres in oats.
My wheat averaged about 22 bushels
per acre, and I had 200 acres cut be
fore the frost, which I sold at 85
cents per bushel, thus realizing on
that wheat SIB.OO per acre, not count
ing cost of twine, seed and labor. With
regard to the other GOO acres of wheat,
it got touched with frost but ia worth
60 cents per bushel. It will net me
$13.00 per acre, but I do not intend
to sell it at that price, as I can make
more money by feeding it to hogs.
' "My oats turned out about 50 bushels
•to the acre, and at 35 cents per bushel
will give me $17.00 to the acre, not
counting seed, twine and labor.
"On account of the late spring, a
percentage of the grain was touched
with frost, but on account of good
prices, farmers will realize a fair
profit on their farms even this year.
We are as usual up against a short
age of cars to get our grain removed."
CAME AT INOPPORTUNE TIME.
Community Just Then Looked with
Disfavor on Wart Curer3.
"I have come Into this wild country
to tell my famous wart cure," an
nounced the wandering faker.
"Wall, stranger," drawled Amber
Pete, "it would be advisable to leave
by the nest stage. The last man that
Introduced a wart cure in this section
Is dead."
"Indeed! And what kind of a cure
was it?"
"Wall, he had some cotton in a
satchel and he told the boys if they
wanted to get rid of their warts all
they had to do was to rub the warts
with the cotton. It turned out to be
,gun cotton."
"And did they get rid of the warts?"
"They did, and they got rid of the
•wart doctor, also. That's his tomb
stone by the borax mountain. Don't
step on it when you leave town,
stranger, and see that you leave town
early."
"NONE BUT THE BRAVE," ETC.
Voice (in a plaintive whisper)—Do!
Just one, Maud!
He Saw a Difference.
Barney Malloy and Mike Cairey
were shingling a roof. "Barney,"
Mike asked, removing a bunch of
shingle nails from his mouth, and set
tling back comfortably, "what is the
difference between satisfied and con
tent?" "The difference? Sure there's
none," answered Barney. "If you're
satisfied you're content, and if you're
content you're satisfied." "That was
my opinion, too, Barney, me boy, up to
now, but it struck me sudden like as
I put that last nail in that I am satis
fled all right that Molly Cairey is my
wife, but I am durned sure I am not
content."
THEY GROW.
Good Humor and Cheerfulness from
Right Food.
Cheerfulness is like sunlight. It dis
pels the clouds from the mind as sun
light chases away the shadows of
uigbt.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off a load that the man
with a grouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
"Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
system was in a bad condition.
"But I was young and did not want
to die so I began to look about for the
cause of my chronic trouble. I used
to have nervous spells which would
exhaust me and after each spell it
would take me days before I could sit
up In a chair.
"I became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. I decided to
stop it and bought some Postum.
"The first cup, which I made ac
cording to directions, had a soothing
effect on my nerves and I liked the
taste. For a time I nearly lived on
Postum and ate little food besides. I
am today a healthy woman.
"My family and relatives wonder
If I am the same person I was four
years ago, when I could do no work on
account of nervousness. Now I am do
ing my own housework, take care of
Awo babies —one twenty, the other two
months old. I am so busy that I hard
ly get time to write a letter, yet I do
t!t all wilh the cheerfulness and good
'humor that comes from enjoying good
ilea it!).
"I tell my friends it is to Postum
II owe my life today."

SPIRITISM.
The Physical Phenomena.
All the physical phenomena of spir
itism can be accounted for on the
ground that living man possesses, in
herently, the power to produce them.
The power resides within the medium
and is, in no way, connected with or
influenced by an outside agency. It is
a power belonging exclusively to the
subjective mind and has been well
named by Prof. Cowes, who evidently
coined the word—"telikinesis"—from
.the combination of "telepathy" and
"kinetic."
"The only thing that can be said of
this power with certainty," says Dr.
Hudson, "is that it exists; that it is
not a power of the objective mind:
that it is a power of the human soul,
and that it is valuable in this life only
as an evidence that there is a kinetic
force resident in the soul. There is no
valid evidence whatever that disem
bodied spirits either do or can produce
the phenomena of telikinesis."
It is that power which, in spiritistic
circles, produces raps upon tloor, walls
and furniture; levitates the medium,
tilts tables and sometimes causes the
most orderly and dignified parlor
furniture to "cut fantastic tricks be
fore high heaven."
But of what use is all this? Is it
all trickery? I am frank to confess
that it may be legitimately done and
may serve a purpose, but I fully agree
with Dr. Hudson and others that the
power is inherent.
It is a noticeable fact that mediums
are seldom developed in more than
one method or means of communica
tion. Those that give verbal messages,
whether in the trance or semi-trance
state, rarely resort to the physical
means of communication.
Surely a power that can levitate pon
derable objects can cause the raps that
are distinctly heard and can move the
pencil in the automatic slate writing.
When circled around a table it Is the
custom for one person to act as spokes
man; the established code of signals
Is agreed upon. The questions are
asked and if the answers come from
raps heard upon the table or elsewhere
the power that produces them is the
kinetic force of which I have spoken;
the Intelligence, if such, coming from
the same source—the subjective mind
containing the information.
If the answers are received by the
tilting of the table, It is not kinetic
energy but an unconscious muscular
action of the one whose subjective
mind holds the Information; all others
yielding to the stronger movement.
(No intelligent answer is ever given
unless the knowledge or information
is in the subjective mind of someone
present—although they may have no
objective knowledge of the same.)
Automatic slate writing may be gen
uine. It is possible to receive mes
sages in that manner and have the as
surance that every possible chance of
fraud has been eliminated. But I
must repeat over and over again that
these messages are not from the dead.
You may even receive a message (or
information), the writing of which Is
a perfect fac simile of that of one who
is dead. But that information and the
knowledge of the style of writing, etc.,
must be in the subjective mind of
someone present. It is telepathieally
transmitted to the subjective mind of
the medium and from him emanates
this unseen, unfelt, kinetic energy that
moves the pencil. All of this may be
done without physical contact with
either the slate or pencil. The me
dium, if a genuine psychic, will inform
you that this is all due to the departed
spirit that sent the message and he
(or she) firmly believes that both the
transmission of thought and the trans
mission of energy came from the same
source. They did, but not that to
which he ascribes it.
These are instances wherein I go
back to one of the strongest planks in
my platform, viz.: I believe in the al
leged phenomena but not ia the alleged
cause.
This is a case, probably, in which
the searcher for light and truth finds
It more difficult to understand the ex
planation than the thing explained;
while the believer in spiritism finds it
much easier to believe that which lie
ardently desires to bo true.
But, you may be curious to know
how a power resident within you, a
power of which so little is known, can
move with such delicacy an object so
small as the smallest bit of pencil,
and that, same power to move, with
ease, some ponderable object or ob
jects.
How? I cannot say, nor can anyone.
But. I do say that I see no need of at
tributing any power to the dead that
is inherent in the living. And further,
I know that the power exists, as 1 have
both observed and experienced it. I
shall give, herewith, two cases in my
own experience in which there could
be no possible fraud because there was
no medium connected therewith. I
acknowledge that I do so with hoth3
degree of hesitancy because the two
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1908
Incidents are no unusual; besides, facts
stated iu cold print lack the convinc
ing power that accompanies the indi
vidual presentation.
I had charge of 40 French Canadian
expert fishermen whom I had taken to
the mouth of Saginaw river, but a
short distance from Saginaw bay. Ere
the ice moved out I had occasion,
many times, to cross and recross the
river on my trips to and from Bay
City.
On this special occasion I was "im
pressed" that there was unusual dan
ger and my many previous experiences
had taught me the wisdom of heeding
the warning and making the necessary
preparation. In consequence of this I
procured a long, stout rope; fastened
one end of it securely round my body,
and the other end around the body of
one of the fishermen who wa3 to ac
company me.
We walked quite a distance apart,
enough so as to keep the long rope al
most taut. We al3o walked cn a line
with each other, not one in advance of
the other. Feeling a security in the
comparative firmness of the ice, I be
came a trifle careless and, instead of
looking straight ahead, I was looking
in other directions at the snow-covered
landscape.
How often in life we feel most se
cure when we are nearest danger and
in that sense of security fail to hear
the warning voice! However, in this
case, 1 had previously heard, listened
and heeded, and well it was that 1 had
done so. At that very moment —an un
guarded moment —I felt myself lifted
bodily (au indescribable feeling) and
in less time than I can write it I was,
by this unseen power, borne across an
iceless area (where the water was
deepest), a distance of many feet in
width—so wide, I could neither have
stepped nor jumped it.
If I was surprised what about my
companion? As soon as he felt the
rope becoming more taut he looked in
my direction and saw me moving
through the air without any effort on
my part. There was no break in the
ice at his end of the line. He moved
cautiously toward me. Had he not
been tied, being very superstitious, he
would have moved very rapidly in the
opposite direction. He could not un
derstand it; neither could I; can you?
At that time, I could arrive at but
one conclusion—it was spirits, the dis
embodied spirits of departed friends;
yet I had my doubts.
At this time, I can arrive at but one
conclusion —it was a spirit, my own
embodied spirit using the kinetic en
ergy resident within myself; of this, I
have no doubts.
Upon this occasion, as upon all oc
casions of a similar nature, an ejacula
tory prayer of thankfulness escaped
my lips to the Great Spirit, the Source
of All Good; for I was assured that
whatever the power or whence it came
it was His power. It will thus be seen
that this "kinetic energy" is the pow
er that controls the physical forces of
nature, the power of moving and being
moved; "the power that enabled Jesus
and Peter to walk upon the water,"
says Dr. Hudson.
During the civil war, while en
camped at Savannah, Ga., I was pass
ing from a cabin to my tent. There
was no occasion for me to halt—no oc
casion that I could see; but all at onca
someone back of me (as I supposed)
placed a powerful hand on each shoul
der and thus prevented iny taking an
other step. My feet seemed riveted tc
the spot, but I turned my head ana
was greatly surprised to behold no one
behind me. Had I taken one more
step the result, undoubtedly, would
have proved fatal; just as I was halted
a bullet grazed my chest.
A negro (a former slave who had
joined us on the "March to the Sea,"
now serving as cook for our "mess")
was standing some distance away
when he was attracted by the peculiar
noise of the bullet and the flying of a
chip in the air. IT*; said: "Who froo
up dat chip?" I informed him that it
was a bullet that struck the spot
where he saw the chip fly up. He dug
about a foot in the ground and found
the bullet which had completely flat
tened in its impact with a large stone.
In the meantime I had not moved from
my position, so that I might gauge
the distance, angle, etc. The conclu
sion was in accord with my previous
reckoning, viz., that one step would
have been fatal.
The negro handed me the bullet, 1
looked at it, tossed it away (bullets
were so common then) and thought of
what "might have been,"and was truly
thankful that it was outside of me in
stead of kiside.
Here was another illustration ol
"kinetic energy" which, of course, J
did not then understand.

LET HIM DREAM.
Do not wake him, let him dream;
He is dreaming she is fair;
As the tinkling of a stream
Rippling through a glen somewhere
Fills the poet's breast with glee
Her laughter makes him glad;
In her eyes he seems to see
Beauty they have never had;
Though she has no charms for you,
Let him dream as lovers do.

Might inspire a poet's pen:
He is dreaming that her grace
Is a thing to gladden men.
Ah, her nose was never cast
In the graceful classic mold,
And her chin when youth Is past
Will he piled up fold on fold;
Waking him would bring dismay,
Let him gladly dream away.
She is his: because of her
Beauty gilds all earthly things;
Everywhere ho hears the whir
Ceaselessly of angels' wings.
In her shrill and rasping voice
There Is music for his ears;

Let his sun in splendor gleam;
Do not wake him; let him dream.

INEXPENSIVE VERANDA.
Will Provide Shade and Beauty for tho
Summer.
A vine-covered veranda would be
such a comfort if only it were pos
sible to build it now so as to have It
well covered with vines before the
long summer evenings come. In many
cases the expense seems greater than
the owner of the plain little farm
house feels able to stand. This was
my own case a few years ago, as my
home was an old-fashioned farmhouse
built in the style of 100 years ago,
and strongly resembling an Immense
dry goods box about 50 feet long, two
stories high and perfectly plain, desti
tute even of paint.
After thinking it over, says a writer
in Farm and Home, I decided the case
was by no means hopeless, so I set
to work In this fashion. First, I sent
a man to the woods to get a load of

straight poles about 1% Inches in di
ameter and from 8 to 12 feet long. I
next procured a number of nice
smooth boards for the flooring of my
veranda, making it about 6 feet wide
and 10 feet long and strengthening it
with the necessary timbers. I secure
ly nailed the poles about 8 inches
apart around the flooring to form an
inclosure, leaving an opening in front
about 5 feet wide, as shown in the
cut.
The poles in front were 7 feet from
the flocr to the roof and 12 feet at
the house. About midway of their
height the poles were strengthened
by a row of poles nailed horizontally
and another row was placed at the top.
To make all secure against rain, the
slanting roof poles were next care
fully covered with overlapping rows
of bark. All this required but small
outlay of cash and even less of work,
yet when my work was so far com
pleted, I considered it ready for the
vines and contemplated the result
with much satisfaction.
Being In haste for Immediate re
mits, I planted some roots of the
hardy native woodbine, which will
•oon cover any space with Its rapid
growth. It is an easy matter to sow
Boed of the morning glory, hardy an
nual gourd, or any one of several
hardy climbers and the result will
■oon be a mass of shade and lovely
blossoms besides, all of which makes
the summer evenings pass far more
pleasantly.

Cow testing associations cost little
and save much. All there is to it Is
for several farmers of the neighbor
hood to get together and agree to take
samples and test their cows three or
four times a year, and to have the
work done by an experiment station
or local creamery tester. The cost
Is not over six dollars per farmer, and
often means the difference between a
paying business and one that is los
ing money every day.
Hustling for Success.
With ail the Inventions, good and
bad, which have been thrust upon us,
no one has yet Invented a way of
achieving success without hustling
for it. The work of the farmer has

mains that if he is going to make a
success he must, to use a street
phrase, "get up and dust."

Rheumatic Pains and C?.tarrh
The following prescription is very
simple, but is the most effective obtain
able for neutralizing acid poisons in
the blood and relieving rheumatism
and all its kindred ailments; it will
also quickly restore the system to a
healthy condition. Any one can pre

before each meal and at bed time.
The bottle must be well shaken each
time." Toris Root Compound is a
product of the laboratories of the Globe

The good effect of this treatment is
said to become apparent after the first
few doses and that it is a remarkable
system builder and renovator.
