Don't cvo*«A ir»r>d •cenUo* b«t R»ther cJonely, Sh-h-h-h h h-h »h You know that woman who w»» a I tollin’* of yore fortune up to the or-1 pry bias t’other nitef Tore you her—heat rf hrr te’l Knoy G?tU* ‘u“1 T ” nrd the other folk about the great prosperitv thnt wa* a ruin' to com* to them -told them ail about who they was kin to. sail them dark and dangerous lecnu-.1 Yeah; Madam Wander; turc. that'.f her. I Well, now, don't you go to worry in' none ebout what *hc told, 'cau.,cj here i* the .tialght dope or how -the, done it: Yoo may have noticed thul the' marvelous mystic and pheiwmoril i peyrhlc carefully avoided answering I question* arked: by non rc.id. nt- of; Dunn, by thooe who had been here' less than *ix months and by thoae whose question* were written on the sheets of psper lorn from the pro-; pored scratch pad* by the dictatorial Doctor Waterhouse, the lady*, mag* i Bificient manager. After the doctor had gathered in “** books handed out to you hr w ould j by a clever trick of preotigidation,! secrete the one he wanted under hi* coat- The others hr would, with the utmost nonchalance, flier upon the1 apron of the stage wfccie they would j remain in plain view of the awed au-1 dience until the end of the perfoim* mc«. wiiiie tli* nit of the ft how win < progrtMiag thraag* the those whose question* wrre written oa the book he had hidden. When the mitral was ushered to her throne by the modern 8vengali the stage was all ret. If you were one of the lucky questioners she had a line on you from A to Zed. You want to know who wa> her i confederate’ It is probable that she had none. She did not need to adopt so crude a method. In Chirago there is a bureau which supplies information to all the psy chic fakirs In the country. This bu reau has the name af every person: who ever fell within the dutch of a fortune teller, medium or palmist, and all other such information that it has been able to get from liunn and Bndatreet, the census bureau and every other agency It can ure. Information so gained Is catalogu ed, indexed, cross Indexed, divided into states, counties, towns and vit lagea, and so arranged that any sub acriber can get what he wants on short notice. When a medium or for tune teller decides to invade North Carolina, the several towns to be vis ited are listed and sent to the bureau and the necessary Information is rent —and it hi about as complete a lot of information at can be gotten to gether. So, when the recent visitor came to oar town she had a good lino on us. If she diacovered any errors ip the Information sent her it is prob able that the corrections arc al-endy an their way. The next visitor of thi* character will have more dependable collection of data on which to base her mystifying stunts. O, yes; it all waa vary interesting aak that! How did madam manage to tell what month a person was horn In when the doctor would atop la front of the aaid person and shoot: ‘Mad am, what month was this man bom lat” Madam would answer “Jons.” Doe would yell, "Right," but doe had taken the precaution to aak the per son the question first. If the person's month of birth had been July, he would havs changed the wording ol his question, giving her the correct “o(Rcf,.M But, you any, “the doctor eom< times would aak madam the none ol some person ho waa standing basidu.' Very simple. Before the act start ad Doc and Madam would pick ou a fallow whoso age and name the; had already ascertained. When h< neked tbo question Madam knew wha to aay. O, yes; M all'waa vrey intemstini —vary elsmr indeed. Bnl, if madan has given you a lino of bunk nbou writing and asking questions wboo matters you should keep to your sell doa’t you do It—end above all, I you ars so weak as ta write, don send any menoy.
