THE DEAD GUIDE THE LIVING.
Immortalism, n New Religion by
Bishop fallows, of Chicago.
Spirits of the dead are to be
made business partners of the liv
in;. They are to share the private
offices of lie successful men uf
the future- die near future. Tlieir
voices ate to say ihe ''buy" and
t'te "sell" that will make and un
make the fortunes of to-morrow.
Their hands are to guide the atlairs
of the world.
All ihese things ate a part of ihe
scheme of immortalism, ihe
science-religion launched by Very
Reverand Samuel Fallows, bishop
of Chicago, head of the Emmanuel
movement there.
"Spirit rapping and spirit fakes
play no part in immortalism," says
Bishop Fallows. "I believe spir
its will soon talk to material per
sons, as I now talk to my living
friends. I believe spirits will ad
vise their friends on business top
ics, on what they should do and
how and when they should do it.
In Biblical days the prophets
talked with spirits and received
direction about their actions.
Those who believe in the Bible
! will, therefore, readily accept this
new .interpretation. Others will
' receive it because it will be proved
; to them."
! I'.XPKCTS SCHOOLS TO TEACH ISM.
! So certain is Bishop Fallows that
! immortalism is destined to become
a generally accepted part of ihe in
tellectual world of the future he
predicts the speedy teaching of
ihe new science in the schools.
"Gcorgraphy and arithmetic are
parts of a business education," he
says. "Communication with spir
its will be so much broader in its
influence and so much more valu
able that it might also be part of
! the curriculum of colleges and
schools."
The batile of unseen forces in
the world's marts which is predic-
ted in such statements is said by
the followers of immortalism to be
' a definite thing thai will come to
; pass. Wherever there is need of
great judgment, knowledge and
foresight, there, says the immor
lalists, will the spirits prove tlieir
wonh.
VALUE OF EXPERIENCE.
"Think of what the experience
of millions of years would mean to
a financier," says the believers.
"Figure the value of friends now
dead who could give the benefit
not only of their lifetime of expe
rience but that of other spir
its, the spirits of Napoleon,
Caesar, Solomon, Cromwell,
Jay Gould and everyone else in
ihe unknown world.
"This is not a dream. Snirts
j now talk to us. They tell us things
ihat prove tlieir existence, unce
Lthey are sought sincerely and with
j intelligence it will be easy to ar
I range a common meeting ground,
; so that the problems of life may be
j solved through the advice of those
j who before us have solved those
problems."

THE GREAT GUEST GOMES.
While the cobbler mused there passed his plane
A beggar drenched by the driving rain;
He called him in from the stony street
And gave him shoes for his bruised feet,
The beggar went, and there came a crone
Her face with wrinkles of sorrow sown;
A bundle of fagots bowed her back,
And she was spent with the wrench and rack.
He gave her his loaf and steadied her load
As she look her way on the weary road.
Then to his door came a little child.
Lost and afraid in the world so wild,
In the big dark world. Catching it up
He gave it the milk in the wailing cup,
And led it home to its mother's arms,
Out of the reach of the world's alarms.
The day went down in the crimson west,
And with it the hope of the blessed Guest;
And Conrad sighed as the world turned gray;
"Why is it, Lord, that your feet delay?
Did you forget that this was the day ?"
Then, soft, in the silence a voice he heard:
"Lift up your heart, for I kept my word.
Three times I came to your friendly door;
Three times my shadow was on your floor,
I was'the beggar with bruised feet;
I was the woman you gave to eat;
I was the child on the homeless street."
"THE BAGGAGE
On a dark and stormy night, as the train rattled on,
All the passengers had gone to bed,
Except one young man with a babe in his arms,
Who sat there with a bowed-down head.
The innocent one was crying aloud,
As if its poor heart would break,
One angry man said, "Make that child stop its noise,
For you are keeping us all awake."
"Put it out," said another, "tion't keep it in here,
For we've paid for our berths and want rest.'
But never a word said the man witfnhe babe,
As he fondled it close to his breast.
"0 1 where is its mother? go take it to her,"
This lady then kindly said ;
"I wish that I could," was the man's sad reply,
"But she is dead in the coach ahead."
Every eye filled with tears as his story he told,
Of a wife who was faithful and true;
He told how he had saved his earnings for years,
Just to build up a home for two.
How when heaven had sent them this dear little bibe,
Their young happy lives were blessed:
In tears he broke down when he mentioned her name,
And in tears tried to tell the rest.
Every woman arose to assist with the babe,
There were mothers and wives on that train;
And soon was the little one sleeping again,
With no thought of sorrow or pain.
As the train rattled on, a husband sat in tears,
Thinking of happiness of a few shoi t years;
Baby's face brings a picture of a cherished hope t iai's dead,
But baby's cry can't waken her in the baggage coach ahead.
Next morning at the station he bade all good-bye,
"God bless you," he sadly said;
Each one had a story to tell in their homes,
Of the baggage coach ahead.

Wife and Translated by Helen Roland for

How long, oh, daughter, shall the high priests in the pulpits continue
to rave and cry out concerning "The ideal woman ?" For every man
knoweth that she is the one he did not marry.
But I say unto thee, "What is the ideal man?" And every woman

For she that is wedded unto an Adonis shall declare, "He is like
unto Caliban, which hath crooked legs and embonpoint and is so unat
tractive that no other woman will look at him."
But she that hath married a Caliban will reply sadly, "Nay, he is a
thing of beauty whom thou canst kiss without turning out the gas."
She whose spouse cometh home always by a circuitous route shah"
cry, "He is a temperance lecturer ! yet the wife of a goody-goody shall
retort, "Nay, he is a jolly good fellow who sometimes seeih a joke and
taketh his wife unto the theater occasionally."
Yea, she whose husband buyeth her bonbons and silk stockings with
the rent money, shall declare, "He is a miser." Yet the wite of a
penurious man shall vow, "He is one who looketh not over the house
hold accounts to sec that an ounce

like unto the man whom I am going to marry, but have not yet gotten."
Yet, I say unto thee, he is a dead husband, which hath left thee
"Mrs." on thy name and a good income with which to buy becoming

For is not the most attractive jelly always that upon the top shelf,
and the most attractive girl jhe one across the street, and the biggest
fish the one which swam away, and the only perfect wife the other
man's wife?
Go to !, Question me not concerning why a woman marryeth the
sort of man she doth marry? For there are many reasons, but the
chief of these is because he hath asked her. For every woman know
eth that matrimony is a cross but that an old maid is sometimes
crosser.
Yea, a husband is a tonic which is bitter to the taste, but sweeteneth
the disposition. And it is easier to work any man than to work for a
living ! Selah !

Seeing that they were in a jok

"They each said "Yes."
"Then I'll give a hat to the one

"Hand over that hat," said one
of ihe party, "I've won it."
"When were you married?"
"Yesterday," was the reply,
and the hat was handed over.
One of the others was laughing
heartily while telling his wife of
the joke, but suddenly pulled up
when she said :

"1 would lay awake fur hours

of nervousness. After taking

Without sleep the nervous
system soon becomes a wreck,
am! the healthful activity of all
the organs obstructed. Restful,
body-building sleep accompanies
the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine
because it soothes the irritable
nerves, ami restores nervous
energy. When taken a few days
according to directions, the most
restless sufferer will find sleep
natural and healthful. Get a
