His Conjure Did Not Work in the
Police Court.
J. L. Foster, alias A. B. Jackson,
colored, is in Wake County jail to an
swer tor alleged swindling opera
tions.
The plan of Foster was to ap
proach some of the more ignorant
of his race and reveal his powers to
find hidden treasure for so much a
find. It did not seem to occur to
the victims that if Foster could lo
cate buried money so easily that he
would be likely , to dig it up himself
rather than give away the location
for a comparative song.
Foster had an old watch case filled
with dried blood, which he claimed
was from the bodies of two persons)
who had been murdered. For $7.20
he told old man Henry Jones where
to dig in his garden for a pot of
money. But Foster concluded to do
the digging and required the old man
to stay in his house for two hours.
When the two hours were up Foster
had disappeared.
Later he caught a bunch of victims
for $1.80 each .and told them to die
in a certain spot on the Glenwood
property. He left them to do the
digging while he went to the ceme
tery to commune with spirits.
But Foster, or Jackson, finally
landed in the police court and his
victims appeared against him. In de
fault of $100 bond, he went to jail.

Friend in the Blankets.
The other day, while walking
through one of the Sixth Avenue
department stores, I stopped in the
blanket department, and noticed a
salesman showing a young lady the
different kinds of blankets. After
opening out about fifty different
kinds, the young lady remarked that
she didn't wish to purchase any just
now, but was "just looking for a
friend," whereupon the salesman po
litely said:
"Well, madam, there is another pile
on the shelf ; let's look through them.
Probably we can find your friend
among them."
The young lady took her departure
in double-quick time. New York

We are haunted by an ideal life.
and it is because we have within us
the beginning and the possibility of
it. Phillips Brooks.
There is but one conceivable prepa
ration for the life to come; and that
is the discipline and building up of
character. Dean Church.
Every day that dawns brings some
thing to do which can never be done
as well again. We should, therefore,
try to do it ungrudingly and cheer
fully. It was designed to be our
life, our happiness. Instead of shirk
ing it or hurrying over it, we should
put our whole heart and soul into
it. James Reed.
So, too. there come to all of us
places where the way of life parts
before us, and eternal destinies de
pends on the choice we make, wheth
er we choose God or the world, Christ
or self ; to do right and be true in the
hour of temptation, or to walk in the
brilliant and attractive way of sin
that leads to death. Peloubet.
"The steps by which we have come
up hither have crumbled away be
hind us, and there is no returning."
There is no going back to amend the
mistakes of the past. They may be
forgiven ; they may bo graciously
over-ruled and turned to good ac
count. The only thing we can do
about them is to see that there is no
repetition of them.
