‘As Thomas Ryan, veteran dry agent, was
about to take the witness stand in Chicago

and nothing but the truth, he fell forward on
his face, greviously wounded. No shot was
heard, no discharged guns'found in locked
courtroom. The above telephoned photo shows
Edwin K. Walker, prohibition commissioner
(gray-haired man facing camera at left) and
others in same positions as when Ryan was
mysteriously shot. Bullet entered dry agent’s

Paris.—To stake one's fortune on !
the turn of ;t. card is not a parti
cularly rare occurrence p.muns:.per-1
sons of sporting ij^t-linatiodia-* Bu<
—to choose between life and death
according to the dictates of a sim
ple piece of pasteboard with a fan
tastic design on it——!
Yet that is exactly , what beauti
ful Jenny Colder did. And Jenny
chose death, taking n by moans of
a pistol aimed at her heart.
Every: thing she could ask of life
seemed to be at pretty Jenny's feet.
She, was the idol of the Parts music
halls. She had beauty of face and
figure; plenty of money; a host of
worshiping admirers; in every re
spect she was on the crest of a
wave, with every prospect oi re
maining there for fen years to come.
t Consulted Tarot Cards.
And then she adopted the fad:
which has wrought such grotesque
effect in Paris. Jenny began con
sulting the gypsy tarot fortune
telling cards, to learn their predic-1
tions of her future.
To her distress, the cards fore
cast poverty and misfortune in old
age begi-i appearing not once but
repeatedly. It wasn’t a coincidence
to Jenny; it was a dire warning.
Her apparent “fate" began to
prey on her mind. She could see
her radiant beauty fall prey to
the ravages of illness. All her lovely
possessions disappeared, in her
Imagination, and were replaced by
the rags of poverty. The spectacle 1
was more than Jenny could bear ;
Her mind lost its -balance,' and - soon
tier devotees wen- shocked to hear
of her suicide.
h’01 ail the incident.! in the wake
oi this new Parisian erase for the
occult, are as tragic as the case of
Jenny Odder.

political circles were rocked with
ribald laughter upon learning that
one. legislator confessed to consult
ing an "astrologer ' before casting
hr, vote on matters of state. It de
veloped that the “fortune teller”
knew more about practical politics
than' about the meaning of the
stars. ■
A typical in lance is presented by
an American widow in Parts, of
more wealth than discretion, who
took her romantic yearnings to a
Madame Lianc, to be interpreted
through the cards. Madame Liane
confided in the widow that she
woijld presently be visited by a “tall
dark man.” The tall dark man en
tered the American lady’s life with
in two days. He nearly succeeded to
marrying the Americano—and her
money—when he was revealed as
thp broth of the omniscient seer.
