This is the killing of the victim by will power, It is , a nice, easy, safe and relined Way of doing away with an enemy, and it Is certain to appeal at a glance to any murderously inclined person of culture. Most people are, inclined to regard the statement that murders are cornanilaed In this way ae absurd. Of course, it does seem preposterous that by the mese exercise of a strong w 111 power one person oan accomplish the destruction of another, even if the lat- ter be several hundred miles avi ay.

One peculiar- ity of these oases is that the killers glory in their work and point to It with pride. It would add an Interest- ing chapter to these ir.veatigaticns if the law should get after on of these self-confessed thought murderers and try to convict him of crimes It would open up many vast fields in ct.minal law and wouli demand a re- construotf of the criminal statutee of every na on the g etas. :acme of the psychic experts believe that it is possible to kill by willing and attribute the power to a species of hypnotism. Long ago hypnotism became an established fact, but its operations are Iimfited to people who are peouliarly susceptible to its power. Men and women of strong and master- ful intellectuality ere unaffeoted by the doings of the hypnotist. But the' Victims of the alleged killers by will - Big have been men foremost in the ranks of science. The late Dr. Anna Kingsford, the prominent lady physician, who died not long ago. was one of the first to come out and acknowledge herself as a 'k$ •, , by willing, and Edward Mait- lan. ,� ho recently brought out a book abou .> . , describes these killing's with pollitm,ninoue detail. Mrs. Kingsford was a strange woman In many ways. She was an accomplished physician and the wife of a.n English clergyman. They agreed to part and for her to live in "intellectual oom'panionship" with Mr. Maitland, While pursuing her medical studies in Paris she started a war against the vivisectionists. She willed the death of Professor Claude Bernard and he died. Then she willed the death of Paul Bert, another noted scientist and be died. Her next seleoted victim was Louis Pasteur, who became 111, but re- covered, and this so worked upon Mrs. Kingsford that she died herself. A year later Professor Pasteur died. The newest case developed by the in- vestigators is given in the words of the wilier, and seem rather extrava- gant, but they have merited the at) tentibn of scientists. They surpass in detail anything ever before given to the world in this line, and are clea.rty cases of psychic "black magic," the exercise of which power Madame Bla- vatsky denounced as "a weed which it win take seven and seven tlmee seven of us to extirpate." Truly strange things are upon us at the end of the century. Never Falls. Here is an old astrologtoal prediction of the character of a girl born In each months : uary—She will be a prudent housewife, given to melancholy, but good-tempered and fond of fine clothes.

April—Inconsistent, not very Intelli- gent, but likely to be good -.Looking and studious of fashion plates. May—Handsome, amiable arud given to style In dress. June—Impetuous; will marry early, be frivoulous and like dressy clothes. July—Possibly handsome, but with a sulky temper and a pernchant for g -ay attire. August—Amiable and practical, like- ly to marry rich and dress strikingly. September—Discreet, affable, much liked and a fashionable dresser. October—Pretty and coquettish and devoted to attractive garniture. November --Liberal, kind, of a mild disposition and an admirer of etylleh dress.

LOLA, THE CHIPPEWA GIRL, OF MAR- VELLOUS SPEED"AFOOT. She Can Outruns. the Fastest Sprinters Among Men or Fell a Tree Like a Veteran Woodman — Her Wonderful and Superb Powers of Endurance. The new woman is coming to the front in the most unexpected dlrectiocs. Century runs by bloomer girls are as common as dirt and female baseball, football and tennis enthusiasts are found on every hand. It has remained for an obscure hamlet In Northern Michigan to produce a brand new speid- men genus homo, species sprinter. 13urdicksville is a small corner set- tlement in Leelenaw County, on the shore of Gleet Lake. Not more than fifty people live at the "corners," but five or six hundred persons in the sur- rounding territory are dependant upon its general store fur supplies. Logging is the principle industry, and the neigh- borhood produces as tine specimens of physical manhood as one wishes to see. Thirty years ago, before Burdtcksville existed, Pierre Crows, a herculean backwoodsman from Canada, settled 011 the north shore of the lake and soon became famed throughout that region for his strength and agility. He could outrun, outs restle, outlift, uutspar and outdrink any man for a circuit of fifty miles, and his opinion on athletic mat- ters was law. "Ah, tell you, boys," he was wont to say to his admiring listen- ers, "Ze man cannot do what se laidee can do if she 11f (live) right. Ze mare outrun ze horse, ze doe outrun ze stag, vy shall not ze laidee outrun ze man? I will see it prove some day." Crow! was so persistent in advocating his favorite theory that it became a standing Joke in the neighborhood, and one day people were surprised to learn that he had adopted a Chippewa In- dian papoose, about three years of age, and intended to make a practical de- monstration of his theories. From the time of her adoption by Crowl the girl was practically training. She was given regular and systematic exercise in run- ning, wrestling and other athletic ac- complishments, and by the time she was 12 years old became noted in the neighborhood for her feats of endur- ance, At 16 she could outrun any man, and could dstance any skater, in a re- gion famous for its skating. She could fell a giant hemlock as quickly and skillfully as any man in the country and it is a common saying in the neigh- borhood that she can "lick her weight in wild cats." She is now 19 years old, weighs 117 pounds, and is as lithe and active as a panther. She dresses in a combination of male and female attire, consisting of a man's flannel shirt and coat, a short skirt, reaching to the knees, knickerbockers and leather leggings reaching to the skirt, Her foster fath- er, Crowl, is in feeble health, and it is not yet decided whether he will be able to follow out his intention of bringing the young Amazon to the east to enter her for all the running events under ten miles in the summer and fall meets. N. W. Helm of Burdicksville, who has LOLA, THE CHIPPEWA MAIDEN. recently timed her over a 100 -yard course, says she does the distance in nine and one-half seconds with tae utmost ease, and he is confident that an a fast track site can reduce this by at least half a second. She does the quarter, half. mile, five and ten mile distances in proportionally fast time, and as there is nothing In the Amateur Athletic Union rules to bar women, it may be that the crack amateur Sprint- ers of the world will be compelled to bow before a woman shortly. The woman's 100 -yard record for America has until recently been at the sixteen mark, but this has been re- duced to fourteen and one-half seconds by an athletic young lady of Vassar College within a short time. Lola, as the young Indian girl of Northern Michigan Is called, has received a good common school education and is as pro- ficient in all the ordinary domestic arts as any housewife. The young men of the neighborhood, however, hold her physical prowess too much In awe to "go a -courting," and In consequence the girl sees little society except that i f her foster father.—Special Cor. Phila- delphia Press. A Four Years' Martyrdom. Woman's strongest tool in dealing with her own sex is Innuendo. The ac- cusation that is brought by the hint, the whisper, the chuckle, Ls the one that does the greatest harm. There Is nothing definite to catch at. You cannot slay rumor. You may live it down, nut it takes a tong time to do it, and it wears the soul of you. The malicious laugh of a woman often costs another years of suffering. When the victory arrives, it is not much of one—like all trium'ptis. An old man came to talk with a woman re- cently. "I want to ask your forgive- ness," he said. "Four years ago I heard a good woman say a shameful thing of you. It grew in my mind till I could see no good in You. A. week ago I found out that y'ou never (Mee were wrong in any way in your life.

Pack up 1" exclaimed Mr, Bowser, as he unlopked the front door the other evening and' kicked his hat clear into the sitting room- "iiaev ) uu gone crazy?" gasped Mrs. Bowser, as she oamne forward to meet hint. Net if itis court known herself ! What d'ye think we are going to do.? How long will it take to pack up your furniture ?" "What an earth is the matter now?" "We are going to move! See thio paper ? I signed it this afternoon. Mrs. Bowser, 1've done the sharpest, cutest and moat sensible thing you ever knew me to do. I've leased Green's farm, and we take possession next week and Green muves into this house." "You—you don't tell me!" she stam- mered, as he danced around the room. "Don't I! 'Think of it, Mrs. Bowser— cows to milk, hogs to feed, plowing and hoeing and reaping—fresh milk, golden butter, newly -laid eggs—whoopee!" She grew pale and weak and had to sit down and she had stared at him for thirty seconds when he asked: "Well, why don't you jump up and click your heels together? Think of your going out at early dawn to feed the hogs and pet the lamb and pull the calf's ears! Think of strawberries right off our own vines --meadow larks—ap- ples, pears and plums right at our own door! Yum! Yum! Why, woman, I ex- pected you'd faint away when I told you the news!" "So—you've—leased—a—farm?" She slowly queried. "Of course I have, and next woek we'll be out ga.11opin' o'er the dewy grass listening to the bluebirds and rolling down hill among the daisies. Why, I can't wait for the time to come! Dr. Gregg, who came up on the car with me, says it will prolong our lives by fifteen years. You get the pure quill out there—no smoke or dirt ca cinders. You'll look like a bride inside of a month, and as.for the old man— well, you won't know me after I've rip- ped up an acre of soil! What's the matter with you?" "I—I wish you hadn't done it!" re- plied Mrs. Bowser, as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "You—do—eh? Wish I hadn't leased a farm and prolonged—prolonged, Mrs' Bowser—our lives by fifteen year! Wish you weren't going out among the birds and blossoms and spices and pure, sweet air! Wish you were not going to see lambkins gambol and calves frisk and pigs rub themselves against the rail fences! Well, you do beat me!" "'Yee WILL BE THERA TO CALL 115 FAR- MER JOE." "Mr. Bowser, you are no farmer," she said, as she got her feelings under control. "Oh, I ain't," he shouted. "What's the matter that I'm no farmer? Why, I was sowing, and planting and reap- ing before you had cut your first tooth! No farmer, eh? Don't you worry your- self that I can't make a cornfield get up and hump itself a6if ;;rowing for a prize medal, and that I don't know beans from peas. Even If I wasn't a farmer, couldn't I learn? Haven't I pot the necessary sawdust in my head to hold a plow or handle a scythe? I am not going to the country to eat salt pork three times a day and put in eighteen hours of hard work, but for the sake of our health and the change." "What's the matter of our health?" "Matter of our health—humph! Look at me! I've lost twenty pounds in the last seven days. I have nightsweats and a day cough. My lungs, liver, kidneys and general system Is simply tottering on the verge of the grave. Look in the glass! You are 32 years old, but you look to be 50. Doctor Gregg said that 1f I didn't get you out of town ,ou'd collapse within a fortnight." "Then he's an idiot!" she exclaimed. "You are In the best of health, and so am I and the boy. This having a farm le simply another fad of yours, and the most foolish thing you ever did." "W—what! Do you know what YOU are saying, Mrs. Bowser? And you want me to die on the street! And yot want to collapse and die In the house! And you want our boy's Intellect to be stunted for the want of fresh air! I wouldn't have believed It of you— wouldn't have believed It! And you call It a fad, to boot!" "Things will not go right, and you will blame me," she said, as he walked around the room. "How can things go wrong?" he de- manded. "And how could I blame you if they did? I have never blamed you about anything yet, and why be- gin now? Come, now, be sensible. Mere is the lease duly signed. We are going. We are going out into the pure ozone of the country, Mrs. Bowser, to sieeD and eat and put fat on our ribs, Just think of climbing trees, picking bleak - berries, feeding the hens, stoning frogs and gathering young onions under the light of the silvery moon! The crickets will sing you to sleep and the meadow lark will waken you in the morning. By George! but I can't wait!" "And the lease is really signed?" she asked. "There it Is. I take the farm for btx months, and he takes the house." "And you can't back out?" "Baok out? What on earth do I want to back out for? I couldn't back out If I wanted to. I'll have men here to do the packing to -morrow. When you come to think the matter over, I'm sure you'll agree with me." I suppose we must go," she sighed. "Ah! That's the way to talk?" he exclaimed, as he held her in his arms and klssed her. "Now you are sensi- ble. Now our tives will be saved. Now I will swing the mowing machine through the waving grass to the notes of the robin's song, while you make soft soap in the back yard and call the geese, Mrs. Bowser, I am the happiest mai In all this States" "Perhaps we shall take comfort" 41, Ir "?erbaps! There's no P rilap�t- t. We'll take dead loads of` "comm ort. We can't help it. That's what we go for, and as I enter the kitchen with a pail of milk in one band and a calf in the other you'll be there in sow white apron to greet me and call me farmer Joe." "What will you bring a calf into the kitchen for?" she asked. Becausethat's the way farmers do. And we'll go out and scratch the pigs' backs," and we'll get up at night to Jump over the currant bushes and pick strawberries, and we'll wander o'er the barn yard whale the hush of midnight is upon the land, By the great horn - spoon Mrs. Bowser, but we've struck it, and you are just the nicest, sweet- est little woman in all this big world! Say, come and giVe your old Bowser a hug and a bus, and I'll gu down and engage the packers!" Note—Unless all signs fall, Mr. Bow- ser has got into something worse then a bear trap, and even the author dy7't know how he is going to get out ON BEHALF OF JANE. I had passed the night at the cabin of a settler named Green, who had a wife and four children, and there was living with him a sister about 30 years old by the uame of Jane, This young woman had a form which was all an- gles and her face was the homeliest thing in the State of Kansas. I, of course, talked to her more or less and sought to be agreeable, and when I resumed my journey .ext morning I shook hands with. her as web as the man and his wife. I had gone about three miles, when I was overtaken by Mr. Green, who was armed with a rifle and had a knife, and as he came up he said: "Stranger, if you are the sort of man I take you to be, we needn't go into court with this case." "What do you mean?" I asked, in astonishment, "You know what I mean, sir! If we go into court, we shall make it hot for you?" "Into court for what?" "Why, about Jane, my sister. I ler her in a fit, with her eyes rollin', whe I come away from home. Poor gal' It's a hard blow to her!" "What do you mean about Jane Just tell me straight out what you ar driving at, will you?" "Look here, sir!" he sternly replied, as he fondled his rifle, "you create hopes in that girl's heart that you'd marry her!" "Never! Never!" "Yes, you did! You talked with he and smiled at her, and she never slept a wink all night for thinkin' you'd ask her to marry you before goin' away this morning." "Great Scott! man, but she must be a dunce! I only showed her common politeness!" "But she fell in love with you." "I can't help that, can I?" "You've got to help! You've crushed her heart and have got to pay for it. It's agin the laws of t! is state to riz up a gal's hopes and then bust 'em. Will you settle or go into court?" "How much to settle?" "Now that's the "way to talk. Now 1 won't have to do no shootin'. Now I kin go back and face Jane and ask her to live on and hope some more! Stran- ger, you look sorter decent, and mehbe you didn't mean to toy with her maid- enly heart aril so I'll let you off fur seven dollars." "And 1f I don't pay?" "Wall, I may get mad and shoot, or I may take you into court and sue for $20,000. I wouldn't take no risks It I was you, as this Is one of my days for gittin' mad purty easy." I told him I'd pay, and I did pay, though I looked upon 1t as highway "YOU'VE CRusaFr HER HEART AND DAVE SOT TO PAY FOR IT. robbery, and aster pocketing the money he replied: "It hasn't no robbery.

"Of course. 'That's an old idea." "I hearn it some time ago myself." "It has some beats of fact, too.
