FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , DECEMBER 8 , 1905.
Who Learned The Lesson.
It is related of a lawyer that
he desired liis ofliee boy to culti
vate better manners. The young
American broke into the oflice
one morning like a young cyclone
and , shying his hat at a hook
said ; "Say Smith , there's a ball
game this afternoon and I want
to go. " "Now Jiinmie , " replied
the lawyer , "how many times
must I tell you to be more polite.
That isn't the way to ask a favor.
Yon sit down now and be the
lawyer and I will be the ofliee
boy and show yon how yon should
act. " 'Phe boy complied with a
grin. 'Phe lawyer stepped into
the hall and returning , closed
the door softly said ; "please sir ,
there is a ball game this after
noon and I will be very grateful
if yon will excuse me that I may
attend. " "Sure Jimmie , " re
plied the boy. "and here's fifty
cents to pay your way in. "
An Important Discussion.
One of the most interesting
scienti lie articles of the year if
"Some McdinmiHtic Pheno
mena , " by David P. Abbott o !
Omaha , aiulpublished | in "Tlu
Open Court , " a Chicago and
London magazine. The authoi
of the article was a former re
sident of Palls City , and has re
latives andjjmany acquaintances
in Bentrice.
The article describes a mos
intricate spiritualistic trick per
formed by a traveling mediun
some time ago , and theexplana
tion of the trick as figured on
and demonstrated by Mr. Abbot
after the departure of thu so
called medium. It is a storj
well told , and the fact that it i ;
published in one of the most ex
elusive scientific journals in tin
world , shows lioV highly is re
garded the discover } ' made b ;
the writer' and indicates tin
care taken in the preparation o
the article.
Mr. Abbott is not only one o
the best thinkers in the countr
along scientific lines , but he ha
devoted a large amount of tim
and money to the invesligatioi
of the mesmeric and spiritualis
tie tricks so much in use by th
traveling clairvoyants and med
iuina , and has been of much set
vice in exposing some harmfu
frauds. At the same time he i
capable of giving demonstra
tions of the most intricate o
these tricks , whereby he is abl
to entertain and thorough ! ,
puzzle those who like to witnes
or investigate this sort of busi
ness. It is to his credit that h
has never permitted an ami i tote
to go away with the idea tha
anything he has done is mystei
ions or supernatural. In th
article referred to above he says
"With the knowledge o
trickery that I possess , 1 hav
iu all cases where I h a v
seen anything of this kind , bee
able to explain it by trickerj
All my life I have been lookin
for phenomena of this kiiu
but have never been able i
see just one little bit that w ;
genuine. "
After reading this admirabl
article in the "Open Court ,
one wishes that it might I
published broadcast in ordc
that a stop be put to the absur
business which gulls so mar
people out of money in the ;
clairvoyant and "trance mei

is spent in hunting the different stores through. The
Christmas gift problem is again confronting you , but
we think the problem will be easily > solved bv a visit
to our store where you can see the most magnifient
showing of gift goods. We have been studying the
market for months and our splendid stock is the result
of our research. A small amount of money will go a
long way here , for our prices are exceptional this year. f
This is also a feature made possible by our careful
buying.
You had better see these goods as soon as you
can , because the indications are that there will be much
early buying this year. Those who come early will of
course have a chance to select the choicest goods.
We take this method of announcing to you that
our stock is now ready for inspection. It's a stock
from which you can select gifts for man , woman or
child. We hope you'll come early and often. You
are sure to find what vou want.
