SPRING FESTIVAL AND PAGEANT OF FLOWERS TONIGHT
Mammoth Spectacle for the Benefit of the Orphans' Home Will Include Many Novel New Features
Mammoth spectacular pageant of flowers and picturesque May pole will feature the spring festival, which will be held tonight. (Friday, June 4), by the Young Ladies' Reading Club, on the spacious grounds of the Orphans' Home on Natural Bridge Road.
It is to be hoped that the hundreds of citizens who planned to be patrons of the Young Ladies' Reading Club Spring Festival last week, will not fail to avail themselves of the pleasure of witnessing this splendidly planned outdoor fete.
A bevy of interesting and attractive young women will participate in the evening program on the lawn which will be transformed into a picturesque woodland scene by moonlight. Special fantasies and fairy-like movements will be given by individual members and assistants.
Popular admission to the grounds, 15 cents or 25 cents per couple. Music and refreshments will continue throughout the evening.
All tickets dated May 28 good for Friday night, June 4. Let everybody come.
Pleasant Green To Honor Their Pastor
* Members of the Pleasant Green Baptist, Church, at Elliott and Wash Streets, have planned a unique commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Rev. J. K. Parker's pastorate of that church. All members that joined the church from 1905 to 1915 are expected to give 10 cents for each year, or $100, as a token. Many have promised to give more.
The Pleasant Green congregation is divided into a number of companies. The soldiers are to report to their captains prior to June 13. On Monday, June 14, a grand love feast entertainment will be given under the auspices of the "Originals." If there are any deserters from this vast army of Christian workers they are expected to return to the ranks and help to make this commemoration a notable success.

WHAT WILL THE SCHOOL BOARD DO?
As the school year draws to a close citizens from all over the city are seeking information as to what disposition the principal and superintendent, together with the school board, will make of the condition of affairs at the Summer High School. Nearly every day inquiries concerning the matter are received at the Argus office. According to the information received, there is a deep conviction in the community that the usefulness of certain teachers has long since been outlived, and the inquiry is made as to why the school authorities continue to retain them in the face of conditions. An effort to fix the responsibility will doubtless be made unless the matter is handled promptly and rightly.
The thing which is most puzzling to the people, according to the statements made, is that the matter has been twisted about and an attempt has been made to construe the efforts to change conditions as an attack on the school. It is very clear, they state, that Sumner High School has not been attacked; but the bad conditions spoken of relate to the retention of certain teachers who are fully identified so far as the people are concerned. According to these persons there is no reflection on any other teacher at the school save those involved. St. Louis has a very high regard, as a whole, for the teaching force in its schools and especially at the Sumner, but they assert there is no reason to retain there teachers who are unfit and whom the whole community recognizes and designates as such.
For the benefit of inquirers and the public in general, the Argus sets out the manner of employing teachers as applied to the St. Louis schools.
The present school system is the creature, very largely, of the late lamented F. Louis Soldan, who was a big, broad-gauged man. Under this system, the anomalous condition is created that the creature is greater
Terpsichorean Garden On West Belle Pl.
A terpsichorean garden, something new in outdoor summer amusements, will be introduced at 4267 West Belle Pl., Wednesday evening, June 16.
A spacious dance floor, brilliantly illuminated, is being constructed for the real lovers of the fantastic.
The Harmony Orchestra, under the leadership of Eugene R. White, will furnish the music and competent instructors will teach the old and new dances. The garden will also be for rent for strictly first class affairs. The Argus will give further particulars of this new enterprise.

ers were constantly on their trail. As usual, they carried Mrs. Malone's seven passenger Packard touring car with them on this trip., which was in constant use. A Poro Club was organized, while Mrs. Malone was at Indianapolis, among her agents there, that the Poro treatment for the scalp and hair might be more effectively used in that city.
than his creator. The board of education elects the superintendent for a term of years. After he is once elected, the superintendent has the exclusive right to nominate teachers. The only power which the board retains in this matter is the power to confirm his nominees or reject them. It cannot place the name of an individual before it for consideration as a teacher. If anyone who is teaching now fails of recommendation by the superintendent, that is the end of it. There is no power to go behind the action of that officer. This gives him tremendous power and causes members of the board to be in a position peculiar for its weakness. If the superintendent should choose to act arbitrarily about a matter with reference to the appointment or retention of teachers, the board, who created him, would have little power to rectify the matter. Such a system works admirably in the hands of a broad-minded man, who is too big and broad to be swayed by prejudice or influenced unduly by friendship or hatred of individuals.
Mention of the name of Soldan, naturally brings up the question, what would that individual have done under the present circumstances. The Argus has interviewed a number of persons in order to obtain the prevailing sentiment in this regard, and found it unanimous to the effect that Soldan would. have cleaned up this matter in a hurry and that his actions would have been so just and his method so thorough and unbiased as to have settled the affair long before it became public property. The Argus adds its voice to the lamentations of the people: "Oh, for just one day of the judgment, fairness and courage of F. Louis Soldan, and this whole matter would be settled and St. Louis would cease to be the laughing stock of the country. Shades of the departed, hover near and infuse that spirit into the present conditions, we pray."
The First Annual Sermon of the Municipal Janitors' Organization will be preached at Wayman Chapel, 23d and Wash Sts., at 3 p. m., Sunday, June 6: Mayor Kiel will be one of the speakers. Rev. J. W. Carter will deliver the sermon. The general public and all city employees especially are invited to attend.

BIG ATTRACTIONS BOOKED FOR STREET/FAIR
Carnival Company From Georgia Has Been Engaged. Churches, Societies and Lodges Taking Advantage of Big Offer
The big Charity Carnival, Street Fair and Bazaar, which is to be held on the grounds at Cardinal and Manchester from June 21 to July 21, is attracting unusual attention. It is evident that the company, under the management of Robert McClosky, 3227 Laclede, intends to outclass any previous attempts in this line of outdoor summer amusements. During the past week's contract was let to a big carnival company of Georgia and several other attractions were booked.
Many charitable and fraternal organizations have already engaged concession booths under the free offer. In fact, this seems to be a splendid opportunity to replenish the treasury of organizations without expense, as the promoters are offering free space to all applicants.
Mr. McCloskey says his company is prepared to carry out every promise it is making in its advertisements and special communications and will make this big attraction the artistic equal, if not the superior, of any like enterprise projected this summer
Applications for space must be in not later than June 10. A day will be set aside for each organization, and the gate receipts divided. The admission will be 10 cents each night. Those desiring space or further particulars should phone Bomont 2759w or write Robert McCluskey, 3227 Laclede.

He also guarantees the same high-grade service which characterizes this store. Careful dressers will do well to visit the place when in need of haberdashery and clothing of the latest style, best quality and lowest prices.

Many Business, Profession and Fraternal Men Support Movement
As the time draws near for the people to decide by their vote whether we shall have a parkway or not, much interest has manifested itself on the part of colored people in this city. Many men who were inclined to doubt the proposition at first are now loud in the advocacy of the plan. Some of St. Louis' most progressive citizens are supporting the parkway.
A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor, Knights of Pythian, State of Mo., said: "I favor the Central Parkway because we cannot afford to let greater St. Louis fall behind in civic development. The same spirit in St. Louis among its white and colored citizens that exists in Kansas City would secure a Central Parkway by a non-exampled majority."
H. S. Ferguson, a business man, says: "One needs but to witness the multitude enjoying the Parkway of Kansas City to be convinced of its value to the public."
Dr. B. G. Shaw, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church, said: "I believe in a progressive city and will always be found in progressive movements and why shouldn't I favor the Parkway if it stands for the progress of St. Louis?" Many others who believe In "St. Louis to the Front" are lined up for the Parkway and it is predicted that the proposition will carry by a large majority June 8.
MT. ZION NOTES
The 51st anniversary of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 2646 Papin St., Sunday, June 13. All of the members are invited to be present on that day. Dinner will be served. The progress of Zion has been indeed wonderful under the administration of Rev. Wm. Harris. The Lord has added ninety members to the church, and in our Rally Sunday, we raised $170.00 and paid the last note on our church property. Zion is out of debt. Pastor Harris will preach next Sunday on the subject, "Paying the Debt of a Wasted Life."
METROPOLITAN NOTES
By Miss Callie King
Last Sunday was another record breaker at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. It was said by all who were present that Dr. Shaw delivered one of the most powerful sermons that he has ever delivered since being in this city. Several joined the church.
Sunday closes this conference year. The pastor will be away after next Tuesday at conference; he will, no doubt, be at his best Sunday, since it is his farewell sermon for this conference year.
The choir at Metropolitan is charming the city with its sweet singing, the processional and recessional add much to the solemnity of the services. Mr. Austin, the chorister, is receiving many congratulations for the sollenid music rendered by the choir.

TEXT-Study to shew thyself approved unto God.-II Timothy 2:18.
Mr. Gladstone was once asked what was the leading question in England at that time. He replied that there was but one leading question at that time, or at any time, and that was the question of one's relation to the Lord Jesus Christ. He then went on to say that the brainsiest men were those who paid most attention to this subject. "I have known personally all the men who
have been prominent in England during the last fifty years, in business, politics, or literature, and of the sixty most prominent men, fifty-four have been professing Christians."
If Mr. Gladstone was right, and if the question of one's relation to Christ is the leading question which confronts a student, it is very important that he settle it early. Indeed this question lies at the basis of all education. What is the real object of education? It is to increase one's capacity to know God, and to make him known to others. This is what education is for, what life is for. "And this is life eternal that they should know the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent" (John 17:3).
1. The keenest delight of which we are capable comes to us from knowing God. When the devout astronomer Kepler made his great discovery, he exclaimed, "O God, I think thy thoughts after thee." There is no greater joy than this, unless it be that of seeing God's character reproduced in our lives. If this be true, then education is not optional with us, but imperative. We are bound to cultivate every talent which we possess, because each is an avenue through which God can reveal himself to us. We are bound to open every window of our soul "towards Jerusalem," and let in the light of God's glorious truth.
II. The superior advantages which students enjoy make it doubly important that they should become acquainted early with the Lord Jesus. Education enlarges one's capacity to see and foresee, to do and to undo. It multiplies his influence, and thus increases his responsibility, since the welfare of others depends upon his action and attitude. No educated person can possibly live a Christless life without leading others to do the same. This consideration should have great weight. A professor in a large military school recently told the writer that it was the thought of his influence with the boys which led him to decide for God and put himself on record as a Christian.
III. Again, the peculiar temptations which confront a student make an acquaintance with Jesus indispensable. Among these may be mentioned:
(a) The freedom from home restraint. The strong, steady hand of the father and the indescribable influence of the mother is lacking. There is no younger brother or sister to be considered, not even the restraining influence of someone else's sister. The consequence is that one grows selfish and comes to think that all the world was made for him.
(b) The petty vices which prevail so commonly among students. By the side of the writer in college sat the valedictorian of the class. He was a well-disposed man, but he had no religious principles. When others drank he was not strong enough to refuse. After graduation he studied law and became one of the most brilliant and promising lawyers in the state. Temptations now grew stronger and more frequent, and having no acquaintance with him "who is able to save to the uttermost," and "able to keep you from falling," he soon lost his standing and business, and died a common drunkard.
(c) Not the least of the dangers which confront a student is the temptation to doubt. He lives in an atmosphere of inquiry and criticism. Old theories are being laid aside and new facts are constantly being discovered. Possibly he sees some of his instructors, for whose ability he has the highest respect, utterly indifferent to the claims of the Gospel. Literature is full of covert sneers at religion. He is just at the age when his critical faculties are being developed, and he begins to question everything which he once believed. Add to this the natural willingness of the heart to have it so, and you have a combination of circumstances calculated to shake the strongest faith. Some, indeed, think it a sign of superior intellect to doubt, but this is a mistake. It is sometimes a sign of spiritual blindness, and often of moral obliquity. A large part of the skepticism of students is of the heart rather than of the head.
Idle men tempt the devil to tempt them—Spurgeon.

INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY SCHOOL
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of
Sunday School Course of Moody Bible
Institute, Chicago.)
LESSON FOR JUNE 6
NATHAN REBUKES DAVID.
LESSON TEXT-II Samuel 11:22-12:7a.
GOLDEN TEXT—Create in me a clean heart O God.—Psalm 81:10.
This is a lesson that demands great care in its presentation and treatment, which will differ widely according to age. For the younger the briefest sort of statement that David fell in love with Uriah's wife and to obtain her had her husband killed will be sufficient. With such, throw the emphasis upon the danger of harboring evil thoughts and the need of heart purity (see Golden Text).
With adults, however, some time may be devoted to the social evil which is such a menace to every nation, care being taken lest the discussion become morbid, or that we neglect to emphasize the fact that the cure is not in regulation or reformation but in the regeneration of the human heart.
1. David's Many Good Deeds, II Samuel, 7 and 9. As a background for his most repulsive sin David had a long list of excellent deeds. His desire for a better abiding place for the ark was not according to God's will for two reasons: first, that an ornate house might easily corrupt, through idolatry, the spirituality of the Hebrew religion; second, David was a man of war and therefore not qualified for temple building. Though denied, David did not despair, but at once provided that his successor carry out his desire.
II. David's One Great Sin, II Samuel, 11:6. David's victories over his enemies are dismissed in a few verses, yet his sin is set forth in detail—another evidence of the divine origin and inspiration of the Bible. David had followed the example of neighboring kings and taken to himself many wives, evidently regarding his fancy as supreme and himself as above the law. David was "off guard" in the matter of temptation, a dangerous position for all, both soldier and civilian. David had had too long and too great a period of success and prosperity after his long period of privation, and this led to carelessness and pride. David was "off duty," indulging in ease while Joab did his fighting. As a result he became an adulterer and a murderer, and the record in no way seeks to palliate his guilt. From all this the record brings to us many important lessons. Outwardly prosperous and his army successful, David must have felt in his heart the spiritual blight in the words, "but the thing was evil in the eyes of the Lord" (v. 27 R. V.); no psalm writing then.
III. Nathan's Parable, II. Samuel, 12:1-7. It is an evidence of God's grace that he sent his servant to rebuke and restore this "man after his own heart." Such is his mercy, for he does not will that any should perish but that all might come to the knowledge of forgiveness (Ezekiel 33.11; Matthew 23:37). No parable ever had its desired effect more quickly than this one. It brought conviction and repentance (v. 13) and led to the writing of the fifty-first psalm. It was a delicate task set before Nathan thus to rebuke the king, yet it reveals the essential nobleness of David in that he did not become angry. Nathan's task and his wisdom are revealed in his approach and in the way he led David to condemn, unwittingly, his own course of action. This was better than to begin by upbraiding and denunciation. Verse two suggests, inferentially, God's great goodness to David, which made the offense one of gross ingratitude.
IV. Thou Art the Man"-v. 7a. Thus far the story is one all too common, then and now, of the strong crushing the weak and glorying in their selfishness. What follows is the evidence of God's response to man's repentance, the parallel to which has nowhere else been found in the ancient world. The glory of it is that David heard and heeded God's messenger. The whole sordid story with its resultant action on David's part brings us many priceless lessons. (1) That man who had lived a life of faith and communion fell most miserably when he neglected his duty and took his eyes off God. There is a grave danger ahead of the man who begins to trifle with sin (I Cor. 10:12). (2) Though a man fall (the godly man) yet he is not utterly cast down. There is pardon for the vilest sinner and the most 'abject backalider. David's murderous hands and sin-stained soul found pardon (Ps. 32 and 51). (3) A man's sins, though he may find pardon, will cloud all of his future.
David felt it in his own life and family; both daughter and sons felt its blight (see chapter 13), and it brought forth David's immortal lament over Absalom. David's trusted friend joined the son's rebellion and caused David great sorrow (see 11:2; 23:34; 15:21 and Ps. 55:12-14).
A human book would cover up, omit or seek to palliate such an act by one of the great of the earth (cf. the story of Napoleon and Josephine), yet the Bible tells all the facts to serve as a warning and to reveal God's matchless grace and mercy.

Clover Leaf Forging To The Front
District Manager, E. Hawkins, Sees Bright Future For Agents
That the Clover Leaf Casualty Co. of Jacksonville, Ill., is forging its way to the front and in the hearts of St. Louisans is becoming more evident every day. It was the writer's pleasure to call at the local office, located at 2359 Market St., a few days ago, and finding an opportunity to speak at some length with the District Manager, Mr. E. Hawkins, relative to the operation of this company in the city, Mr. Hawkins, who was very busy, said that all he wished to say concerning the company was that they were paying their claims and forging to the front. And as evidence of that fact he pulled from a drawer a list of claims that had been paid through the local office about eight feet long with the names of a large number of business and professional men, and in fact men and women of all classes who had been disabled and had been benefited by receiving their money promptly. When asked what he thought of other companies doing the same kind of business among colored people, Mr. Hawkins produced a list of ten agents directly under him who are employed by the Clover Leaf, and said, "Where is another company in this city that has as many colored men employed?" The Clover Leaf is making places for our men. They have a young woman employed as clerk and cashier, a very responsible position, which she fills with credit.
"I have nothing to say against any other company. I am a booster and have no time to knock. A knocker never won anything by knocking." We found Mr. Hawkins very optimistic on the question of the future for colored insurance agents in this city and said that though the company was always willing to promote and encourage the agents to go to other cities where they might have full charge of a district, he was loath to give up anyone of his force on account of the peace and harmony that exist among them at present.
Mr. H. A. Smith, of the firm of Clark & Smith, tailors, and haberdashers of 2343 Market Street, is now the sole owner of the store and business at that number. The deal was closed Wednesday and Mr. Clark retires. Attorneys Geo. L. Vaughn and Homer G. Phillips represented the members of the firm.

The Argus has been asked time and again to express its opinion
on the European War. We have hesitated doing so for several
reasons. First, there are so many phases of the question—so many
different viewpoints—that it is a problem to know from which an-
gle the question shall be discussed. Next, with our limited edito-
rial space and weekly issues, it is impossible to do justice to any
discussion. And again, the whole matter is so fully and ably han-
dled by our several daily papers, and so many times a day, that it
would seem like prgsumption on our part to add our little “I
say Bo” &
But under the pressure of repeated requests, and in answer to
the oft repeated question which heads this paragraph, we venture
the following opinion;
Is this the last war? No. Does it presage the end of the
world? No, A war in which two hundred miijions of men will go
forth from Asia (beyond the Euphrates) is yet to follow this Euro-
pean War. Scriptural prophecy—which has never yet failed—is
used as an argument in proof of the statement that the present
Great war is Armageddon. But Scriptural-prephecy is often
wrongly interpreted.
We have neither time nor space to quote, but our conclusions
are as follows—based upon a knowledge, of past history, a considér
ation of presesticonditions.and a study jof future propliecy : 4
‘The great Armageddon battle, which will end all human strife
in the battlefield, will probably follow close upon the heels of the
present war; or it may be a continuation of this war. The Euro-
pean war is not near its close. The entrance of Italy into the arena
will not hasten the end.
‘The, present war, the greatest in history, will mark the begin-
ning of the end of human government. The world’s events always
move in a circle. History repeats itself. The world started under
a theocracy. It has swung around through autocracy, monarchy,
limited monarchy, democracy—all segments of the great circle. It
has yet to reach anarchy—no government at all—then the circle
will be complete, and the world wifi have swung back to theocracy
—government by God—like it started. a
Befgre the reign of anarchy, and at the close of this war, there
will be a confederacy of the European States, which may include
America, and this confederacy will rule the world for a short time.
Then anarchy, then the Armageddon battle, then destruction. Af-
ter all this, peace, brotherhood and the reign of righteousness. The
Armageddon battle will not take place within the lifetime of any
of us, The end of the world is not yet in sight. The dawn of the
Millennium is a long way off.
The present war will involve all Europe, part of Asia and prob-
ably America. Millions will die of famine and pestilence. The cry
for peace will not avail.
We are not prophesying. We are neither a prophet nor the
son of one; nor a seventh son of a seventh son. Weare merely.

RODERICK BELL DIES
The sudden death of Mr. Roderick Bell, of Hopkinsville, Ky., devoted brother and nearest surviving relative of Miss Ethel Bell, 3517 Lawton Ave., St. Louis, comes as a shock to his host of friends in this city.

Miss Bell accompanied by her grandmother, Mrs. Broadhurst, left with, the remains Tuesday night at nine o'clock. Arriving at Hopkinsville the Masons took charge of the remains. The funeral took place Thursday.

Some Hints
To Moving
Picture Patrons
As Told by W. H. King, Proprietor
Of The Garden Airdome
2120 Market Street
First, patronize those places that
give your race employment.
When you don't feel like going to Forest Park Highlands, come to the Garden Airdome where you are always welcome. (Blood is thicker than water.)
How many white odeons on Market St. employ colored help?—All of our employees are Colored.
We spent Eight Hundred Dollars in improvements, and every dollar was paid to Colored workmen. How many white odeons on Market St. have done as much for the race?
If you think you are doing right by spending all of your nickles in white odeons, let your daughter apply for a position as Cashier at one of them; and please let us know if she gets the position.
We are giving our patrons the best moving pictures that money can buy, even though we are forced to send to Chicago to get them because the white odeon proprietors on Market St. have bought up all of the local service in an effort to keep us from doing business among our own people. For any further information along this line, see Mr. King, 2120 Market St., at the Garden Airdome.-Adv.

MEMPHIS TIGERS COMING FOR THREE GAMES BEGINNING NEXT SUNDAY
Southern Champions to Meet Giants at Kuebler's Park. Sprudels Break Even in Two Hard Fought Battles
Charlie Mills' Giants will face the Memphis Tigers at Kuebler's Park, in a three-game series, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The Tigers loom up as the champions of the South and bid fair to surprise our diamond stars. The Tennessee boys are traveling in major company this season and three crack-a-jack games can be expected.
The West Baden Sprudels broke the Giants' winning streak Monday by winning a gruelling contest, 2 to 1. Twenty-five hundred loyal fans saw one of the best games ever pulled off here. Young Smith, a new pitcher whom Manager Mills discovered in East St. Louis, pitched a good game, but the Giants could not manufacture enough bingles in Casey, the Sprudels' speedy southpaw, to pull him through victorious. A sensational running left-hand catch by "Spec" Webster in right field was the feature of this game.
Sunday, the Giants scalped the Sprudels to the tune of 5 to 2, before more than 3,000 persons. Williams pitched a good game, and contributed a three-base hit and nine assists. Hewitt and Handy made home runs.
Major League baseball is on tap at Kuebler's Park, and there's quite a bit of Major League jealousy afloat in the atmosphere.
Jack Mertens is giving excellent satisfaction as an umpire. Jack is on the square, that's the best of it.
Hats off to Charlie Mills. You can't catch him napping off first.
Our cordial neighbors on the East Side pulled a bone last week by trying to segregate the Negroes at the Elks' game between our Giants and the East Side team. Mills' caught the signal and threatened to call the game off unless Negroes were permitted to occupy any seats they choose. Granted. But the rain prevented "Spec" and Company from walloping them for being so rude. They also say the New City League tried the same stunt. Same results. No Segregation. Bravo! Charlie.
Mrs. Elnora Wilson-Morton was conspicuous in one of the boxes at the games Sunday and Monday. This talented actress is to spend the summer in St. Louis.

BOOKER WASHINGTON PAY
Four Shows Necessary to Entertain Big Crowd Monday
It took four shows to entertain the continuous stream of patrons who came to get their pay envelope at the Booker Washington Monday night and then many turned back because of the jam. So Mr. Turpin has decided to make Thursdays as well as Mondays Pay Day.
"Chicken Reel" Beaman opens the show with the best line of original jokes heard here in a long time. He sings a parody on "Balling the Jack," puts over a song against the parkway and does some dancing that goes big. Frankie Barton and her Perriots present a lively act of song, dance and comedy. The combination of boxing and dancing by the three boys is well executed. A dance-contest closes the act.
Mme. Cecil Watts, a real song bird of the prima donna class, possesses an excellent soprano voice, and renders three numbers in delightful style. She is a sister of Mme. Francis E. Motin, of this city and is stopping with her at 4120 West Belle.
The Griffin Sisters close the show with an act replete with comedy, absurdity and tuneful melody. They display a wealth of dazzling costumes and cut up many unexpected capers that keep the audience in a continuous uproar.

Lady Attendant. Weak Mediums Developed.
NOTE—Those calling for perilous torture and frivolous persons are only wasting time calling on Prof. Gladstone.
Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the renowned psychic schools of Egypt, India and the world. He is a man of knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm which separates the human body from the fitting soul—and that which is to be told. The separated are brought to 6128 EASTON AVENUE JUST 30 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY Office hours: Daily 10 a. m. to 8 p. m. and Saturday to 7 p. m. Low Fee, $6c.
A
gether, foes are made friends, lost property is recovered, the mist is brushed away from business ventures, the hand is so guided that failures are averted, the earth's surface is explored, its treasure into bake to his mysterious perceptive taste, while he gives names, dates, facts and figures to the revelations he makes to him. He is surely a man of the passing time.
GLADSTONE is not a clairvain from choice, but because fate has so decreed it. His ancestors were powerful mediums and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generation to generation. So he has received the rich inheritance together with the competence and priceless experience of generations. His present troubles may be or what your past experience has been, you will save time and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone.
NOTE.—Gladstone answers no letters.
If you cannot call in person, do not write,
as his time is fully occupied with his
personal calls.
