‘WOMAN®S PAGE." Psychic Adventures of Noted Men and Women Stead, the Great Editor, and His Premonitions, BY J. P. GLASS. AID STEAD, “YOU NEED NOT DISCUSS THEM WITH ME.” ‘The premonitions of William T. Stead, | the great English editor, regarding the | advancement of his career have been noted with greater detail than is usual | in such cases. Himself interested in| psychic phenomena, and diligent in the | collection of “ghost” stories, he devoted himself to recording the cases with| Journalistic completeness. He was editor of the Northern| Echo, at Darlington, an influential po- | sition, wri paid him well and in which he was fiee to express his own | opinions, when tne first premonition | came. He gave voice to it When he ac- | cidentally encountered a journalistic | friend while proceeding from Darling- | ton Station to the office of the North- ern Echo on New Year day 1880. “Happy New Year!” he greeted the friend, and then, as casually as possi- ble, he added: “By the way, this is the last New Year day I shall ever spend in Darlington. I shall leave the North- ern Echo this year.” ‘The other, looking amazed, asked, “And where are you going?" | “To London,” said Stead, “for it is| the only place which could tempt me | from my present position.” “But,” pursued the other, “what pa- per are you going to?” “I have no idea in the world. Neither do I know a single London paper which ‘would offer me a position of any kind, let alone one on which I could have any | liberty of utterance. I see no opening anywhere; but I know for certain that | before the year is out I shall be on the | staff of a London paper.” “This is superstitition,” said his| friend. “With a wife and family, I hope you will do nothing rashly.” Stead assured him. He would not seek | any position, he explained, for it would | come to him. Shortly after this Stead signed a new | contract with the Northern Echo. Yet he felt that he would never be called | on to carry it out. Of all the papers in London none was #0 exactly opposite to the principles on ‘Wwhich he conducted the Northern Echo as the Pall Mall Gazette. Yet, a few! months later, Mr. Stead was called to| be its assistant editor. i A totally unforeseen chain of eir-| cumstances brought this about. George Smith, owner of the Pall Mall Gazette, turned it over to his son-in-law, Henry ‘Yates Thompson. The latter decided on a change of editors and thereupon called in John Morley (later Lord Morley) as editor and Mr. Stead as assistant editor, the proprietor of the Darlington Echo | generously agreeing to release him. The second premonition also had to| BEDTIME STORIES Greedy Selfishness. Naught so selfish is as sreed; Careless of another's need —Old Mother Nature. ‘These were busy days under and in the beechnut trees. Yes, indeed, these were busy days. All the squirrel fam- including Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, Rusty ths Fox Squirrel, Chat- terer the Red Squirrel, Striped Chip- munk, Impy the black Chipmunk and Timmy the Flying Squirrel, were there. ‘The latter came after dark; but all the others, with their mates, were on hand with the coming of daylight and re- mained until the Black Shadows came creeping out. Buster Bear got around do with matters of which there could not possibly be any advance knowledge, Mr. Stead recounts that while he was on a vacation in the Isle of Wight with his wife they were climbing St. Cath- erine’s Point in a drizzling rain when a voice within him said distinctly, “You will have to look sharp and make ready, because by the 16th of March next year you will have sole charge of the Pall Mall Gazette.” Now there had not been the slightest intimation that Mr. Morley, who was then in full charge, would leave the pa- er. The inference that Stead drew was that his superior was going to die. He told Mrs. Stead of his premoni- tion. " said she. “He is not “Nonsen! | going to die: he is going to get into Parliament; that is what is going to happen.” Stead was relieved at this thought. “But whatever happens,” he said, “one thing is certain to me and that is that I shall have charge of the Pall Mall Gazette next year. I am so convinced of that, that when I return to London I shall make all my plans on the basis of that certainty.” That no one might discount his pre- monition, Stead described it fully to the owner, Mr. Thompson, to Mr. Milner, later Lord Milner, and to Mr. Morley himself when he went back to his office. They scoffed at the idea, particularly Mr. Morley. ‘Two months later the last mentioned came to consult Stead regarding some office changes, asking him if he would have any objection to them. “Excuse me, Mr. Morley,” said Stead, “when_do these new arrangements go |into effect?” “In May, I think” was the reply. “Well, then,” said Stead, “you need not discuss them with me. I shall have sole charge of the Pall Mall Gazette before that time and you will be in Parliament.” Morley wished to discuss the matter further, but Stead declined and his chief went away rather miffed. A month later Mr, Ashton Dilke sickened and diéd. Mr. Morley was elected' to his place in Parliament. Dur- ing his campaign others had doubts if he_would win, but not Stead. Immediately Mr. Morley was elected, control of the Gazette was d over to Mr. Stead, almost entirely, although Mr. Thompson nominally assumed the title of editor in chief. In connection with this second pre- monition it should be stated that until Ashton Dilke's death Mr. Stead did not know of his illness. (Copyrisht, 1930 By Thornton W. Burgess. Chipmunk. “And all the Green Forest knows it. Never in all my life have I seen any one as selfish as you and Happy Jack. If you had your way, .the rest of us would starve and you would have so much you wouldn’t know what to do with it. But as long as there are nuts here, I'll have my share and don't you forget it!” He tucked another brown nut jnto one of his cheek pockets as he spoke. ‘This so angered Chatterer that he made a rush at Strired Chipmunk and then chased him for some distance. Meanwhile, Impy the black Chipmunk hastily stuffed his pockets in his cheeks with a lot of little brown nuts that Chat_ terer had found just before he drove Striped Chipmunk away. By the time he returned, Impy had disappeared. 8o, of course, had the little brown nuts. Such a rage as Chatterer flew into then! He shrieked “Thief!” at everybody in sight and no one paid the least atten- tion to him. Meanwhile, Impy had hur- ried home to empty his pockets. He told little Mrs. Impy, who was there ahead of him, all about Chatterer. “Selfish greed doesn't pay,” sald she, nodding her head sagely. (Copyright, 1930.) Hot Milk Cake.

LOST AND FOUND. Neither, Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Identification, Bome present-day psychologists ex- pound the curious theory that most of us would like to be something other than what we are. Is it possible? Certainly. Of .course, you meet, sec or read about persons whom you admire. Admiration is the beginning of identification. Then identification gradually splits up into two parts—what you would like to be, and what you would like to pos- sess. Both lead dirertly to imitation— the lowest plane of individuality. Imitation and identification are rea- sons for cottages by the sea, yachts, window displays and the latest model in automobiles. You can explain out- breaks of mob-mindedness the same way. Maybe you have noticed that most housewives are continually shifting the furniture from one place to another. ‘They are trying to find something new in the old; they are trying to identify what isn't with what ought to be, Maybe you have noticed that some per- sons boast of community pride, They are trying to make an ynimportant place look like something important. Maybe you have now and then had some flights of imagination which you dared not admit as your own., Maybe you have gone to a new city for the first time and “reflected” that you had been there before. If so, you have been txerclclh% that mental process known as identification. You were identifying your wishes with realitles. (Copyright, 1930.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Toys Down Register.

VAN CLEFT COOPER. Starting Out. Backgammon was one of the prinei- pal diversions of our grandparents, but in recent years has fallen into disuse. ‘The modern feature of doubling and | its adaptation to the use of more than | two players have given it the “kicl required in present-day amusements, and it now aelims on the way to its old- time popularity. It is played on a board having raised sides and divided by a partition called “the bar.” On each side of the bar are two “ta- bles,” each consisting of six “points” BLACK'S INNER TABLE of alternate colors. Fifteen white and 15 black checkers and & set or two of dice complete the equipment for this slluring game. The table to White's right is known as White's inner table, that to his left | as White's outer table. Opposite are Black's inner table and Black’s outer table. At the start the board is set up as shown in diagram 1. ‘The object is to move all one's men into one’s own inner or home table and then throw or “bear” them off the board. Fach player throws one die to de- termine which shall move first. High wins—in case of a tie they throw again —and takes his own and his oppo- nent's throw for his first move. Some permit the leader to cast again for his first move. The turn then alternates throughout the game. The winner has the first throw for the next gai except in the case of | or terms will be explained both players throw again. The men move on the points and progress from opponent’s inner table through his outer table, then through player's outer table into player’s inner | table, movc. being governed by the| number thrown. Men already part way | home continue from where they are. In making & move one man may be | moved twice, first the number shown | on one die and then that on the| other, or two men may be moved. one for each die. The two numbers thrown may not be totaled and one man moved the entire distance without stopping. Each number thrown must be played separately. If doublets are thrown, double the number of moves are made. A throw of double five would allow one man to | move four fives, two men two fives | each, four men five points each, or any | other combination, provided each move | of five points is made individually.

SINATOR THOMAS WALSH of Mon- tana must have chuckled silently when he read in the papers that Louis Cramton of Michigan had been defeated in his effort to keep his seat In the House. Senator Walsh is having the political battle of his life to /1 hold his seat in the |/ reason probably he | is able to T e ate the situation all |k the more. Walsh and Cram- ton got mixed up in a feud at the €~ close of the last”, Congress. The latter, as ~y chairman of the Subcommltlm appropriations t,g:gg;’g. succeeded in getting through that body an amendment to the In- terior appropriations bill that construc- tion of a road through the Glacier Na« tional Park in Montana be held up un. til private owners either sell their prop: erty or permit the Government to con- demn it. ‘Walsh owns a Summer home in this area. What Walsh objected to—and he fought with the tenacity of a bulldog on the floor of the Senate—was that’ Cramton consulted neither him nor Senator Wheeler, his colleague, about the thing. ‘The Michigander is a recognized au- thority on the question of parks. H has visited most of them, has mad careful study of their needs, and ha. come to the front in the House when- even this question was up for discussion. Added to this, Cramton is a member of that powerful group in the House which guides the expenditure of public money, and {s jealous of the House's right in such matters. Stocky, robust and bespectacled, he fights to the last ditch when aroused. “We should get rid of the private holdings in our national parks,” said Cramton, after Walsh had succeeded in getting an amendment through the Senate staying the power of condemna- tlon of such property, “as soon ds we can and secure the national parks for the people of the Nation. “Senator Walsh knows that in own- ership of a _home in the Glacler Na- tional Park he has a certain area that }l"hll and the rest of us have what is eft.” Oramton remarked further that there |have been parks where it was wanted to establish automobile camps for John |Jones and his flivver, and in order to | do so the land had to be bought. 1.1 have thought sometimes, “ihat all we own is the scenery, and that all the land (in parks) was in pri- vate ownership.” The battle went on merrily for quite a while. Conference aftef conference between House and Senate was neces- eary before final agreement was reached. It was finally agreed that the Govern- ment would have authority to condemn any land within any of the parks, ex- cept thots used exclusively for residence or religious purposes This was by no means to the liking of Walsh, and he did not hesitate to say s0.
