"I can think of older folks who are not keen about the dentist's chair.” “Yes, but that's different,” Bobby replied. “Nobody gives ‘em any thing for going. You can bet I told the gang that if I was them I bet I'd go quick enough. Now, there's Stubby, who liver over on Aunt Mary’s steéet. He's got a new brother.” - “I suppose he had to take him to the dentist, is that it?” “Him?” sniffed Bobby. “gee, I should say not! What do you think? He ain’t got any teeth at all, not one!

ODD iINCIDENTS HISTORY IN AMERICAN THE ROCHESTER KNOCKING It scems almost incredible that as recently as the middle of the past cen- tury superstition should have still held its sway for corsiderable time. and among people of known intelli- gence, as was th ase with what is known in history as the Rochester Knockings. In the early winter family of John D. C himself, his wife and of 1843 the consisting of wo daughters, ario county, were startled by nightly New York, rappings on the floor of the bed room | of the youngest child. That she made the raps with her toe admits of no dO?bL Using the letters of the alpha bef, a sort of communication was es- tablished ages of members of the family were asked and correctly giv- en, and the announcement made that the rapper was the spirit of a mur- dered peddler. From Hydeville the two girls went to reside with a married sister at Rochester. Thither the rapper follow- ed and there, in the summer of 1819 modern spiritualism was founded. A public exhibition was given in a hall by the sisters, communication was held and with the spirits of en and the fame of the Roct ings spread over the Many came to see, were formed, and new media, who could induce spirits to move sofas, ta- bles and chairs, ring bells and pla. mus instruments, were discovered In 1850 the Cox sisters had became such adepts that they made bold to move to New York city and gave ex- hibitions in a house on a corner of Eighth avenue and Ninteenth street, and later in Barnum'’s hotel. Crowds visited the sisters. Emi- nent men, Cooper, the novelist; Ban-| croft, the historian, Bryant, Dr. Hawkes, Dr. Fran many more, spectators. The Rochester Knockings now be- came gven mrce a matter of popular interest than mesmerism had been ten years before. kirs hastened to .practice it; media appeared by scores, spirit circles increased and multiplied and new phenomena were discovered. A minister at Stratford in Connecticut wrote that he was disturbed by knock- ings of which no one could is Griswold and | among the liscover | the cause, but which he attributed to bad spirits and the d of Satan. At Syracuse a ho >cupied by a man and wife, son r daught- ers was fairly infec Communications were dead, thoughts of persons far aw were disclosed, guitars and pianos were played, and tables, chairs and other articles moved -about the room of their own accord. Tales such as this served but to ex cit the credulous and = sup tious and the craze spread s orapidly that in 1852, conventions of spiritualis! were held in Cleveland, Boston ‘Worcester. The “Spiritul Telegraph.” a weekly journal wa founded in New York to spread the faith, and the| “Anthropologist,” a jor al of the Me merists at Milwaukee, came out strongly for spiritualism. Spiritnalism now invaded the edito- rial office and one rapper offered to write spiritual communications fore- telling the lection of Pierce. Another rapped out the opinion of Calhoun on the Isthmian canal. Even the pulpit did not escape. A Wisconsin news- paper declared that divines were de- livering sermons of spirit origin in which it was announced that the Mil- lenium was at hand, that baptism was wrong, and that water not wine, should be used at the Sacrament. The Cox sisters, meantime, were traveling over the country. At Cin- cinpati, where large audiences met them, Madame Pulasky of Kossuth's suit had an interview and was much impressed by correct answers in the Hungarian language. At St. Louis they appear, it was announced, with con- sent of the spirits. On the feeble-minded the effect of spiritualism was much the same as Millerism had been. Hundreds went crazy. An Ohio editor saw in the lu- natic asylum at Columbus twenty persons whose insanity was directly traced to spiritualism. Neglect of business neglect of fam- ily, scouting of ~Christianity spiritual wireism, were some of the evil ef- fects of the new craze. So bad did the craze become in the East that in 1853 the Legislature: of Massachusetts re- commended its committee on education to consider whether legislation was needed to suppress the imposture of spiritualism, and if so to report what should be done. t was many years be- fore the fallacy of the whole thing became thoroughly rooted out. irits. held with the and the poet,|i LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hard Times After All Wars Mr. Editor: Many people are grumbl- ing about hard times which are prett, sure to follow all wars. There are thre values to maney, standard, par and intrinsic. There seems to be no stand- ard value in this country, yet how can any manufacturing company know how to venture into doing a large business until the heads of the government get things regulated, which will come. Dem- ocrats (should not . criticize by saying what an awful condition they are in at Washington. Who got us into such a condition In 1864-65 at ome time a standard dollar was intrinsically worth 38 cents. Today there is an awful variation in prices. Why so? Because financiaily we are not straightened out from the effects of the war. Have patience, broth- er democrats, and give them time at Washington and all will be straightened out. . With so many young men at war and with this contry supplying Europe with clothing and provisions the tendency is to cause stagnation in this country. Farmers should not kick as they are doing better than many classes. They are getting nearly the same for their products as at the time of the—war. All we can do is to wait and hope for better times and not keep up a con- tant growl about political parties as some are doing in the town. A friend of all Ledyard, Conn., Sept. 6, 192r. OBSERVER. |READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Cepyrighted 1921 The Crown of Justice The crown of justice here referred to is not a figuration reward of a virtue. It is the possession of certain mental faculties on which the sense of justice founded. It's a bump in a certain location on what is known as the crown of the head. Suppose you put a No. 2 hat on a No. 7 head, or a rather large cup, or a small bowl. Suppose you placed it squarely on top of the head, and then shoved it backward to a slight tilt. Now observe the head from the side, and note where the middle of jthe rim of the crown comes. That's where the bump of justice, or as it is sometimes led, conscientiouness is located. In making a study of a stranger it is, of course advisable to do all this mentally to save hih embarrassment. & ‘When the head is well developed at the point indicated, you can make up your mind that the person is conscien- tious. But don’t assume that this persen would carefully refrain from all ae- tions which your yourself would con- sider dishonorable, unfair or inconsid- erate. A person can be conscientious only in the light of his understanding his training and his experience, and before you can forecast with any great | accuracy what he will do under given ircumstances. you must find eut something of his principals. What the bump indicates is that he has them. People whose heads are poorly devel- oped at this spot are those who are not bothered greatly with principles though very often they have a geod substitute in a keen sense of self re- spect which keeps them from doing many things which others avoid as a matter of principle.

Gleaned from Foreign Ex- €s. Practical questions have taken a very practical shape at the conference, and all the premiers came to London fired with the same idea as that help by.Mr. Lloyd George, that friendship with America should be the settled policy of the empire, and that this in turn ought to rest upon good relations be- tween America and Japan, and that these together would pave the way to world peace. The first step at any rate has been taken; the representa- tives of the empire stand together “as one.” Cheaper Bread.—Bread ought to be cheaper as a result of a decision taken by the London Fleur Millers' Associa- tion. They decided that the price of all English straight run flour will be 58s. fd., delivered jn bakers’ shops in the London area. This is a reduction of no less than 5s, 6d. per sack. In June the price was 71§, and it has been steadily falling ever since. It has been officially stated that a differ- ence of 8s. 6d. per sack is equivalent to a 1d. per loaf. Bread ought, there- fore, from today to be 1 1-2d. per loaf cheaper. The price of bread must fall.
