TWELVE SEE VISION
OF THE VIRGIN MARY
Ry tXt"! T.ca«*'l Wlf*
OAKLAND, April 26 Strange n*
the miraculous apparitions of tra
dition or history, and seemingly
vested with religion* spirituality,
was a vision of the Virgin Mary,
which appeared In the chamber* of
the La very home. 1689 si . here,
while the body of Robert ljivery. 70,
former wharf worker "f San Fran
cisco, rested In a casket awaiting
the laat riles.
Twelve persons witnessed the
mystic phenomenon.
So ureal was the Interest In the
vision thai Prof <J M St ration, the
noted psychologist of the Univer
sity of California, was consulted.
"It Is possible, and I am sorry that
I did not have the opportunity of
seeing It." Prof. Strntton said
"Such visions are possible and have
appeared on various occasions."
Among the member* of the family
who snw the vision were Albert
Hart. Thomas Mediums and wif.-,
Holand ikiwnes and wife, Mrs. W
F liiii In Robert Duu nes, Maude
Downs and Thomas McUlnnls..
Miss Susie I.avery had entered
the room vrliere her father's body
lay. .. ,
•| wanted to be alorm with him,
Miss I,»very said. I was bending
over the casket, hoping that he
would send us some message. As
1 looked Into his face, I ssld:
'Father, you will tend me a me*
sngt l . won't* you**' And thi*n. I
don't know what strange power It
was. but something Impelled me to
turn my face toward the wall of
the other room.
"I saw the vision there It was.

thing I ever saw. I expected It to
talk, It looked ao real. Why, you

The vision remained for several i

The Advantage
of Specializing
We have here in Seattle stores that specialize
on certain articles of general demand. Martin's,
in the Empress Theatre building, is a good exam
ple of the growth of a store specializing exclusive
ly in Gloves, Hosiery and Umbrellas. This con
centration of energy and thought on two or three
articles has produced several good results. For
instance, employes of an establishment of this
kind get better acquainted with their stock, be
cause their attention is constantly on two or three
articles, and not on the thousand and one tilings
carricd in a general store. You will surely agree
that it is much more pleasant to deal with a sales
lady who knows "what she is talking about," rela
tive to her goods, than one who does not.
At Martin's this specializing on Gloves, Hosiery
and Umbrellas naturally causes purchases in these
to be very heavy, and reduces their selling
price.
The general public gets the benefit of Martin's
successful buying and secures the BEST
GLOVES, HOSIERY AND UMBRELLAS at the
LOWEST PRICES.

"Mut you have learned that there
is always a price, and a heavy one
haven't you, and that It has to be
paid mostly by the women?" sho
was asked.
