| Page 20 of 70. Prophecy on page 19 reads, "Mr. Holmes has chosen a life of deception. His large amount of knowledge gives him insight in to the mysteries of life and he is now making practical application of his art by following the somewhat doubtful calling of a professional magician. His great specialty is in making farmers believe that mush and milk is an appetizer for their stock and that corn can hear on account of its ears and that potatoes can see on account of their eyes." |
