DOWIE. THE HUMAN ROCKET. Old man Dowie played his bluff to the last. No one. could successfully dispute his claim that he was really the reincarnated Elijah. He had magnetic power enough to heal some diseases in some persons ; he knew that a sucker was born somewhere every minute, and that a good bluff would catch a fair ratio of them. He did a thriving business so long as his physical strength held out. He had enough, of the raven feeding in his other carnation ; in this life he preferred the solid dollars. At one time he had $5,000,000 that he had gathered from his dupes, and carried things with a high hand until his strength began to fail and those near him wanted dividends. He was like that animal that has either to climb or crawl. While he could climb, he ws .all right j whenhe began to crawl, he -was a sorry spectacle.
