So he put on his evening togs with many forebodings, for he had grown stouter since he last had worn them. "Sure enough, when he got In the ballroom he backed against the wall and started making signals of distress. "What is it, judge?" asked his wife. "It's just as I told you," was the reply. "The trousers have ripped." "I've provided for just such a contingency," said his wife. "I have a needle and thread. There is a little dressing-room that's deserted right I'll fi* them for vou there." So the judge backed out sideways and into the little room. Here it was discovered that the damage was extensive and that it would be necessary' to remove the trousers. This was done, and no sooner done than the voices of ladies were heard. "Quick! get into this closet," said the judge's wife, opening a small door. The judge jumped in, just in time. But no sooner was the door closed on him than it shook with kicks and clamorous knocking, with the voice of the judge heard above the din, exclaiming: "Open this blanked door! I'm in the ballroom!" A Labor Question.?One of the most pronounced of the hobbies of Prof. R., of University, was the digestive and assimilative properties of various foodstuffs, says an exchange. He always gladly embraced an opportunity to inculcate some one of the lessons he had learned by dint of experiment, analysis and research. On one occasion the professor was out for a walk, and his way led him past a farm house. He observed the farmer feeding corn to a drove of squealing porkers. Here was an op portunity to impart a bit of valuable information. "What are you feeding to those hogs, my friend?" the professor asked. "Corn, professor," the grizzled old farmer, who knew the learned gentleman by sight, replied. "Are you feeding it wet or dry?" "Dry." "Don't you know if you feed it wet the hogs can digest it in one-half the time?" The farmer gave him a quizzical look. "Now, see here, professor," he said, "how much do you calculate a hog's time is worth?" A Feathered Quadruped.?The natural history class was in full swing, and the school teacher was manifesting his usual inquisitiveness. "Willie Rowlands," he called, "what do we call a creation with two legs?" "A biped, sir," said Willie. "Name one." "A man, sir." "Good," was the flattering comment. "Now, are there any feathered bipeds?" "Yes, sir; chickens and ostriches." "That's right. Now. what is a quadruped?" "A creature with four legs.'" "Quite correct. Now, can you tell me if there are any feathered quadrupeds?" "No?er?. yes, sir, I've just thought of one." "Have you? What is it?" "A feather bed, sir." The Helping Word.?There was a certain old woman who was a constant and devout attendant at church. Her husband died, and her pastor called upon her to comfort her in her sad bereavement. "Well, my good woman," the pastor remarked, "in your bitter trial I hope you have found some ray of comfort from the Scriptures." "Indeed I have, dominie," was the confident, though tearful reply. "That's grand, sister," exclaimed the parson sympathetically, "but tell me what passage of the word helped you most." "Grin and bear it." "Omit the Third Stanza."?Mabelle had been unusually quiet at church one Sunday. She was generally a very restless listener. Her mother, noticing It, asked her: "What made you so good during service this morning, daughter?" "I was thinking," answered the child, "why the people who write hymns always put something bad in them that the minister can't let the people sing. He always says "omit the third' or some other stanza, and he says it over twice, so they'll be sure not to sing it, so it must be something wicked."?New York Times.

During the literary "house-cleaning" which has been going on at Columbia university, in New York, ever since the university library was moved to Morningside Heights, there have been unearthed from time to time many treasures which have lain dust covered and forgotten for years. A recent discovery, however. Is, perhaps, the most interesting of the lot. This is a manual of the Kuklux Klan organization which terrorized the south ror so many years. The ritual, for such it is, is a yellowcovered pamphlet consisting of twenty-four pages, four by six inches In size, and the university librarians declare that it is the only one of its kind in existence. This contention and the authenticity of the manual are confirmed by a letter which was found pasted in the back of the book, written a dozen years ago by a woman in Nashville, Tenn. The letter states among other things that the ritual is a prescript of the Kuklux Klan, which escaped destruction when the 'ghouls' disbanded and was given me by an ex-member." The "ghouls," as appears in the pamphlet, were the members of the body politic of this strange organization. The letter proceeds to point out that the "ghouls" were under positive orders to burn and destroy every possible trace of their secret organization, and there is an intimation of summary ?tho r-asa nf that "ehoul" ICII XUUlIV/il HI Vi*V w who failed to obey this injunction. It therefore, appears that by the merest chance the manual at Columbia escaped the fate of the other evidences of the Kuklux Klan. ' The Name Not Printed. It is worthy of note that nowhere in the twenty-four pages is the name of the organization mentioned or referred to. In the few places where, under other circumstances, it would have been printed there is either the insertion of three asterisks or a blank space. The title page, for instance, which is interesting in itself, announces that the pamphlet is the "Revised and Amended Prescript of the Order of the ." A little below appears the motto, "Damnant Quod Non Intelligent." The problem thickens on the second page, where the ritual contains the provision that "This organization shall be styled and denominated the order of the * The officers were many in number and bore singular titles, not unlike those obtaining in many of the Greek letter fraternities in our colleges. In one place the dignitaries are hinted at as "mysterious." Above them all was the grand wizard of the empire, whose position entitled him to ten genii, whose functions are not revealed. The grand wizard is followed in rank by the grand dragon of the realm and hydra. This potentate was, strangely enough, allowed no satellites, as the grand titan of the dominion, the grand giant of the province and the grand cyclops of the den, all inferior dignitaries. were accorded six furies, four goblins and two night-hawks respectively. Other officers whose station was superior to that of an ordinary "ghoul" were a grand magi, a grand monk, a grand turk. a grand exchequer and a grand sentinel. One searches the pages of this strange ritual in vain to find the duties of the officers, their identity or when or by whom they were chosen. The purposes of the order were varied, as a whole praiseworthy and eloquently set forth. The ritual states: 'This is an institution of chivalry, humanity, mercy and patriotism, embodying in its genius and principles all that is chivalric in conduct, noble in sentiment, generous in manhood and patriotic in purpose, its peculiar objects being to protect the weak, the innocent and the defenceless from the indignities, wrongs and outrages of the lawless, the violent and the brutal; to relieve the injured and the oppressed; to succor the suffering, the unfortunate, and especially the widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers and to protect and defend the constitution of the United States and all laws passed in conformity thereto, and to protect the states and people thereof from all invasion from finy source whatsoever, and to aid in the execution of constitutional laws and to protect the people from unlawful seizure and from trial except by their peers in conformity with the laws of the land." The phrases which are in italics go far toward explaining many happenings in the southern states during the un settled and turbulent period of reconstruction, when the south was just beginning to get on its feet. They also serve to explain the menacing attitude of the Kuklux Klan toward the constitutionality of the introduction of martial law in the southern states, which caused so much unpleasantness, as well as the government's refusal for a time to permit southerners to suffer trial in the military courts. It should be remarked that throughout the book there is at least an ostensible respect for a central and organized government, as well as a reverence for and faithfulness to the constitution of the United States. But throughout all these declarations of fidelity and respect there can be plainly discerned a strong opposition on the part of the Kuklux Klan to the recognition of Federal administration or o-Ava?.?*wont lnrriolof inn r\f ivKhIdvov sort which could be construed as differing: with the principles of the order or expressing views at variance with those of the secret organization. A significant creed is stated in the following language: "We. the order of the reverently acknowledge the majesty and supremacy of the Divine Being, and recognize the goodness and providence of the same. And we recognize our relation to the United States government, the supremacy of the constitution, the constitutional laws thereof, and the union of the states thereunder." History of the Kuklux Klan. The Kuklux Klan, at the inception, was a club formed by some young men of Pulaski, Tenn., who had more time than they could employ. The purpose of the organizers was "to furnish diversion and amusement." The curious name was adopted because it was perfectly meaningless and threw an air of mystery around the club, which the members took care to increase. The "diversion and amusement" consisted In riding about the country, disguised by masks and sheets or in any curious manner their fancy suggested, playing practical jokes upon their friends. This was in 1866. The fame of the organization spread and branches were formed m otner places, mere ?viuj little or no connection between them and the parent organization. It still remained purposeless. About that time, however, the war being over, the south was in its "reformative period" and under military control. The Negroes were given the right to vote, but the whites who had fought against the Union were temporarily disfranchised by the policy of the government, influenced by the "Radicals" in the Republican party. The Negroes formed themselves into secret societies called "Loyal Leagues," under the guidance and direction of the "carpet-baggers," irresponsible white men f nm tho nr?rth urhn hnrwrt for Political preferment themselves through organizing the Negro vote. The effect upon the Negro mind with Its first taste of freedom was disastrous and even dangerous to the white men of the south. Then it was noticed that the Negro was afraid of the mysterious name of the Kuklux Klan, and could be held in check by his reverence for what he supposed to be the supernatural. The Klan had a purpose. At first it did good service in rendering the life and property of the white men safe, but the power it obtained was abused and excesses were committed. The last heard of the Kuklux Klan was on March 15, 1903, when a detective was murdered by masked men in Arkansas and eleven of the band were arrested, but they, like half ol the bands in the south, were not the real southern Kukluxers. The original band, it was afterwards learned had disbanded in 1869, when by order of the grand wizard of the empire, the "ghouls" of the various "dens' burned their manuals and destroyed all evidence of their existence.?Kansas City Star. INDIAN MAGIC. A Trick That Mystified Lord Lytton and One That Didn't Work. The following story of Indian magic was told me by the person to whom it was told by the late Lord Lytton. 1 give it in my own words, for the excellent, though humiliating reason thai I have mislaid the manuscript. When in India Lord Lytton often sought our conjurors, but never saw ? ' 4 A' ? ' no t Ur any DUl me usutu incite, such as UK mungo tree trick and the basket trick, The method in each case is known, or, at any events, plausible explanations have been given by Mr. Maskelyne and other experts. On one occasion Lord Lytton liked something in the looks of the conjuror who was performing in an open space before his house. After the ordinary exhibition, his lordship asked the magician if he could not do something more out of the common way. The man said he would try, and asked for a ring, which Lord Lytton gave him. He then requested an officer to take in either hand a handful of seeds; one sort was sesame, the name of the other sort my informant did not know. Holding these seeds and having the ring between his finger and thumb, the officer was to go to a well in the corner of the compound. He was to dispose of the seed in a way 1 think on the low wall round the well,, into the depth of which he was to throw the ring. All this was done, and then the magi asked Lord Lytton where he would like the ring to re-appear. He answered "in my despatch box," of which the key was attached to his watch chain, or, at all events, he had it with him on the spot The despatch box was brought out Lord Lytton opened it, and there was the ring. This trick would be easy if the British officer was a confederate of the juggler's, and if he possessed a duplicate key to the despatch box. In that case he would not throw the ring into the well, but would take it into the house, open the box and insert the ring. But this explanation involves enormous improbabilities, while it is unlikely, again, that the conjuror managed to insert a duplicate ring into the despatch box beforehand. Lord Lytton then asked the juggler if he could repeat the trick. He answered in the affirmative, and a lady lent another ring. Another officer took it, with the seeds as before, and dropped the ring into the well. The countenance of the juggler altered in the pause which followed. Something, he said, had gone wrong, and he seemed agitated. Turning to the second officer he said: "Did you arrange the seeds as I bade you?" "No," said the officer, "I thought that was nonsense, and I threw them away." The juggler seemed horrified. "Do you think I do this by myself?" he said, and Dackine un he deDarted. The well was carefully dragged, and at last the lady's ring was brought to the surface. That ring, at least, had certainly been in the water. But had the first ring been as faithfully consigned to the depths? Experts will be of various opinions as to that, yet the hypothesis of confederacy and of a duplicate key to the despatch box is difficult.?Longman's Magazine. The Lawyer's Ri:le.?"Ever since beginning the practice of law," said a Detroit lawyer, who begged that his name be suppressed, "I have made it a rule not to take cases in which I could not promise my client a percentage of gain over my fees. One day not long ago a business man came to me with a request to sue a debtor. I found It would cost far more than could be recovered and told him so. He was indignant and left vowing to get a lawyer to press the case regardless of expenses. "A few weeks later he came to me again. 'Well,' said he. 'I took your advice and saved $250 by it. Now I want you to take charge of all legal matters affecting the blank corporation. Your retainer will be $2,000 per year.' I took it. it is needless to say."?Detroit News. Ad Aoirpal Story For Little Folks ^Terrier's Sad Fate Willie Terrier was very proud when he had dressed himself up in his new clothes, and he was anxious to take a run downstairs and show himself off. "I wish my master would send me ra an errand," said he. But his master did not wish to send him anywhere, although there was a letter that had to be taken to the police station by some one. "I want Charlie Cur to take that letter," said the master as he stopped at the kennels and laid the letter on a box.

Could there be any more conclusive proof of the superiority of their goods? The overwhelming majority of farmers do not buy the Oliver Plow because they are cheaper than others, because they are not, or because they love the Oliver people, but because they know they are the "BEST ON EARTH."
