gwmorous Jjcpartiaent. No Use For Lynn.?Among the Rhodes scholarships youths who sailed on the Ivemla for Oxford In September, Raul Nixon of Wesleyan, was conspicuous, says the Baltimore Herald. It was Mr. Nixon who conceived and carried out that idea that all those Intelligent young men should depart for ' the other side in the same boat. Some reporters on the day he sailed, tried to get from Nixon a voluminous interview. He would not talk. They endeavored to persuade the young man to give at length his views on the wisdom of the Cecil Rhodes scholarships. He would not talk however. "I don't want to bore you and the public," he said, smiling. "I don't want to put myself In the position of the lecturer whom Oliver Wendel Holmes rebuked. "This lecturer was dry?as dry as I would be if I should attempt to criticise the Rhodes will. He called on Dr. Holmes one day and the two men, knowing' one another well, talked together Jocularly. " 'Well, said the humorist, 'what are you doing now?' " 'Lecturing,' said the lecturer. "'Still lecturing, eh?' " 'Yes, I hold forth at Lynn tonight.' " 'I'm glad of it,' said Dr. Holmes. 'I never did like those Lynn people.'" To Make Hens Lay.?The late John Kernel), the Irish comedian, used to like to tell of an experience in amateur farming that he had In his youth. "One summer," he would say, "I lived in the coun-iry, and since there was a garden to my cottage, I decided that I would keep chickens. I brought a cock and a half dozen hens, but I got no eggs. The chickens were vigorous and healthy, but my omelets each morning came from the village store. "To remedy this state of affairs I answered an advertisement in an agricultural magazine. This advertisement said that for two dollars an infallible way to make hens lay would be communicated. I forwarded the two dollars, and in due course received the advertiser's reply. It was a printed slip that read: " 'To make hens lay, tie a stout string around the hen's body, lay the bird on her side on a board and fasten the string underneath. If it is thought desirable, a pillow may be placed under the hen's head.""?Northwestern Agriculturist. How to Pass Hattbrab.?The late Senator Vest of Missouri was fond of telling a story regarding a friend of his who was In terrible dread of the ordeal Involved in passing Cape Hatteras, says the New York Herald. This man was a confirmed victim of seasickness. and while he made many trips on the ocean, he always looked with fear to that period of time when the vessel would be passing the tumultuous sea In and around Hatteras. Returning from one of his trips, he announced with Joy a cure for the dreaded Hatter&s period. "What is It?" asked a friend. "Why," was the reply, "when we got within twenty miles of Hatteras I ordered up three quart bottles of champagne and sat lr. my stateroom and drank them one after another." What was the efTect of that?" asked the friend. "The effect?" replied the other In astonishment "Why, there was no effect When I came to we had passed Hatteras." A Question op Knowledge.?Two men In Kansas City were having a heated argument concerning the location of a certain theatre in New York city, says the Chicago Record-Herald. The one Insisted that the house stood on lower Broadway, while the other was equally confident that it was uptown. Finally the first man becoming angry, exclaimed: "Perhaps you think you know more about New York than I do? How often have you been therer The vanquished one was silent for a moment. Presently he spoke with o omlla An Klo foAA* "Haw lrvr? c dlrl you stay In New York on each of the five visits you made?" The other scratched his head a moment before replying and said: "Well, each time I was there for two or three days. How long did you stay on the only visit you made?" "Seventeen years," was the calm reply. That ended the conversation. "When my wife was a little girl," said the guest to his host, "she swallowed a needle. A few days ago, while seated at table, she uttered a sharp cry and complained of a. pain in her foot. So intense was her suffering that a physician had to be called in. He made an incision and extract?" "The needle?" quickly added another guest. "Yes," answered the gentleman who had related the incident, annoyed because of the interruption. "When I was a boy," responded the host, "I ran a sliver of wood into my foot. At the time I thought I had removed it entirely. One morning, a year ago, I felt a dull pain back of my ear. I put my hand to my head, and there found?" "The sliver of wood?" again interrupted the unmannerly guest. "No," retorted the host, "I found back of my ear a lead pencil." .Father and Son.?Representative Richardson of Tennessee tells of a campaign conducted by Gov. "Bob" Taylor in that State. Meeting for the first time a delegate from one of the eastern counties to the state convention, Mr. Taylor said: "I am glad to meet you, sir. I have known your father for a good many years, but this Is the first time I have had the pleasure of seeing you. I see, sir, that the son is a better looking man than the father." "Oh, come, governor," replied the delegate, banteringly, "you needn't try to jolly me that way, for I'm for Barksdale all right even If the old man Is for you." Gov. Taylor smiled in a reflective way. "My dear, sir," he added, "I merely said I found you a better looking man than your father. I did not say you had as much sense."?Harper's Weekly. iHisitllatifous grading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. Nsws aid Comment Clipped From Neighboring Exchanges. CHESTER.

"About half the actions on the criminal dockets of the Territorial courts are whisky cases," said Ben F. White of Holdenville, I. T. "If an attorney likes to defend such cases he will And lots of work. "So earnest is the government In Its efforts to make the Indian ride in th? water wagon that it provides a penitentiary penalty for introducing, selling, giving away or otherwise disposing of the contraband. If you're driving with a companion on a frosty morning you may take a nip from your nerve reserve, but if you pass it to your seat mate you are amenable to the Jaw. "Joking? Not a bit of it. In my capacity as lawyer I have been retained to defend three young men at next month's assizes for that identical offense. The charge is that a comrade tendered his flask, and they fell. That comes under the classification of giving away. The white man must be saved along with the Indian. "A few weeks back a tall, redcheeked fellow, wearing a drab ulster, boarded the Katy train's smoker, bound for Muscogee. I was in the next coach to the smoker, also bound for Muscogee. We were then in Kansas. "The tall man carried a basket, well covered, and containing something that clinked. His eyes beamed goodnaturedly and hospitality sparkled in every line of his sunset-tinted face. "He deposited his basket and meandered through the cars. When he met a man who looked resentful at the sun-baked prairies he sought to cheer him. " 'Fine day, stranger, but a little dry. Goin' Into the territory?* "'What's it to you?' the dusty traveler asked. " 'Oh, nothing?not a thing on earth?only I'?a bottle of brownish tinge carelessly worked its neck out of the ulster?'I'm goin' down the line a bit. an' I thoueht as it was some warm an' dry an' so long's you can't get nothin' in the Territory may be?' "The passenger suddenly woke up and became interested. "What's the tariff?' he asked. "*Just a dollar?a good half pint? Kentucky goods, guaranteed?but, whatever you do, don't open it right here?spotter Just across yonder? there, that's all right?thanks, very much. I'll trust your honor as a gentleman till?you know!' "He sold 20 bottles at a dollar apiece, and when he left the train at Muscogee he lit into the loving embrace of three deputy United States marshals. The spotter had wired ahead. If an officer of the Territory is keener on the scent of any one thing more than another it's a boot-legger. "A pair of hands grabbed the dealer's basket and another pair explored the cavernous pockets of the long ulster. There were a few packages left. '"Got you this time, old man!' exclaimed the leader. "'Got me! What've I been doln'?' '"I don't know; the judge'U find out.' " 'But, say!' " 'Say what?' " 'Have one on me.' "The vender reached for one of his bottles, pulled the cork out and passed it to the marshal, who had been doing the talking. The officer, nothing loath to sample the goods in the interest of law and order, opened the flask and started a stream on an investigating course. But not for long. The deputy threw the bottle savagely against a wall. " 'What you call that miserable stuff?' he cried. " 'Stuff! Why, it's coffee?genuine Mocha; cost 30 cents a pound.' "The marshal let him go, but his customers are still looking for him."? Macon, Mo., Cor. New York Sun. Fishing for License. A good natured German located in a certain Pennsylvania town a few years ago, and apparently had no definite business, says the New York Tribune. Every morning regularly he would go to the creek that ran through the town and flsh for black bass. The first mess that he caught was given to the minister of the village church. Some one, seeing the German on the bank, said to him: "What are you doing?" "Oh," he remarked, "I'm fishing for a license." The following day six fine trout were delivered at the home of the school teacher. The day after that the leading banker received a supply of flsh; and so It went for nearly a year. He caught fish every day, and as regularly turned them over to the leading citizens. When the spring term of court came around, he put In an application for a liquor license. Under the rules of that court it was necessary for twenty citizens to sign a protest to kill an application for a license. The protest was taken around; but to the amazement of the messenger he could get no signers. The clergyman was much opposed to the proposed license, but could not find It In his heart to attach his name to the paper. When the court announced its decision, the German received a license and he blandly) remarked: "I've been flshln' for a license. I j got it." PREDICTIONS OF FAKIR8. Historical Incidences of Their Proving Correct. All London and Blackpool have been laughing at the exposure of palmistry, its professors and dupes, and it needs, therefore, no little courage to say that the "science" cannot be so transparently preposterous as the evidence of the detectives would suggest. If the shots made by the palmists were usually so wide of the mark as their predictions to the detectives their business would long since have gone out of itself, like an ill-smelling farthing dip. In my own experience I have known only two people who consulted palmists, and In one case the answers as regards the past, and In the other those as regards the future, were circumstantially correct In the minutest details. One of the hardest-headed Scotsmen and one of the most saga clous and successful editors In all London told me that a palmist whom he had consulted that very day for a freak recalled his whole past life to him minutely and correctly. In the other case the palmist was circumstantially and minutely correct about the future o( a girl, to whom she told five years before the events predicted, when, where and how she would meet her future husband, when and where she should become engaged to him, and the very date to a week of her marriage. Carlyle has justly gibbeted C&gllostro as the arch quack of a century rich in such rascals; but no one would infer from his scathing essay on Beppo Balsa mo that his dupes had anything whatever to say for themselves. But take Cagliostro's English dupes alone ?themselves, by the way, scoundrels, for, as Carlyle says, and Bacon before him, quacks and dupes are made of the self-made stuff? take these English swindlers, "Lord" Scot & Co., and see how strange was the Justification of their belief In the arch Impostor's supernatural powers. "Lord" Scot asked Cagliostro to predict for him the winning number of the next lottery to be drawn on November 6, and the prophet named No. 20, which won. Encouraged by this success, Cagliostro predicted 26 as the winning number of the next drawing, and 65 and 67 for those of November 18, all of which drew prizes. Cagliostro was so elated by this series of successes that he resolved henceforth to try his own luck at the lotteries, keeping to himself his foreknowledge of the winning numbers. He resisted accordingly all the entreaties of "Lord" Scot and the rest of the gang to let them know the winning number of the next drawing. A disreputable member of the gang, a Miss Fry, however, prevailed on CaglioBtro's wife to Intercede for them with her husband, who was thus induced to name the number 8, which drew the largest prlxe?1,600 guineas? In the very next drawing. It never seems to have struck either Cagliostro himself, or this gang of sharpers, that the same apparently supernatural knowledge which divined those winning numbers ought to have seen through such swindlers, and to have foreseen the disasters in which they were to involve him. That the prosecuted palmists of Blackpool and London were no more able than Cagllostro to see through the men who consulted them only to contrive their ruin shakes all faith in their prophetical pretentions. Yet one palmist at least is recorded to have foretold his own fate as truly as that of his patrons. Acordlng to "Les Anecdotes de Florence, ou 1'Histolre Secrete de la Maison di Medicis," Antiochus Tibertus, long before death, uttered three extraordinary prophecies, one concerning his patron, another concerning his friend, and the third concerning himself?that his patron, Pandolpho di Malatesta, Prince of Rimini, should die a beggar, In exile, and in a hospital; that his friend, Gundo dl Bogni, one of the greatest captains of his time, SUUUIU uc ircauiiciuuoij aoo by the order of this tyrant, Malatesta, who should also put the prophet himself to death at the same time, and on the same unjust charge. When these predictions were delivered Malatesta was at height of his power, Guido of his fame, and Antiochus Tibertus of his prosperity, yet within a few years Guido was assassinated, Tibertus executed and Malatesta exiled, and doomed to die in exile, and in a hospital, deserted not by his friends only, but even by his children. The Austrian officer, Baron von Weigel, who served against the Turks In the war of 1788, gives the most thrilling account I have ever read of an escape from the enemy. He was warned three times In the most solemn tones by a gypsy palmist to beware August 20, months before that date, and the warning so impressed him that he was immeasurably relieved to find, when the fate day came, that, though it was the turn of his regiment to furnish a picket for the night, two other officers were down on the roster to go on duty before him. One of them, however, was taken suddenly ill, and when the other proceeded to mount his horse the usually gentle creature reared and threw him, breaking his leg. The Baron, therefore, had to go, not without a presentiment of certain death. He escaped it by a miracle, with eight saber wounds, and after a night of such horrors as even in the ferocious war (where tne Turns gave no quarter, but offered a ducat for every Austrian head brought in) must have been unprecedented. Some time after his recovery from his wounds the gypsy was condemned to be hanged as a Turkish spy, and the Baron, on the eve of her execution, asked for an explanation of her prediction, that August 20 would be for him a fatal day. She then confessed to him that, acting as a spy for both sides, she had made use of her prophecies, and her heavy bets on her prophecies, of the information thus obtained. In order to secure the fulfillment of her prediction with regard to the Baron she had Instigated the Turks to make an overwhelming night attack on his picket, and she had contrived that he should be the officer In command by disabling the two on the roster before him?the one by an overdose of drugged wine and the other by thrusting a piece of burning tinder up the nostrils of his horse. She had been at all this trouble because not only her reputation as a palmist, but also a big bet, depended upon the Baron's being killed on the day she had predicted for his death.?T. P.'s. Weekly.
