ALL JOKE.

A young man went into Princes sa-
loon Friday evening, and called for a
glass of liquor. 1t was handed to him
and then he dropped a little powdered
magnesia in it from a paper, swallowed
the whole deliberately, and placing the
glass down looked the attentive Prince
in the eye, and said I" 1 have poisoned
myself" "What?" screamed the horri-
fed saloon-keeper. 81 have poisoned
myself II repeated the young man in a
tragic tone. In an instant Mr.. Prince
had bounded to his side ; in the next
instant he had him on the floor, and a
man sent for a doctor. The young man
struggled to release himself, and pro-
tested hat it wa all a joke. Mr.. Prince
was too old and too educated q man to
be deluded by such articles. Imme-
diate remedies were called for. Some
one suggested a raw egg, and one was
procured, and there being no time to
bother with a glass, and the victim to
the poison writhing to n degree that
made holding him an almost impossible
undertaking, it was administered in the
shell, and so adroitly broken that two
thirds of it went into his shirt bosom.
A bottle of sweet oil was next emptied
into him, his head was briskly rubbed,
hot cloths applied to his chest, and his
back warmed with abilliard cue. Then
DR.. Miles arrived, took in the situation
at a glance, applied a stomach pump,
and within five minutes the facetious-
ness and other things in that young
man were extracted. On getting to his
feet he instinctively felt in his hip
pocket for his handkerchief, and APP
peared to be very much surprised to
find it there. He left the saloon VOW
ing vengeance against Mr.. Prince and
his anxious and earnest helpers. But
the story was too much for him the
next day, and he quietly disappeared
from town. -Dan6ury Neacs.
