Of his head and tie it tight, and hairpin on
about five pounds of other hair and a big
bow of ribbon. Keep the front locks on
pins all night and let them tickle his eyes
all day ' pinch his waist into corset, and
give him gloves size too small, and
shoes ditto, and a hat that will not stay on
a

blind his eyes whenever he goes out to
walk, and he will know what woman's
dress is.'' MY! -. 49,

- IN New Orleans the other night, the
Rev. George Harper looked out of his
window upon startling scene. AyOung
man was passing. Two others sprang
out from doorway, drew long, glittering
knives, and fell upon him with. savage
thrusts. The clergyman turned his head
away TO avoid seeing the flow Of blood,
and when he looked again none OF the
three were there. Mortified and mysti-
fed, he hurriedly dressed himself and ian
to a police. station, and there. between
spasmodic efforts to catch his breath, he
described what he had seen. A thorough
search of the neighborhood was made, but
nothing was discovered. The. clergy
mans story was reported in the next
mornings newspapers, and before night
the occurrence was explained. The stu
dents at New Orleans law school get
practical instruction by trials of SUPPOSE
titiOus cases, and, the mimic murder was
intended to be used In that way.
