showed an unexpected falling off in the re-

strength that it bounded upward nearly 10

+. A. Sothern, the celebrated "Lord
Dundreary," was invited to two houses
in one evening One entertainment
was party of "grown-ups," the other
of children. Southern considered it
would be a capital joke if he entered
the drawing room full of children on
al-fours and pretended to be bear.
When the footman announced Mr.
Sothern, the actor carried out his in
tention, to the no small amusement of
the assembled guest. He had mixed
up the two houses and found himself in
the center IF wonder-strcken grown
ups" Sothern gave dinner perty one
evening to about dozen men. One
OF the guests whom we will call Thomp.
son, was late. They had just sat down
to their soup, when loud rieg announ-
ced the arrival of Mr.. Thompson
Sothern hastily exclaimed. "Let us
all get under the table," Fancy Thomp-
sons surprise when he beholds long
table devoid Of guests. Sotherns's
love of practical joking was well
known, so the company were not as
tonished at the proposition, and in
couple of seconds every man was con-
ceaIed from view beneath the table.
Sothern mode a half dive, then resum-
ed his place at the head of the table.
Thompson entered, stared and exclam.
ed. "Hallo! where are all the fellowsH,
Sothern shook his head in lugubri
Gus fashion and in melancholy tones
replied. 81 can't explain it, my dear
fellow, but the moment they heard your
name they all got under the table. "
The expression on the faces of the
hoaxed guests as they slowly emerged
one by one, from their conccalment can
be better imagined than described.

In 1853 Minot Banks, of Bridgeport,
Conn, borrowed 1922 from Moses Og-
den. For several years he was una
bic to pay the interest, and the amount
grew untilin 1871. Ogden required
Banks and his sister to give joint
note for $500. In 1918 Ogden sued
them on the note and got Judgment
for $3.50, and at tbs same time brought
another suit for $3.50 against
Banks. To prevent a sale of their
property, Banks and his sister decided
their homestead, valued at $4,000, to
Ogden, leaving them in possession and
with the right of redemption. Last
year Ogden rejected them, and because
they could not pay the costs of the
summary process by which they were
put out of their house, had them in
November, committed to the Bridge
