She Shook Them.

Up in Wisconsin, the other evening, a
patent-medicine man was selling something
or other from carriage in which were a
very pretty young woman and a gasoline
lamp. The lady sang one or two songs very
sweetly, and then the man talked and sold
his nostrum at dollar bottle.
When he had disposed of 30 or 40 bot
ties he said, "Now gentlemen, before l bid
you goodnight will give you an exhibit
ton of the wonderful magnetic powers Of
my wife, who sits here by my side. | hold
in my hand common piece of thread.
Now one of you take hold of the end of it
and walk off, and then let all the others
take hold of it, and at the signal which |
give she will take hold of the other end and
you will feel the shock Instantly"
About $50 men and boys grasped the
thread and walked off about half block
with it. Now keep perfectly quiet and
you will feel the shock, delicate at first
and then strong enough to Jingle at the
ends of your fingers and toes. Are you
ready ?"
They all said, "Yes."
swell, then, | will put out the light,
said he, land my wife will take the thread
in her hand at that instant"
The light vent out and the mans voice
was heard, "What have you in your hand,
my dear?"
"The longest string of suckers ever
saw in my life, came in sweet, musical
voice, and at the same moment the horses
and carriage were driven off at great speed,
leaving the crowd holding on to the string
completely dum-founded.
It was the worst shock good many Of
those fellows ever got.

The Telephone Girl.

The telephone girl had been asleep for a
long time, when somebody called. Look
ing at the switch board, she saw that No.
I'LL was down, and leisurely raising the
phone to her ear, she softly replied:
"Hello, Doldoodle -
"Hello, ducky, he replied, and she made
faces at the key board long time before
she paid any more attention to him, then
said
"Oh, you bald headed old sinner, what
do you want?'
CDR Highfyer. No. 1922"
''Hello p
Hello, Highfyerl My wife is not
very well tonight. She has severe pain
in the back of her neck, and complains of
sort of goneness in the abdomen. L."
Got malarial cholic, guess.
Il think so. What shall [ do to relieve
herr"
Here the mischievous girl switched on
a machinist who was telling the owner of
saw mill what be thought allied his boiler
and the answer to Doldoodle's question was
as follows
II think she is covered with scales in
side, about an inch thick. Let her cool
down during the night, and before she fires
up in the morning take a hammer and
pound her thoroughly all over, and then
take a hose and hitch it on the fire plug
and wash her out. l wouldn't be sur
prised if she is half full of mud, besides
the scales When YOU get through, fill
her up with cold water and build fire
under her, and if she don't get hot enough
to steam well in half an hour, I'll eat her.
1t is now reported that DIR. Highfier's
professions of temperance are delusior
and snare, and that he gets awful drunk
and nobody patronizes him any more and
he has had No. 1922 taken out Of hi:
house, because he is no longer able to pay
rent for it.

Viewing the Machinery.

They had been sitting on the promenade
deck for more than an hour, when she sug
gested that they go down stairs and look at
the machinery. He agreed, and an old
lady who sat near by and heard the con-
versation, rose up and said:
"Young man, have you any objection to
my going along? I've allus been crazy on
the subject of machinery"
He replied that he would be delighted,
and she followed the couple to the main
deck.
'This, suppose you know" began the
young man, lis the main shaft.
'Yes-yes-came from the State of
Maine" twittered the young lady.
The old woman stuck up her nose, but
made no remarks.
THAT up there is the walking beam"
80, is it? How nice! You wouldn't
think it-could walk; but of course it does.
The old woman put on her spectacles to
get better look at the girl.
''That rod you see there" continued the
young man, ''is called an eccentric"
How funny? But why shouldn't it
be? There are eccentric people, and why
shouldn't there be eccentric rods? pre-
sumo it gets cranks sometimes. Go on,
George
II don't believe it." muttered the old
woman.
"And that is called steam-chest, my
dear"
"Ol is it? I've always wanted to see
one. They put their steam in there so as
to keep it cool and nice. It's the same
principle as refrigerator. Yes, George"
The old woman removed her specs, and
began to look as mad as COW on a sand
bar.
s'That thing up there is called steam
dial" said George.
90, how nice! I've read of it some
where in Shakespeare's works. see the
pointer is at eighty. My! but who'd be-
iieve we were carrying eighty tons of
steam? George, if we blow up you must
save me-indeed you must. What's that
glass thing?'

30, see. 1t indicates that we are on
the water How grateful we ought to be
to the geniuses of America for these inven-
tions!
Here the old lady started to leave with
''Humph" of disgust, but the young
man called
MADAM, are you not interested p
"Look here, young man !! she ex-
claimed as she wheeled around 'mebbe
you kin make fool of that inherent
young gal, and mebbe she delights in it,
but when it comes to stufing old hens with
chopped straw it won't go down! Pass
on Tn walkin' beam myself, and I'm
going to walk"
And away she sailed, carrying forty-five
pounds of steam by the dial.
