Hard to Say Yes"
From the Youths Companion.

EICul tue IOulu NOHupdulO
Among the Yankees there is occa-
sionaly a man who seems to find it al
most impossible to answer question
with a plain Eyes" or 'no." He has
8 way of his own of expressing the az
frmative or the negative, which he
finds quite as effective as fiat yes or
nc.
One day Ephraim =, a young
up.country farmer, who had this Pc
culiarity of making indirect answers,
appeared before the minister to be
married to Seraphina Y, a
comely and well-to,do young woman
whom he had long wooed and finally
won.
The minister began the ceremony.
'Do you, Ephraim, take this wo-
man, Seraphina, to be your lawful
wife ?"
Ephraim grinned. Wal-he! he ! I
guess I do" said Ephraim.
ANSWER me yes" said the minis
ter, quietly. And then he repeated,
''Do you, Ephraim, take this woman,
seraphina, TO be your lawful wife ?"
Ephraim scratched his ear and an

''That will do" said the minister.
firmly. "Answer me categorically."
"What !" exclaimed Ephraim in
dignantly. "He won't take my word
for il, eh?"
Here the young woman began to
cry, and Ephraim was finally induced
to say Eyes" in answer to the uues-

The Science of Palmistry-What Shaking

"A hot dry hand shows inactivity of the
skin. The skin is the third kidney. We
sweat out as much water through the skin
as we pass off through the kidneys"
How much is that?"
Gin health, several pints a day. In the
summer we sweat more than in the winter
but in health there is a constant though in
visible escape of moisture through the skin.
In the palm of the hand, there are from two
to three million little sweat pores. The
sweat-glands are great help to the Kidneys
and when working BEAUTIFULLY in the sum-
mer, the kidneys can and do take much
needed recreation. You can prove this, if
you notice that you pass less fluids in sum-
mer than in winter, if skin and kidneys are
healthy.

lected would be insured
The next morning application was made
20 the post office authorities for permits
sion to employ in the work as many of their
men as could be spared, the detective
bureau paying all expenses. With some
difficulty this permission was obtained for
a detail of fifty men. AS many more of the
detective staff were selected and at 6 o'clock
on the Sunday following the whole squad of
100 were admitted to the Inspectors room
He addressed them, carefully explaining to
them every circumstance of the plan, and
assigning to each the letter box which he
was to watch-\ 1t was arranged that when
the fatal letter was posted the man who dis
covered it should make a signal by raising
his hat, upon which the detective in attend
ance should proceed to arrest the person
who had posted it.
Everything having now been prepared,
SO far as human ingenuity could prepare it,
tne men were dispatched to their posts, and
the watch began.
The Inspector sat in his Office and waited.
Outwardly, he appeared in his calmest and
sunnlest humor; but we may be permitted
to surmise that had his mind been visible
through his face, a certain amount of sus-
pense and anxiety would have been obser-
vable. In truth, there was a great deal at
stake, not least among which was the In
spector's confidence in his own abilities If
he were to fail now, he must acknowledge
himself beaten; and to be beaten was some
thlng TO which the Inspector had never had
an opportunity to become accustomed. Was

and breathed a modest hope that, if it
turned out Waterloo indeed, he would be
found to have acted TIL part of Yelling

written upon Western Union telegraph
blanks with an Edison electric pen.
When the guests arrived and entered
the gate the house appeared dark, but as
they placed foot upon the lower step a
row of tiny electric lights blazed out
over the door, and the number appeared
in bright relief. The next step taken
rang the front door bell automatically,
the third threw open the door, and at
the same time made connection which
lit the gas in the hall by electricity.

him to drop it like hot potato. Upstairs
