Sheridan and Grant at Poker.

A gronp of army men were discuss
ING the other day the reverence which
General Sheridan at all times exhibited
toward General Grant. To illustrate
this trait of General Sheridan's one OF
the company related the following in
cident,
General Grant and General Sheri-
dan were travelling in steamboat to-
gether, accompanied by other officers.
Among the passengers was young
Englishman who frequently used to
take hand at poker with the dis
tinguished travellers. The limit usual
ly was so cents. On one occasion the
Englishman wanted to get up to light
a cigar, and requested General Sherl,
dan to play his hand, which consisted
of four Jacks pat, for him: On the
| Englishman's return be asked how hi;
hand had panned out.
"'Oh,' said Sheridan, the Genera
(meaning Grant) bet me 80 cents, ano

The Englishman looked at hin
in amazement, and suffered out:
"tWell, I've heard of military dis
cipline, but I'm hanged if l ever hear'
of it going that far"

Turn-About With a whip.

s.Before the war;" said a veteran
commercial traveller, the other evening,
81 was travelling through the South.
One day stood on the veranda OF
small town in Georgia, waiting for
train time. Suddenly, a man dashed
past me out of the hotel with cooked
revolver in one hand and a cowhide
whip in the other, and rushing up to
gentlemanly looking fellow, slowly
coming down the street, covered him
with the pistol, crying savagely: + old
your arms. am going to thrash YOU,
.'The young fellow complied. and
the other began to rain blows all over
his face, neck and shoulders. The
rough edges of the strips of raw hide
cut and tore the flesh and burned like
hot irons. But the victim bravely
stood his ground, showing only by his
pallor and involuntary twitchlngs OF
the mouth and eyes the awful agony
he was suffering. Presently the other
began to tire and ceased to strike.
.ttHaye YOU finished now? calmly
| asked the young man.
Eyes sullenly growled the other.
"'Then put up your gum
mo sooner was the revolver restored
to its place than, quick as a flash, the
young man whipped from his pocket
pistol of large caliber, and, with look
of fierce determination, cried: Now

him." exclaimed the drummer. 1.-The
fellow cried and begged for mercy anc

FOOLED THE MAGICIAN.
An Amateur Gets the Best of Hermann In
Performance Off the Stage.

1t is related of Hermann, the magi-
clan, who is fond of playing his tricks
off the stage, to amuse his friends, that
he was accosted one evening in an up
town cafe by a conceited-looking man
who had been watching the prestidigi-
tateur do some clever sleight-of-hand
work, and finally broke in with:
You're pretty clever man, Mr..
Hermann, but can do trick as good
as any of yours. 1 can change s.
cent-piece that you may hold in your
clenched fist into a one-dollar gold
COIN"
why, my dear fellow" laughed the
magician, ''that's one of the simplest
tricks in my profession, one that an
adept would think it beneath him to
perform. He might amuse a child
with it, perhaps, but so could mere
beginner"
You may laugh at it." persisted the
man, 'but I'll bet you can't do it.
Nonsense" said Hermann, 81

You're stuck, old man." sneered
the conceited one, '1'll bet l could play
it on you and you can't play 1t on me,
and 1 amt in the tperfesh' either.
':Do it for him, Hermann, if just to
shut him up, and get rid of him." said
one of the bystanders.
''Well, where's your five-cent piece?"
said the magician, rather wearily.
''There it is,' replied the rival Won
derworker, ''now change it to a one
dollar gold coin if you can"
''Now I'll show you," said Hermann,
chow an amateur magician or tyro
in the profession would proceed to per-
form this idiotic little trick before a
drawingroom full of children or gap
ing crowd of country pumpkins at a
county fair"

with a wave of his hand, assuming a
mock-heroic attitude.
The man showed out his hand, in the
palm of which lay Scent piece.
E'This is your own coin, my friend?''
"Yes,"
You're sure of that?"
Yes"
''Tell the audience whether there is
any collusion between us to deceive
them in any way"
''There amt any,
'.All is fair and above board, gentle
men and ladies. No fraud, collision,
or anything of that kind whatsoever.
Shut your hands, tight, nv friend.
Now take care not to let your coin slip.
Clench it. PRESTO" and Hermann
made several theatrical waves and
passes with his arms.
'tNow open your hand"
The man did so, and there lay a
bright, new one-dollar gold piece.
''Well, you did it after all, - said the
conceited one cunningly, little crest
fallen, land as slick as I could have
done it myself" and he turned to GO
away.
Goodbye, said Hermann, " you may
leave me my gold dollar, though, before
you 60"
What do you meanp" said the man,
with twinkle in his eye.
why, the gold dollar I palmed off
on you. Here's your fve-cent piece. ii
Nonsense" said the man, ''you
changed my five-cent piece into a gold
coin without its leaving my hand. I'll
leave it to the crowd if you didn't"
The crowd promptly burst into 8
roar, declaring that the laugh was fair.
ly on Hermann, and compromise
was effected by which the apparently
conceited stranger passed the gold coin
over the bar and all drank to the clever
magician, the amateur remarking with
a grin: Here's luck to you, old man,
till you're tired of it.''

RUNAWAY POND.
An Early Outbreak of an Unreliable Yer.
mont Lake.

William Chaplin, according to the
Montpelier (Vt.) WatcLnaa1a, has dis
covered something interesting respect
ing Runaway Pond" He says:
II was much interested in an ac-
count read me from manuscript by one
of the aged men of Glover concerning
the outgoing of Runaway pond in
Glover June 6, 1910. Some of the in
cidents have never been in print. so
far as l know. o. V. PercIval has
gathered these facts from the lips of
those present on that memorable oc-
casion. The pond, 1-2 miles long
and mile wide, was 100 feet deep in
some places 1t had its natural outlet
south into the Lamoille valley, but on
this 9th day of June, 1910, the miller
on a little stream to the north under
took, with some thirty of his friends,
to seal out little water to go their
way, that the miller might grind his
corn When they had dug trench
through the bank into the pond and
the water flowed nicely, they all got
out to take drink of rum, as was the
fashion of that day. Suddenly the
water stopped running in the trench,
| but they heard strange gushing be-
! meath. One of the leaders of the COM
| pany-Spencer Chamberlin - jumped
| down to see what was the trouble. Inn
| mediately he began to sink in the soft
| ouicksand. He was caught by the
| hair of his head and pulled out by his
alarmed comrades.
.The whole pond was going fast and
| furious. 1t sucked through the widen
! inc, deeping gorge. Who should warn
| the people below? Who should tell the
milier's wife, who was grinding grlst
[ in her husbands absence? There was
! q hurried consultation. Who was
| strongest, bravest, fieetest of foot!
Spencer Chamberlin was chosen, and
with quick good-by to his compan
ions he bounded down the rougf
ravine, gained the head of the flood
and sped on for the mill. Dame Viii
son had ground the grist, but was still
in the mill, the old horse hitched to /
post near the door, when Chamberlil
rushed in and without any word
seized the woman with one arm ant
the orist with the other and made
break for higher lands. Getting out
the mill, he saw the raging torrent com
ing roaring, grinding, crashing
, down the valley. He dropped the girls
and saved the woman. The old hors

his first voyage. At all events, he wa

An Episode at Private Masquerade

1t was in town not a thousand
miles from Boston that there were re-
Gently given couple of masqued par
ties at private houses. At the second
of these the hostess of the first party
found herself talking very amiably
with mask in whom she supposed
herself to recognize a gentleman who
had come to the town just after her
sake of making conversation. and of
throwing the gentleman off the scent
of her own identity, she asked:
''Were you at Mrs. Blanks maalue
party?"
NO." he answered, II was not hon
ored with an invitation"
Were you here at that timer" she
asked.
'Yes," he answered, ''but Mrs.
Blank does not like me-"
CONSERVATION seized upon Mrs.
Blank, but she instantly determined
not to betray herself.
Doesn't she?" she returned careless
ly. Probably that is one of the things
which you imagine. Some people are
always surprising that others do not

asked, entirely mystified in regard to
the identity of her interlocutor.
"Why, should not mind telling you
if were sure that you wouldn't repeat

''Oh, never betray confidence" "
i the lady said eagerly.
! The gentleman leaned over until his
face under its mask was near to hers.
Il asked her to marry me-"
Mrs. Blank was more startled than
ever. The train of her old suitors, and
in her day she had had not a few,
came up before her mental vision, and
she wondered which one of them

~. Why Thunder sours Mills.

You have often asked or been asked:
why does thunder sour sweet milk?"
Milk is peculiar, inasmuch as it is very
sensitive to atmospheric changes. Blec-
tricity, the cause of thunder, produces,
or, if it does not produce, follows great
and rapid changes in atmospheric condi-
tions. Lightning is the discharge which
comes of electrical inequalities, produc-
ing chemical changes in the air. Thun-
der-storms represent the greatest ac-
tivity of electrical phenomenon, and
the best authorities give it as their
opinion that the electricity in the at
mosphere is the prime cause of milk
souring during the prevalence of such
storms. Louis Republic.

only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused byan infiamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets inf1amed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
