DECIDED CY a COIN,

Tho Goddess of Chance Invoked by hfr.
Stanley In Africa.
In q little speech to the New York
Press club the other evening Henry N.
Stanley said:
In Central Africa it was not the fash
Ion to indulge in after-dinner oratory
and lie was consequently somewhat out
of practice. Several times in his career
he had been compelled to decide in q
moment what course of action to pur-
sue. In his first African enterprise he
found himself stranded on On African
island without friends and without mon
cy. This was nineteen years ago. He
had to decide in n moment what to do.
nnd he determined to go on. He raised
loan of thirty thousand dollars in q
few hours by paying five thousand dol
lars premium, and went ahead until,
after lapse of nine months, he found
David Livingstone, the object of his
search.
When he reached the spot where Liv.
ingstonc had turned back he was again
confronted with the necessity of instan-
tancou3 decision. He was in q guam
dairy. If he turned back he would stamp
his enterprise with failure. If he went
on he ltncw not what would happen.
lie held @ consultation with his lieuten.
ant, and the latter suggested that the
matter might be settled by tossing a
coin. He accepted the suggestion and
tossed mp n rupee. The coin decided
against going OH. But Stanley was not
satisfied. He tossed again, and still
sgain, nrid each time the coin said that
Stanley should not go on. Then he had
recourse to long and short straws and
thrcc times this divination declared
ShCt tho explorer should turn back
But he WIS still not satisfied to 20
hacls. lie thought that something must
be tho matter with the rupee and the
strows, and 30 he cast aside the prophe-
Cics Of both and went ON following the
course OF tho great river until he found
whence it came. When he returned to
london after this expedition he found

whether 1t should call him pirate or
GIVE him dinner. 1t finally decided to
Eivo him a dinner.

INVITED HIMSELF.
IN Astor-Wllllng Guest Who Was Not In
It ut tho Wedding.

NueSt VINO was NOT II
It ut tho Wedding.
There Is an amusing story as to how
nm EnGlishmnn who was visiting this
country ut tho time of the Aston Willing
wedding managed to get his name in
tao papers ns one of the guests.
1t seems, says the Chicago News, the
Englishnaan made his headquarters in
Now York, where he Is pretty we'll
known, md enjoys the company of a
few chosen friends upon his stated
visits to this country. He happened to
be IL the metropolis ut the time the
wedding was talked about, and joking
ly said that he had received m invita-
ton. His acquaintance looked at him
In blank engagement. Not one of their
set had been invited to tho ceremony,
and they secretly wondered how on
earth tho Englishman had managed it.
Curiosity finally predetermined, and
after considerable hesitation the ques-
ton was put pointblank, when tho
EnTliGliman laughingly said it was
joke, but, said he: "I'll bet anyone
hero that can go over to Philadelphia
ns one of tho guests"
The bet was taken with considerable
odds in tho Englishnan's favor. Sew
cral days before the swell ceremony oc-
cured the Londoncr secretly ascer-
tanned whore tho Astors would stop
when in the city. Accordingly he went
over and selected n suite of the best
roor13 obtainablc ut the same hotel,
and when the wedding guests began to
arrive he came with the crowd, ,ac-
conpcuicd by n valet and goodly
amount of luggage. He was ut once
set down as an Astor guest, and his
English manners and accent, which
were closely observed, were greatly in
Chis favor. When the reporter came
around to get the list of names the
Englishman took special pain to see
that his name was printed correctly,
and, although he never went near the
wedding, he had the check to return to
New York and claim his bet.
All the evidence was in his favor, for
both Philadelphia and New York Jour
nails gave publicity to his name, and his
friends to this day do not know that
they were shandcfully duped.

And the oriole sings in tho tangled vines !;

What sleep is no one knows. The
prevailing theory as to its nature, ac-
cording to Youths Companion. is that
OF the psychologist, Preyer. who holds
that refuse matter accommodates in the

to bring about insensibility. which
continues until the brain has been re-
lieved OF the waste matter by Its abb

Whatever feats OF endurance men
may accomplish, they cannot live long

men sleep. Those condemned to die,
although they fear their fate. general

Soldiers have been known to sleep

The question is often asked, Chow
