Laying On OF Hands,"

My friend, the agent of a Buffalo
wallpaper house. was taking on"
with headache in the waiting room
of the big depot in Philadelphia, when
a slick-looking stranger about 25 years
of age sat down beside us and asked:
'.Is the ache mostly over your eyes
or in the back of your head?"
''It's all over my head" groaned the
victim.
Exactly. Proceeds from nervous
state of the system. Ah! your pulse is
away up. Let me see your tongue. /
thought so; cold current of air has
chilled the nerves along the spine. and
a smashing headache is the result"
"Are you a physician?" asked.
'Well, no, not in the ordinary sense.
I am called a professor. Some call
me fakir, even. I effect cures by what
is called laying on of hands. You are
skeptical, of course; but I'll agree to
cure your friend here in ten minutes
or forfeit $50"
"For heavens sake go ahead!"
groaned Tom. IF you can cure me in
an hour I'll give you ten dollarsr'
We went down into the baggage de-
partment, where the performance
wouldn't attract so much attention,
and the fellow began passing his hands
over Toms head and face. and also
rubbing his hands. He hadn't worked
a minute before Tom said he felt bet
ter, and in ten minutes the headache
was entirely gone.
Now, don't offer to pay me or I
shall be offended. he said. as he stopped
work, ''and you'd better sit quiet right
where you are for about ten minutes
Close your eyes. thus, and lean back q
little more. So"
He bowed himself out in a graceful
way. and had been gone fifteen min
utes when Tom carefully arose. opened
his eyes, and suddenly called out:
Robbed. by thunder!"
The fakir got $50 in cash. railroad
ticket to Washington, and diamond
pin worth 1926, and the police haven't
nabbed him to this day.-N 7. Sun.

A Girl I Used to Know.

Yes, it's form used to know, face used
to see,
That rises as it were from death and looks
again at me;
The smooth soft curls of chestnut hair, the
forehead white and low,
The sad and tender hazel eyes of girl used
to know.
Day after day. night after night, 1 set the
plans on Change
Which make the destinies Of men, and will
you think it strange
That gains were never yet SO high nor fortune
yet SO low
That midnight fancy summoned not a girl I
used to know?
kissed her once, SO long ago, beneath the soft
moonlight:
The shadows flickered DER her dress and
fecked its folds of white,
The maple branches overhead swayed softly
In gentle cadence, like the voice of a girl i
used to know.
The old. old story of two hearts, one fonder
far than true,
And hers alone, and innocent, to trust and
bear the rue.
And mine to keep forever more-her image
haunts me So
The wistful white. imploring face of girl ]
used to know.
see slender churchyard cross, with words
of faith engraved,
life is saved

blow
Above the narrow. lonely grave of the girl

How a Trout Gets His Color.

The color of trout's back depends
on the color of the bottom of the river.
but the trout which grow rapidly diff
fer greatly in spots and color from
those which grow slowly and thrive
badly, and middlc-aged trout differs
in color from an aged trout. Speak
ing generally. the young, healthy fast
growing fish will have silvery sides:
white belly and plenty OF well-dehned
spots. The poorl, fed fish will have
muddy-yellow sid1s. The old trout
will be much the s: ne in appearances.
only more so, and will be particularly
lank and large-hea.ied. This accounts
for those trout which have access to
salt water being brighter and more
beautiful than those which do not. The
variety and abunda zee of their food
make them so.-Ai. :ricGn Angler.
