Mr.. Walter 81. Newbegin one evening last
week found. himself suffering the chagrin
which one feels upon becoming conscious
that he Is the victim of practical joke, and
at the same time. enjoyed the pleasure which
comes from unexpectedly being the recipient
the evening Mr.: Newbegin was called from
his store up to his wife's Ice cream saloon,
where he found party of Boston friends
who had apparently just come over fir ON
Hotel Marr0wond0 to call upon himself and
after Mr.. Newbegin's arrival some one Of the
party managed indirectly to call his atten-
ton In the direction of his house, which was
within sight of the saloon. Upon looking
toward his house The saw that the sitting
room was brilliantly Illuminated, and as
neither Mrs. Newbegin nor himself had been
to the house that evening, he at once con-
cluded that the house was on fire. The
guests lost no time In getting Mr.. Newbegin
started for the fire at full speed, while his
friends remained at the saloon, nearly con-
vulsed with suppressed laughter to see how
well their little joke was working. Never
dreaming but that his friends were in hot
pursuit, Mr.. Newbegin reached his house,
very much out of breath and rushed up
stairs and into the sittingroOm where the
fire was supposed to be raging. On entering
the room much to his surprise he found no
fire, but that the illumination was wholly
due to a very beautiful and costly piano
lamp OF oxidized silver which his friends in
some way had managed to place there. After
recovering from his fright, and admiring the
beautiful gift, he returned to the saloon,
wiping the Precipitation from his face and
declaring that he had not lost anything In
the fire of which his esteemed friends, Mr..
Edwin Stearns, Miss Kittie Donahue, Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Whelan and Mr. and Mrs.
Will Fields were the incendiarles.
