GUS experience in the beautiful science
of electro-magnetism, which is why I
use this old belt over again, for, as the
prophet wisely says, stitch in time
saves a penny. Now. if two gentlemen
will step upon the stand l will show
the assembled multitude what I mean
when say that this belt which offer
to you this evening is indeed the nine
teenth wonder of the age, absorbing as
it does the effluvia of such microbes al

exhausted in mind and body that the
blind may see and the halt may cast
their crutches at the thieves in the
temple, removing at the same time all
beams from the eye. Will two gentle
men step forward?"
''Now, if you two gents will place
your hands on these pieces of metal
will produce q sensation which you de-
scribing to your friends in the multi
tude, will convince them more than any
word of mine that what say of my
anti-microbe belt is the welcome truth
for which their disease-racked bodies
have long been a-thirst. For what is
it the bard of Avondale says?
Hung be the heavens with black!

Withered limbs and aching back.

''Surely man can not deny an old
master, and If the Divine William was
not an old master, why as the member
of the house of lords said when he'd
been drinking too much tea in the
tower of London: Where is my 'at?'
Now, professor, if we are I'LL ready,
give the gentlemen gentle shock"
1.-The professor" continued the fakir,
sparring for time, ''has to adjust to q
nice equila barium the delicate elec-
trodes which represent at one and the
same time the moisture of the body
and the perspiration of the skim"
Then aside: Cant you make the
darn old thing go, Tom?'
mo; there's something missing vet,
but don't know what it is" answered
Tom.
THE professor informs me, j" shouted
the doctor, ''that the negative jar in.
dicates q feverish tendency in what we
medical men term the sanguine pulsa-
tions of this gen9 here" putting his
hand on the shoulder of the young
farmer, who was as red as boiled lob
ster, and dripping with perspiration.
Gam 1 right in my dagnostics, sir?
Are you warm?" .-..-.....
"You bet be-" blurted the subject,
and the doctor had scored point, hut
the electric current would not start.
''That being the case, l must assist
the professor in his adjustments"
He leaned over Tom and whispered:
''Never mind the dod gasted thing; I'll
go on with the talk, and when 1 give
you the tip jab needle in the hobos'
legs. They're so fabergasted they'll
think it's shock"
Tom had moved behind the s.hobos {"

in the air, trick to attrack the atten-

Tom, and shouted: 81 should Judge by
this time the circuit is complete"
Both the men jumped into the air

the crowd.
'Did you feel shock? You should
have felt it in your legs" observed the
fakir, addressing the victims. They
both answered satisfactorily by rub

'It is indeed marvellous, marvelous!'

man who passed up bill. He was
selling them fast now.
'Surely, while there is fire there is
hope, and no longer need we leave un.

And SO he ratified ON until the ulti-

then the people slowly went away.
"What made those hobos jump so,
Tom?" asked the doctor of the pro-
fessor as they were packing the trunk.
II didn't have q needle, so had ia
jab 'em with knife." answered Tom.
