"NO doubt, uncle, but surely an extra
ordinary experimenter. Neither Bern

obtained the phenomena which he pro-
duces at will. He produces hypnotism
and suggestion without contact, without
direct action, by the Intervention of an
animal. He generally uses for his ex-
periments short-haired kittens. This is
how he proceeds: He suggests some act
to a cat, then he sends the animal in
basket to the subject on which he wishes
to act. The animal transmits the sug-
gestiOn which he has received, and the
patient, under the influence of the animal,
executes what the operator has com
handed"

not suffice for it."

Story She is very beautiful. Col. Story
lives at Yorkville and is leading man in
Paulding county. Miss Annie had many
admirers, but could not decide between
Andrew McBrayer and David Govan.
Finally she sent for the minister and the

the one who would come back TO her first

husband, both men to leave YOrkVille at
the same time and to ride to Dallas, the
county seat. The young wen were we'll
mounted, and the distance was nineteen
miles.
The race was a hot one McBrayer, the
rich lover, reached the ordinary first, and
secured a license before Govan appeared.
The latter came moment afterward,
hurriedly explained things to the ordi-
nary, and also secured a license. In
few moments he was also on his way back
to Yorkville. The race became sharp.
Govau was desperate because McBrayer
was the better mounted.
Miss Story, her father and the minister
waited on the front piazza for the racing
rivals McBrayer was first seen. He
was excited, and far down the road II was
noticed that his horse was nearly ex-
hausted. The race seemed his. He was
nearing the gate. In a moment Govan
appeared in a by-path. He was 20 yards
ahead of McBrayer. He first reached
the piazza and won the prize. He mad
taken a short cut through the woods.
The ceremony was performed and Nc
Brayer gracefully acknowledged defeat
and joined in the marriage festivities.

uncomfortable frame of mind and body.
1t was very chilly in the hall, and he was
not used to a Chicago climate, He shifted
uueasily in his seat. now and then pursuing
up his lips and slowly expelling his
breath from between them. Then he
would contract his brows and shake his
head uneasily. Presently he leaned over

near him, and whispered that he
thought he should have to leave. what

north. ~ do not know, " said the man
from the east; Something must be the

the man from the north laughed, and told
him he would stop smoking when 10
