For some months it has been
known almost to a certainty that a
prominent prince OF Europe is now
in America in disguise, and is can
wasting for books, that he may in
this manner learn more OF the real
life of the American people. Twice
has he been identified in the East and
each time changed his disguise and

his visit Lately something has
transpired which leads the Philadel-
phia Times to the conclusion that
this same prince is now selling books
in Texas.
A list of eminent men who have
been book agents comprises many
authors and statesmen. George
Washington was book agent and a
good one. Prior to the Hateful Brad
dock expedition he sold over POO
copies in Fairfax and adjoining
counties in Virginia, OF a work on

Twain were, in early life. book can

Massachusetts historical society a

Electric Girls and VIVA Men.

"Fake'' freaks often draw better
than genuine ones, but they do not
last so long A recent instance of this
kind was an electric girl" 1t was
asserted that she was so charged with
electricity that one received a shock
upon shaking hands with her. This
delusion was really produced by the
girl standing on wet mat charged
with electricity from a hidden battery
and large enough for the visitor TO
stand on also. Another fake of the
same class, which came across not
long ago, was a wild man of the
woods" who was crouched in a dark
corner Of what appeared TO be a heay-
ily-barred cage, clanking the heavy
chains that were attached 70 his limbs.
A strong railing was placed in front, so
as not TO allow visitors TO approach too
close 10 the man. The lecturer told
the audience how this remarkable crea-
ture had been found running wild by
a party OF hunters on the west coast of
Africa. and that he had been in cap
tivity only few months, and was very
dangerous, so much so that his meat,
which he would eat only in raw state.
had TO be placed in the cage with 4
long iron fork. After the museum was
closed every night this wild man DOTTED
his chains and suit OF hair and took the
car to his home, where he was ac-
counted one of the mildest and most
henpecked of men. -Lippincott's Mag
