has distinct recollection of Napoleon's

the execution of Charles the First, or nursed

tell of devoted couple who arm in arm

day that George Washington's father and
mother were married, and are now about to

Family-A Sad Blow TO Trusting

Until quite recently, young Percy Wander
clam was the lifeand soul Of the brilliant
coterie of Gothams gilded youths to which
he belonged. No great social event was COM
plete without him, for no other society man
put his fathers moneyiinto circulation with
more lavish hand than did. the only son of
old Peter Stuyvesant Vanderelam. To coin
phrase, he was the .'dudiest' Of all the local
dudes. ~
Suddenly change came Ger the spirit of
his dream. His ostentatious attentions to Miss
Dolly Dimple of the Standup Theatre ceased,
as If by magic. He even gave up coaching.
The New Jersey hoodlums, who watt dead
cats, second-han eggs, and other aromatic
testimonials, at the passengers on the swell
tally-ho that makes a daily trip to Philadel-
phia, missed the tall, Slim figure of young
Vanderclam, because he was no longer there.
For an entire week he wore the same suit Of
clothes to the open-eyed amazement of his
friends.
OF course, this sudden change produced
intense excitement, which almost assumed
the nature of a panic when it was rumored
that the misguided youth, who had given
up his "bird and cold bottle at Del
monico's, had been seen tackiing plate of
pork and beans at a cheap restaurant on the
Bowery.
Ali sorts of explanations were given, in
Guiding the Iudicrous one that his mind was
affected, and the first stage of paresis had
set in. According to another rumor, a secret
marriage with the actress already mentioned
had caused the older Sanderclatn to cut off
Percy's allowance; and, moreover, he had
made new will that Would cause the young
mans eyes to bulge out When It came to be
read. Still another rumor was to the effect
that, carried away by the wins6omne smile of
Captain Patsy Jinkins, the young scion of
one of the oldest families Of New York, he
contemplated matrimony and the pounding
of bass drum in the ranks Of the Salvation
Army. 80 ecu a"5 = ii3ii.a
The real cause Of the young aristocrat's
sudden transformation is entirely different
from those already mentioned: How the
writer of these lines came into possession of
the correct solution Of this great mystery is
immaterial, but the facts are as follows:
twill be remembered that a1few months ago
New York society was thrilled from center to
circumference by the. advent of young Lord
Hungerford, the son and presumptive heir of
the immensely wealthy old Earl Of Starvedale
Abbey. Anybody could see at a glance that
he was the genuine imported article. He

A Puzzled Irishnian.

Some years ago, class in the San Fran
cisco Art School was startled by the sudden
appearance in its midst of a dilapidated
Irishman who, with tears in his eyes, begged
for money enough to get him "a bite.''
The first impulse of the presiding genius
was to request him to move on. But his
picturesque qualities suggested that he
might be given a chance to earn his supper
by sitting as model.
'Sit down." said the instructor, kindly.
eff you will permit these young ladies to

cav Oil let 'em what?' said the beggar,
with puzzled look in his face.
"Paint you! Paint you! 1t won't take
very long,

he returned, after a moments reflection,

At one point, in the interior of the State.
General @. was addressing vast meeting,
and arousing all that wild enthusiasm which
he was so well calculated to inspire in the
hearts of the masses. He began by saving
that he had come into that section poor.
friendless youth; that he had met the hand
of good-fellowship, and been lifted by it
through the various grades of public posi-
ton; he was deeply sensible that he owed to
that people all that he was. all that he hoped
to be; q lifetime devoted to their service
could never repay them. About this period
a fellow directly in front of the stand, whose
coon-skin cap and patchwork coat of many
colors proclaimed him to be a mountaineer,
burst forth, with a loud yell: , -
"tGin'ral! you're punkins!' a-'s=>'st
considerably enlivened, the general went
on: Gentlemen, when the tocsin of war
sounded over the land endeavored to prove,
to the extent of my humble capacity, not
unworthy OF your confidence. 1t is always
an invidious task to speak of self, but think
I may say that the flag of Mississippi, under
my guidance, was ever among the foremost
in danger and victory!'
''The fellow in the coon-skin cap again led
the crowd in shout of tremendous excite
ment: 80 Ettoe 80,
Central! you're some punkins = - s-75o'

friends are kind enough to think that I can
be of service in this crisis. If so, am will

you unremittingy; am ready to toll for
you still. You know the present issue, and
you know my views. Therefore it is chat I

"Coon-skin could contain his emotion no
longer. With tears streaming from his eyes
he dashed his cap upon the ground, and
exclaimed: ,3i

to inquire how that same old coon had
forced himself into the meeting.'' - =. :.
Meteorologists say that the storm that
swept over the United States from the 18th
to the Odd of May was the most extensive and
continuous on record. While there were no
great local disasters resulting from this
storm, its effect on fruits and planted crops
is without parallel. Taken in the aggregate,
it has had no equal within living memories.

is he not apt to go about In a semi-dazed
and incoming condition, except in the
company of the object OF his affections.
when his sensibiities are abnormally active
and he is alert to do her pleasure?
The Century Dictionary further ex-
plains that hypnotism is artifcially induced
by concentrating the attention upon some
bright object, and that when in the con-
dltion so caused the mental action and the
volition of the subject are to a large extent
under the control Of the operator. This has
a scientific sound, but the variety Of hyp-
notism practiced by the Kalamazoo maiden
upon the Kalamazoo man was probably
neither scientific nor occult. Indeed, it need
not be assumed that she practiced any art
whatever beyond that entirely legitimate
SihiuiAAc OHc u permitting lHC
man to hover about her as a moth does
about a candle. If he allowed himself to be
SO -dazzled and bewildered by the light Of
her c~ountenance that he scorched his wings,
was that her fault? Or, to put it in modern
version, if he deliberately chose to hypno-
tie himself, was the Kalamazoo maiden
necessarily to blame? A fair verdict would
be that she was not, but that the girl
whom he had first promised to marry was
unfortunate in having less ability to charm,
or less hypnotic power, as one chooses to
put it, than girl number two. 1t is merely
a matter of phrases. Hypnotism in the
matrimonial world is not a new develop
ment; it is only a modern term for an en-
chantment familiar since the days of Eve.
The Kalamazoo man was true to Adams
example in charging the blame of his mis-
doing upon the woman, but, like Adam, he
