NYE'5 BIG SCORE.
Ho Was Trifle Proud of 1t Until They TX

He Was Tri1e Proud of It Until They TX
So planned. ~. r. =
bill Nye got one Of his best short sto-
RES from personal experience in this
city. He had been invited to bowling
match at a private club on Wells street.
Charles Wacker, Fred Hid and several
other .congenial spirits We're the hosts Of
the evening and arranged surprise for
the humorist. BY his own confession he
did not know the difference between ten
pins and a game of cooked hat" but he
was put in to bowl as Mr.. Hild's partner
against two of the crack bowlers of the
club.
When Nye picked up the first ball and
sent it sailing down the alley as he had
seen the others roll, it struck the corner
pin, and to his amazement and delight
the whole 10 went topping over. The
next ball repeated the performance, and
the way he made ''strikes' and s'spares''
set the visiting spectators to wondering
where the baldheaded athlete before
them had learned the knack of the game,
AS for Nye, he didn't know just what to
make OF his success. At first he was in
clined to attribute it to luck. Then as
the score rolled up under his name he
grew facetious and ventured to ask his
hosts if they had any other game they
would rather play. By the time the
evening had approached its close he was
brutally hilarious and twitted the ex-
perts for letting an ignoramus come in
and beat them at their own game.
All this time the Chicagoans had been
taking defeat after defeat as good ma
turedly as could be. When the last round
had been ended, Mr.. Wacker asked Nye
if he wouldn't like to see the alley at the
other end. When they got there, the boy
in charge of the pins was in a broad
grin. ''Show Mr.. Nye how it works, >
suggested Wacker. And thereupon the
boy took very small rope from behind
the cushion near by and slipped taround
the pins so deftly that novice would
scarcely suspect it's presence.
"But," said Nye, whats the rope for?'
His companion laughed at the mans
innocence. "Roll him oner' he shouted
to Hid at the other end. AS the librarian
s'rolled him one" Nye saw the boy give
the rope a jerk, and the whole mass Of
pins. went tumblipg, although the bal
had slipped off into the gutter and miss
ed the pins entirely.-Chicago Record.
