SWINDLED DIR. NEVIN.
How a Glib Young Mar Got the Sur
neansg MITE

Harry H. Mundon. an insurance agent,
employed, he says, by the Mutual Re
serve Company, was a prisoner in JUS
tice Potts court this morning. Police
Surgeon Nevi accuses him of the lar
ceny of $50.
1t was Mundon's wife, it IS said, who
was instrumental in having several
poker dens raided because her husband
spent considerable time w;th his elbows
resting on the green cloth and his eyes
on the pot. 1t appears that he repre-
sented to DR.. Nevin that he would make
him examining physician for the com
pany in New Jersey, with the under
standing that ne should receive a per
centage on every examination made. He
asserted that he had sixty applicants
waiting to be examined. He finally made
a decker with the doctor whereby he
secured his note for $50: Mundon had 1t
discounted and then disappeared. DR..
Neyfn has not seen him or the applicants
for examination since. He was arrested
in Flushing yesterday. Justice Potts
committed him.

READINESS OF WIT.

1t seems that in the year 1907, when
Philip W was on his way to Madrid to
take possession of his kingdom of Spain,
the inhabitants of Nom de Marsan came
out to meet him at his approach. The
two professions having met about a
league from the town, the Mayor adj
vanced toward the litter in which the
King sat. and addressed him as fol-
lows:-"Sire, long speeches are obnox-
sing you something" Leave vas given,
and he. sang forthwith a short ode to
the King, which SO greatly pleased his
(encore). The Mayor ave his song a
second time. The King thanked the
singer. and presented him with ten louis
dor. This amount seemed hardly sufi-
cient to the chief magistrate of Mont de
Marsan, and he therefore promptly held
out his empty hand to the King, and in
admirable imitation of the Kings voice,
himself called out, "Da capol" The King
laughed heartily and complied, and the
Mayor departed twice as well off as he
would have been had he been less quick
Witted.-Harper'S Round Table.
