"Now, Wally," said Edgar, with O
friendly smile, II just want to make an
experiment. If you offer no resistance, I
think 1 can hypnotic you. What you
have to do is to maintain a passive mental
attitude. Try to think of nothing what
ever-no, not even of me. Come, try to
be serious. There, lean back and make

The young lady scrupulously obeyed
these instructions. In 20 seconds her eyes
twinkled; after 40 they closed completely.
''Ah! I knew 1 should do the trick!'
Edgar triumphantly exclaimed. CHOW,
Wally, L command you to reveal to me the
secrets of your heart. Whom do you love?

An expression of reluctance fitted for a
moment over the maiden's face; then she
began in monotonous drawl:

RumOr That Their Girl Baby at Scranton
is Boy.


is Boy.
The Topeka suffrage ladies are in great
trouble. It has been announced by some
unprincipled person that their baby at
Scranton has no teeth, is bald headed, or
nearly SO.
All this is a source of great annoyance
to the ladies who had already gone to
the trouble of naming the baby after
their great leader, Susan B. Anthony
Nor is this all. Some one has even
declared that it is a boy.
II wouldn't be right at all to name
boy Susan B. Anthony and the Topeka
women are-well, disturbed.
It is believed, however, that all this is
vile calumny and that the baby must
really be girl with long, dark, wavy
hair.

Western Passenger Men Fixing Fall Rates

Will Nicholson, chief rate clerk of
the Santa Fe, is in Kansas City attending
a rate meeting of the passenger men of

a general revision of the passenger rate

The matter of the rate from this terri

There is controversy of small practical
Importance, interesting from a purely lit
erary point OF view-nameiy, which reIi-
gion possesses the largest Bible. The rab-
bis. with wonderful patience have ascer-
tanned, by actual counting that the Old
Testament in Hebrew contains 593, 493
words, 2, 728 100 letters and 49, 214 verses.
Christian students, with even greater pa
thence, have ascertained that the Bible in
the authorized version contains 773, 692
words, 3, $50, 4S9 letters and 81, 173 verses.
The results Of these labors though inter
esting and curious, are comparatively
small. For instance, it has been found out
that verse of Psalm cxviii forms the cen
ter of the whole Bible; that verse 81 of
chapter vii of Ezra contains all the letters
of the English alphabet except F; that II
Kings, chapter xix, is identically the same
as Isaiah, chapter xxxvii; that the word
"Lord'' occurs /, 855 times, the word grey
erend" but once, the word 'tand' 46, 277
times.
The Rig-Veda, the Oldest of all sacred
books, contains about TO- 500 verses and
1913, S26 words. The Avesta such as we
now possess it, claims 70, O20 words What
must strike every one in these statistical
researches is the great amount of repeti-
ton in all the sacred books. For instance
although the number of words in the Old
Testament is estimated at 500, 493, the
words occurring in a dictionary of the Old
Testament would amount to no more IA
about 5, 642; so that, on an average, every
word is used 100 times.--From Max Null
ler's Lecture at Oxford Academy.
