THE FAKIR FLoORED.

When the Man in the Crowd Asked a
Question the Answer Wasn't Ready.
a new faktr struck town last week, says
the Buffalo Express. He was new in two
senses. He hadn't been long in the business
and his fakement was a novelty. he was
a young fellow from a Connecticut farm,
whom the king of the fakirs, who does busi
ness in Grand street, New York, had in
weighed into buying the territorial rights
for Western New York for burglar alarm,
which consisted simply Of 4 paper cap, such
as children use in their toy pistols, fitting
into q socket near the catch in window
frame. When burglar attempted to open
a windo W by manipulating the catch, so the
inventors theory ran, there could be an
explosion sufficiently loud to awaken the
householder and result in the crackSman's
capture. The cap and socket could also be
used to play practical joke on the buyers
friends They could be affixed to a door,
which victim could then be induced to
open Imagine his CONSERVATION and the
hearty laughter OF the assembled company"
etc.
The new fakir did pretty well at first. he
selected an eligible corner on a busy street
and usually had an open-mouthed crowd
around him. On the second day fate saun-
tered along in the person of a sad-eyed,
thoughtful -browed man. who listened for
awhile and then interrupted the lecturer
thus:
''Wiu you allow me TO ask you a ques-
ton, mister"
"Ct'nly, sir" replied the fakir.
wen. then, suppose the burglar knows
the cap is in the window and pulls the sash
down from the top, instead of showing up the
lower half of the window to which the
alarm is affiXed-what provision does
your device make for such q contingency"
The fakir thought for awhile. No such
emergency had been provided for in the
printed lecture which he had bought with
his territorial rights" He hemmed
and hawed and quibbled, but he had no
ans wer ready The crowd appreciated
the fact and jeered and melted away.
That night an idea came to broken
hearted man who was riding in a box car
toward Cleveland. 1t was the failed
fakir why, durn it, he said to himself,
"a man couldn't crawl in through the top
OF a window without showing the sash down
far enough to touch the catch and strike
the cap. Why didn't think OF that when
that feIler was ioshing me this afternoon?
But it was then too late.
Thus does fate make monkeys OF men,

A number OF prominent officials and

claimed MI Foster as a resident of the
National Capital and that the honoTs con-
ferred upon him We're reflected upon the
city in which he made his home.
To these MI Foster responded in an
address, in which he related several inter
esting "reminiscences Of his life abroad. He
modestly disclaimed for himself person
ally the compliment contained in his selec
ton to act as counselor to the proceed
ings He said that Mr.. Hubbard had eX-
plaincd the reason why China had come
10 The United States for an adviser-it was
because this country was the only one that
could successfully intervene between the
belligerents. That being the case, she
naturally booked here for aid, and, said
Mr Foster humorously, finding no one esse
idle, he was invited TO act.
He expressed his qualification over the
fact that his work had been deemed sue
cessful, and he assured his callers, that
nothing in all his experience, which had
/ been varied enough to suit the most eager
seeker for variety, had so touched him
as this work of affection and approval
