There was one feature Of an entertain
ment given at prominent club in Chica-
go which was not down on the bills and
which created not little excitement.
II is thus described by The Record:
There had lately been taken into the club
"a one legged man. He wore an artificial
limb of improved make and there was
hardly limp in his gait to show that he
had not two sound legs under him. OF
those who attended tho entertainment on
ly few knew that he had wooden leg.
Late in the evening, whom the entertaiD-
ment began to take on varied hue, q
momber arose and said he would do lit
Ito job of amputation just to please tho
crowd. He brohght the new member up
to the coffin table and stretched him out
Oh it. Then iis produced a saw. At this
there was n laugh, because that was sup
posed to be the end of n rather mild joke.
However, the surgeon began to work, and
as the teeth of the saw began to bury
themselves In the log some of the specta-
tors groaned, others were too amazed to
move or speak and n few attempted to in
terfere and stop the operation.
The surgeon shook them off and sawed
on until the leg fell off. By that time ev-
cry one began to see the Coke. The sub
ject had put in an old log for the occasion
and didn't mind having 1t sawed In two.

The next moment the young baronet
mad entered, dragging by the hand a
most distressing-loolsing object, in the
shape of a deformed woman of about
four feet high, with u large face and
head, repellant expression, and
very ugly features. She was clinging
to his hand and gazing in his face with
