A rich man of Cleveland, O.. a few

nut parties are quite the rage just now,
says the Plain Dealer of that city.
They are easily planned and carried
out. About the only necessity is chest
nuts. That's where the rich man
stumbled. The chestnut supply at the
point he had selected for the party was
scarce. There was asplandid tree, but
it's crop was light. Wealth is the true
father of expedients. The rich man
bought a generous supply OF chestnuts
and sent them out to be carefully scat
tered beneath the tree. When the
party arrived at the nutting ground,

on the ground lay the remarkably gen.
erous supply of nuts. The business OF
gathering them went merrily forward,

A considerable following shares his
faith. and since the night OF Sept. G,
when Gouche held his supposed commu-
nication with the divine power. his fol-
lowers have been making preparations
for the final leave taking.
There is to be no further warning.
The earth will crumble to dust, and
the faithful, those destined by reason
of marked favor with God to enjoy the
future life. will be taken from the earth
on the night previous to the final judy
ment Gouche's strange faith is not
the result OF hallucination which
might come to person suffering from
mental arrangement. but is due to faith
In dreams and prophecies fulfilled.
The morning of Sept. Gouche awoke
greatly agitated. During the night it
was revealed to him in dream that on
the 1st day of October God in his wrath
would destroy the earth and that those

the revelation to his family, who at
once shared his belief, and the neigh
borhOod in which the Gouches' re-
sided became craZed with excitement,
and each day has served to add to the
confusion.
A meeting was held at the Goucbe
house that night at which weird scenes
we're enacted. Gouche went Into a
trance and the same startling predic-
tion haunted him. The verification of
the prophecy confirmed the belief OF
Coucbe's followers Men. women and
children fell forward on their knees
and raised their voices in supplic1tion
to God.

was no cessation of the wild scenes.

The Independent Stage Driver.

Eastern tourists who cannot differ

driver and an eastern coachman meet
with a rude shock in the wild, and
woolly west, ana they soon learn that
the Californian is a knight of the reins
several grades higher in the social
scale than the mental Of the east.
There is an old driver at Monterey
who is determined that his patrons
shall make no mistake concerning his
exact status, and in a quiet way he
checks all attempts to make servant
of him. A short time ago he was driv-
ing party of tourists about when one
querulous old lady who had annoyed
him not little by her air Of superb
GRITTY, asked:
my man. do you know the name Of
that wild fower?"
Yep" he replied, and flicked one Of
his leaders with his whip.
She paused a moment for him to
give the name, but he merely CLICKED
to the wheelers.
Driver, do you know the name OF
that flower?" she repeated, in an i'm
perious tone.
Yep; get up there, Bally"
Again she waited and again demand.
