Many wears acc, when SUGGESTION

Many years ago, when superstition
held greater sway than now and the
Influences Of the occult and weird
were most potent, acunning negro
slave had acquired the reputation of
possessing familiar spirit and of
being able to perform many uncanny
mysteries. His fellow slaves held
him in great awe, and even his mas
ter grew to belief in his powers.
This finally led to a wager, in which
the greater part of the masters for
tune was staked on the negro's di-
vining ability A barrel was placed
on the lawn and a live coon placed
under the barrel Then the negro
soothsayer was sent for and told to
inform the crowd what was under
the barrel. He tried in various ways
to escape the exposure, but without
success. Realizing that he was cor,
nered, he leaned on the barrel de-
jectedly and remarked, ''Wel,
you've got this old coon at last, :"
whereupon a great shout applauded
what was considered Sambos re-
,rnarkable astuteness, and his repu-
tation was forever firmly establish
