the Alaska boundary, and that on that
the commissioners could not agree.
There was no truth in the story that
negotiations had been abandoned. He

He Had No Faith In That Particular +
Egg.
Here Is an entirely new story about
the late Col. Ingersoll. which Is quite
as good and fully as genuine as the
usual run OF them, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. When Ingersoll was a
young man he went into a short-order
restaurant In Peoria and called for an
egg. You are an agnostic, l think,
said the waiter, who was also college
student in the winter. and had just as
sociated himself with the restaurant
business. Your habit of thinking has
not betrayed you this time-I am" re-
piled Ingersoll. Then you do not
have faith in the integrity OF this eggT
quoted the waiter. Il have no faith in
its integrity" replied Bob. II have
no faith in anything. l believe only in
what see or in what is proved to me-"
II have faith in the egg" said the stu
dent, and he regarded the colonel with
sad eyes. my faith tells me that 1t
contains yolk." my doubt admits
nothing OF the kind" said the agnostic.
So the student broke the egg. and, 10!
1t contained chicken! But the fact Is
the agnostic took an unfair advantage
of the student. He had eaten at that
restaurant before.

seem to be the Characteristic habits OF

and connection OF letters, and other
significant points. The same process

is to break up the writing SO that let

be compared In detail when placed side

fectly clear. II any Of the letters show
signs OF hesitation or retouching. a.

are photographed through microscopes.
BY thus enlarging. retouches or trac-

summarizes the results. numbering

as they occur. In exceptional circum-

go before a Jury with blackboard and
pencil. and show exactly how q forger

In the current number Of the Nine

says British rife shooting suffers by
the Britons' preference for long range
shooting. He points to the defeat OF

OF eight competing teams Britain was
fourth in the prone position. fourth in
the kneeling position. and bad eighth

the seventh place in the aggregate.
This is due. he thinks, to the British
