While Bud and Hank were
strolling along the street, they
came to a corner where fakir had
placed his little stand. He was
busily engaged when Bud came
up and stood looking on.
The crowd had just started to
gather around very slowly when
the fakir saw Bud, and being very
much amused at the appearance
of our friend, the fakir hit upon a
new plan to draw a crowd. He
motioned to Bud to come up on
the stand, and as he did so, the
fakir said: "Young fellow, I want
man to advertise me and my
medicine. If you will content to
help me this evening [ will pay
you we'll for it,
"W'at yer want me to do?" said
Bud.
"WeIl you see [ want man to
stand here and tell the people
what our business is and then we
can get a big crowd and sell lots
of medicine. Seer"
"Yep; how much will yer give
me?"
"Well you see the job is an
easy one, but if you succeed in
getting large crowd, l will give
you five dollars for your work.
Will you take it?"
"Yep!"
"Well, now I want you to stand
up there on the stand and take off
your hat and tell the crowd that
there will be a grand open air con-
cert. Tell them that we come in
town today and will stay a fort
night and that we have the best
and the only remedies that will
not kill, but will cure all diseases.
Tell them that there will be sing
ing and lots of music. Now mind,
you want to speak loud so that the
audience can hear you. You must
start out by addressing yourself to
the audience-ladies and gentle
men. Now be lively and remem-

Lawyer Chapman of Los
Angeles was once associated with
Senator Stephen M. White in a
certain case. Chapman loves a
good dinner, and one day, just
before the big case was to come
up in court, he ate more than he
ought. The next day he was
sick, and White took a doctor
around to see him. Chapman was
groaning. with pain, and the doctor
was puzzled. At last the doctor
noticed red spot on Chapman's
cheekbone, and came to the con-
clusion that Chapman needed a
dentist, and told him SO:

BUD AND TIE FAKIR.

Cali right mister. I'll tell the
whole dom thing"
Bud had learned an Irish dialect
once in school, the title of which
was "The Fakir." He had heard
that the gentleman who he had
hired out to for the evening was a
fakir. Bud did not understand
what fakir meant as he mounted
the stand. The words Of the dia-
lect came to him once more and
he started in very loud voice:
Ladies' and gentlemen, and lit
tie kids. Sure [ stand before you
tonight as Tim the fakir, the man
who has a medicine that will cure
colds, corns, bunyons and sore
throat; another remedy which
cures aches, pains and cold in
the head, and still another which
will cure toothache, earache and
rheumatism. Now ladies and gen.
tlemen and little kids, we wish
you to fully understand that we
are the only fakirs on the road.
We come by day and fly by night,
and everything that is to be sold
tonight is guaranteed to put you
out of misery. If it won't cure, it
is sure to kill"
''Say you! hold on there!'
shouted the fakir, who had not
been paying much attention to
Buds address, but had just caught
his last words, what are you try
ing to do? Look at the crowd;
they are all leaving. Get out of
that" and the fakir made a motion
as if to catch hold of Bud. On
seeing the motion Bud quickly
grabbed the old straw hat and in
his haste he sprang over the rail
ing of the stand and quickly dis
appeared around a corner.
The fakir tried to convince those
that still remained that the young
former chap had made a false
statement in regard to his medi-
cine, but they had their own
opinion of the case and soon the
crowd vanished and the fakir
dropped out Of sight.

Weather prophets all agree that the
coming winter will be of unusual
severity, though few of them will say
just how cold it is going to be- An
drew Jackson Devoe, the New Jer-
Bey expert who foretold the Galveston
storm a year ago, however, pins him
self down to dates and figures. Mr..
Devoe is famous, not only for his re-
markably successful predictions, but
also because of his methods, which are
peculiar to himself. His deductions
are made entirely from astronomical
data, and he claims that he can anti
cipate the formation of a storm or any
condition of the atmosphere, while by
the method which the government en-
ploys one has to wait until such a con-
dition has already formed before
making any prediction about it. Mr..
Devoe, says the Cleveland Plain Deal
er, predicted very cold fall and a
severe and early winter. The coolest
weather might be expected, he said,
in December, which would also be
very stormy. BY cold weather, Mr..
Devoe said, he meant what is popu-
larly known as zero weather, and he
promised it with good sleighing. Win
ter, according to Mr.. Devoe, will start
in to do business about Nov. 8, when
we will have a cold wave which will
make last winters weather seem very

Future Of Chine

In any resume of the elements that
have contributed to the progress OF
China, it is simply just to alludes to
the labors Of the missionaries of all
nations and all denominations. Truth
full history must say of them that they
preceded commerce, that their literary
and educational labors have instructed
foreigners as to China and China as
to foreigners, and that their exalted
philanthropy has begot among the
poor and the rich great measure OF
respect and confidence. While it is
proper to give to the imperial mari
time customs. to the ministers and
consuls, and to the great commercial
houses full praise for their labors, we
should not forget gratefully to remem-
Der those unobtrusive, but influential,
agents Of progress, whose inspiration
came from a boiler source than a de-
sire for gain.
The question OF the future Of the
missionaries is clear-cut now, and it
lies outside of any consideration as to
the intrinsic value of their work. 1t
is this: Conceding all the good that
is claimed for missionary work, should
it. in view OF the present condition Of
China, be abandoned? That question
is to be answered. In the beginning
we must recognize the undoubted fact
that the Catholic powers the pope,
