The Trickster Tricked.

A card sharper who had evidently
been doing the races joined small
group of farm servants in a public
house. Failing to interest the com
pany in the mysteries of three-card
monte, he exclaimed, in desperate ton /:
"Wel, look here, gents; I'll bet any one
of you five shillings I can cut the ace
of spades, any of you to shuttle and ar
range a deck of cards as you like" at
the same time producing the pack,
which he pushed toward calored vic
tim, who agreed to accept the wager,
took up the pack, shuff1ed them and
then placed them on the table.
The sharper then took his knife and
cut his pack clean through, at the same
time saying: There! I've cut the
ace"
NAV you hain't, neither" quietly
said the darby, grinning. ''The ace O.

their dogs to church and leave them

the other nOt-seemed to enter into

College Graduates Increasing.
The graduating lists Of the American
colleges this year show an increase of
70 per cent. 1t seems probable that
all the institutions of learning will
have more than their usual quota Of
students next fall. From time to time
the demand for college men in all
branches of business as we'll as in the
professions Is gradually increasing.
Our colleges graduate men and women
with practical as well as artistic ideals.
A notion prevails that girls who have
been so fortunate as to complete a
course in college do not make good
wives. This notion is devoid of COM
mon sense. The more brain a man or
woman can put into his or her work
the better that work will be. This
rule holds as surely in the responsible
work of housekeeping, in social rela-
tons and in domestic economy as in
