ONE OF AERRMANN,s TRICKS.
A Bit of stAIind Reading" by the Fa-
nous Magician.

A Bit of "HIind Reading" by the Fa-
NOUS Magician.
sThe late Alexander Hermann always
went fixed for an impromptu exhibition"
said a theatrical press agent who was
once associated with the famous ma
gician, "and in the early part Of his ca
reer he would go to extraordinary pains
to lay his fences long in advance for
startling effects. In that way he was
frequently able to do things that seemed
next door to supernatural, and the result
was no end of valuable advertising. In
later years, when he became celebrated
and systematic booming was no longer
necessary, the old man, as we used to call
him, would often refer to these exploits
and laugh heartily over the mystifcation
they had occasioned.
"On one occasion, to give you an illus
tration of his patience and forethought.
he was in popular bar in Pittsburg and
CHANGED to notice handbook lying on
desk behind the cigar counter. The cover
bore a printed number, which was in
plain sight, and when he got outside
Hermann quietly made a memorandum
of it in his notebook, together with the
address of the place. There was not
more than one chance in hundred that
the information would ever be of any
service to him, and he simply filed it
away, so to speak, for possible future
reference.
"Well, fully six months afterward,
when he was playing a return date in the
city, he piloted a party of friends one day
into this identical bar, and the proprietor,
who was present, was called up and in
troduced. All hands sat down at table
to have a bottle of wine, and, as usual,
Hermann was urged to give an example
of his skill. He performed several neat
tricks, and, remarking that he would
wind up with a little exhibition of mind
reading, asked the cafe proprietor to
think Of some number that could after
ward be verified. Take the number of
your handbook he suggested, If you re-
member what it is I don't recall it off
hand, but can easily find out said the
barman, and going over to his safe he I'M
locked an inside compartment and pri-
vately inspected the book. All right he
said when he returned to the table; 4 am
thinking of the number now
Hermann took him by the hand,
looked him in the eyes in his peculiarly
impressive fashion and said, THE num-
Der is 129,068.' That's right gasped the
cafe proprietor in an awestruck voice.
He was absolutely stupefed with amaze
ment, and SO, for that matter, were the
others in the party. The fact that the
book had been locked in the safe and the
apparent impossibility of Hermann
knowing anything about it in advance
made the feat seem almost miraculous.
1t is talked about in the house to this
day."-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Nature has just one pigment on her
palette with which she produces all the
marvellous tints of beauty, and that one
pigment is the blood. The shell like pink
beneath the finger nails, the delicate rose
of the cheek, the cherry ripeness Of the
lips, the irridescent brilliance of the eyes
are all produced by the blood. just as
the permanence of beauty painting will
depend upon the purity of the colors with
which it is painted, so the permanence of
beauty depends on the purity OF the blood
Paint, powder and cosmetics won't avail
to preserve beauty. Beauty begins in
the blood. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is true beautiier, because it
provides for nature that pure blood with
which alone she can paint The use of
this medicine will cense the skin, heighten
the complexion, brighten the eyes, and
give to face and form that radiance OF
health which is the greatest charm of
beauty. DR.. Pierces Pleasant Pellets are
very effective in Kidding the system OF
clogging residuum, which accumulates
with constipated habit.

1T STAGGERED THEM.
Employees In n Department Store
Were Dazed by a $1,000 Bill.

Were Dazed by a $1,000 Bill.
There was one division of one of the
largest department stores along Sixth
avenue that suspended business for
half an hour one day last week. A
woman bought some handkerchiefs
and pair of towels. The clerk footed
her bill, 40 cents, and the woman laid
a paper bill on the counter.
The clerk, girl, looked at it hastily.
1t read $1,000. She had never seen
thousand dollar bill before in her life,
and the amazement it caused made her
speechless. With her mouth open in
wonder she made out the check, show
ing that 40 cents was to be taken out
of $1,000. The girl who acts as cashier
fell back in her chair when she saw the
bill. She didn't have change for it,
and after gazing at it in wondering adj
miration for moment she rushed out
to find the manager. He asked for the
customer who had offered it, and the
girl led the way to where the woman
was waiting. The clerk had recovered
from her surprise enough to point out
the customer.
The manager said. MADAM. what
did you buy?"
The woman named over the small
articles.
"What did you give the clerkf"
81 gave her a dollar bill"
'No; you gave her this, and it is
worthless" the manager said sternly.
Precipitation stood out on the wom-
ans face as she looked in wonder at
the bill She fished a dollar out of
handbag she carried and paid. By that
time she had figured out an explana-
ton. She has son attending bust
ness college, where they have mock
transactions in business and paper to
look as much like money as the coun-
terfeiting laws of the country will per-
NIT are used. The clerks had been so
stunned by the big figures that they
did not see that 1t was not money at
all, but fake bill.-New York Herald.

 CAREER IN CONGRESS.
 Congressman Mckinley held his place in the natiqpal legislature for fourteen years. His first notable speech at Washington was made in 1878 in opposition to tariff measure proposed by Fernando Wood. On the elevation of Garfield to the senate and then to the White Honse two years la ter, Mckinley was given a place on the ways and means committee, which opened the portals to his new career as the eXpounder of the tariff. One of the first opportunities to distinguish himself in this line came in 1884 in the discussion of the Mills tariff bill, and the Ohio congressman leaped into na- tional fame on that incident Mckin- ley's bearing and delivery were inim- itable dignitied but easy, familiar but elevated, thoroughly earnest and car rying proof of personal conviction, and withal so amiable manner as to win unprejudiced listeners.
 Congressman Me Kinley was candi- date against Thomas B. Reed in 1889 for the speakership, but fate, wiser than he, reserved him for the chair mauship of the ways and means com mittee, the second highest place, and sometimes the first, in the house. It was thus that the way was paved for the Mckinley tariff bill of 1890, which has had such an incalcuiable influence on the affairs of the United States. That measure was the eXpre Jsion of the Ohio statesman's protection dog ma.
 In 1890 he was defeated for re-elec- tion by 303 votes The following year he was nominated for governor of Ohio and elected, and reelected in 1898,

HIS MARRIED LIFE.

In 1871 Major Mckinley, then a young lawyer just beginning to make his way upward in the world, was mar ried to Ida SaXton, who came of an old Ohio family long prominent in Canton MT Mckinley was an ideal husband, and the early years of their married life were supremely happy ones. The loss of their two daugh- ters. who died in childhood, brought sorrow into their lives. Mrs. McKin- ley has never ceased to mourn their loss, and it has been one of her pas sions to call them back to memory in all the best moments of her life-and indeed she has brooded over them till often the president found it necessary to seek to divert her mind. His alice. tion for his wife has been one of the controlling influences in Mir. McRin- ley's life, and especially during the ly impaired his sollcitouS regard for her comfort and wellbeing has been touching in the extreme. Since Mrs. McKinley's severe illness in San Fran cisco last spring her health has been more than ever precarious, and it is a question of grave doubt whether she will long survive the shock of her hus- bands death.
