Phe Chance. In Policy.

The retired poke" shopkeeper was
explaining to his interested hearers
some OF the mysteries OF his former
business.
"The chances of winning at the pol
icy game" he said. "are about like this:
You take a bushel basket and fill it
with small white beans. Then you
put one small black bean into the bas-
ket and shake the lot up. After that
go to some 'skyscraper' building, say
one about 20 stories high, and place a
penny on the sidewalk in front of it
This done, shoulder your bushel of
beans and take the elevator to the roof
of the building. Then lean over the
edge of the roof and, aiming at the
cent on the sidewalk below, dump out
the beans in the basket all together.
Then hurry down on the elevator and
rush out to the sidewalk. If you find
that the black bean has fallen upon the
penny, you win."-New York Times.

The sIlIIe.t Birds.

Dodo is the Portuguese name for
simpleton, and it is given to the silliest
bird that ever lived. Three hundred
years ago, when the Portuguese first
visited the island of Mauritius, they
found a large number of these birds.
They were about the size OF a large
swan, blackish gray in color and hav-
ing only a bunch of feathers in place
of a tail and little, useless wings.
More stupid and foolish birds could
not be imagined. They ran about max
ing n silly, kissing noise like a goose,
end the sailors easily knocked them
over with their paddles. They couldn't
fly, they couldn't swim, they couldn't
run at any great speed, and, as for
fighting, they were the greatest cow
ards in the world. They were much
too stupid to build n nest. and so they
dropped an egg and went off to let it
hatch as best it could.

You are sitting on n piazza on a hot
afternoon chatting with your friends
when suddenly the sky seems to grow
hazy and the crows stop cawing. There
is a general rush. and, though you may
not know what is the matter, you can
not help feeling uneasy.
The old natives say, Were going to
have n little SHAKE" and then the
house begins to rock, the tumblers fall
off the table, you feel deathly sick at
the stomach, and the thing is all over.
The sky clears. the crows begin their
noisy screams, and things are soon put
right again.

wouIdn,t Say obey.

The present day agitation over wheth-
er a woman may or may not say ''obey'
in the marriage service has met its
match in England. According to the
story, the bride objected to the word
"obey." Every WELL" said the bride
groom, "then object to the words for
better or worse I'll say for BETTER
but I'll be hanged if I'll tie myself to
any woman for WORSE especially when
she refuses to promise obedience" So
strong, however. is the spirit of insub-
ordination in modern woman that the
bride in this case declined to yield her
preference, and, the bridegroom being
equally persistent, the match was de-
clared off. This sounds like something
from one of Thomas Hardy's novels,
but it isn't. A London daily vouches
for its truth.

by a western editor:

vocalist and farewelllst, will come to
us for positively the last time next
year. All those who expect to die be-
fore the year after next will do well
to hear the human nightingale on this
