Then his eye caught the envelope, ad-

HOW IT is DONE.

We lay the cord again and declare
that If the partner places the index
finger on the same spot of the figure
the finger will be caught and the cord
will not be removed. The partner
places the finger on 7, we pull, and
the cord is actually held fast.
Solution; The partner has not no
ticed that we have changed the loops
of the cord. By comparing the two
figures in our illustration you will no
tice the change. In the figure on the
left right end of the cord forms first
the loop A, while in the figure on the
right 1t forms the loop behind it, so
that in this case the loop A belongs to
the left end of the cord.

MARK TwAIN's FIRST WINNING.
How He Bossed the Job of Rolling
Stones Down 1nclines.

In the Century Rev. Henry M. Whar-
ton tells this anecdote of Mr.. Clemens
US boy, which he heard in Hannibal,
the humorist's old home:
A favorite sport of the boys was to
go to hill near an old mill and start
loose rock down the steep side until,
gathering force and velocity, it finally
went crashing into the water below.
On one occasion an ill-directed missile
assailed the mill and made hole
through 1t like the path of thirty
pounder. The miller ran out and lifted
up his voice in prayer, beseeching
heaven to spare him and his property
promising If the prayer was answered.
never to ask another favor of the Al
mighty while he lived. One immense
boulder, partly buried in the hillside,
promised to the mind of young Sam
lot of fun. He called the boys together
and thus addressed them: "Fellows,
this is a bigger rock than ever rolled
down any hill; it will take lots of WORK
to move her. but when she starts all the
world can't stop her. We can lift ner
out. will be the boss, and you fellows
work, and we will see the greatest
thing that ever happened" Many sun
days were spent in toiling at the sides
