You may cause a ring to shift from
one hand to another, and make it go
on any finger required on the other
hand, while somebody holds both your
arms in order to prevent communica-
tion between them, by attending to
these instructions: Desire some lady
in the company to hand you a gold
ring, recommending her at the same
time to make a mark on it that she
may know it again. Have a gold ring
of your own, which fasten by small
piece Of catgut string to a watch bar
rel, and sew it to the left sleeve Of your
coat. Take the ring that is given you
in your right hand, then putting, with
dexterity, the other ring fastened to
the watch barrel near the entrance Of
your sleeve, draw it privately to the
fingers ends of your left hand. During
this operation, hide the ring that has
been lent to you between the fingers
Of your right hand, and fasten it dex-
terously on little hook sewed for the
purpose, on your waistcoat. After that

left hand; then ask the company on
which finger of the other hand they
wish it to pass. During this interval,
and as soon as the answer has been
given, put the aforementioned finger
on the little hook in order to slip the
ring on it; at that moment let go the
other ring, by opening your fingers.
The spring which is in the watch bar
rel, being confined no longer, will con-
tract, and make the ring slip under the
sleeve, without anybody perceiving it,
not even those who hold your arms; as
their attention will be occupied to pre-
vent your hands from communicating.
After this operation, show the assem-
bly, that the ring is come on the other
hand; and make them remark that it
is the same that has been lent to you
or that the mark is right.
Much dexterlty must be made use
of to succeed in this entertaining
trick that the deception may not be
suspected.-New York World.

When the Baby Ran Away.

Dear little Hilary Frances. She is
suca tiny baby, less than year and
a half old, and small for her size. But
she is as sweet as she is tiny, and

excitement the day she ran away.
Hilary's parents live on the third
floor of tall Chicago apartment build

people whom Hilary's parents are very
fond of, and dear old friend lives ex-
actly above. And this was the way
It happened when the baby ran away.

TO fetch Hilary. The lady downstairs
wanted to see how sweet she looked
in the new little hood her mamma was
lust finishing. And when Hilary's
mamma got upstairs there wasn't a
trace Of the baby there!
The nurse said she had left the baby

IN HARoUN AL RAscHrD's ROLE

the People.


the People.
King Peter of Servia has been play
ing Haroun al Raschid writes the
Belgrade correspondent OF the London
Express. The other evening he
changed into muftl and went out for a
stroll in the streets, and finally en-
tered a little wine shop, where several
workmen were playing cards. He was,
however, recognized and loudly
cheerel by the people.
Another morning he got up very
early and went down to the market
place, where he bought some fruit
At one stall he found that the cheese
was priced too high and so told the
old woman under the umbrella. She
Immediately set out a long list Of
complaints, stating that the taxes were
too high. The king listened in silence
and then took his departure.
The following day the king drove in
an ordinary cab to the military hospi-
tai. He applied to the porter, who
did not recognize him, for permission
to see the wards. This was granted,
and the king wandered through, talk
izg to the patients. Presently he found
/. that none of the doctors were there.
He asked where they were, and
learned that the one who was on duty
was in a coffee house opposite playing
cards. Without giving mis- name he
sent across for him. A very rude reply
came back that the doctor could not
have his party disturbed So the king
wrote his name in full in the visitors
book and made note of the doctors
name in his pocketbook.
From the hospital his majesty went
to one of the public schools On his
arrival he found all the children in
the playground. He asked where the
teacher was, and found that he had
sent a message that he could not come
till later in the afternoon.
King Peter determined to see that
through and went across to a wine
shop. He spent half an hour till the
time was due for the teacher to arrive,
Then he returned and again found that
the teacher had not yet arrived, so he
took a piece of chalk and wrote on
one of the blackboards: King Peter
has been here" and then left the
school,

What the Chickens Read.

Raymond counted again to make
sure. Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one-
only three more days to watt He
went around to the little glass win
dows again, and peeped in at the rows
and rows of white eggs waiting in
Uncle Loren's incubator to turn into
little soft fluff-ball chickens. There
were two hundred and forty-three eggs
in there-two hundred and forty-three
chickens, think of that! For Raymond
would have it that every egg was going
to turn into" a chicken. Uncle
Loren wasn't so hopeful.
Raymond had never seen an incu-
bator before, or, to tell the truth, very
many little new chicks, so it is hardly
to be wondered at that he spent most
Of his out-of-school time near enough
to those little glass windows to run
and look Unexpectedly on those last
three days.
Zone chicken might reckon wrong,
and come out head of time" he
laughed. Il don't 'spose all chickens
eggs, I mean-are good 'rithmetic
scholars any more than all folks"
On the twentieth day Uncle Loren
set up little fences in the egg-tray-
one long one all the way down the
middle, and a little "cross-road" fence
to divide one of the sides into little
yards.
That's to separate the different
families of chickens" Uncle Loren ex.
planned. You see, all the eggs are
marked in lead-pencil but the little
chaps themselves won't be! They'd
get mixed up"
"You can't play in my back
yard - cock-a-doodle-doo-oo!" Ray
mond laughed.
Raymond was almost always laugh
ing, and he dearly loved to make other
people laugh, too. That was the way
the joke came about. Uncle Loren
had the egg-tray out Cooling" ant
had gone away somewhere to hunt VI
another thin strip Of wood. One little
fence-the longer one-was already
built" and separated the rows Of
white eggs into two lengthwise yards.
Raymond stood looking at it reflective
ly. Then suddenly he whistled little
low whistle that sounded as if it were
laughing. He had thought of some
thing funny.
When Uncle Loren came back, Ray
mond had disappeared That after
noon mamma wrote a note to hi
teacher, asking her to dismiss hin
early on account of the chicken tina
might hatch head of time; for, 0
course Raymond must be there to SCI
him do it. Fortunately the real hatch
day was Saturday; and all day loni
how the chickens Matched out! Ray
mond scarcely left the little glass win
dows except at dinner time, and thel
he could not afford time to eat hi
cottage pudding.
1t was not until the next day still
that Uncle Loren opened the door
and drew out the trayful of livel
chicks and scattered eggshells. Som
Of the little fellows were standin
looking up at the board fence wit
an intent air, as if their hands wer
in their pockets and they were readin
something up there. What! Wer
they? For there was something print

on his glasses to read it; and then HOY

Uncle Loren read printed in "crool

SHY ON WATER.
A Kick On That Accoul
From the Carson Sink

Lieutenant Governor Allen was a.
mong the arrivals Of yesterday. coming
from the home ranch in Churchill
county. Mr. Allen states that water
supply in the lower end Of the valley
Is extremely shy. and that the farmers
will not cut what they should from the
acreage cultivated. says the Appeal.
Lem is Of the opinion that the farm
ers Of the Upper Carson are using
NOR. than their share of the water.
as the acreage Is increasing up the
valley and decreasing down where he
lives. He is of the opinion that the
river al his ranch in a few days will be
completely dry, as 1t is falling rapidly.
On a number of occasions during the
past few years the river has gone as
dry as a wagon road, and It points TO
the same condition this summer. The
lack OF rains have made the stock
ranges extremely dry, which will nee
essilate the feeding of cattle earlier
than usual. Lem states that there
has not been a drop Of moisture fail on
his section since February, which has
made the ranges and hill feed exceed
ingly scarce. In Paradise Valley Mr..
AL en- states that the dry condition is
almost alarming as the feed and the
fields are as dry as a California wheat
field at this time of the year. Lem.
like the rest Of the farm ers in Church
Ill Valley. Is a~nxiously awaiting the
new irrigation canal. which is headed
their way. The big canal is a SURF go
and before many years he declares
that section will be the most proserous
in The State. Already hundreds OIL
applications for land have been made,
which means a rapid settlement Of the
section. The canal will pass through
LENS land and he believes It will dc
him no harm.
