The KING OF HANDOUTS.

How Harry tOudIni, American. Sur
prik ed the British.
When Harry Houdini. the American
king OF handouts, arrived in England.
he tried to arrange for an exhibit OF
his skill at Scotland Yard but the
authorities refused to allow him an
opportunity of putting on or taking Off
official handouts, says. London NJ. A.
p. So, accompanied by a skepticai
London manager. he paid an ordinary
call as an American visitor to the
police headquarters. Mr.. Houdini.
after making the usual remarks on
everything be saw and heard. casually
asked a question about a pair of hand
cuffs The guide took them down and
answered:
"Oh these are handouts impossible
to remove"
Houd!ni was greatly interested, and
the incident closed by the American
visitor requesting his guide to lock the
handouts on his wrists. Then he
turned his back and succeeded in get
ting them off In couple of minutes.
One of Houdini's strangest adven-
lures happened at a big hotel in St
Paul, Mimi, where he was very we'll
known. To his surprise, he found that
couple of men occupying the rooms
on either side OF his own appeared TO
be mounting guard over him. At first
he only suspected this. but after few
days he was perfectly sure that one
or the other of his neighbors Swallowed
his every movement. One afternoon,
when Houdini was sitting in his own
room, he heard the sound OF scuffilng
outside the door. Flinging it open, he
discovered his two unknown friends
grasping a third man, who had evil
IDENTITY been wearing a long dark cape
that was dragged on one side, showing
that he was heavily handcuffed.
Were a couple of detectives, Mr..
Houdini," painted one of the men.
''This fellow made his escape from Jail
some days ago. We knew that be
wouldn't dare to go to a locksmith to
get his handouts removed, and we
suspected that he might come to you"

Sunday Habits.

The average man does himself so
much harm on Sunday that he does
not recover until the following Wednes-
day. In the first place, he loafs
around the house. instead of being ac-
tive, as on weekdays. In the next
place. he cats his breakfast later than
usual. and his dinner earlier, and the
result Is that he is knocked out until
Wednesday. The best thing to do on
Sunday is to conform to your usual
habits as much as possible.-

THROUGH A GLASS DOOR.
Jesse White Plunged to Escape
Cato's Knife.

Triton, Ga, Aug. 20.-Pursued by a
drunken and Infatuated comrade who
was slashing at him with every step
with an open knife, Jesse White plung-
ed through the glass front door of L.
S. Shepherd & Co.'s store last night.
White and a companion, w. L. Cato,
had been dividing a key of beer with
a crowd of congenial spirits, and after
leaving the others a difficulty arose
over some frivolous matter, and Cato
drew his knife and rushel upon White,
who, penned up without avenue of es-
cape, turned and dashed through the
glass upper half Of the store door.
officers Parker and Bowen, who ar
rived a few minutes later, found him
covering in the back part of the store,
begging some one not to let the man
cut him again. In the confusion Cato
made his escape, but the officers think
they will get him soon.
That White did not have any time
to waste is proved by a cash in his
back just cutting the skin, about four
inches long, from Cato's knife. He is
also badly cut about the hands and
face by the shattered glass, and a
cash several inches long in his thigh
is probably from the same source.
White lives at the cotton mills where
he was carried after his wounds were
dressed. Cato is a timer, who came
from Macon not long ago.
