TIE MIRROR TRICK.
How Two Drurnmers Worked II on u
Hotel Clerk.

Two drummers few nights ago put up
job on the clerk Of large hotel, and as
a result the money for the board for three
days, which will he charged to their en-
ploycrs, will 60 into their own pockets.
This hotel has many large mirrors, and it
was upon this that the two men. who are
regular patrons Of the place, relied to get
their three DAYS board for nothing. Sauu-
tering up to the desk one remarked:
1T is II pity SO much was wasted on
these mirrors. especially as only the upper
half is OF any use

You are wrong replied the drummer.
II am right" insisted the clerk
"Wcll. III tell YOU what l will do. I'll
bet you the amount Of my bill and Johns
here that if you stand FIVE feet from that
long mirror there that ! can cover the
bottom half Of il, and you will still see
your feet and your full length rcproduc-
ton in the glass" said the drummer.
IAN riSLt, hut there is no catch, no
play Of vortsY' said the clerk, getting
suspicious. Hc WAS assured there was
not and sent for tablecloth. When it
was brought quite n crowd had gathered
about the mirror and the drummers had
made several other BEES.
The clerk stood FIVE feet from the mir
ror, and tho two drummcrS stretched the
cloth five feet from the floor across its
face, and the whole figure Of the clerk
was still revealed in the mirror. The
clerk and the others who had wagered
paid up, after which one OF the drum
mers remarked:

About three years back they sent in "A
notice to the effect that, unless for the
future each householder should contribute
to their funds two Groschen instead of
one, they would emigrate in a body

the townsfolk agreed to the demand and
the strike was averted.-I.ondon Globe.

The directors Of the Barre Railroad

business II years. The capital stock WaA
$1,000 mp TO last year when it was in
creased to $500 900, the stock being issued
to take care Of the floating debt, owing
to the fact that the company was greatly

part a freight road. The business has
been very large for the past few years,
