stood the Inst ructiOns Given
.ME Him by His Mistress.

When the Andersons went to Cali
fornia they rented small furnished
house and engaged Chinese man-of-
all-work. The house was well stu.
ated and tastefully furnished, and
Wing Lee proved to be a good cook.
clean and respectful.
As soon as the Andersons were set.
tied the nejghbors began to call, and
it was then that the fact was discov-
cred that Wing was absolutely devoid
of any ideas as to the ushering in or
outEof guests. So one morning the
ladies determined to instruct him.
Providing him with tray, Miss An.
derson went out, rang the bell, was
shown into the parlor and waited
while the calm Chinaman carried her
card to Mrs. Anderson.
This was repeated several times,
until the ladies were quite satisfied
that Wing was perfect in his role.
That evening at $3.50 the bell rang.
Wing shufied majestically to the
door, while mother and daughter
hung breathlessly over the banisters
to watch the result of their teaching.
They heard a gentleman's voice
ask if the ladies were at home. They
saw Wing present his tray and re-
ceive a card with an air which made
them mentally pat each other on the
back, and then they saw him draw
a card from his sleeve.
'Mine!" gasped Miss Anderson.
Wing compared the two carefully,
and, returning the one which the
caller had just handed him, he re-
marked blandly: "Tickee no good.
No can come" and calmly shut the
door IN the fact of the astonisLed
guest.-Littlc Chronicle.

let the egg and the ring fall into
the glass without your touching
either of them.
How are you going to do it?
1t is the easiest thing in the world,
if you do it in the right way. All
You have to do is to flick the corner
of the card with the second finger OF
your right hand, and if this is done
exactly in the direction of the level
of the card it will fly out and let the
ring and egg drop into the glass. The
water@in the glass will prevent the
egg from breaking.
A similar trick may be performed
with a, card and a coin balanced on
the forefnger of your left hand. The
coin mustsb be placed exactly in the
center of the card, which will be over
the tip of your finger, and when you
flick the card away the coin will rest
on your finger.-Broolzlyn Eagle.

HIT BEFORE THE SHOT.
an Exhibition of MArve10us
Workmanship.

It was in a downtown theater recently,
and the climax of a tragedy was approach
ing. Leading up toward this supreme mo-
ment, the villain, lolling in summer
garden, had been challenged to duel with
the hero, says the Chicago Tribune.
Fight me! Fight mel" and the villain,
too full for further utterance at the mo.
ment, pointed toward a bottle standing
empty on table thirty feet away. g.,
The hero turned with supercilious glance
and looked.
"Watch!" ,
It was the villains cue word, and he was
so intent upon seeing that none of its
laconic force was lost on the audience that
he must have been slow with the action.
just as his revolver appeared from rear
pocket and was rising in the villains zight
hand.
''Bing-le- ting-le-ting
The neck Of the bottle burst in a dozen
pieces and clinked to the floor; the aston
ished villain, with the unexploded weapon
in his hand, stood there with fallen jaw and
lowering arm, while the gallery simply
went to pieces in the delirium of it's joy.

With wineglass half full of water,
an egg, a ring and playing card
you may perform very neat and
pretty trick for the amusement of

Lay the card on top of the glass
and on the card place a good-sized
finger ring. Now balance the egg,
small end upward, by placing it en-

Thus you will have unique strlc-

skowhegan Grange Fair.

At their hall on Pleasant street, last
evening, Skowhegan Grange, No. 208,
Patrons Of Husbandry, opened their three
days fair by giving female minstrel
show. The audience was one of the
largest ever in the hall, completely fill
ing every seat and all the available
standing room.
The setting of the first part was very
pretty. la the rear a large American
flag was gracefully draped and on either
end of the procenium arch were taste
fully arranged pine trees. Japanese
lanterns suspended from the flys shed a
subdued light over the snowy costumes
of the principals and chorus, the whole
giving a very handsome color effect.
The first number after the chorus WAS
"Ben Bolt" arranged for four male
voices, which was we'll rendered Then
Miss Hazel Leavitt sang Louisiana Lue"
in pleasing manner. Almon Sanford
was heard In comic darkey ditty and
Misses Ethel and Edith Bernard gave a
duet, concluding with dainty cake
walk. A. R. Smiley delivered a stump
speech on ELECTRICITY and the two
little pickaninies In their song, "Mamie's
Little Yaller GAL" were loudly applaud
ed Mrs. Lizzie Green made the great
est kind of bit with her song, "Dat's
de Way to Spell Chicken" as did Nay S.
Varney with his offering. Mrs. E. C.
Dunton was heard to good advantage 10
"Pd Leave Ny Happy Home for YOU"
The song FAREWELL" now being used
by Madam Patti, was last on the pro-
gram, but it was by no means least. II
was charmingly sung by Miss Jessie
Maddocks, whose sweet voice gives
much promise for the future. "Way
Down on the Swanee River by the en-
tire chorus concluded the entertainment.
Down stairs in the banquet hall were
number of well arranged tables on which
were displayed useful AID fancy articles
10 great variety as well as the products
of the farm. They met with a ready
sale during the afternoon and before the
performance.
The fair will be continued this even
ing when the one act comedy "Aunt
Susan Jones" will be presented, follow
ed by the farce in two acts "a Box Of
Monkeys" On Friday the chicken pie
supper will be served, followed by a
social. Lees orchestra furnished music
last night and will be present during the
remainder of the fair.
