Mvstifvinu Card Trick.


A simple and mystifying card trick
Is the will power trick. You let any
one shuttle the cards. then take them
into your own hand and ask another
person to cut them. Now throw them
On a*table, but as you do so get a
glimpse Of the bottom card, which is,
we will say, the nine Of hearts. Scat
ter the cards little, but carefully
note the position Of the nine of
hearts,
Now say that you have the power
to will that a person shall, unknown
to himself, select the card you want.
You can call for the nine of hearts.
Some one hands you a card without
looking at it's face. '"Thank you," you
say. "Quite right-nine of hearts"
Really, however, it is the jack of
spades; so you now ask for the jack
of spades, and get, let us say, seven
of diamonds. You then say that you
will pick card from the table your
self-the seven Of diamonds. You
take the card, however, which you
know to be the nine of hearts. You
then show the three cards, which are,
of course, the three you named, so
that it appears that you actually have
made your spectators pick out the
cards you wanted.

Proctor's Sense of Honor

United States Senator Redfeld
Proctor's strict regard for the laws,
even those of minor importance, is
we'll known. An illustration of this
happened recently. The Senator and
his son, Redfield Proctor, Jr., were
hunting rabbits in the mountains east
OF Rutland a few months ago. The
younger man, who had become separ-
ated from his father, shot a large rae
coon, and when he next met the Sena.
tor he proudly exhibited his prize
my son. said the Senator, sternly,
the open season for coon hunting has
not yet begun. Come with me-.
The Senator thereupon marched the
young man off to the residence Of q
Justice of the peace, where he ap.
peared against him. and the boy was
lined Tor the offense, the money, being
advanced by the senator himself. .

Holland Customs Unchanged.

Almost every fishing village in Hol-
land has it's special dress and it's own
quaint customs. One can see from
old Dutch pictures that these have not
varied for the last 200 years. One
most interesting place is the island
Of Marker, a tongue of land on the
margin of the Zuyder Zee,. which can
we'll be inspected in couple of hours.
1t is so little above the sea level that
the clusters of houses, or tiny villages,
are built on mounds connected by
bridges, and nearly every little house
has it's own little moat and its own
little boat-everything except the
people, is on a diminutive scale in
Holland-moored near the door, so as
to be handy in case of flood. The
houses, with the exception, of the
church and the clergyman's house, are
built of wood on high piles. They are
none of them very old, as the place
has often been flooded and burnt: in
winter Marker is often under water
and the Inhabitants use boats to pass
from one village to another. The cot

We're left lying on the prairie.
With the Indians the hunt was much
more simply conducted They did not
always penetrate a herd, but often fol.
lowed it and picked off the animals in
the rear. The hunt for which the
Poncas have made such elaborate
preparations will, of course, be a tame
affair compared with the hunts in the
days gone by, and, of course, the
sixty braves let loose upon them will
not at first attempt killing, or the
sport would be of short duration. In
any event, the last buffalo hunt is one
of great interest, and as the beasts
are now scarce and costly, it may
without fear be called the last. Then,
also, the breaking-up process of the
Indian relations is nearly completed.
IN a few years the hostile red man
will be a legend, he is fast succumb-
