A M"'' Can Perform.
After you have practiced this
trick until you can perform it easily
you will be able to surprise the boys
and girls before whom you exhibit
it:
Borrow large handkerchief.
Pass it around for every one to ex-
anime, SO as to assure themselves
that it is all right.
When it is returned to you, you
will give it one grand flourish after
another, and each time you do so
you will produce from it long
feather.
That is the trick.
Now how to do it?
This way: Borrow from your
mother four plumes from her box
of millinery odds and ends.
Take off your coat, hold two
feathers in each hand, the stems Of
them grasped in your fingers and
the feather part pressed close to
your arms. Then put your coat on
again, being careful that the sleeves
cover the feathers, stems and all,
All this is done, of course, before
hand.
Now, when the handkerchief has
been passed around your audience
and returned to you all you have to
do is to flourish the handkerchief
skillfully, first over the left cuff,
while with the right hand you quick
ly draw out the feathers, one at a
time, from the left sleeve; then over
the right cuff, with a similar sleight
of hand performance with your left
hand.
If done well the trick cannot be
detected by your audience.

According to despatch to the
Boston Globe the life OF the license
local option law depends largely on
the result of the Rutlond caucus to-
night. DR.. j. A. Mead Of Rutland
defeated the Clement following in
the spring caucuses for delegates to
the state convention, which chose
delegates to the Republican national
convention, and the old prohibition
law-perhaps tinkered up little and
stripped of some of its sterner
featurss-looms up in the possibility
ol{Mead's success in defeating the
nomination of local option senators.
Anticipation runs high in the minds
of those who can look back any
where near halt-century period.
The Rutland Herald admits that this
prohibition program may succeed.
1t says:
"f DR.. Mead becomes lieutenant
governor and the county is repre-
sented in the senate by prohibition
delegation, Rutland county will
have five votes for repeal in the next
senate. This will throw the senate
into the prohibition column, and the
new INV will of courGe be r,ro,n,,tl,,
swept from the statute books as the
house will be prohibition. The To-
cal optionists cannot he relied upon
their fight of "fwo' years %ega0f was
simply to give the towns choice to
experiment upon local option and
license. If that experiment is fail
ure, then, the local option party
would not be justified in attempting
to force an unwelcome law down the

No little excitement was caused by the announce

There Is no danger of general spread OF the
disease from this Bronx case. Such cases are re-
ported frequently. and on this occasion we adopted
the regular system All the persons living in the
house where the Italian died Immediately vac
cnated and their and effects Thoroughly
furnigated. A census was taken of these persons
and they will be watched closely from day to day
until We are convinced that none of them has
taken the disease
"WiI you be able to prosecute the Tony who
figured in The Bronx the fake physician
who treated the dead Italian?'' was asked.
We'll. that is difficult question to answer until
we can get hold Of this Tony, and hear what he
has to say. and We will get him, all right
