HE OBLIGED C9lY.
How a Reporter Became the Agent OF
His Own Defeat.


One of the qualities which gave
power to the late Senator Matthew
S. Quay of Pennsylvania was Won
derful ability to judge human ma
ture. An incident which the Brook
lyn Eagle recounts illustrates the
humorous side of Quay's ability to
turn men to his own Uses. Shortly
before General Beaver, Il personal
friend of Quay's, was nominated for
tho governorship of Pennsylvania
political writer for one of the Phila-
delphia papers went to Harrisburg
for an interview. He met Mr.. Quay
on the train.
"What are you hunting this
time :" asked the senator.
ooh, I'm going to interview Gen
eral Beaver" was the reply
''Is that so?" said Quay thought
fully. well, l wish you would
take note to him for me. 1t would
save my getting off the train there. :"
The newspaper man promised to
do SO. Mr.. Quay borrowed his pad,
wrote few words on sheet, folded
it loosely and addressed it on the
outside to General Beaver
Gust give that to him il you
will" he said, handing ii carelessly
to the writer. That is all l was
raipn 10 aau 10 him
Ushered into the veterans office
in Harrisburg, the newspaper man
asked General Beaver if he would
consent to an interview on the is
sues of the campaign.
with the greatest pleasure In the
world" was the ready reply.
"Beforo we begin" said the re-
porter, Il must give you this note
from Mr.. Quay, whom | met on the
train"
General Beaver took the note and
opened it. Ills face blo!se into n
broad smile
Il have changed my mind" he
said. 81 have decided not to be in
teryiewed today"
Then as the joke grew upon him
he laughed aloud. ooh, this is too
good to kept he cried, and handed
the note to the reporter.
1t read:
pear Beaver-Don't talk. QUAY.
Mr.. Quay had assumed that the
newspaper man. being gentleman,
would not read the loosely folded
note, and that he would give it to
General Beaver before the interview
to get it off his mind, and perhaps
to impress General Beaver with his
acquaintance with the "boss." Quay
had judged correctly, and the inter
view was not given out till he had
had time to advise his candidate.

Then let a companion take dom

can tell the piece he has taken with
out seeing it. Tell him to mentally
double the number of spots on the
domino's greater halt. That is, if
he has taken the six-three, let him
double the six, which is twelve. To
the total of the greater half of the
piece he has chosen (known to him
alone) let him add figure that you
have taken from l to 9 at random.
Let us say you choose .. He then
adds it to the former sum. GtG-l2

total he has made up by 8. lie
thus obtains los. lie alone knows
this sum; he does all the operations
in his head.
Now let him add the smaller half
of the domino he has drawn. In our
example he drew the six-three.
Hence, he adds 3, making los, which
total he announces aloud.
Now it is your turn. You remcm-
Der the number you gave him to add.
1t was 8.
Multiply by 8. 5x9=i5.

have 63. All you need to do then
is to announce that the domino that
had been drawn was six-three

This, however, he remarked, cost
rather more than 10 cente.
