Had Up the Congressman.

Representative Littlefel1 tells Of a
"bad quarter Of an hour" he recently
experienced in New York. He was Oh
his way hcme from Washington, &C
conapanied by his wife. They stopped
over in New York for a few hours,
and, having completed their shopping:
they stepped into a restaurant for q
light lunch before going to their train
When they had finished, and the wait,
er had presented a check for sixty
cents, MIR. L~ittleiald felt for hia
pocketbcok. 1t was gone, and not a
cent did either Of them have. He
tried to telephone to friends whose
places of business were in that section
of the city, but it was a public holiday
ard none of them were in. He tcli
the cashier his situation, explained
who he was and how he came to be
there without money. The cashier
was glad to see him, etc. But that
made no difference-he would not
charge any more on that account; the
lunches were sixty cents, and hurry
up, please. Mr.. Littlofield offered to
leave his watch as surety, but the
cashier had no use for it and wanted
the change. Finally, leaving Mrs. Lit
tlefeld as security during his temper
airy absence, he went out and found
a pawnbroker and spouted his val
liable gold watch for $40 and cleared
up the difficulty. Fortunately the rail
road tickets were safe and they got
home without further adventure. La
ter on, Mr.. L~ittlefeld received his
pocketbcoh and its contents intact, it
having been found by a New jersey
man in the car, and returned to the
address found with it.-Lewison (Ale.)

HOW TO SEE THROUGH A TRICK

ITO see through a brick walr' is an
expression often used in a figurattve
way. How would you like to make a
device that will enable you to appar-
emily see through a brick, OF any other
opaque object? 1t may be easily done
if you are at all handy. with tools; all
you need is a box with mirrors, and
this is the way it is made.
Construct a hollow box, like the n
you see in the illustration. One side is
represented as removed, that you may
see the interior arrangement. You can
easily make the case, says the Home
Journal, by saving down a box and
using the lid for the middle platform.
You will need four pieces of looking
glass the width of the box, and these
you fasten at an angle of forty-five de-
grees, as you see A, B, c and D ar
ranged. The rejecting surfaces face
each other and a small hole is made at
each end Of the box, E and +, each
hole being fitted with a piece of plain
glass.
Now, If you place an object before
the opening f, YOU will, by looking in
the opening d, see that object as if you
were looking straight at it. This is be-
The Opelousas courier., 1905-10-28

cause the object at E Is reflected in the
mirror A, which is reelected in B, which
.in turn is again reflected across the
box to mirror G. and then up to D, and
that image is een by your eye at u.
All of which, you see, is very simple.
If you now place a brick. or any
opaque object, between the two ends
of the box, as at G, you see, of course,
that it makes no difference in viewing
the image. But If you hide all this
mechanism from your friends, and
place the box for III to look through,
he will be much amazed to find that he
can see through box and brick to the
image you have placed at the opposite
end beyond the box.
Either E or f may be used to look
through, as the object is always at the
opposite end outside the piece OF glass.
Instead of a brick you may use n hat
OF a book. or even your hand. at G.

Put Himself In Pawn.

While George Frederick Cooke was
playing an engagement in New York
he was dunned for $500 one afternoon
by a creditor too strenuous to be put
Off
Come on, then" said Cooke, and
led the way to a neighboring pawn
brokers' shop.
my good man, / put myself in
pawn" he said. Lock me up in a
closet. Don't let me out. Give this
man the ticket. Now'-to the credt-
tor take It to my manager and tell
him that George Frederick Cooke is
locked up here in pawn for $500.
Don't be uneasy. In an hours time
the curtain must ring up. You'll get
your money"
He did get it, and when the excited
manager-his audience waiting
drove furiously to the pawn-shop he
found Cooke locked up safely behind
the counter sound asleep, and-being
locked up-sober and ready for work.

Merely For Illustration.

A school-teacher, who has not a
very good memory, says that she
sometimes forgets, from Friday to
Monday, what some delinquent, whose
punishment holds over, has actually
done. It may be that the child's mo-
Their has been sent for, to talk about
the matter, and then the way is plain.
The teacher summons the little Gull
prit, and says to her severely, "Now,
tell your mother exactly what hap
pened." The child, fearful of corrcc-
ton, tells, and the teachers memory
Is refreshed.
A certain officer, when his men
were at rife practice, became exasper.
ated at their clumsiness.
Here" he said to one of them,
give me your gun"
He shot at the target. but the ball
went wide. The men grinned.
There" said the officer to the man
who had lent him the gun, that's the
way you shoot"
Then he tried again. with the same
Ill result. But he was undauntei.
"And that" he remarked to another
man, rs the way you shoot"
In a third attempt the ball hit the
bulls-eye. "And that" he concluded,
calmly, "is the way / shoot."-Youth's

LodgepoIe Pine.

The lodgepole pine derives its name
from the fact that the Indians used
the slim trunks of its saplins as sup
ports for their wagons. 1t is found
In m~erchantable quantities on the

throughout southern Montana, Wyo-

The Bureau of Forestry is making
q special study of the species through
out these regions, says the Scientific
American, because it will grow on
soils tp thin and poor for other
trees, and thrives particularly on what
are called burns" where everything
has been cleared off by fire. The wood
Is more resinous than the eastern
