The weather was SO cold, the water
froze in the hose and the residence
was fairly Quilted. The origin of the
fire is a mystery. One sensational
story states that Farnham, who was
in Deadwood got his wife's mail and
being suspicious, opened it and found
she had been corresponding with
another man in q manner that called
for interference on the part of her
husband. Later in the evening the
fire was discovered, and it was
found that Farnham had tax IN a
dose Of morphine, with what intent
it is not known. 1t was hard work
for the physicians TO save his life.
After many complaints from the
citizens Of Deadwood, and discussion
before the city council, Mayor Mac
Donald has issued an order stopping
all music in the saloons of Dead
wood. The enforcement OF the order
was left to the chief of police and
calls for the SUPPRESSION of all instru-
mental and vocal music of every
kind. This step was taken on the
complaint of the citizens who con-
tended that the music was the chief
attraction for boys and young men
who entered. the saloons against all
legal right. 1t was claimed that
but for the music there would not
be the incentive, and that this factor
was proving detrimental to the ris
ing generation.

To begin with, the decsnter must be

no silk handkerchief IS conveniently at

There was a marine sentry on duty

It would be useless to give the alarm

had been cut and knotted together.
And now to do the trick. Previously
placing the prepared string in his left
trousers pocket, the conjurer asks one
of the audience to JOIN the piece that
he has cut into three equal lengths.
Join them with A granny knot" he
suggests casually. ms reason for say
ing this is that in a granny knot-a
knot made simply by tying the ends OF
the string round eacn other-the ends
stick out, and thus resemble most close
ly the imitation knots on the piece OF
string in his pocket.
When the second knot is tied the
conjurer remarks: You've left the
ends rather long. will clip them a
bit" Saying this, he feels in his left
trousers pocket for knife, incl
dentally drawing out and concealing
in the palm Of his hand the prepared
piece of string. Now anyone can see
that It is not very difficult matter
for the conjurer to substitute the
string while he is trimming the knots.
The prepared piece Of string, which
everyone imagines TO be the piece they
have Just seen knotted, is now held at
each end by one Of the audience.
Il am going TO cover these knots
with two handkerchiefs." says the con-
jurer. Here he puts his hand in his
pocket, takes out 4 handkerchief, at
the same time deppsitlng there the
genuinely cut and knotted string.
Having borrowed the second hand
kerchief, the conjurer covers over the
imitation knots. He then puts his
hand underneath them and unties the
imitation knots, removes the little
spare pieces OF string. and conceals
them in his hand. A whlsk Of the
handkerchiefs, and the string is dis

strings round for examination, and then
asks lady 10 lend him nun. He gives
the ends OF the strings 10 some one to
hold. Following this. the oonjurer
passes the strings through the mum. and
openly ties them together by making
two OF three knots.
The next move is 10 borrow sundry
small articles from the audience, such
as keys, rings and watches. and TO tie
these on outside the muh.

lurer's) ends OF the strings. He next
