HEARS THROUGH MOUTH.
Jersey City Boy, at state Deaf Mute
School, a Puzzle.


TRENTON, Dec. 1e.-Ten-year-old John
Hetzel. of Jersey City, is proving some
what OF a puzzle to the faculty Of the
State School for Deaf Mutes, this city,
where he was recently sent by his parents.
He speaks fairly and his hearing is rea-
sonably acute. although he was born with
out ears. Tests made by the teachers
seem to show that he hears through his
mouth. When his lips are closed he Is
unable TO understand questions addressed
to him. There are no cavities in the side
of his head through which sound might
enter. Where his ears should be small
lobes of kin have grown
Young Hetzel was for n time n pupil
in The public schools of his home city. but
other children made fun of his appearance,
and his parents then sent him here. There
is some question as to the right to keep
him here inasmuch as he is not a genuine
deaf mute. All of the rest Of the Hetzel
family are normal, with the exception of a
deaf mute cousin, who was educated in
this city.

An Unexpected Owner.

Nearly all the giddy youth of the
neighbOrhoOd attended the charity
bazaar, and one by one they drifted to
a stall where tiny, shapely, scented
gray kid glove reposed on a satin
cushion. Attached to the cushion was
a notice written in delicate feminine
hand, which ran, 1.-THE owner of this
glove will, at 7:3O this evening, be
pleased to kiss any person who pur-
chases sixpenny ticket beforehand"
Tickets were purchased by the score.
and at 7:30 long row of sheepish, not
to say doggish, young bloods were as
sembled outside the STALL
Then, punctual to the moment, old
Tom Person, the local pork butcher,
who weighs twenty stone and is al
most as beautiful as a side of bacon,
stepped to the front Of the stall.
Nov, young gents" he said in his
best "buy, buy, buy" tones, ''this ere
glove belongs to me. 1 bought it this
morning. Now I'm ready for you.
Come on. Don't be bashful. One at
timer
But nobody came on.-London Tele-

Johnson ON Actnrs

Although he wrote plays, Johnson
claimed not to be fond of players.
When Boswell suggested that we might
respect great actor Johnson cried ::
What, sir, fellow who claps a hump
on his back and a bump on his legs
and cries, i am Richard III? Nay.
sir; a ballad singer Is higher man."
No doubt Boswell had Garrick in mind
when, after hearing Johnson say that
he looked on players as no better than
dancing dogs, he timidly suggested,
But, sir, you will allow that some
players are better than Others" Eyes,
sir, as some dogs dance better than
others"
