Sam SmaII's Aypnotism
Didn't Work.

Ut HE late Sam Small had his faults,
said an Albanian, but he did not
dodge the penalty of them. When he
went wrong, he owned up like man,
and if punishment was due, he took it.
THAT was the doctrine Sam SiGall
preached. He hated dodgers. He
used to laugh bitterly at the plea OF
hypnotic influence that used to be
put up by nearly every murderer.
II once heard him ridiculing hyp
uotism. He said that he bought pref
tv heavily one year for Christmas. and
when the bill came In for turkey and
mince meat, candy, ducks, chickens
plum pudding. fruit cake and so on
he thought to himself that here was a
case for hypnotism to be tried
He went first to hypnotic the
grocer. Approaching the man, he
looked him squarely in the eye, at the
same time repeating, slowly and i'm
pressively:
"'My bill is paid.

A European idea is maps, specially

WILL BE A 5000 MILE RIDE.
Long Overland Horseback Trip of a
Kansas Army Officer.

Junction City. Kan, April lO.-Seoond
Lieutenant E. r. w. McCabe of the
Sixth cavalry at Fort Riley, on special
duty, has received notice from WASH
ington that he has been selected to
make a ride from Portland, Ore, to
New York on an Arabian stallion.
The purpose of this long ride is to
test the endurance of this breed of
horses with the view OF determining
their value as cavalry horses. Lieuten-
ant McCabe expects to- be ordered to
Portland within the next two weeks.
He will be accompanied by an orderly,
and they will travel overland with their
full field equipment.
Lieutenant McCabe- is envied because
of his prospective ride by all the young
officers in the garrison, and nearly all
of the enlisted men would give all that
they possess to be chosen as the orderly
to accompany the officer. 1t is said that
the expenses of the trip will be paid by
an eastern breeder of horses, who has
been trying for years to find the best
horse for cavalry purposes with the
view of breeding for that purpose.
The distance from Portland to New
York is 3.1S1 miles by rail. The route
Lieutenant McCabe will follow proba-
bly, will be longer than. that.
