A CLEVER PIckpocKeT.


Surprised . Grand Duke.
One day at the dinner table Of Q
Russian grand duke a French ambas
sador extolled the dexterity of his
fellow countrymen, as exemplifed
among other things, in the clever.
ness of the Paris pickpockets.
81 should not wonder il the st.
Petersburg pickpockets could give
them a start" replied the grand
duke. And, seeing an incredulous
smile play around the features OF
the ambassador, he added, "will you
bet that before we rise from the ta-
bic your watch or some other valua-
Bile will not be taken from your per-
son?"
/ The ambassador accepted the
wager for the fun of the thing, and
the grand duke telephoned to the
chief constable, asking him to send
at once the cleverest pickpocket he
could lay his hands on. The latter
was 10 receive the full value of ev-
cry article he managed to "annex"
and be allowed to 90 unpunished.
The man came and was put into
livery and told TO wait at the table
along with the other servants. The
grand duke told him to give him
sign as soon as he had accomplished
the trick. But he had to wait a
long time, for the ambassador,
whose watch was the article to be
experimental upon, always kept on
the alert and even held his hand to
his fob when conversing with the
most distinguished guests at the ta-
bic. At last the grand duke receiv-
ed the preconcertcd signal. lie at
once requested the ambassador to
tell him the time. The latter tri-
umpbantly put his hand to his pock-
ct and drew forth a potato instead
OF his watch! There was a general
burst Of laughter, in which the am
bassador himself joined, though
with wry face, for he was unmis.
tskably annoyed. To conceal his
feelings he would take a pinch Of
snuff-his snuifbox was gone! Then
he missed the seal ring from his
finger and lastly the gold toothpick
which he always carried about with
him in little case. Amid the hilari-

Egyptian osomstry.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless rep
resents the most advanced attain
ments Of the Egyptians in arithme-
tic and geometry. II is remarkable
that they should have reached so
great proficiency in mathematics at
SO remote a period Of antiquity.
But strange indeed Is the fact that
during the next 1000 years they
should have made no progress what
soever in il. All the knowledge Of
geometry which they possessed
when Greek scholars visited them,
six centuries b. C., was doubtless
known TO them 1000 years earlier,
when they built those stupendous
and gigantic structures. the pyra-
mids. An explanation for this stag
nation Of learning has been sought
in the fact that their early discov-
cries in mathematics and medicine
had the misfortune Of being enter
ed upon their sacred books and that
in after ages it was considered he
retical TO augment or modify any
thing therein. Thus the books
themselves closed the gates to prog

WHEN A "HUNcH" HELD GOOD.
Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested 4
Bet on swing Ting"

Kay Spence, a well-known horseman
of Mexico, Mo-, won $1,000 at the
Louisville, KY, race meeting short
time ago as the result of "hunch."
Mr.. Spence has a large breeding
stable of runners" near Mexico, and
attends all the big racing events in
the country. Not long since he was
In Louisville and entered the betting
ring to see what odds were being Of
fered on the various entries. He
found that Joaquin was the favorite
at even money, and pulled his wallet
from his pocket, intending to bet on
that horse. His attention was, at
tracted by something that fell from
his wallet to the ground, and he stoop-
ed and picked it up. 1t was a Chi
nese laundry ticket. He looked at
the "books" again cad found that there
was an entry with a Chinese name,
Wing Ting. at ten to one. That set
tied it, for he considered he had re-
ceived a "hunch" that could not be
overlooked. Wing Ting won handily.
Needless to say, those who backed the
favorite considered Spence the sew.

A Definition Of Success.


How have the hypothetical scien.
fists and the exponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world?s The real sci.
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense Of
the word; they know too much. they
have seen too many mysterious mani.
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now, those who have disposed OF
the Bible and all evidences Of iuspira-
ton. have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have.
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result Of
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel

4 A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ligious Press of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon it's
methods.
, These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
1.-THE religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage in
) showing up Golfers Weekly as the
''Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the BOO

successor?"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
Tiers has finally run against a solid
hickory "Post" and been damaged in
it's cwn estimation to the tune of
! $750,.00.00."
Hare is a publication which has, in
utmost disregard of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to
go uncontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake Of wander
ing into fresh field and butts it's rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back dose of its own medicine"
. 1T is mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but it cries and boo hoos like
a spanked baby and wants $750,000.00
to soothe its tender, lacerated feel
ings."'
"Thank Heaven it has at last struck
man with back bone' enough to call
spade d Spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor"
Perhaps Golfers with it's utmost
disregard for the facts may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file In our Office and is only one of

6elIinq a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house of
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore it
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid Of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had dance every night.
