claim, because he thinks his wronged
brother Is dead. lie Is the exact
image OF the cashier, as we all know,
and he was received by Grovedale
people with open arms. His extra
ordinary nerve. ingenuity. and fertil'
lily OF resource carried him through
various tests and examinations. and
he was Installed In the place OF the
true and lawful owner and tenant OF
tho Hamilton estate. But there was
one, gentlemen who did not receive
him. Ii was Mrs. Hamilton. She
could not believe he was her husband

weapon in court

gineer was obliged to take the stand
as an expert in a suit in Nevada, a
couple of years ago. The case in
yolyed large issues.
The examination was conducted by
a young and smart attorney, who
patronized the expert with all the au-
thority Of half dozen years of prac-
tice.
"One Of his questions related to the
form in which the ore was found. a
form generally known as kidney

they are oblong in shape. Are they
as long as my head?'
Yes. replied the expert, but not
nearly so thick "-Harper's Weekly.

everything seems TO go wrong-those days
when one IS accused Of having got out OF bed
the wrong side. And it sometimes actually
starts there. You rise, step on a collar but
ton, jump and hit your knee against the bed,
and finally get into an argument with a rock
ing chair This Of course does not put you III

Sometimes this list OF misiortunes lasts ali

Instead OF losing your temper in the first place

Why He Succeeded

IT has been conceded by people associated for
L many wears with him, that the marvellous
success Il Sir Henry Irving as 4 stage manager
was due 10 MS klndlncas, gcntlcucss ms un-
tiring patience and the fact that he never lost
his temper. No man was ever able to get 80
much out Of those with whom he was aSsucl-
atcd, and no manager has been able to INJECT
so thoroughly his ideas into the hearts and
minds Of those in his employment.
IN one occasion, Tom Mead, who was then
about eighty years old, was playing the witch
in Macbeth" when he -ame TO the lnc,

for HIM to speak the line, he was strung up TO
a highly n1-vous state. Irving was watching
at the wings. Sure enough the old man blurten
out, "Cocl it with a dragoons blood, lmme-
dIately adding IN full hearing Of the audience.
Drat II! I've said 1t again!

when Mead came off the stage, he rushed to
