Il wonder if local mariners appre-

tramp, who few days before had en-
tered New York harbor upon his first
voyage here Il saw the statue be-

The Prophetic Gift.

That there are persons today who
possess the somewhat uncanny gift
of being able to predict future events
is probably true. The wife of the late
Sir Richard Burton, the famous trav-
eler and linguist, not to mention other
instances of her weird gift, announc-
ed the very first time she saw Burton,
at the time a perfect stranger whom
she had met quite casually, that lie
would be her husband. At the pres
ent moment, too, there is said to be a
man who has manifested such an ex-
traordinary faculty of predicting things
that are about to take place that Il
number of medical men have purchas-
ed the reversion of his brain in order
that they may examine that organ aft
er death to see if it shows any special
development to account for his Won
derful gift-Grand Magazine.

A Cane In Defense.

''If you want to keep off holdup
men," said an old detective to the OBJ
server, carry cane. A holdup man
is more afraid of cane than he is of
q revolver He's deathly afraid that
the man carrying it will jab 1t in his
face or eyes or get the end of it in his
mouth. On this account they're just
as much afraid of a small light stick
as they are Of a heavy one. There are
SO many different ways of using a
cane that man doesn't know just
which way to guard against it. And
any man can use it. Nine men out of
ten who carry revolvers couldn't hit
the side of barn with them, and the
'holdups' know it, but it doesn't take
any skill or practice to learn to slam
bang away with walking stick
