HAD HIS REVENGE.
But the HeartIess Hotel Man Got In
the Last Laugh.

A hotel proprietor I'm Kansas City
once told Of an amusing incident CON
nected with the stay at his house Of a
rural politician.
The politician had come TO the hotel
for but one day, and he had taken his
dinner elsewhere with a friend. When
on coming TO pay his bill he found
himself charged with a days board,
dinner and all, he protested vigorously.
1t was explained TO him that the
American plan was based strictly on
time and that if he chose TO eat else
where II was his own lookout The
man, however, refused TO be pacilied
and paid the bill under protest. Then,
to every ones surprise, he asked If din
ner were still on" Upon being In
formed thaS 1t lasted until In the
evening he exclaimed:
"Ive eaten one dinner, but I'm going
to get my moneys worth out Of this
house If | suffer all the torments OF
dyspepsia"
He then rushed into one Of the dining
rooms, seized bill of fare and or
dered everything he could think OF.
When he finally reached his limit, the
waiter handed him check for $S.35.
whats that forY he demanded.
"Your dinner, sir"
"But l have already paid for my
dinner In my BILL" protested the un-
fortunate man. IL am staying here on
the American plan"

The Alternatives

long, but already George had made 1t
apparent that the salary of junior
shop assistant did not admit of an &C.
static existence amid sea of diamond
rings. theater stalls or even chocolate

Recently they walked together to a
neighboring village. The road was
muddy. the wind bitter, and Daisy felt
that life would be better worth living
when she had an opportunity of reviv-
ing herself with tea and hot scones.
George hcsitated outside the only
restaurant in the place, and she smiled
hopefully. His hand stole to his trous-

ANY ONE CAN HYPNOTlZE.
But II Cannot Be Accomplished With
n Mere Glance.

OF course, whoever wants to hypno-
tize--in fact, no one but physician
ought to do it-must learn the tech
nlque and apply It patiently and skill
fully. And certainly there are indivld-
ual differences. Not every one can be
deeply hypnotizcd. With not few
the inhibition goes no further than
the inability TO open the eyes, while
only one out Of four enters into strong
hypnotic hallucinations. Further, not
every one Is well prepared to awaken
that confidence which is essential and
slat feeling Of repose which guides one
over TO the dreamy state. The look,
the voice, the gestures, the phrases, the
behavior, OF certain persons make them
poor hypnotizers, however well they
may understand the tricks. But I'm
principle everybody can hypnotize and
can be hypnotized, just as In principle
everybody can love and can be loved,
aud no special mysterious power Is
needed to fall in love or to awaken
love.
Yet, while thus every one can exert
n mere glance. All the stories of Sc
cret influence by which one mans
will gets hold of another mans mind
are remains Of the mermeric theories
of the past. Today we know that ev-
crything depends upon the attention
and imagination of the hypnotized and
that no mysterious fluid can flow over
from the mind of the hypnotist 10 the
mind OF the subject. The old mystical
view of unscicntihc superstition reach
ed It's climax I'm the prevalent belief
that man could exert secret influence
from distance without the victims
knowledge Of the source of the uncan-
ny distortion OF his mind. According
TO this belief, every hcinous crime
might be committed under that cover
The distant hypnotizer could innlct
pain and suffering on his enemy and
could misuse the innocent as instru-
ments of his criminal schemes.-Pro-

AN OCEAN VOYAGE.
One Of the Things IL Teaches 10 the

ELECTION NIGHTS.
One Of the Five SatUrnaIis Of Now
York City


New York has five saturnalia every
year-New Years night, Decoration
day, Fourth Of July, election night and
Thanksgiving-and not the least Of
these is election night. II it is a right
first Tuesday Of November, the day
time wind will be veering from west
to south and back, sun and cloud will
equally share the hours between them
and a not unnatural quiet, as Of polit-
zeal passions hushed under the blanket
of the Australian ballot, will prevail.
The streets will be rather emptied than
filed, and the litter of straw and scrap
paper and the ordure and other filth Of
the great slattern town Will blow
agreeably about under your feet and
into your eyes and teeth. But with the
falling Of the night there will be rise
of the urban spirits; the sidewalks will
thicken with citizens OF all ages and
sexes and nations. and If you will then
seek some large center for the clnemat-
ographic dissemination OF the election
news you will find yourself one Of n
multitude glOating on the scenes OF
comedy and tragedy thrown up on the
canvas to stay your impatience for the
returns. Along the curbstones are sta
toned wagons for the sale Of the wind
and string instruments whose raw,
harsh discOrds Of whistling and
twanging viii begin with the sight OF

time policemen, nervously fondling
their clubs I'm their hands hang upon
the frlnges Of the crowd, which is yet
so good natured that IL seems to have
no impulse but to lift children on It's
shoulders and put pretty girls before
II and to caress old women and Grip
pies into favorable positions, SO that
they may see better You will wish to
leave II before the clubbing begins and
either go home 10 the slumbers which
the whistling and twanglng Will dul
attend or join the Diners going into or
coming out OF the restaurants or the
throngs strolling down into the fairy
realms of Broadway under the fare OF
the whiskles and the actresses.-W. ID.

Diamond Cut Diamond.

Once upon a time there were In
Paris two papers, the Razor and the
Scorpion. which We're always going for
each other with great ferocity. Every
week people bought the Razor to read
how 1t cut at the Scorpion and the
Scorpion to learn how 1t stung the
Razor.
A certain philanthropist felt panied
to see such violence, so he invited the
two editors to dine In the hope that
over good fare he could make peace
between them. At the appointed time
one lean, melancholy man presented
himself and was ushered in. After an
interval, as no other guest approach
ed. the host demanded:
"May ask, are you the editor Of the
Razor or Scorpion?"
"Both," said the sad eyed man.

GROUND HOG DAY.
Survival of a Festival Of the Middle
AGES In Europe.

The origin Of ground hog day Is ac
counted for in the following way: Feb.
2, or Candlemas day, was a favorite
holiday, marked by public gayety and
ceremonies In Europe during the mid
die ages. IL is still marked there by
the closing OF banks and Offices, but
not otherwise outside OF the reading
endar IL is known as the Feast OF Puri-
fication Of the Virgin and was first In.
stituted by Pope Sergius about the
year ga A. ID. The popular name OF
the day is derived from the early GUS
tom Of lighting up the churches with
candles and carrying these In process
sion on this festival.
AS to the weather superstition giving
TO Candlemas the name Of ground hog
day, that Is a worldwide fable. In Ger
many 1t is the badger that breaks his
winter nap on this day to essay the
thankless task Of weather prophecy; IN
France and Switzerland II is the mar
mot and In England the hedgehog OBJ
servation shows, says the Housekeep-
er, that none Of these small animals
do thus observe the date fixed; also
that the weather on this date does not

A LEARNED LUNATIC.
Alexander cruden, the Compiler Of the
Bible Concordance.

Alexander Cruden, the persevering
and painstaking compiler Of the IA
nous Concordance to the Bible, was
appointed bookseller to the queen OF
George III. by Sir Robert Walpole. The
Concordance which has conferred ce-
lebrity on his name was published and
dedicated to Queen Caroline In 1877.
He was permitted to present copy OF
it in person to her majesty, who, he
said, smiled upon him and assured him
she was much obliged to him. She
died sixteen days afterward, and Cru
den did not reap the benefit OF the
queens appreciation which he had an
ticlpated. He prepared a second edi-
ton twenty-four years afterward and
dedicated II to her grandson, George
III. For this and a third edition is
sued in 1863 he reaped a reward OF
$500.
Cruden was very eccentric charac-
ter and was thrice placed In private
lunatic asylums. He designated him
self Alexander the Corrector" and
also the "CorrectOr of Morals" his
claim TO the latter title consisting In
his stopping all persons whom he met
In public places on Sundays and ad-
monishing them to go home and keep
the Sabbath day holy. He was great
believer In the distribution Of tracts
and spent a great part Of his means In
this way.
1t seems difficult to believe that an
eccentric man Of this sort should have
his name associated with such a re-
markably painstaking book as his Con-
cordance undoubtedly Is, as 1t must
have cost an enormous amount Of Ia
bor In its compilation, but 1t was prob
ably the severity of his occupation that
unhlnged his mind. He died at Cam
den street, Islington, on Nov. 1, ITO.

are associated the immortal names of
