 Annexing the Mountain.
 From Nautilus.
 It is related that there was a Japa-

nese gentleman who, living at a consid- erable distance from a famous mountain, so arranged his garden that looking out over it's expanse one fairly believed the mountain to be included within it in the distance, and he was in the habit of tell ing his friends that he had annexed the mountain
 There are some people who by the or derly arrangement of their lives, their nobleness of purpose and general high mindedness in their restricted environ ment seem by a-magical perspective to have included within, their possessions cer- tain sublime possibilities or ideals which a little reasonng would demonstrate they could not yet have attained.
 Having annexed the mountain," though, it's seeming proximity may spur them on to some day reach to its heights.

 The pretty fortune teller shakes her head-a slow knowing shake. "Nossir,' she will declare. You give-a zat ten-a doll to me. You try to take it f'om me. and I scream"
 Ten chances to one the man won't make a kick, for he hates to let the pub lie know that he has been credulous. He'd get the money back if he had her arrested-maybe-b all the papers in town would take one rejoicing wallop at him through their funny columns And it's cheaper to go unheralded and un- sung than it is to get the money back and win staff of mnstrels at the same time.
