Henry took great credit to himself for

of hypnotism, and was sent on a
Michigan Central train to an asylum.

hypnotic powers.

The man made several passes be-
lore the conductors face.
Now you are hypnotized," he said.
The conductor looked the part as
best he could.

said.

She Got the Trunk,

An actress playing in one of our
uptown theaters has a reputation for
eccentricity. She carries with her
wherever she goes a rag doll, which
she has named Peggy and which she
looks upon as mascot. She has re-
ceptfons for Peggy, which are made
SO interesting and enjoyable for. those
who accept invitations to them that
few of the invited guests decline to at
tend.
Upon arriving in New York, after
her summer vacation the actress found
that her trunk containing Peggy,
which had been sent on in advance,
had not arrived. She telephoned the
fact to the express Office, and kept
on telephoning as the minutes passed,
and the missing trunk failed to an
pear.
AT length voice, apparently that of
an irate official at the other end of
the wire exclaimed:
There is no use of your continuing
to telephone US about your trunk,
madam. 1t is here, we have seen it,
and 1t will be forwarded to you in the
course of the morning."
Good heavens. mani" cried the ac-
tress. There is child in that trunk y

family, but in less time than 1t takes

works as-well, as the Canadian sal

Two Canadians were boasting.
