whole soul into the reading. His ges-

his way from the beginning to the end
OF his theme, and when he had fin

A smooth-looking stranger recently
placed a number of penny-in-the-slot
machines an a certain town. The ma
chimes bore the following Inscription.
THE greatest aid known to diges-
ton. Drop a penny in the slot. Push,
then pull.
At the top Of the machine was a
handle to be pushed, then pulled, and
many townspeople who could not re-
sist the temptation Of trying some
new device, for the same reason that
Timothy took the wine-"for his
stomachs dropped in their
pennies and took push and pull out
of the machine. But that was all. No
result followed. and there was some
talk Of blowing open the boarded
treasure.
At the end Of the week the agent
reappeared. unlocked the machines,
garnered the wealth and retired, after
explaining that exercise was the
greatest thing for digestion in the
world" The crowd was so paralyzed
that the agent escaped unharmed.

rAoueAT OF DEATH uNNgRves.
Peculiar State Of Mind Of Man Who
Makes People Laugh

Frank Daniels, the well-known com
edlan. is said to have a most extraor-
binary fear of death
II he can possibly back out from
attending a funeral he invariably does
so. In fact, ii is said that he never
went to one in his life until Kirke La
Shelle, his old-time friend and man
ager, died. a short time ago
Then it was absolutely necessary for
Daniels to go to the funeral He did.
But he arrived back at his home in
Rye. n. ", in a state Of great agita-
tion, and promptly took to his bed.
But as nothing seemed to be the
matter with him. he gradually plucked
up courage and decided to arise, as
usual the next day.
His valet asked him whether he de-
sired to put ON the clothes which he
had worn the day before
"What?' exclaimed Daniels, horri-
fed. Wear those things had on at
the funeral Neveri Throw them
away burn them up | never want
to see them againl'
And his previous agitation returned
to such an extent that he almost de-
cided not to get up that day at all.

Walk Awhile In Solitude and Invite

join in the reputed gayety Of the as
sembled mob that laughs at high heay-
en- in the congested marts Of men.
Yet solitude hath its uses. At least
a little of ii is good for us all. 1t is
worth while to get us away from men
occasionally. to Walk with ourselves
under the high canopy, and to think
upon ourselves and our deeds Of com
mission and our sins of omission, to
look upon ourselves with the frank
eyes of honest introspection. to get
our bearings and to locate ourselves in
the little world that revolyes about u.s.
We may not come out Of such a
process brightened-not If we are
weak men with abundant sins-we
may not feel cheered by what we have
seen of our failures to do and to be
what we have wished; but it is better
for us SO. The prick Of our shortcom-
