SPOILED the Trick.

A New York official who had gone
through a political campaign, speaking
of thickness. said: The tricky man
usually winds up by being too tricky,
like Brown.
Brown, who lives in Fifth avenue,
suspected his English butler of drink
ing his wine SO one night he drugged
a couple of bottles of four or five dol
lar Chateau Yquem and left them in
the dining room.
Unfortunately that night Browns
wife returned late from the opera.
She saw the rare wine and had it put
down in the wine cellar along with the
twelve dozen other bottles of Chateau
Yquem that Brown had laid in.
Brown is wondering to this day
which two bottles are the drugged
ones. He has stopped drinking Cha
teau Yquem. In fact, understand his
whole stock of it is for sale at a rea-
sonable price. ."-EXchange.

Bruce in Success Magazine For about
ten minutes he endeavofed in thought
to appear TO her At the end of that
time he fell asleep
About four hours later the lady on
whom he had been "eXcrting his will"
awoke with an impression that she
had heard q curious sound. She felt
nervous and uneasy and thought that
If she went downstairs and took a
drink of soda water it might have Il
quieting effect.
Coming back. she was astounded to
see the form of Mr. Godfrey standing
on the staircase. He remained stand
ing there for three or four seconds,
while she stared at him in Mortified
amazemeut. Then as she approached
the staircase he disappeared.
