HOW IKE LOST EYE.

William L. Kaiser, member Of
the United Commercial Travellers,
has acquired a reputation as a story
teller. 'Bill," is much in demand at
banquets, reunions and stag parties.
Although the story is worn almost
threadbare, "Bill" insists upon re-
peating the following anecdote at ez-
cvy opportunity:
The farmers, John and Jake, met
at a crossroads with loaded teams.
They paused to pass the local small
talk.
"John," said his friend, ~did ye
hear O the accident down at Reeds
corners?
sNary word" replied John.
"Weil," continued Jake, yell No
member Ike Robinson's hotel, the
Lakeside Travellers Rest A troupe
o Uncle Toms Cabin people put
up at the Corners last week, and Ike
gave the leading lady the biggest
room in the house, the old parlor
On the first floor"
The old man paused meditatively.
"Yes?" queried John
can that's how Ike came to lea
his right eye"
AHow did it happen p asked John.
Through accident?"
"Nope," answered Jake. Through
the keyhole."

HYPAoTIsm RESTORED VOICE
Nightmare Had caused,a Man Is LSso
the Power Of epseeh for More
Than Four Years.

After being dumb for more than
four years, David Newell Shutter
Of III Milton street, Long Island
City, has had his power Of speech
restored to him by means Of hyp-
notism.
DR.. Alfred J. Fox Of 21O Fifty
sixth street, Manhattan, who effected
the cure. declared that Shutters ALL
ment probably was caused by ner-
vous shock, resulting from night
mare. The doctor examined the
mans throat and became convinced
that there was no organic disorder,
and that it was case of paralysis
due to shock. He decided, therefore,
that the case did not require the ad-
ministering of medicine, but that
hypnotism would do more good, and,
accordingly, started to treat the case
along these lines.
After the first treatment, which
was about two months ago, Shutter
showed signs Of Improvement, and
has been improving ever since, until
now he has practically the same pow
er of speech that he had before he
became afflicted. As far as tones and
infections are concerned, the case is
cured, but there still remains the
necessity of strengthening the vocal
cords, which have become, so to
speak, rusty through nonuse.

The LAUNDERING LEGION.

The LAUNDERING Legion" is in
all probability laundering myth.
According to the legend the story is
as follows: About the year ia a
Roman legion. in which there were
some Christians. were hard pressed
by the savage Marcomanne, and as
they were about to be overpowered
and cut to pieces the Christians be-
gan to pray, when there immedi-
ately began TO play upon the enemy
a terrific storm Of thunder and
lightning, which put them to flight
and saved the day. The tale is but
one Of many like it that grew up
out Of the ignorance Of the time. as
the fungus grows out of the rotten
wood.

AND THE FRIENDSHIP ENDED
Sarcastic Inscription on Photograph
Surely Settled All Question Of
Reconciliation.

If the name of the victim Of this
story were published it would Gre
ate sensation from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, not to say from the great
lakes to the Rio Grande. In short,
IT the name were known, the gentle
man in question would have several
duck fits and the remainder of the
population of the United States
would leap madly into laughing hys-
terics. However, the victim is a
man high in national politics and
widely known in the staring public
eye. He had befriended the hero
OF this narrative and had bound him
to him with hoops of steel. An ex-
igency of politics required signal
service from the lesser light, AMI the
great man sent for the other and
said to him:
Il am your friend. / have made
you what you are. For my sake, 60
forth into the countryside and do
thus and So"
The lesser light, having consulted
his .own interests and the opposite
faction in the party, journeyed forth
all right enough, but what he pulled
of in the aforementioned country
side was in direct contradiction to
his instructions. When he returned
to the place from which he had
started he called at the offices Of his
powerful friend, but was received
BY subordinate, who said:
my boss thinks that YOU have
treated him very badly in view Of al!
hts past. friendship for you, and he
will not receive you. Furthermore,
he wishes YOU to send back to him
the autographed photograph which
he gave YOU
The man, thus rebuked, hurled
himself into taxicab, dashed into
his humble dwelling, seized large
stub pen, wrote an inscription across
The picture and sent the photograph
back to it's giver. The inscription

TELEPHONE HAD A BAD COLD
And Orders for Two Certified Copies
Sounded Over the Wire
Like 235.

Slurring Of words over the te,e-
phone wire came near working clerks
overtime in the Office of A. B. Harri-
son, secretary of state Of Oklahoma.
The department was called BY
long distance from Kansas City and
requested, as the clerk understood, to
prepare two thirty-five copies" of a
certain corporation charter. The Of
flee took on signs of business, with
orders going to town for several
reams of white paper.
Judge Fitzpatrick of the corpora
ton desk stopped long enough to fig
ure that the fees to the state would
amount to $7oo for copying alone.
''Do you suppose that is on the
square?" queried Judge Fitzpatrick,
as he looked at his computation Of
the cost.
Better confirm it." suggested the
secretary OF state, so telegram went
to Kansas City asking if the request
was for 's35 copies"
Orders for the white paper were
countermanded two hours later when
a boy walked into the secretary's Of
fee with message which read: "Not
on your life. We want two certified
copies. New York Herald.

IT WAS BLOT ON HIS LIFE
Horrible Use to Which the GuiIlotine
Was Put Greatly Saddened Its
Inventor.

The man whose name has acquired
so painful celebrity by being assim-
Hated to his invention, was M. Guillo-
tin, learned physician, who had in
vented, two years before, the instru-
ment of death which he deemed best
calculated to abridge the sufferings Of
the culprits condemned to forfeit their
lives by the sentence of the laws. The
invention was laid hold of for the pur-
pose of "expediting" greater num-
Der of victims. Such was the express
sion used by member of the conyen-
ton.
NJ Guillotin was inconsolable for
what he considered as an involuntary
blemish in his existence. His veneer
able contenance bore the impress of
settled gloom, and his hair, of a
snowy whiteness, afforded clear in
dication of his mental sufferings. He
had aimed at relieving the sorrows of
human nature, and he unintentionally
contributed to the destruction of a
greater number of human beings Had
they been put to death in a less expe-
ditious manner, the people might have
soon grown weary of those executions,
which they showed the same eager
ness to behold as they would have
done a theatrical representation.
