Joke THAT AvERr1D TRAGEDY
Comedian Proved to De the Hight
Man In the Right Place on
This Occasion.

Natural aptitude to grasp a situa-
bon has been turned to account more
than once on the stage, and in one
case, if the veracity of a favorite
comedian goes for anything, it saved
a panic and possible loss of life.
eve were playing one-night
stands" said he, Gin Kansas during
the terrible period of cyclones, and
found ourselves in a large, dilapidat-
ed building called by courtesy the
alter.
"The low comedian was on the
stage in the part of a drunken hus-
band receiving a vigorous lecture
from his wife. Madam he had
just observed, IF you keep on you'll
talk the roof off, when there was a
roar heard, followed by a tremen-
dous crash, the building swaying like
a tree in a storm. The people
jumped to their feet, for they saw
the roof had been carried away.
They were about to turn and make a
dash for the exits when the come
dian, coming down to the footlights,
looked up into the air and quick as
flash he turned to the lady and
said: Therel What did / tell you ?
"The audience howled with laugh
ter, and the quick-witted comedian
was undoubtedly the means of pr
venting a serious calamity"

TOBACCO, OIL, ETC.

"The trusts dissolve" said Sena.
tor Robinson at a banquet in Lo-
noke. "The trusts dissolve, and
they offer US irrefutable proof of
their dissolution. This irrefutable
proof, however, is a good deal like
the dealers.
"A woman in the spring bought a
moth-proof chest of a dealer, and
early in July she came back to the
man in a terrible rage.
"'You said this chest was moth
proofp she cried. Look at these
sables-you'd think they'd been
dipped in acid. Look at my poor
husbands dress coat-the tail resem-
bles a sieve. And here is my lovely
chinchilla stole, bald in patches as
big as your hand. And you assured
me that the chest was moth-proof.
"'Well, madam said the dealer,
what further proof of moths do YOU
require?'"

IlIlterate English Laborer Whos9
Feats Have Recently Been caus-
ING Much Astonlshment

George Harbottle, a laborer at q
Northumberland quarry, possesses q
memory which retains an indelihle
impression of every word which hi
hears or reads, says the Northwestern
Gazette. After once hearing read, on
reading himself, half a dozen book
pages Of any kind of matter, he can
repeat them without emitting a sim
gle word.
One one occasion a man who knew
Harbottle bought a pamphlet Of
songs from a street singer, and
wagered him that he could not, with
in 20 minutes, learn and correctly
repeat all the songs. Harbottle re-
peated every song without a mistake
in II minutes. The names of all the
licensed houses in Glasgow we're read
out to him three times and he repeat
ed them correctly in the reverse or
der in which they were read out
Two men read two different para
graphs from two newspapers sinful
taneously and Harbottle repeated
one paragraph correctly and madc
only two mistakes in the otherCaI
remarkable feat. His foreman one
day showed him a book containing
the record of his seven workmates for
eight months. 1t was at the dinner
hour and the men were all sitting in
a group. In ten minutes, from mem
DRY, Harbottle told each man what
he had done and the wages he had
earned during each week of the pre-
vious eight months.
Being an illiterate man, he can
do nothing with figures, but other
wise his abnormal power seems to
triumph over the most severe tests to
which it can be put.
