Couldn't Afford 1t

Hickory Wood, the pantomime
writer. used to tell an amusing story
of a theatrical manager who once
shared his box at a provincial pam
tomime. When the principal come
dian entered and did his best, the
manager, with a scowl on his brow,
leaned over to Mr.. Wood and re-
marked, II want to engage that man
for next Christmas in my produc-
ton"
do you think he is funny?" Mr..
Wood asked
"Screamingly funny" returned the
manager.
Then why don't you laugh q"
asked Mr. Wood.
Laugh, when he's got his eyes on
me?" replied the manager. And
every smile means that he'll ask an
other five a week"

Hotel Tips In Advance.

The Japanese custom of administer
ing the hotel tips Immediately upon ar
irving is clearly explained by Stafford
Ransome. In former days the japanese
innkeeper made a small charge for the
food he supplied. cost price or there
about, and the guest. upon arriving,
made present of money to the house
and another to the servants. indicating
thereby both his own social rank and
the class of accommodation he expect
ed. However munificent these presents,
1t was polite for him to write common
stuff" or rubbish" on the paper in
which he wrapped them up. Fearful
confusion resulted when Europeans
with our ideas of tipping first came.
Presented with a bill for the ridicu-
lousy small sum of shillings. they
thought shilling tip handsome. when
as much as 6 shillings was probably
anticipated.-Lond Chronicle.

contents of the paper were carefully
searched in an effort to find an ex-

nothing was found to clear up the

that the editor was trying to convey

THOUGHT TRANsFERENcE.
Wireless Telesraphy May Point to the
"Why' of Telepathy.

Wireless Telssraphy May Point to the
'Why" Of TeIspathy.
Accepting telepathy as an establish
ed fact, the problem remains how are
we to explain it, What is the mech
anism by which one person is able to
transmit messages directly and in
simultaneously to another person. al
though they may be half the world
apart
To this question It must frankly b
admitted no positive answer can a.
yet be returned. But some interesting
hypothesis have lately been advanced.
not by mere theorists. but by eminent
men Of science. who. themselves affirm
ing the actually Of telepathy. have
given much thought to the problem Of
its mode Of operation.
Sir William Crookes. for example.
calling attention to the marvellous but
undisputed facts Of the real vibration
as evidenced by the phenomena Of
wireless telegraphy and the Roentgen
rays, urges that here we have quite
possibly an adequate explanation Of
the mystery Of telepathy Of wholly
naturalistic basis-that Is to say. q
basis which enables Us to accept telep-
athy without dislocating our entire
conception Of the physical universe
1T seems to me-" he suggests, ''that
these rays (the Roentgen rays, may
have a possible way of transplanting
intelligence which. with a few reason
able postulates. may supply the key to
much that is obscure in physical re-
search. Let 1t be assumed that these
rays, or rays Of even higher frequency.
can pass into the brain and act on
some nervous center there. Let 1t be
conceived that the brain contains a
center which uses these rays as the
vocal chords use sound vibrations
(both being under the command of in
telligence) and sends them out with
the velocity of light to impinge on the
receiving ganglion of another brain.
In this same way the phenomena of
telepathy and the transmission of in
telligence from one sensitive to anoth-
err through long distances seem to
come into the domain of law and can
be grasped."
This undoubtedly is the explanation
that most strongly commends itself to
those scientists who courageously ac-
knowledge their belief In telepathy.
Nor do they see any objection to it in
the fact that people apparently are at
fected by the telepathic impulse only
at certain times. for the brain Of both
sender and receiver may conceivably.
on the analogy Of wireless telegraphy,
be set to transmit and receive tele-
pathic communications only when at
tuned to vibrations of certain ampi.

DYNAMITERS SENTENCED

The famous dynamiting cases
which have attracted considerable
attention throughout the country
during the past few weeks are now
only a matter of history. Thirty
four dynamiters were found guilty in
federal court at Indianapolis last
week. it being proven that they were
involved in the illegal transportation
of dynamite and nitroglycerine, the
explosives being used to destroy
buildings, bridges. ETC.. that were
being constructed by nonunion labor.
This is merely the outcome of the
famous Mcnamara episode, and
shows what can be accomplished
when the proper authorities have the
handling of such criminals. These
men deliberately planned the des-
truction of property without regard
to human life and in many instances
the lives of innocent men were snuff
fed out in an instant without the pos
sible chance of escaping. When
one stops to consider the enormity
of such hellish designing upon the
lives of human beings and the terri
BILE destruction of valuable property
it is only to be regretted that these
criminals were not tried on the charge
of murder and given life sentences,
which would give them ample time
and very desirable place to reflect
over the past. The terms of servi-
tude dealt out by Federal Judge
Anderson last Monday morning vary
from one year to seven.

KINGSTON. Nov. 15.---Vernon Rider OF

back of an enraged buck
After following the animal for several
hours Rider got shot at the luck and

and charged. Rider did not dare run
and stood for the buck, which rushed
head down at him.
To keep from being gored Rider seized
the enraged animal by the antlers and the
deer's head in rising threw the hunter
astride the back. Locking his feet under
the stomach Of the buck Rider held on to
the antlers
The buck plunged into the Forest and
as Rider could not let go his hold h. was
carried. as near as he could estimate
about nine miles. The infuriated animal
tried to throw the unwelcome rider and
brushed against trees and rocks. Riders
clothes were torn to shreds. but ne held
fast.
Peter u. Markle. an old hunter, saw the
deer coming with Rider and he fred n
heavy ball through the animals fore

in the branches Of II spruce tree. He was
badly bruised.
The buck was old and savage. had four
prongs on the antlers and weighed more
