HIGH SPEED


The old mountaineer, who was
standing on the corner of the main
street in a certain little Kentucky
town, had never seen an automobile.
When a good-sized touring car
came rushing up the street at about
thirty miles an hour and slowed down
just enough to take the corner on
two wheels, his establishment was ex-
IRENE.
The old fellow watched the disap-
tpearing car with bullying eyes and
open mouth. Then, turning to a by
stander, he remarked solemnly:

An swallowed the spot where the

VERY VALUABLE

The squire could not be absolutely
certain, but he had a strong conVic-
ton that Mr.. Stilepost and his family
benefited more by his game than
from strictly moral point of view
they should have done. But the keep
eFs were no match for the willy Stile-
post, and the squire at last hit upon
a really brilliant idea; he would buy
the suspected culprit's dog.
That's a sharp-looking dog you
have, john" re remarked one morn

No? Good gracious, man, you on

fuse twenty dollars! Look here, you
know you can't afford to keep dog!'

And, with a cheerful smile, the old
reprobate passed on.

You learn q great many things that you lever knew before at one Of
Brush's performances. The only trouble with them is that they amt 80.
To see Brush you infer that the cheapest and easiest way to supply oneself
with handkerchiefs, money, fruit, eggs, and such small articles is % haul
them out of the apparently empty air, not even a dragnet being required
for this peculiar fishing. Sausages and guinea pigs seem to find their
chosen abiding place in your a n up your friends coat sleeve. You are

And yet you ire farther wrong than was ever Mrs. Malaprop. When you

catch Brush mapping
A Magician naturally has many amusing experiences. Mr.. Brush tells
one in which he gave a easterner a lesson in honesty. He wa in a store
in an eastern city, where a farmer w as selling a quantity of chestnuts.
The merchant was in the act Of measuring them when the professor made
a start forward as il attracted by the glitter Of some article among the
nuts. He inserted his ninble fingers and pulled forth a new shining and
bright silver dollar. The farmer made a rush for the coin and was in the
at of grabbing it from the Professor when Brush inquired, as this your
coin ?" He was quick to own it, but Brush was not sure whether it should
belong to the merchant or the farmer and entered into discussion. This made
the farmer full Of defense for his money, and finally the merchant gave
in, being wise that q trick was being performed. Brush then said, "Wen,
my man, if this belongs to you, as you say, I have no more interest in the
matter further than to return it to you with a caution to be mor careful
in the future with your money" AT this Brush placed the dollar in his ex
tended grasping hand, to be quickly closed upon, and was in the act Of
thrusting lit into his pocket when the professor inquired, Are you sure you
have got it," He said, Yes but on opening his hand discovered It had
disappeared in thin air. The bystanders in the store let out 4 shout coc&
bfned with laughter, and the farmer tumbled he had been trekNd #s
