How Prices Go up.

An incident which is being told in
the wool trade may, perhaps, shed
some light on the way in which prices
increase when the fundamental value
remains virtually unchanged. 1t may
also illustrate how something akin TO
camouf1Nge is utilized by business men
to deceive even themselves into be-
lieving there is q shortage. One deal
er sold q consignment of wool at 81
cents pound, and it was resold sever
al times, each dealer making 10 cents
q pound profit. In the course of time,
the merchant first referred to heard
that certain firm had an allotment Of
wool for sale and asked the price. On
being told that the present owners had
purchased at 81 pound and were
willing to sell at $125, the inquirer
said, "All right, I'll take 1t and send
you a check. Where is the wool?" The
answer came: "On the third floor of
your own storage warehouse, where it
has been ever since you sold it orig

MIND READING BY WIRELESS
Fakir Detected to Be Using Secret
Buzzer Connected With the Side
Pocket of His Assistant.

While travelling in Ohio last year /
attended performance In a smaif
town, where mind reader was giving
q wonderful exhibition of his powers,
unused q salesman. The mind reader,
apparently an Oriental, for he wore a
turban and spoke broken English, was
able TO name every object the audience
chose to select for test; he also
named dates on coins, words, and read
passages in books and newspapers; 1t
was a marvellous exhibition.
The mind readers assistant had q
familiar look; he reminded me of
telegraph operator / had worked with
| In the West. When he came to where
| was sitting / noticed he kept one
hand in his side pocket. The as
sistant asked me to give the mind
reading a test.
Pulling out my union card, I asked
| him to name the organization to which
| | was q member. 1t was three min
utes by my watch before the mind
reader answered, brotherhood OF
Railroad signalmen."
The assistant turned away from me
as he held my card in such way as
to bring the side where his hand was
in the coat away from me.
Thirty years as teiegrapher has
made my hearing wonderfully acute
and l detected faint Morse signals.
Then I realized in an instant why the
mind readers assistant kept his hand
III his coat pocket. He had wireless
buzzer in there and was signaling the
mind reader. The buzzer was muf-
! fled with cloth to kill the sound.
l also saw why the mind reader
wore a turban and stood rigid in one
position on a rug. The turSan was to
hide the receivers clamped on his ears
and the rug to hide the antenae that
ran under the rug, up behind his back
| to the receivers.

Universal THANKSGIVING.

Some call November the dreary
month of the year, the black sheep OF
the u; and yet it is the month OF
thankfulness, the completion Of the
fruitage of the year. In the woods
the squirrels are industriously at work
among their last gleanings before cold
weather sets in, their happy "chee-
cheeree" joining with the calls of the
blue jays and crows and smaller birds
In the universal paean of thanksgiv-
Ing. In the underbrush and in the
meadows the mice, too, are harvest
ing, with their hearts full OF gladness.
Bees are buzzing over goldenrod and
wild asters and other late flowers; the
quail that have escaped the hurter
are. like Ruth, gathering the last
grains in the farmers fields; while the
farmer himself and his boys are load
ing the golden pumpkins into the big
farm wagons to carry away for winter
storage for use by both the family and
