says that the spider sometimes called

Money Spider"-that little fellow who
drops down on his slender thread from

sign Of money coming to you. Some
say that 1t is almost as sure a sign

The Real Point of the Joke

Two American performers, filing
vaudeville engagements in London,
took lodgings together in house on
side street back of Covent garden.
Late ct night, following the first day
of their joint tenancy, they left the
theater in company and, having had
a bite and drink at chophouse
set out afoot for the new diggings.
One of the pair undertook to show
the way. The trouble was, though,
that for the life of him he couldn't
recall the name of the street where
the house stood nor the number of
the house itself. For nearly an hour
they wandered through deserted by
ways seeking their destination. Fin
ally they happened upon street
which wore familiar look. And
sure enough, half way down the
block stood the house where they
were 1uartered.
With glad cries of relief the tired
pair hurried to it. Here fresh diff
fculty arose. They had no latch
keys. Coming away that afternoon
neither had thought to ask their land
lady for a key. However, the second
man figured he could pick the lock.
He worked at it vainly for another
half hour while his companion fidg-
eted about. Finally in disgust and
despair he gave it up as bad job,
and the two of them went to hotel,
where they spent the remainder of
the night.
Now comes the point of the story /:
The man who could not remember the
name Of the street, nor the number
of the house was Barton the Memory
Wizard. The man who could not
master the lock was Houdini the
Handcuff King.

come to claim his share.
During the day the present custo-

barrel of brine to prevent it from

the meat for himself. Accordingly
he removed it to a suitable hiding

on one or another Of those crises
which. politically speaking. are for

American people. l forget now just
what particular crisis it was, but, at
any rate, for the moment it was of
deep concern to the public at large
and Sans job was to get slant on
the prevalent sentiment in certain
states.
Among others, he called upon the
retired political leader of New Hamp-
shire, who lived in small but COM
Portable cottage in a little town. The
old gentleman felt deep concern in
the vital question of the hour, what
ever 1t was. He argued and he ex-
pounded. and he produced documents
in support of his views. eNoontime
approached and still he was nowhere
near through with what Re had to
say. So he insisted that Blythe
should remain with him through the
afternoon
Having sampled the cuisine of the
local hotel at breakfast, Blythe
promptly consented. The old gentle
man excused himself in order to in
form his wife that there would be a
guest for the midday meal and also
to get some important papers bearing
on the subject under discussion,
which were slowed away, he said. in
