And now & horrible storm was drenching the city, a mad flood destroying its lifs | She tried to picture what things looked like now, somewhat as they used to look | when overwhelmed by a sudden, heavy shower. Then the streets, lively and anl- mated a ‘moment before, would become suddenly empty; only a few reckless be- ings ventured out, men turning up the edges of thelr tfousers, and women lifting their skirts 80 as to show their petticoats. The large trees shook their wet branches, sending heavy drops down on the umbrellas when a gust of wind passed by; a few cabs hurrying by, closed and dreary look- ing; the taxicabs racing at a greater speed than usual, as though they felt it was no time to flaner. Paris easily recovered after & short shower. In a few seconds the pavements are dry, and the army of light- colored glothes is again parading in the sunshine; but how must it be when the rain lasts for davs and days, and when the streets are inundated by a muddy, yellow water?—New York Post. QUEEREST BET ON RECORD Freak Wager that Was Settled Fif- teen Years After it Was Made. “The queerest bet I ever saw made, ‘or ever heard of, for that matter,” sald a collar-and-cuff drummer to a casual ac- Quaintance, “was in Amsterdam, N. Y., In 1§78, if I'm not mistaken. I have been traveling around some since then, and have heard some tall stories, but none of them ever hit me so hard as this one. “That was one lively little town twenty- five years ago, if you knew the bunch. I had been going there every few weeks for a year or. more, and I knew them. By the bunch I mean John D. Servis, then an insurance agent and regarded as the Wwittiest man in that part of the stat ‘Dave’ Manney, a restaurant keeper and always up to.some joke, and “Billy* Arnold, |an all-round sport, who kept the Arnold house, where we always used to stop. “‘Bllly’ Arnold's place was & good ‘deal like the old Hotel Metropole in New York. His safe was usually half full of money held on bets. And he was always the referee and court of last resort. When ‘Billy' Arnold pulled out his lttle red | book and ran his finger down the page somebody was golng to be pald off. And his decisions wers as square as they made ‘em. “One night John D. Servis and ‘Dave’ Manney had been in the office of the lat- ter's restaurant until it was time to close up, talking over matters and things. | When Manney closed up shop the two of them strolled down the street, feeling at | peace with the world and in a mood to | start somehting. They got down opposite the Catholic church, which was bullding. Jul! about that time Servis had an idea. “ ‘Dave,’ he says, TU bet you drinks and cigars for everybody at the Armold house that when that church steeple falls it will fall to the east.’ “ ‘You're on,' says Dave, never batting an eye. ‘T bet it falls to the west. And we'll go up to Blly Arnold’s mow and have the drinks. Let's make it as many rounds and as many clgars as the crowd want." “1 don't care If Arnold doesn't, ple. t' says “So the two of them turned around and went back to the Arnold house. There was a sizable crowd in the cafe, and the word was passed around at once that Manney and Serws were there with one of thelr bright ideas. I was there, and as I remember it, Bervis dia most of the talking. wager on here with Dave, and the stake is drinks and cigars for the crowd—as much as they ltke. Set 'em up all around end when we have had our drinks we want you to settle the bet' “Arnold set up the best in the house Mberally. There were several rounds and & lot of cigars banded out. Then Arnold pulled out his Mitle red Yook and prepared to get down the terms of the bet in black and white before deciding it “‘Dave beéts the new Catholie church steeple will fall to the west, when it falls. 1 bet it will fall to the west, when it falls,’ says Servis. ‘Now, when it falls we want you to decide the bet.’ “‘Why, is that new steeple golng to fall™ says Arnold, sort of bewildered. “‘Not that we know of,' says Servis, and the whole lot of us went out laugh- ing at Arnold, who must have been in' the ‘whole §35 or $30. “Well, everybody joshed Armold about it for a little while and then forgot Al about it. After a while he sold out the hotel and started in the carpet business. Jobn D, Servis left town later and went. o Albany. 1 don't know what business he was In.

EYE WITNESSES NOT RELIABLE | Novel Test im Paychology Class § Wide Variation in Tes- timen>, Prof. McKeever Agricultural college per- resting experiment before a psychology class in which he staged a “hold-up” In his eclassroom and afterward took testimony on the subject. The object was to test the rellability of eye witnesses. Some tix: > | | Kansas Ftate formed an in of the to stage the hold-up and had them practice their parts in his office, He also made note of their personal appearance. They were instructed exactly Wwhat to do and what to say. All of these things were placed in & notsbook In order that the testimony might be compared with the facts. The class in psychology had just assem- bled, when in rushed Jones, who whirled about and pointed a wrench at his pursuers 4 exclaimed “Stay back or Il shoot!” Turning, he ran across the room and dropped to his knees, letting fall & small bag which he carrled, Dg! “There, take 1. and ran out of the room. He was closely foliowed by Smith and White. Smith yelled: “Give it up, you scoundrel!” and grabbed the bag and ran out behind the other two, White came in carrying a small revoiver with the cylinder removed, yelling: “Take it from him, Eddie! He won't hurt you!” The play lasted only & few seconds and Prof. Keever appeared very much agi- tated, but when the affair was over he told them the object of the test and asked each member of the class to write an account of what happened. The testimony regarding the conduct of Jones varied greatly. Foliowing are some of the accounts. Polnted his finger at Smith and'said: The whole class was paralyzed with fear. He pointed a_revolver. Pointed an imaginary pistol. Pointed a heavy object at the others as he went out. Held a revolver In his hand. (Witness recognized Jones.) Had something like a revolver. Jones wore & mask. The testimony regarding Smith's conduct would have been particularly damaging in a criminal case. Although he was not Armed In any manner or carried anything in his hands, yet two testified that he car- ried a revolver in his hands and snapped it geveral times, while a third credited him with sayin, “Stop, or I'll shoot,” at the same time alming at Jones. ‘White was scarcely noticed. One witness testified that he carried a club of some kind, but no one mentioned the fact that he carried a revolver ,with the sylinder removed. White, who was urmed, was not noticed, and Smith, who had nothing at all ‘in his ‘hands, was accused by three on-wlm?- of carrying & revolyer—Kan- POISON- THAT KILLS FEAR Mysterious Comeoction by Indians that Defies Investigatio: of Selentista. Curari, the vegotable polson with which the Indlans of the Upper Amazon tip thelr hunting arrows, remains a mystery in its composition after 100 years of investigation by sclentists. The Indlans will sell it for its weight in siiver, but will not reveal the plants from which it s derfved. Not long ago a professor in & German untver- sity was sent to the Amazon wilderness for the express purpose of discovering the secret, for curarl, or urari, as it is other- wise called, is now thought to be of valug in medicine. The professor lived tivo years in Indlan villages, and while he was permitted to witness the boling of the “‘witches' broth,” which lasted seyeral days, he could not tell what plants went into the brew. Returning from his baffled quest down the Amazon with a quantity of the polson, the professor was met by another traveler, Dewey Austin Cobb, Who had got possession of a native blow gun. The lat- ter tells how he put some of the profes- sor's surari gn some of his blow gun ar- rows, which are ltke toothplcks feathered with cotton, and tried it on & buck deer in the forest. ““After a-deliberate alm our hunter fired,” says Mr. Cobb, “if I may use such a word for the little puff, scarcely heard by us, and entirely inaudible above the rustiing corn leaves at the distance of the deer. The aninml! gave a slight start as it felt the prick of the arrow on its flank and turned partly around, sniffing the air for & scent, and looking about as if searching fqr the insect that had bitten or stung it Detecting nothing, it stood still and un- alarmed. At the end of a minute, or a minute and a half, at most, its head dropped a lfttle, as it it were sleepy. “When the hunter saw this he arose and stepped out in plain sight. The deer turned his head and looked at him, and moved forward, not away from him, a few steps and stopped. It showed no fear, but sim- ply curiosity. After another minute the Dprofessor and I arose, and all three walked quistly to within reach of it. It made no movement to run away, but watched us intently, and shifted its position a little. Its movements seemed perfectly easy and natural. Absence of fear was the only oh- servable change, until at the end of three minutes more; then it lay down, not fall- ing, but as naturally as & cow or sheep when ready for sleep. “We oll approached its side, and. the hunter laid a hand on its shoulders. It looked up at bim, but showed no resent- ment or fear. Even its breathing seemed became shorter and slower.
