3 ~IVREAL WONDER It Rocks Out Answers to Ques- tions When Hands Are Laid Upon It, Although It Over. looked One Triplet. ‘SOMETIMES IT LIES WHEN WEATHER IS COOL, Usually, However, It Is Trust- worthy and Veracious, De- clares Mr. Eyless, the Bronx Baker Who Owns It. ‘A Nittle three-legged table has divided ‘an entire neighborhood Jn tho Bronx. Yt has also taken all the electricity out of ©. D, Byless, a baker, of No, 683 Bast One Hundred and Elghty-third street, He owns tho table, and his neighbors, relatives and friends admit that It ts a remarkable piece of furniture, In the language of Hans Petrowitz, a young student who lives neee tue bak- ery, ‘The Hylexs table has Cassandra and the Delphic Oracle jn the same class with a frayed dream-book, It reachel the height of its fame a few days ago when {t told Egelbert Swine- hart, the Bathgate avenue butcher, that ‘what he was anxiously expecting would be twins.” It seems that though the table made alight mistake in this Instance, it was t counted as such by Chris Hyless, Te table rocked twice when it an- pownced to Mr. Swinehart what he might expect. It Was Triplets, “If he hadn’t had quite so much @hill,” eatd the baler ingenuously to- day, “the table would have told the truth.” To this Mr, Kyleas added some- rwhat trrelevantly: “Ho las been a changed man alnce he fwent home and learned it was thrvo aioe litte boys,” Batore proceeding further it might be to explain the singular hie- tory of this table and the nature of sectional dispute t has stirred up. Oniginally was the property of Henry ‘Wortesmamm, of No, 717 Mast One Hun- Gred and Porty-sixth street. One day My, Byleas attended a soiree at the Wourtermeon home. ‘The tiny table with the three inter. twining bambod legs was brought forth, Mr. Wurtérmamn explained to Mr. Ry- leas that tf he sat down by the table and held the palms of his hands on It, two the 4 of his friends doing likewise, at end of three-quarters of an hour it would answer any question asked tt by Gimply rocking in response. An Indisoreet Question, “hae bow old your wife is, Chris,” maggested Mr, Wurtermann, A glance from Mrs, Dyless, however, prompted the baker to ask « less subtie question, which was promptly answered by the (matelligent ¢able, ‘Thy little baker's @yes grew large with wonder as the evening grew longer, He hinted that ‘would lilee to have auch a table, and ‘kind-hearted ‘host promptly gave it ince then it has reposed in the rear of the little bake-shop at No, 686 Haat One Hundred and Elghty-thin street, Mr, Byless to-day explained its mys- teries to an venting World reporter. Ho fe a dapper little man, who wears tits mustache a la Kalsor Wilhelm. He ts proud of the fact that he might be taken for a duodecimo edition of the German Emperor, His respect for his three-legged table and his reverence for Its pecullar faculties Is a delightful dhing to regard, His Engligh {s not as . Walter Pater wrote it, but every sen- tence is filled with sincerity and con- vincing phrase, Wouldn't Take §8 for It. “I wouldn't sell dt for $8," he began expressively, “for whenever I am pus- gled I ask it what, and {t tells me what.

Only in warm weather, and only by warm hands on Its top, does the table tell the truth, I keep ft warm by the fire, vo tt is not a Har,” ‘Now, It seems that there are a num- ber of friends and relatives of ithe little baker who are sceptical about the wizard qualities of this table, ‘They form a distinct faction in the netgh- borhood. On the other hand, there is a large following of Mr, Bylass who have Implicit confidence in the oracular power of the three-legged table, The two factions aro not on speaking terms, 0 bitter has the feud become. Every now and then a cloud of dust will roll up from before the bakery, ‘and the neighbors will sigh and say: -LEGGED TABLE?
