Terrier by Selecting Cards and Other Signs Shows That He Has Power Like Telepathy. Alliance, O., boasts of a dog with telepathic powers, which residents believe to be the only one in the werld. His name is Tom and his spe- cies bull terrier. He is the proper- ty of Jack Myers, who has resided there for years. Prof. Charles Marmaduke Lumley, of the London psychological insti- tute, London, England, after witness- ing Tom’s remarkable feats, offered $1,250 for him, but the offer was promptly refused by Mr. Myers, as he firmly believes that if Tom were THERE LAY THE TENSPOT. separated from him the dog would pine away. Tom first demonstrated his mind- reading qualifications unexpectedly to his owner, by means of a pack of playing cards. Mr. ers had fin- ished a game of solitaire and had carele slapped his dog on the nose with one of the cards. Mr. Myers noticed that the ecard was the | ten-spot of the hearts. The card was placed in the pack and laid upon the table and Myers left the room. On returning some time later he was surprised to see ten-spot of hearts lying apart from the deck of cards and in front of the dog. Attorney William Roache, of Alli- ance, hearing of the iz dent, one day while at the hotel where Jack and his owner live put the dog’s powers to an extreme test. He stacked the cards face downward and simply thought ticular card. intently of a par- Here came in the dog’s greatest achievement, for each time he was tested in this picked out the right card. Following this incident, hur s from far and near have thus tested the canine and have been unable to baffle him. Some time since, while a deal was pending for the sale of the animal, manner he Jack went about bowed down with grief. When a messenger arrived with a telegram declaring the nego- tiations off he is reported to have grabbed the mes e rfom the car- rier’s hand and, carrying it to his master, leaped for joy before’ the contents of the little envelope had even been read by Mr. Myers.

Coolly Removed a Lady's Belt Pin and Then Jabbed the Thing Into Her Back—Victim Cried, Crowd Laughed, She was just back from the Pan- American. She wasn’t paying excess on any weight of serious information brought home with her, but she knew the Midway like a book or rather a comic paper. Every page of her experience was a laugh at the bottom and she turned the leaves for every iriend she met. Her particu- | lar favorite was as follows, says the New York Sun: “One evening we were loitering past the animal show, when I no- ticed a queer sort of a chair in front ; of the place. It was a heavy, square wooden chair, with arms and a high back. It would not have been re- markable except for its width, which seemed excessive, and the fact that it was so very low. The seat was less | than a foot from the ground. “We stood there speculating as to its use when another group of loi- terers stopped near us. They were paying no attention to the chair, but were discussing just what particular fake they would experiment with next. Unconsciously they had stopped near the peculiar armchair which had attracted my attention. They stood with their backs to it, one woman being only a few feet away. “Just as we were about to give up our attempt to solve the chair prob- lem we saw a baby elephant come out of the menagerie building, swing along with the peculiar gait of its kind, and sit down in the very seat we were staring at. The barker came out too and began to get ready to shout for a crowd. “Just then the elephant, which was flapping its ears and swinging its trunk from side to side, seemed to de- eide on imvestigating the group standing in front of him. The woman had her belt pinned down in the back i Things Lively for a Minute ‘ { | THE TRUNK WAS GONE. | | with a large-headed pin that ; temptingly in young Mr. Elepl eyes. He stretched out his trunk and began fumbling with the pin. | “The woman felt som ng and put her hand around to see that her belt was in plac Before her hand got there the trunk was gone. fied herself that her moorings were secure and then brought her hand back to the front again. Presto, up went the trunk for a second attempt. The woman was so occupied in the discussion that she was probably only half conscious of being touched, for she did not turn around even then. She merely put her hand back on an- other reassuring expedition, which ain missed the exploring trunk. “Once again the elephant found the field clear. This time he was surer of his ground. He deftly took the head of the pin, drew it out and then swiftly jabbed it—there is no other word for it—into the woman’s back. Scream? Of course she did. She ; jumped about three feet, too, and as she came down she whirled around to see what had struck her. When she saw that elephant she jumped an- other three feet. If somebody hadn’t caught her I think she’d be jumping yet. I have seen the Midway very lively at times, but I don’t think I ever observed greater excitement than prevailed for the next few min- utes. I must confess that we added to the occasion by going into fits of heartless mirth. The elephant? Oh, he was a model of a joker, He never cracked a smile.” | She satis- Meanest Man in Kansas, Not long ago the wife of a western Kansas politician asked him to lay aside politics long enough one day to dig the potatoes in the garden. He agreed to do it. After digging for a few minutes he went into the house and said he had found a coin. He | washed it off and it proved to be a silver quarter. He put it in his jeans and went back to work. went to the house again and said he had found another coin. He washed the dirt off of it. It was a silver half dollar. He put it in his have: worked pretty hard,” said he to his wife; “I guess I'll take a short nap.” When he awoke he found that his wife had dug all the rest of the potatoes. But she found no coins.

How « Buffalo Policeman Inspired Respect for an Anti-Smoking Regulation, | | Most policemen would have come ap and slapped the three roysterers on the back and said, gruffly: “Here, no smoking allowed in this depot.” | But the officer who was on duty before the ticket window of the Ex- change street station at Buffalo, N. Y., the other night was a diplomat and worthy of a wider sphere than he will ever have, even as a depot policeman. There were really four in the par- ty, but there were three of them who “YE DON’T BELIEVE IN SOIGNS.” were seeing the other man off. All of them are exhibit attaches at the ®an-American exposition and the fourth man was leaving for his home in a far western state. With his three companions they had started for the train several hours before | train time, and they had spent most of the intervening time in drinking his health. Naturally they were in a mood to be a little careless of the depot regulations. About half an hour before train | time one of them discovered there j Was a later train which their friend could take and arrive at his destina- pew just as soon, while the new ar- rangement would lengthen the time they would have to express their re- gard for him at sundry bars. They reptired to the depot to have his ticket changed. While he was going through this ormality at the ticket office they ' stood a little way back in the wait- ing-room puffing vigorously on strong cigars. A policeman ap- proached, but he wasn’t gruff at all. With a pleasant smile and a strong Hibernian brogue he remarked: “It’s ivident none of ye gentlemin believe in soigns.” “Why not?” asked one of them. “Because,” replied the diplomatic | policeman, “there be wan over there which rad ‘No smokin’ allowed in this waitin’ room.’” Three cigars came out of three mouths with a chorus movement, and there was no more smoking. 2 Preacher, Interrupted During Service, Ejects a Noisy and In- sulting Communicant, Rev. Mr. Homan, of the Rescue Mis- sion on Ontario street, Cleveland, O., paused in the service long enough on a recent Sunday night to assume the roll of “bouncer.” Peter Gorre, of 86} | Michigan street, intruded upon the} meeting and soon attracted more at- tention than the preacher by intere rupting the minister and trying i make a speech. | “If you want to talk, please go out- side. You're drunk,” said Rev, Homan. “You can’t put me out,” replied Gorre. H tev. Homan shoved back his sleeves | and left the pulpit. Goore mad» use of some violent language. When the minister reached him he grabbed him by the collar. Gorre struggled, but Rev.

Then Homan finished his sermon, GORRE STRUGGLED IN VAIN.

Arthur Musgrove, a young farmer residing near Findlay, O., created considerable surprise recently by ap- pearing in one of Findlay’s principal streets driving a cow hitched to a | light wagon, causing his steed to navigate by giving continuous and vigorous twists to her tail. Mus- grove met a friend, James _ Boyle, near the city. Musgrove was driving a horse and Boyle was leading a cow. A trade was struck and the men swapped animals. Boyle led away his horse and Musgrove decided he would make the cow draw him. He hitched her up, but she wouldn't go. After an hour’s trials he tried the trick with her that Grover worked on the British lion, and it worked. Tribute to Old Age.

THE MAXIMS OF JUDY. {Georgs W. Stevens, in July Success.f[ Many praotice humanity to get the under hold. If you expect to make anything— expect to make mistakes. Set your stake, and before you reach it set it further ahead. He that opposes us sharpens our wits and becomes our helper. I would rather fail and know the cause than succeed and not know why. It is a mistake to eat all you can, spend all you hare, tell all you know or show all you feel. We look backward regretting, or forward hoping, while the present stands offering us flowers. Show me a man who has_ never made a mistake, and I will show you one who has never tried anything. If we could get a shield from the fear of things that never happen, our troubles wouid be reduced 90 pe cent. You can’t escape criticism; for, it you save your money, you are @ miser and a hog; and, if you spend it, you are a spendthrift and a dog. Don’t tell what you have of beauty, strength, education, money or genius. The only thing I care to consider is what you are doing with it. Hint for American Solons, When a dog in Japan disturbs the neighbors by barking at night, its owner is arrested and séntenced to work a year for the disturbed neigh- bors. The dog never barks again, for he is at ones put to death. —_—— Renowned Hair Restorer’ <a THE WASHINGTON BEE Jos. J. Kelley 782 SECOND ST., 8. W. COR.
