Little Harrys s Fire- King Act.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Little Harry Berman, of Chicago, was
showing his playmates how to bera
great magician with the aid of a mouth-
ful of gasoline and a parlor match.
That is about as far as Harry has been
able to tell the story. Ilarry is 12 years
old. Once he went to a circus, where a
man greatly astoniched him by eating
fire. After that a big boy at school told
him that the man didn’t really eat fire;
that he just filled his mouth with gaso-
line and set it on fire.
Ie wanted several more boys to see
him do his act. Ile does not remember,
however, what really did happen after
he squirted the gasoline at the match
blaze. The other boys do not recall
very much about it, either. They
thought little Harry had exploded.
“Oh, it was an awful sight,” said one
of the little boys. “Ie was jus’ doin’
the great act lovely when he blewed
up.”
He will recover in a few days, and
has promised never to become a great
magician again.

A country miss, with blooming cheeks,

after having succeeded in selling them
to the merchant. The latter looked at
them carefully, and asked, “Are you
sure they will lay there?” The country
