The speaker was Henry Nore: one of the millionaire manipulators | tia The of finance in New - York. and scene was In his private office only other person present was Loraine, for some years the dential secretary of Mr. Norcross now a suitor for the hand of his ¢ a- ployer’s only daughter. *No, Carl, 1:do not think I cui give my consent,’ continucd the hice ker. ‘‘But sit down and we wili ‘iaik it over. Now why should 1 give my daughter to you?” The question was unexpected an: was capable of but one answer. “Well, sir, I love Helen and she says she returns my affection, but will only marry with her father’s consent.’’ “Good girl,” man. “I think,” continued Carl, ‘‘that my habits are good, and the chief ob- jection I can see is my lack of wealth. I am certain that I have en- deavored to be faithful to my duties.” After a moment's pause, Mr. Nor- cross said: “Carl, I am going to ex- plain more fully how I feel about this matter. When I was your age I had no more money than you have, COB. chuckled the old | and I lacked the education that has been given you. As you say, you are faithful and of good habits, but I want more than that fo. my daugh- ter. 1 have money enough, and when I die it will all go to Helen. For Hel- en’s husband I want a man who will be able to handle this property wise- ly. I have made my money by my wits, while you are to-day no bet- ter off than you was three years ago, except from the meager amount you have saved from the liberal salary I allow you. I have seen this feeling growing between vou and Helen, and have hoped to see you wake up. 1 canrot consent to an engagement, but will make an agreement with you. If within the next three months you succeed in making a thousand dollars by the shrewd use of your wits, I will consent to your marriage to Helen.” Noting the young man’s look of discouragement at this, the old man continued: ‘“Do you remember how last week I made $8,000 from my brother by learning that he had sold short on C. and Q., then buying up all I could find on the market and gelling to him at a large advance? He is my brother, and if he was in trouble my money {is his, but in a busicess transaction I will catch him if possible. Keep your e¥es open and your wits on the alert, and I sine- rerely wish you success.’ Ten weeks of the three months had gone by and the one thousand dollars seemed as far away ag ever. Mr. Norcross was in his office. pre- paring to attend an important meet- ing of the S. and M. railroad. He had stepped into a brick vault that had been built in the rear of his of- fice in order to get a bundle of pa- pers that would give him control of the railroad and permit him to diec- tate its policy—to his own advan- tage, of course. Just as he stepped inside the vault, a gust of wind swung the door ®o and the spring lock held it fast. A small baried window prevented any possi- bility of suffocations, and ip a half larghing tone the broker called for Carl to open the door. A daring thought came to the young man and he rose to the occa- for. \ “Im afraid I have forgotten the combination,” he sald. What the old ran sald was to the point, but pro- fane When he quieted off a trifle, the young man sald: “I think a check for a thousand might set my wits to working.’ Again the violent language flowed thrcugh the little window, until: tha secung man reminded Mr. Norcross that the board meeting would be ca''ed In twenty minutes. After a pause, a question floated through the window. ‘Shall I put the name of Carl Loaine on that check?’ “If you please,” was the polite re- ply. The check fluttered out through the window and in a moment the door was opened. Furious at the trick, Mr. Norcross stopped long enough to say, ‘““That was rascality, not the excercise of your wits.” ‘‘One moment,” replied the young man ‘‘Speaking of wits, you forget that a key Is hanging inside the to be used in just such an emergency as this. I. presume vdur wits failed to work promptly this time.”’ As the humor of the situation dawned on the irate broker. he smiled grimly, and in spite of his grea. haste, he paused long enough to say, “You'll do. I think you will find Helen at home this evening.” Hypothesis of Telepathy. Four hypothesis for telepathy have been suggested: That icle- pathic communications may be due: first, to some kind of vibration, eth- eric or otherwise, emitted by one brain and impinging on the other; second, by direct action of the mind on another’s brain in such way as to evoke the desired thought; third, by insight of the receiving mind into the brain when the thought arrives (clairvoyance); or, fourth, by some direct and Incomprehensible com- munion, of mind with mind. Many a man has failed while walt- ing for experience to teach him how to advertise judiciously.

Very early in the history of our coun- pu-sed laws agninst | hunting, some of which were very se- ludicrous. As sample of such laws I quote from Mar- | tin’s laws of North Carolina, volume 1. page 69, which is probably one of the quite in America, being passed in “And forasmuch as there are great numbers of idle and disorderly persons who settled habitation visible of supporting them selyes by industry” and honest calling. many of whom came in from neighbor ing colonies without proper passes, and kill deer at all seasons of the year, and often leave the carcasses in the woods. and also steal and destroy cattle, and carry away horses, and commit other enormities, to the great prejudice of the inhabitants of this province; be it therefore enacted by the aathority aforesaid that every person who shal! hunt and kill in the king’s waste within this province, and who is not possesed of a settled habitation of the same shall be obliged to produce a certificate, when required, of his having planted and tended five thousand corn-hills, af five feet distance each hill, the preced- ing year or season, in the country where he shall hunt, under the hands of at least two justices of the peace. of the said country and the hand of at least one of the church wardens of the parish where such person planted and tended such corn, as aforesaid. “And Le it further enacted, that if any person as aforesaid is found hunt- ing and does not produce such certifi- cate, as aforesaid, when required, he shall forfeit his gun and five pounds proclamation money for each offense. ae HE FOUGHT AT GETTYSBURG. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., who lost a foot at Gettysburg, writes: “Elec- tric Bitters have done me more good than any medicine 1 ever took. For several years I had stomach trouble, and paid out much money for medicine to little purpose, until I began taking Electric Bitters. I would not take $500 for what they have done for me.” Grand tonic for the aged and for fe- male weaknesses. Great alterative and body builder ; best of all for lame back and weak kidneys.
