Doubtless most of you have read the
story in prose. Here is the way Chas.
Hills tells it in verse:
A Hindoo died—a happy thing to do
When fifty years united to a shrew.
Released, he hopefully for entrance cries
Before the gates of Brahma’s paradise,
“Hast been through purgatory?” Brahma said*
“I have been married!” and be hung his head’
“Come in! come in! and welcome, too, my son.
Married and purgatory are as one.”
In bliss extreme he entered heaven’s door '
And knew the bliss he ne'er had seen before.
He scarce had entered in the garden fair,
Another Hindoo asked admission there.
The self same question Brahma asked again,
‘‘Hast been through purgatory?” “Jfo.” What
then?”
“Thou can st not enter,” did the god reply.
“He who went in there was no more than I”
“All that is true.’but he has married been
And so on earth has suffered for his sin.” .
‘•Married! ’fis well, for I’ve been married
twice.”
“Begme? We’ll have no fools in paradise.”
Have you seen Will Norton recently?
If so, don’t you admire his newly ac
quired face ornaments? Or is it his
nerve you admire the most? Talk
about the queer freaks of shaving and
not shaving—but he is now entitled
to the plum pudding. It makes some
of his friends weep. Not I, though.
I’m proud of him. I delight in gazing
at him, anu go down town two or
three times a day just to see him.
Among the other freaks I notice
Dave Hanks and Charlie Alexander.

The Savannah News makes a bull’s
eye when it says an election bet is not
always what it seems. For ways that
are smart and tricks that deceive, the
man who makes bets on elections is a
dandy. He baits a hook for gudgeons,
and frequently lands them. A case in
point comes over the wires from Den
ver. A fellow out there put on a bait
for gold gudgeons, and the repoit is
that he has hooked a fish in New
Y ork.
The Denver man’s proposition was
this: He would bet $250 even, that he
could name twenty states that Bryan
would carry, and then SSOO even, that
Bryan would carry half oi the bal
ance; the bets to be considered to
gether. That is, if the first bet were
taken the other must be also.
On the face of the scheme it would
appear, at first glance, that the Den
ver man was an enthusiastic free si!-
verite, a disciple of Bryan so thor
oughly convinced of the righteousness
of his cause, and that the majority of
the people would soon come to the
same way of thinking', that he was
willing to wage’’ $750 that Bryan
would mate practically a clean sweep
of the country. “I’ll bet I can name
twenty states that will go for Bryan,
and that half the others will go for
him also. ” That is apparently what
the Denver man’s proposition means.
But in reality it means no such
thing. It is a “skin game” from begin
ning to end, in which the westerner

is playing a “dead sure thing” for a
stake of $250. And this is the way he
will do it: When he comes to naming
the twenty states that Bryan will
carry—the $250 bet —he will begin,
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, and so on, selecting
all the states that are morally certain
to go republican. He will lose that
bet, of course. Then will come the
SSOO bet—that- half the remaining
states will go for Bryan. The number
remaining will be twenty-five. He
will have to name only thirteen to
win. Nothing in political speculation
could possibly be easier. And the
Denver fisher for gudgeons will take
in a profit of- $250 without having
risked a cent.
It is reported that a New York man ]
has taken the bet—swallowed t! e bait
whole. It has frequently been asserted
that all the financial ability in the
country is not to be found in the
neighborhood of Wall street. This is
one incident going to prove the cor
rectness of the assertion.

WARDE TO NIGHT.
The Gnat ?ctor Will be Seen as “King
L nr.”
Lovers of Shakespeare and good
tragic acting will have to brush upon
their knowledge this weeK and turn
out in force next Thurs ay to see
Frederick Warde’s portrayal of “King
Lear” at the opera house.
The event is of more than ordinary* 1
social and dramatic importanci
because “King Lear” is the greates
tragedy Shakespeare wrote, am
, Frederick Warde is the greates
i Shakespearean scholar and actor ii
the country. It will certainly be t
great treat for Its qualities have bed
spread and lavishly praised through
out the country. The Salt Lake
Herald said of the first performance :
“ Mr. Warde’s achievement was
marvelous. The crucial test is. of
course, the great curse scene, and in
this he ran to grand heights. The
mad scenes were not less pathetic and
powerful, and throughout Mr. Warde
gives evidence of being entirely able
to cope with the great, character he
has ad Jed to his repertoire.’’
