WALDEN, THE MAGICIAN.
Prof. Walden, who is giving per¬
formances under the auspices of the
Alkahest Lyceum Assooiaton, will
appear for one night only at the Cov¬
ington Opera House on Saturday
night, March 20, and will no doubt play
to a good audience. His reputation
is wide, he being considered along in
the same class with the late Herman.
He puts up a great, performance and
entertains his audience in a thoroughly
capable manner.
In speaking of him the Jacksonville
Times Union says:
Walden the weird wizard of the in¬
visible, fooled the Stetson University
men and women in fine style. Hand¬
kerchiefs appeared and then faded in¬
to thin air. Now you see it and now
you don’t. A young man loaned his
hat to the wizard and the wizard
handed him a lemon. The wizard had
them all—every one was bewildered
and befuddled and the magician scored
ten. _
Go out and see this wonderful |
magician. The prices will be 35 and
50 cents. It will be worth double the
price of admission.

Very Unlucky.
Not long ago a certain farmer be¬
came bankrupt. In the course of his
examination before the official receiver
he admitted that be had been speculat¬
ing on the turf. Moreover, he went on
to explain that he had experienced
what he described as ‘-plaguy bad
luck.”
‘‘Did you know anything about borse
racing?” the bankrupt was asked.
“No,” was the reply; “that’s why I
engaged a fellow who did to buy some
’osses for me.”
“And these horses turned out badly,
I suppose,” suggested the official re¬
ceiver.
“Very,” was the reply, “though I
don’t blame the ’osses for that. They
tried hard, but summat wor bound to
turn up to upset ’em. They nearly
alius ran second!”
“How do you account for that?”
“Well, sometimes they ran second
’cos they’d overmuch weight to carry,
sometimes they ran second ’cos the
jockey had backed another and want¬
ed ’em there, but more often than not
they ran second ’cos the judge would
have 'em there! Sometimes, again,
they ran second ’cos there wor nobbut
two ’osses in the race!”—London Tele¬
graph.
Responsive.
There was at least one responsive
hearer in the crowded little church in
an English village, and it happened
this way:
Guests had arrived unexpectedly at
the country parsonage on Sunday
morning.
The weekly supply of butter hud run
short, so the hospitable host dispatch¬
ed old Joe, the handy man. to his
neighbor, Mr. Paul, whose dairy al¬
ways boasted a surplus. The parson
proceeded to church with his well pre¬
pared sermon on some of the deep
sayings of the gTeat apostle and was
well under way with it when old Joe,
returning empty banded, concluded he
would quietly slip in and hear his mas¬
ter preach.
Just as be entered the minister
leaned over the pulpit, stretched out
his hand with a most impressive in*
terrogation in voice and manner and
called out, “And wbat did Paul say?”
Distinctly sounded through the church
old Joe’s reply;
“He say, inarster, be ain’t going to
let you have no more butter till you
pay for the last you got.”
Tha Tomb of Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan, the Mongol chief, in
the thirteenth century proved himself
one of the world’s greatest warriors.
His tomb exists at Edchen Koro and
is described in Count de Lesdain’s
"From Pekin to Sikkim;” “Two small
tents, one behind the other and con¬
nected by a very low inner door made
of wornout felt and admitting through
their rents the rain and the wind, are
the ‘monument’ destined to perpetuate
the renown of the greatest conqueror
the world has known. The ashes of
the body of Genghis Khan are deposit¬
ed In a kind of chest cubic in shape
and placed on a wooden support made
of small colored pillars adorned with
paintings ou all its sides except that
facing south, which is covered with a
finely worked copperplate represent¬
ing a divinity surrounded by four ani¬
mals which are not easy to identify.
The tomb, in fact, has not always
beeu here, but it is difficult to know
exactly where the first descendants of
the great emperor laid his remains.”
She—What did papa say when you
asked him for my hand?
ne—Why, he couldn’t say a word.
“He couldn’t?”
“Ne; your mother was there!”— Yon
