HOW SHE DID IT.
<Sirl Caaliier’s Mind Rp&cling Methods o2
Making Change.
The girl cashier of a Madison street
restaurant was for three weeks believed
by one of the customers to be a lineal
descendant of Morgan le Fav and to
have some of the family traits of Heller,
PARLIAMENT AND THE TURF.
the second sight magician, for she
seemed to know by intuition or instinct
or something els8 what was the price of
the meal he had consumed and alro just
the amount cf money in his hand when
he approached to pay. He first noticed
that when be presented a 35 cent check
she immediately laid upon the rubber
mat a dime and a nickel which she had
been holding for change.
“How, ” this man inquired of him
self, “did she know that 15 cents would
be the correct changer There was no
earthly way for her to tell what money
I was going to offer her either. Hqw
did she come to have the exact change
ready without a second’s delay or with
out having to go to the cash register for
it?” He could not answer to his own
satisfaction.
The next day be bought a 45 cent
meal, and she promptly laid a uickie
before him, the 5 cent piece being the
only coin she held in her hand. It was
the correct amount, as he gave her a
half dollar. He experimented several
times afterward and at last appealed to
her for information.
“Why,” she said, “didn’t yon ever
notice the tint of your check?” When I
see you coming 20 feet away, I know
by the slate colored check that you have
eaten 20 cents’ worth. If you have a
red ticket, that warns me that you want
to pay for a two bit meal. A blue one
means 30 cents. This yellow one is, of
course, for 40 cents. The amount is
printed upon the check, but the color
is my warning. ”
“Yes,” said the ether, somewhat re
lieved, “that seems easy. But still my
money is not of different colors. IIow
do you know what change to have
ready? That’s mind reading, sure.”
“Not at all. When you come with a
quarter ticket, you will usually give me
the exact change or half a dollar. I
have a quarter ready for you in my left
hand in case you give me a half. Sup
pose your ticket is a 35 ceut one; you 11
either give me the correct amount or a
half dollar—or perhaps a dollar. With
15 cents in one hand and 50 cents in
the other I’m ready for any demonstra
tion almost.”—Chicago Record.

Fills
V Case In Whicli a Government AVaa Al-
most Overthrown by Ascot.
Five or six years ago an astute Rad
ical, Mr. Samuel Storey, with charac
teristic wariness, very nearly caught
the government cf tie clay tripping. He
had been “left speaking” cn a Tuesday
night in June and announced his in
tention to continue his remarks on a
rather exhaustive scale upon the follow
ing Thursday, when the debate was to
be resumed. This was just what a num
ber of Unionise gentlemen wanted, for
it happened that a little “event” known
as the Gold Cup was to be decided that
afternoon at Asoct, and, much as it
grieved them to mi« the eloquence of
Mr. Storey, they were bound to choose
between the two attractions. So—possi
bly with grieved hearts, and also possi
bly not-—they hie# them to the royal
heath in comfort and contentment.
On returning they “looked in” to the
house of commons to see everything
was all right and found that everything
had been all wrong. For the sagacious
Sunderland Radical, having glanced
around him and beheld the poverty of
the land, thought that his own words
might be silvern, but a division would
be golden. Accordingly he stated his
intention net to indulge in further crit
icism, and before the few' Unionists
could recover from their amazement or
put up a man to i~lk against time until
the Ascot visitors returned a division
was called. •
A few of the “early birds,” having
missed the last race in order to reach
Westminster as speedily as possible,
drove into Palace yard as the leather
lunged policemen were shouting “ ’Vi
sion!” The dregd word, borne on the
summer breeze, told its own tale. Into
the lobby they rushed like madmen,
just in time to save the government
from an awkward defeat. Mr. Storey,
though not a sporting man, smiled
sweetly. He had been done by “only u
short head. ’ And he would have actu
ally won if a dozen horse racing lovers
of his own side of politics had not also
abjured Westminster for the pleasant
plain of Berkshire. Thus was Mr.. Stor
ey prevented from bringing off a glori
ous triumx)h.
The moral of the tale is the fallibil
ity of human nature—even Radical hu
man nature. “The Cup” begat Mr.
Storey’s fearful hope of “a coup,” and
he very nearly succeeded in bringing it
off. Since that time the party “whips”
have marked the Ascot Thursday with
a black mark and taken heed unto theii
forces.
Bv way of revenge -it was the Ascot
Friday — which nobody troubled to
think about—that ruined the Rosebery
government in 1895. Men went away
to see the racing, and on returning to
town found, when dining at the club,
that an ardent band of astute diplomat
ists had skillfully toppled over Sir Hen
ry Campbell-Bannerman, the war min
ister, on the comparatively insignificant
question of cordite. It is a hard thing,
after a “clack” week in backing horses,
for a poor legislator to find himself fact
to face with the terrors of a genera
election.— J^ondcg ^telegraph.

C. J. Hilton of Madison. “It was at

A man who wore the Loyal Legion
button said he did not think the Second
Wisconsin was in the fight with Stuart
at Brandy Station and Fleetwood Hill
He asked for the story*, however:
“I was a member of the Eighth New
York Msaid Mr. Hilton, “and our regi
ment was part cf the cavalry command
sent under Pleusonton to look up Jeb
Stuart just before. Gettysburg. We
found Stuart—-yellow sash, black hat
plumes, gold spurs and all that—at
Brandy Station, and with him were all
his riders. The fight was a hot one, and

tory on the ground that we learned
what we wanted to know—where Stu
art was cud what Lee' was about. Some
of the heaviest fighting of the day was
at a spot called Fleetwood Hill, and it
was there that the Wisconsin trooper
captured his three men.
“We Lad been ab it hammer and
tongs for two or three Lours, when
there came one cf those let ups you all
have - seen—for all the world like two
bulldogs looking for a fresh hold. Whilo
both sides were waiting for the order to
advance a Confederate lieutenant and
two men rode cut from their tents,
moving toward us as if searching for
something on the field. Everybody cn
our side watched them and wondered
what they were looking for. The two
lines were fully two-thirds of a mile
apart, and the three had get about a
Tnird of the way across toward us
*3L’hen over on the right of our line was
a stir and commotion, and the excite
ment spread along until it reached us.
“The right of cur lino was concealed
£tom us by a little grove of oak trees.
A trooper in blue, mounted on a big bay
that looked and carried himself like a
thoroughbred, was riding out to meet
those three men in gray. He sat on his
horse like a riding school raster. When
within 100 yards of Stuart’s three men
be halted, saluted with his saber and
dropped his carbine and revolver. The
three men from the other side had been
watching him, and, understanding the
challenge, dropped their arms.
“Then came the fight. It was a saber
contest, with three against one. That
Wisconsin man disarmed that lieuten
ant in two passes, hamstrung the horse
of another and put his blade through
the shoulder of the third. He brought
the three into cur lines.

A Coin In the Bottle.
There have been patented all kinds of
schemes devised for the purpose cf se
curing a bottle that cannot be refilled
after having once been emptied of its
contents. A great deal of fraud is said
to be perpetrated by filling theTiottles
of some standard liquor with an inferior
grade and palming it off as the original
bottling. An ingenious Philadelphian
proposes to accomplish tnis by blowing
a coin in the body of the glass bottle,
and he thinks that this will be tempt
ing enough to induce some one to break
the bottle as soon as it has been emptied
