It Looked Like a Sure Loser, but Wat i Really Easy Money, fthere vas queer bet, one that seemed somewhat foolhardy, made by a politician a few weeks before the election in 190G, when it was apparent that McKinley would sweep the coun try. He had been approached by a man who offered to make a "majority" wager. "I'll tell you what I'll do," the politician replied. "I'll bet you $50 that I can write down the names of thirty states that McKinley will carry." The man snapped up the bet eagerly, and the politician wrote the list of names and gave them to a friend to keep, sealed, until the day after elec tion. "Now," he said, "just to show you how big a cinch McKinley has, I will bet you $500 that I can name ten ad ditional states that he will carry." The man who took the first bet jump ed at the second chance, feeling cer tain that forty states would not go Republican. When the election was over and the votes counted the envelopes were open ed. In the list of thirty states the politician had named all the solid south and the doubtful states. He lost $50. But in the list of ten he named states that did not go Democratic in twenty years until the election of 1912. Louisville Times. LAID THE SPECTER. The Story of a Ghost With a Troubled Conscience. The following well authenticated ghostly happening is recorded in Jessie Adelaide Middleton's "The Grey Ghost Book:" A lady had taken a furnished house in Suffolk. England, from a widow who had lately lost her son. One day she was sitting in the drawing room when the figure of a boy of about thirteen walked across the room, halted oppo site a table on which was some china and began to weep bitterly. When she got up and hastened toward the boy to comfort him he at once vanished. As the same thing occurred repeatedly, the lady wrote to the owner of the house, seeking for some explanation. This was her answer: "Will you kindly search the table with the china ornaments on it. and if you find sixpence in any of them put it into the poor bag in church? I gave him sixpence to put in the bag the last Sunday he went to church, and instead of putting it in he kept it to spend. He told me about it before he died, but I did not know where he had hidden it." The tenant searched and found the sixpence in a little china jug She put it into the poor bagand was never again visited by the apparition. "Paying Through the Nose." "Paying through the nose" is to be .indirectly swindled in a transaction or to pay an exorbitant price for a thing in consideration of long credit. A variant is "to be bored through the nose," "bored" here having the mean ing of cheated, deceived: At this instant he bores me with some trick. "Henry VIII.," I. 1, 128. One that hath gulled you. that hath bored you, sir."Life of Cromwell," 1602, II, h, 103. And Howell in his "Instruction For Forren Travell" (1650). page 59, "had known divers Dutch gentlemen grosly guld by this cheat (the selling of forged manuscripts to young travelers in Italy), and som English bor'd also through the nose this way by paying excessive prices for them."London Notes and Queries. Coughing In Lieu of Oratory. A singular fashion which prevailed among the preachers of Cromwell's time was that of coughing or hemming in the middle of a sentence in order to attract the attention of the con gregation The necessity of continually attracting the attention of the listeners could not have argued well for the brilliance of the sermons. Some au thorities say that the preachers cough ed merely as an ornament to speech. At any rate, when the sermons were printed, as many ot them were, the coughs and hems were always indicat ed on the margin of the page. St. Louis Republic. Strange Bequests. In his will Stephen Swain of the parish of St. Olave.

C. as a re minder of "his ingratitude and Inso lence."London Mail. Altogether Different. "After all, life is a good deal like Wall street" "In what way?" "It is all a gamble, you know."

Ferdinand Hodler's picture "Das Mutige Weib" (the courageous woman) has been much discussed in art circles, especially in Switzerland, the home oi the artist. The look of terror on the woman's face is lifelike The story of how the artist got the facial effects, depicting fright and determination, is as follows Four models came to his studio tc sit for the picture. He asked them in turn to wear an expression such as they would have on jumping into a lifeboat from a sinking ship in a storm. Not satisfied with the results, he took them up to the flat leaded roof of his house, which is five stories high, and placed a chair on the extreme edge The poor models were dreadfully frightened, and each in turn sat wide eyed on the forward edge of the chair, too nervous to look in any direction but straight forward. The artist chose one of the women and took up his easel and rapidly sketched in the face and upper part ol the figure, though not at all too rapidly for the sitter.Munich Cor.

He is of the opinion that "some reformer is play ing ghost with the best of inten tions." He is well aware that "many young menand old ones too stay in town late o'nights lapping up the stuff which steals the brains away when they should be at home."
