J. D. FLINT. 'J'HIS twizzler really happened: A well-known man, who was noted for his disbelief in mind reading, went to a vaudeville performance which in cluded a demonstration of second sight. During the demonstration the man was startled to hear the blind folded performer say: “There is a gentleman seated in the tenth row. in the center section, in the second seat from the right-hand aisle who doesn't believe in second sight. In his left-hand vest pocket he has his little black purse and in that purse is a $5 bill. The number on the bill is D41852159A.” The well-known man felt in his j pocket and found the purse and the numbered bill, just as described. After ; a few minutes thought he analyzed | the problem. Would you have known i 1 how the performer knew all thus? (Answer on Page B-14.) (Copyright, 1937.) — ■ --•-— I Prince Best Dresser.
