One AVTto Underwent the Operation
Desorlbea the enMtttloiiH.
In The Wide World Magazine Rich
ard Hicks, an old time actor, tells of bis
narrow escape from being hanged on
the stage of the Qneen's theater, Dnb
lin. He was playing the part of Achmet,
a particularly villainous character, who
after a long career of crime is, to the
general satisfaction of the audience,
captured by two British soldiers and
promptly hanged.
"One night, while struggling with
toy captors, the rope slipped from my
choulders and knotted itself around my
neck just as I was being hanled up!"
says Mr. Hicks. "Never shall I forget
that awful moment. Directly I felt the
tug at my neck I gave a convulsive kick
and tried to shout 'Stop!' bnt the word
could not escape from my twitching
lips. I could only make a gurgling
noise. Frantically I kicked and fetrng
gled. Pain there was none, strangely
enough, beyond a choking, suffocating
sensation, and I could hear the tumul
tuous applause of the audience, who
were hugely entertained with what they
imagined was my realistic acting.
"Then a terrible sensation, like mol
ten lead rushing down my spine, per
vaded my whole body, and I thought
my legs were bursting. I gave another
mighty struggle and strove ah I how I
strove to scream. I sepined to behold a
mighty rush of green water, and my
ears were filled with the roar of a cata
ract. I have a dim recollection of see
ing a great criinon sun shining dimly
from behind the waterfall, and I can
remember falling indefinitely through
Bpace!
"Two days afterward I recovered con
sciousness, and then I suffered inde
scribable agony. The snffocating sen
sation still remained, bnt it was ac
companied by an unquenchable thirst,
not to mention f earf nl pains in my body'
and limbs."

ArnhH Into Submission.
During the French conquest of Al
geria (1830-1833) negotiations for peace
were entered upon with the sheiks of
certain Arab tribes, and a" meeting for
the settlement of terms was arranged to
take place at the French headquarters.
The French officers received their guests
with great hospitality, and after the
banquet given in their honor, at which
the utmost splendor was employed, in
order to dazzle their eyes and captivate
their simple minds, an adjournment
was made to a large hall, where 51.
Hondin, the celebrated conjurer, who
had accompanied the French forces,
gave an exhibition of his hkill.
They stared in open mouthed wonder
at all the tricks that were performed,
and a feeling of awe crept over them as
they witnese3 the mysterious appear
ance and disappearance of various ob
jects. But what appeared to them most
marvelous was the apparent manufac
ture of cannon balls. M. Hondin passed
round among them a high hat, which
they examined very carefnlly, but with
out suspecting anything nnnsnal in ei
ther its make or its appearance. When
the hat was returned to him the con
jurer placed it on the floor iu the mid
dle of the stage in full view of his an
dieuce. He then proceeded to take from
the hat cannon balk apparently with
out number, and rolled them across the
floor into the wings. With this the per
formance terminated.
The chiefs then consulted among
themselves and came to the conclusion
that it was useless to offer any opposi
tion to an army that could turn out its
ammunition in so easy a manner. They
therefore signed the required treaty and
departed to tell their friends in the
desert of the wonderful power of the
invaders. Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Letter to John.
A curiosity in the shape of a letter
was mailed at a rural postoffice recent
ly On a sealed, stamped envelope was
the following.
"Dear John I write you this to say
1 got your letter on a Tuesday morn
in, an this is wrote to yon on a
Wednesday night I will expect you
shore on a Sunday As yon told me you
didn't want folks to know where you
wnz at, I liRve wrote an sealed .your
address on the inside, so's the postmas
ter won't be none the wiser. No one
on earth will know whar you are now.
Write as eoon as you git this." At

A Burman mile is about equal in
length to two English miles. The word
for "mile" in Burmese means "to Bit"
and a mile is the distance that a man
goes before he 'onsiders it necessary to
sit down.

A Caril Talile Romance.
Speaking of the innnia of some so
ciety women for gambling, a story ia
told of an interesting card playing ro
mance which was recently enacted In
London :
A very rich man sat playing ecarte
with a pretty girl whom he intensely
admired. She went on recklessly stak
ing her money till rnin stared her in
the face.
"Doubles or quits," said the tempter.
She assented, knowing that she conld
never pay. She lost.
"Yourself or quits," Eaid her oppon
ent. Again the girl summoned all her wits
and looked him straight in fhe face.,
"Are yon proposing to marry me?" she
asked.
He nodded.
He won the game, and the pair made
one of the happiest unions known in
England at tho present day. Paris
