The Hses of Hypnotism.
Daniel T. Bulkley, money broker, of
Portland, Oregon, alleges himself to
be the victim of a strange hypnotic
swindle. Until recently he enjoyed
the acquaintance of two young men,
members of the Portland Hypnotic
Club. .
On the 20th of August,” said Bulk—
ley to the detectives. “the two men
called on me, and after talking to me
half an hour‘Or so they showed me a
wondrously beautiful diamond. I am
a good judge of stones, and this I
considered the greatest gem I ever be-
held. One of the men claimed it had
been in his family "upward of a cen-
tury. His mother needed $800 to fore-
stall the foreclosure of a mortgage,
and authorized him to hypothecate the
stone for that sum. She was willing
to pay three per cent a month for the
loan.
‘fI hadn’t more than $780 in my safe
just then, but the owner of the jewel
was satisfiedxto take that. The dia-
mond was deposited in a tin box and
sealed in my presence, and I after-
ward placed it in the bank I do busi-
ness with for safe keping. The two
men subsequently did not call on me
so frequently, and from some un-
known cause I lost interest in the
club and its object.
“Last Saturday I intuitively re-
solved to look once again at
the diamond. and to my horror I
discovered it to be nothing but a
worthless stone. Then I realized
that my two friends,had hypnotized
me on the afternoon I was swindled
out of $780.”
,Mr. Bulkley added that he saw the
two men when he could not help con-
fessing to the bunco operation con—
ducted while they had their victim
under hypnotic influences. They
promised to make restitution.

“ IT RAINED noes.n
i‘hoso Who Played aLJoke Upon the Miayor
Will Hardly Repeat It.
“Once inmy experience,” said the
Montana man in a musing tone, “I
ran remember when it actually rained
,logs. The shower did not last more
than five minutes, but they came very
lively while they were cominv. The
way it came about was this: .
“We thought we could play a joke
on the Mayor of the town in which 1
iived. \Vhen I say we, I mean the
Board of Councilmen. The Mayor
had been heard to say that he wanted
a dog, and along this line we worked
our joke. We resolved ourselves into
a committee of the whole to hunt
down all the dogs in the town. There
were a good many dogs in this town,
a good many that seemed to be ‘their
own dogs,’ so we collected all of them
together, and placed them in the May-
or’s room one night. He was a bach-
elor, and had chambers over the first
floor of the house which was knOWD
as the Town Hall. ‘The president of
the board and myself had collected
the dogs, and while the other Council'-
men took the Mayor to help them
decorate the town a bright vermilllon
hue we slipped the animals into his
room. We then joined the rest of the
Council. With due respect we all saw
the Mayor to his home at about.2:30
the next morning. The Mayor was
able to walk alone, if it was so late in
the morning; so, letting him go by
himself up the steps to his rooms, we
stood under the 'windows to watch
What would happen next.
“Soon we heard a struggling sound,
then a door banged to. A light
showed in the windows. The win-
dows were thrown up with a crash.
Amid a chorus of wild yelps and
muttered curses the shower of dogs
began.
“Look out!” shouted the president
of the board, who was the first to get
control over his laughter as the
shower commenced slackening, ‘he
will begin to shoot!’ ..
“The warning came none too soon,
nor scarcely soon enough. I thought
the next day, as I examined the bul-
let hole in my hat. There was a glit-
ter of bright steel in the window
above, and then that Gatling gun
sound which only a Montana man
can make a pistol produce.”
REWARDED WITH PEANUTS.
A Saco Woman’s Ouering to the Rescuer
of Her Son.
“During the twenty years I have
been coasting between Maine and the
Delaware Breakwater,” said Captain
Bella'tty of the American schooner
Leonora, “it has been my privilege to
save a. number of, persons from
“I have never sought any other re-
ward than the approval of my own
conscience for what was common hu-
manity, but once I was, forced to ac-
cept compensation for saving a life.
“I succeeded after a great deal of
difficulty in pulling a small boy out
of the harbor at Saco, Me., several
years ago. The boy was the son of a
widow who kept a peanut stand. I
took home the kid, who was as wet
as a. sea].
“I explained to the widow how her
son in a. few seconds more would have
been drowned. She was a woman
Who looked at things in a practical
light, and wasted no time in the dis-
play of unnecessary emotion.
“Oh, sir,” she said, “he’s but a. wild,
harum scarum broth of a boy, with-
out much sense but to run away every
blessed day. I promise you that I’ll
warm his jacket well when you go.
You have been that obliging, sir, to
bring the boy home just when I need-
ed him to chop the wood tliat'I must
reward you.’
“The widow then pressed me to ac-
cept a handful of peanuts from her
stock. I took the peanuts to save the
good woman’s feelings, and left her
cottage, from which before I had gone
far I heard wails of anguish as a slip-
per vigorously wielded warmed the
bedraggled boy into a condition of in-
tense muscular contortion.”
The Dog Aided the Hen.
As the story goes, the mistress of
the dog is also a keeper of hens. One
of these was setting upon a “clutch”
of thirteen eggs, and Den, the black-
and-tan, soon became very curious to
know why she stayed in the barn so
closely.
The dog, as it appears, had former-
ly been given to teasing the hen,
snatching her food away from her,
and otherwise making himself a tor—
ment; but this intercourse had grad-
ually turned into friendship, and the
two would sometimes be seen lying
and squatting side by side in the sun,
on a bit of carpet in the back porch.
During the three weeks that the
hen sat on her eggs Don used to pay
daily visits to the barn, and some‘
times he w0uld stay with her by the
half hour.
Then the chicks came out of their
shells. Don was intensely interested.
All day long he scarcely left the barn.
The next morning when the hen
stepped off the nest, and with a cluck
called her brood after her, Don fol-
lowed.
The hen fell to scratching, and the
fluffy chicks darted hither and
thither, picking up the tidbits which
the mother had uncovered.
“Good,” said Don to himself. “I
can help in this business,” and to the
terror of the chickens he' ran in
among them and began turning up
the soil at a lively rate. Then he sat
down and waited.
The mother hen called back the
chicks to the newly scratched earth,
and soon they picked it clean. Then
the dog took another turn. _And so
the good work proceeded, to the great
delight of all parties.
