A Teit In Mental Arithmetlo Tlkt
' Worried the 6tudenU,
They tiiid u schoolboy uud schoolgirl
party at a Hrooklyu man's bouse the
other night Father and mother were
permitted to mingle with the young
folks for awhile after the edge of the
first fun bud woru off. Tbere were
guiues that the elder folks knew noth
ing about, aud tbey Bat like wallflowers.-.
: : , -i ; , '
Finally a game of arithmetic was
started hy a boy who ts considered tbc
best cipherer of his class .la the high
school.. After 'several problems bad
been ' given of r an . odd nature, over
which .there were much laughing and
puzzling, father dared to speak up.
Said be: . . . , .. - . - !-...-. ..r.-. ..
"Boys and girls,, tbey used to give ns
this .example In mental arithmetic
wben 1 went to school,.;;. ! suppose it
will be easy for you, but It's the best I
can suggest to take part In the game."
And be recited this couplet: 1
, If a third of ilx were three
What would a fourth of twenty be? ,
The score of boys and girls present
went at It They wrinkled tbelr brows,
and tbey pursed tbelr lips. The use of
pencil and paper was not permitted. . .
The mathematician bad not been
among the first to try an answer. He
was plainly a little perplexed. Be
asked to have the problem repeated
and wanted father to reassure him
that It was a mental arithmetic exam
ple. Finally be, too, gave an answer.
But father shook bis bead.
"Well, then, papa, for goodness' sake
tell us what It can be," said bis daugh
ters. . ''
"The answer Is seven and a half, and
I'm surprised to see that I'm able to
stump all you high school stars." grin
ned father. "Come, mother, we may
as well depnrt Tbey don't play tbe
same arithmetic gomes that we did."
Tbe high school mathematician at
first declared that father was In error.
But next day be admitted that tbe an
swer was correct and that all bud beeu
stumped. New York Sun. - : ..

To Prevent Exaggeration.
There was unce a gentleman who,
baving killed n mnn. presented him
self to the editor of a newspaper.
"1 have come." lie said, "to tell you
about n painful, occurrence ut my
House. My hrntlier-ln liiw and I had
an argument, and I stubbed Mini, ami
then. In the exelietneiit of the moment.
I rut his throat. Knowing v.-1) at ex
aggerated stories are apt to get into
the newspaper. thought I had better
utep around ami tell von, exactly whut
did happen.''- I.onilu Spectator.

Mr. Macmlllnn, tbe publisher, bad a
good story to tell of the late Professor
Huxley. He was asked to write "Ele

be submitted the first sixteen pages
and then refused to continue, the work
oil the ground of overpressure. Eventu
ally Mr. .Macmlllnn bud these sixteen
pages made up in a "dummy" copy
und sent it to the author, who opened
the parcel and, without examining the
hook, rushed to a colleague and said:
"Look. That Scotc-hmnu has got

recovered from this unwonted hurst

Spared Hie Feelings.
It Is dillicult to be popular as a
customs inspector.- Everybody dislikes
these Inspectors. Everybody feels to
ward them like the old skipper. This
skipper, after undergoing several hours
J of suspicious cross questioning from
two Inspectors regarding Ids cargo, was
at last leaving the wharf wbeu a
young olllelul, unaware of his previous
grilling, accosted him. "Have you any
thing to declare, sir?" he demanded
sharply. Furious, the old skipper glared
at the young uiuu and shouted: "Yes,
young man, I've good deal to declare,
but I'd be ashamed to say it before a
boy like you. ou're too young to hear
whut 1 would like to declare."

FRENCH SAYINGS.
Merit Is ofteu an obstacle to ,
success, for the reason that It
ever produces two bad effects
envy aud fear.
The most certain consolation
ssninst all that can happen Is
always to expect the worst
The laud of marriage bas this
peculiarity that strangers are
desirous of Inhabiting It wbile
its natural Inhabitants would
willingly be exiled from It.
The man who Is most slow In
promising la most sure to keep
his word.
Love often makes a fool of the
cleverest men nnd ns often gives
cleverness to the most foolish.
True cournge Is shown by do
ing, without witnesses, tbat
which a man Is capable of doing
before the world.

Potts Not Guilty.
Canyon City, Ore., June 16. (Spe
cial "Not guilty" was the verdict of
the jury this evening in the case of
C." E. Potts, on trial in circuit court
here before Judge Dalton Biggs for
the past eight days, charged with the
killing of his wife at Mount Vernon
last July. The jury was out but a
short time, the case closing late thu
afternoon and Judge Biggs taking
not very long to instruct the jurors,
in whose hands Potts' fate was given.
The sensational features of 'the
first few days of the trial were lack
ing in the closing hours, the battle
developing into a hard legal fight
between the, attorneys. The outcome
ii scarcely any surprise here, yet
popular sentiment has been against
the prisoner.
Potts had little to say except that
the result was as he anticipated and
his many friends who came here
from Los Angeles and other places to
help him out expressed satisfaction.
Potis was indl'.cted- on a charge of
causing his wife's death by singu
lation, causing fracture of the hyoid
bone. Some of the expert testimony
given at the coroner's inquest and
before the grand jury was repudi
ated at the trial, and one doctor
acknowledged an error in applying
the wrong term to. the bone or car
tilege in the throat alleged to have
been broken. Potls' brother of Chi
cago was one of the attorneys for the
defense, and he and his assistants
left no ttone unturned in their ef
forts to free the accused man, who
is prominent in business affairs in
Los Angeles, and when arrested re
fused to fight extradfition but cinc
to Grant county voluntarily to stand
trial. "
