A PractkAl eke.
A few weeki ago a German by tie
name of Surbecker, employed in tie
forge dqiartment of tie Dotct Sump
ing corajKiny, Cambritlge, ilajw., vnx.
made tie rictim of a practical joke that
box since resulted ia its becoming in
tone and being incarcerate! in tie lun
atic asjlom at Worcester. Tie facts in
tie case aa gleaned from traatwortij
nources, are brieflj as follows : In ti
department where Starbecker waj em
plojed are several jocng men who were
acjuainted with his eccentricities, and
frequently made him tie butt for all
iettj- jokes. One day one of tie gang
took tie German aide and told htm
tiat in a certain cemeterr in Loogwood
tbtzre was. a grave in which several tioa-
aand doMars were buried, together with
tie body of a man who had a peculiar
religious belief while in life, and which
corresponded with that of Starbecker.
He wan led to believe that br risitinz
the cemetery on a certain night and re
peating portions of his cited ail would
be made clear to him, and the money
would be his. He proceeded to act on
tii saggestions cf tie fellows, and one
dark night walked over, accompanied by
them to the cemetery, as directed, and
went to a grave in the remote pari ot
tie yard. Here was told to kneel be
fore a tombstone and reteat tie names
of certain gods, and when tie came of
the nght one was reached, he would
know all a spirit would appear and
designate tie hiding place of tie money.

The poor fellow fell in a fit. EecoTer-
ing from this, he started on a keen run
for home, reaching it about midnight.
nearly dead from fright- From that
sight Starbecker has been more or less
affected in his mind. He has neglected
his work, and seemed to be im pressed
with the idea that tie money would be
his sometime. He went to tie factory
recently with a lot ef docsmests drawn
np in German, and wished them trans
laud into Ertglhh. It was then dis
covered that he was insane, and he was
taken to tie asylum. Tie young men
Patrick Crowley, Barney Welch, Pat

mech concerned over tie affair, and

was induced to promise him his carte.
It was to arrive on the night before the

come. Early next morning tie oScer
was riding out o barracks, when, just
as he reached the gates, he heard his
name shouted by a breathless runner.
Turning round he saw Prince Arthur,
noshed and panting; rushing along at
full speed, and hoHiag up, in explana
tion of his tmprinoely haste, .tie prom
ised photograph. Something had hap-
pened to prevent its presentation on tie
night, and tic Prince had turned out
early in order that with his own. Bps he
might make apology for the apparent
breach of promise. Very few men, I
imagine, would have taken, that trouble
about a portrait which could be sent by
post, and I doubt if there is another
prince of our own or any other reigning
family who would have done so. Xo
body except a prince could have done it
without appearing fussy and .undigni
fied. Bet its tiougitfuleess and del
icacy made his conirade-in-arms all the
prouder. It is no wonder that he is
spoken of not only 'kindly but enthu
siastically. London Coi respondent.
