Patrons of a (Jrand avenue auction
house Indulged In a mild propensity to
gamble this morning lu bidding on a
quantity of uncalled-for baggage sold
for the Kansas City Southern Hallway
Company, says the Kansas City Star.
There were more than 200 pieces dis
posed of, Including paper parcels, paste
board and wooden boxes, handbags, suit
cases and trunks.
All of the pieces were more or less
dilapidated, The nature of their con
tents was kept secret, so that purchas
ers experienced the risk and fascina
tion of buying "a pig in n poke." Bid
ders were guided largely by "hunches"
as to the value of a package, and they
would frequently compete In a spirited
fashion for a small parcel, when hardly
an offer could be secured for a larger
one of similar appearance. "Good goods
coin in small packages" was the old
saw that seemed" to be In the minds of
a majority of the speculators.
"Oh-h-! Here Is a valuable-looking
bundle," cried the auctioneer, holding
up the smallest of a pile of parcels and
peeking carefully Into a small hole lu
the enveloping paper wrapper. "It's
red, too."
This bit of Information so intiatnd
the Imagination of a stout colored wom
an that she bid 40 cents as an initial
offer and was awarded the prize before
she had a chance to change her mind.
The package contained a soiled red
"bandanna" handkerchief.
Well-trained employes passed up the
various objects to the platform on
which the auctioneer held forth. Hand
bags, "telescopes" and trunks were la
boriously hoisted up, the helpers strain
ing and groaning In an affectation of
bone wrenching effort. The instant a
sale wtis concluded the object was un
ceremoniously slapped off the platform,
usually giving out a hollow echo as It
lightly struck the floor. A grunting em
ploye tugged desperately at a large
cloth "telescope" and slammed it down
with a crash on the platform.
"Then; you are!" exclaimed the auc
tioneer, triumphantly. "There Is a
valise full of gold nuggets lost by a
miner returning from the Klondike.
How much am I offered?"
Eighty cents was bid and accepted.
Pushed from the platform, and "tele
seojie" fell with a sound that unmis
takably proved it empty. The crowd
roared with laughter.
A large crowd attended the sale and
the bidding was spirited, though the
advances In offers seldom exceeded 5
cents at a time.

this object through the needle hole In
the card at about an inch from It. The
Insect will appear quite distinct and
about ten times larger than Its natural

draw the card without disturbing the
object, the hitter will be Invisible. Tlie
reason Is that the naked eye cannot see

the ctird with the hole enables the eye
to approach within an inch and to see
