"Metempsychosis!?" said the Old
Joke as he deftly placed another pill
in his pipe relates the New York Her-
ald. "Why of course! Old story to
me I assure you. Transmigration of
souls au everyday occurence. And as
for reincarnation why hlesa you my
boy I have been coming back to earth
for many centuries and In as many
different forms as those of the ani-
mals that Noah not old Noah from
my point of view believe me! had In
his ark.
"I tell you my boy these theoao-
phists have got the right idea about It.
We die but to live again. We make
our little brief appearance on the stage
of life and then we vanish only to re-
turn in some new guise our astral
body the same our terrestrial form
the only thing changed ahout us. And
sometimes that 3s not changed as much
as might he wished. I have worn
many guises in my day. Heigh bo!
It wearies me to begin to think of
them all. There was the time when
Adam cracked his sides with laughter.
He had Riming me upon his better half
and Kve well Kve was a woman of
exceeding politeness (as evidence her
courlesy to the serpent) and she did
her very best to smile at me although
I am fully convinced that she did not
see my point at all.
"The next time f remember to have
rome to earth was In the- Land of Nod.
That was about 9.000 years ago as near
as I can recollect. It caused a great
sensation among the simple Noddites
when I was suddenly sprung upon
them a3 a New Thing-. If I recollect
aright I was printed then in the news-
papers of the time and the reporters
were kind enough to write 'Laughter'
in hraekels after me so as to make
sure that the inhabitants would ap-
preciate me at my cachinnatory worth.
"Life is too short for me to attempt
to rehearse my various reincarnations
since then. I have appeared in comic
opera and tragedy; have graced the
minstrel stage and appeared suddenly
ia the pulpit as a racy Don Mot. I have
traveled all over the civilized world
a3 a Newspaper Joke. I have been Il-
lustrated and set to music; have helped
to make the fortunes of several come-
dians and the reputations of numerous
after-dinner speakers. And last night
will you believe It? one of the best
and most original
"Hello!" said the Old Joke sadly.
"My pipe has gone out and I have not
another pill In the box. I shall die If
I cannot get a smoke I know I shall.
But never mind! I shall soon come
hack again In some new form and the
suffering public will accept me as the
latest and newest thing in Jokes!"
IN A SOUDAN DUNGEON.
Horrible llnrbarltlr iHncoveretl hj
I he llrilli.li in a I.htkc
City l'rinnn.
The British took possession about
a year ago of the large city of Kano
in ho western Soudan whose Emir
had refused to abide .by the treaty
which had platted its territory In the
liritisli dominion. Sir F. I). Ltigard.
lio seized the city has written a de-
scription of the duneecn in which the
Emir kept his prisoners stales the
New York Sun.
When he visit d the dcn;;eon he
squeezed hi way into it through a
doorway only two feet six in' lies high
anil one foot six imhe wide. The in-
terior was divided by a thick mud
wail with a sinohu hole through it
into two compartments. ach IT by 7
on the floor and 11 feet hig!i.
This wall was piercer! with hor3 at
its base through which the legs of
those sentenced to (Ic.tth were thrust
and they were left to be trodden on
by the crowd of other prisoners till
they died of thirst and starvation
The place was perfectly airtight
and without ventilation except for the
hole in the-wall which served as a
doorway. The total space Inside was
2.C1S ruble feet and when Lugard's
troops took Kano 133 persons were
confined in this dungeon e;'ory night.
During the day they were turned out
into a small adjoining area. Some-
times as many as 200 persons were
packed Into the dungeon at one time.
As the ground area was only 2I1S
squaw feet there was not even stand-
ing room except by literally pricking
the prisoners like sardines in a box.
Several of them were crushed to death
every night and their bodies were
hauled out ia the niorn'i:".
The dung-eon was etr.pt if d of its vic-
tims Just before the British entered
the city. When Col. Moriand visited
it. two or three days !atr. the odor
was so Intolerable though it was
empty thai he did no' enter.
Three weeks later when I.ugnrd went
Inside the effluvia were unbearable for
more than a few seconds. In this
murderous pen two blscl. soldiers of
th" r!ri!i:h fore? who were taken pris
oners had ?cr;i confined.
One of the open spaces in the town
was the place where derapltntions
wpre regularly performed and another
place near the crest market was the
site where the limh's rf hapless pris-
oners were amputated almost daily.
