It 1ms been remarked that Mr. ITo-
bart is the fourth vice president of the
United States who has died in the
month of November. Hir death oc-
curred on the 21st (1899); Henry Wil-
son died on the 22d (1S75); Elbridge
T. Gerry who gave his name to tho
Etill popular trick of gerrymandering
on the 23d (1814); and Thomas A.
Hendricks on the 25th (1885). The
fact is of no significance whatever;
yet now that attention has been called
to it future vice presidents will per-

THE OLD CIRCUS MAN.
A young woman who worked her way
into the hearts but not the pocket-
books of a large circle of friends and
chance acquaintances by her talent as
ar fortune teller was recently moved at
the witching hour of twilight and after-
noon tea to betray deep-buried confi-
dences.' t - f .
"Indeed;" she said "merely for the
study of human nature it pays to mas-
ter the mysteries of the hand and' to
pose either seriously or otherwise as
an oracle. My old nurse taught me the
tea cup that is to read the grounds
and I picked up the 'cards' from a Ger-
man governess I used to see. But palm-
istry is the most fun because even the
steadiest and most conventional peo-
ple are believers in it. It is a science
though the gypsies who were once its
greatestexponentshave brought it into
disrepute. Ther are certain tricks of
the trade which I allow myself merely
to relieve its monotony for you know
you get tired of the line of the heart
the line of luck and so on with varia
tions.
"I can size up people immediately
and have positively developed the 'in
ner eye' that the eastern students talk
about. It is merely concentration
For instance there crowds up to me in
a group of silly chattering men and
women a sad yet pensive person on the
wrong side of 35. Her for it is almost
always a she her 'aura' is plain
enough a sort of depressinggray. I re-
fuse to tell her anything iu public but
1 win her lifelong devotion by a pri-
vate reading of marvelous accuracy. It
is pretty safe to tell people that they
had chances to marry long ago and will
have soon again. It does no harm and
often great good for a general 'fixing1
up mentally and physically frequently
results and brings the very thing I
dared to prophesy.
"Then there is the ambitious' young
fellow with clear eyes and tremulous
amile who walks off with the step of
Julius Caesar when I tell him he will
succeed. And the married belle of ma-
ture years who is trying to 'bluff her
new friends with details of her past
the peaceful dear old lady whose face
is as sweet and smooth as her rosy
palm the' woman with a mission or a
career and the old fellow whose hand
and features are a sure 'give away' of a
checkered past. The middle aged man
who has lost both illusion and fortune
is the hardest subject to deal with for
he will watch me as I scan his lines to
see if I am not a fraud. But once I win
him he is my strongest adherent.
"Strangely enough happily married
couples are not angry when I foretell
a second marriage to either man or
woman and widowers are generally
provoked when I say that they will
remarry. A widow unless she is very
old and 'cappy' usually smiles mys-
teriously and blushes when I hint at
another affinity. If I can once guess
how many children an elderly lady has
had she will rote me a witch. After all
quickness of intuition and tact are the
essential talents of an amateur sooth-
sayer who asks no fee and pleasantly
entertains both voungand old." N. V.

holiday falls as in 1890 on the. last
day of the month.
A still more striking coincidence has
been familiar for the past three-quarters
of a century to readers of Amer-
ican history. This was the death on
the same day and that day the fif-
tieth anniversary of the Declaration of
Independence of the Becond and third
presidents of the American republic
both of them signers of the declara-
tion and one of them its author. The
passing away of John Adams and
Thomas Jefferson (the former at 91
and the latter at 83) at an. interval of
a few hours on July 4 1826 was suffi-
ciently remarkable to suggest purpose
at least if not agreement on the part
of these old friends. It is a eoinci-
I dence perhaps unmatched in history.
Against November as so to speak a
I favorite death-month of American vice
presidents February may be. set. off
as a favorite birth month of Amer
ican and other men of genius most
notably George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln whose birthdays bring
two national holidays almost as close
together as Christmas and New Year's
day. On February 3 1900 Felix Men-

"If anything" said the old circus
man "the great giant used to come
out strongest in competitive contests.
You seo there he showed not only for
what he was but even greater by the
contrast Of course he was always
in contrast but here the contrast was
made more striking; and we never
failed to enter him in any sort of a
competitive contest that we could get
him into. Mowing contests for in-
stance the giant was very strong in;
and wo never used to miss an oppor-
tunity to put him into one of these
' when wo could. The old man was al-
i ways oh the outlook sharp for this
sort of thing in any form and if
he ran up against a mowing match
coming off say the day the circus
struck the town he'd get the giant
i into it somehow sure; not of course
' entering him as a giant or a big roan

delssohn would be 91 years of age; on I ba(o w(mlJ be three feet or there
abouts in length and the snath may
be four feet and a half long. Well
now the giant's scythe had a blade
about ten feet long and a handle
about 15. Those farmers would get
together in a grass lot to see what a
man Gould do say in half an hour
everything to count; wide of swath
forwarc cut cleanness and evenness
of the mowing ::nd so on. I suppose
that a man might cut a swath five
feet wide possibly more but more
likely less and his cut as he stepped
forward with even swing of tho scythe
might be a foot to 18 inches. The
Voung farmers and some fine old ones
L too for that matter would try one
after another in this competition
every man swinging along in hne
style til! pretty much all of them had
had their chance at it and then they'd
begin calling for the unknown and
then we'd bring up the giant.
"And he never failed to make a
sensation when he appeared; but when
h? stepped into the field and took
off his coat and tossed it into the
wagon in the road alongside the lot
aud took his scythe out of the wagon
with its ten-foot blade and 15-foot
snath and rolled up his sleeves and
grasped the scythe and set to mow-
ing then there was a sensation. Talk
about 'cutting a wide swath!' Why
you ought .to seen the giant. The
farmers cut maybe five feet the giant
15. They'd step forward a foot or
a foot and a half with every sweep
the giant four or five. feet. And he
was a good mower too; cutting close
and even and clear from side to side
Just think of it will you!: a man cut-
ting a path 15 feet wide and going
forward five feet at every stroke!
"Pretty soon the giant would stop
and pull a scythe stone out of his
bootlegs this stone was three feet
long as long as an ordinary scythe
blade end sharpen his scythe with
it; and then he'd drop the stone in his
bootleg and go to mowing again. And
pretty soon he'd get dry and want
some cider; an 1 that's where we used
to come in again with business. We
had a jug that was as big around as
a barrel in the biggest part of it and
I hat vat pretty near as tall but a reg-
ular jug in shape and we used to get
this. over the fence to him wherever hi
was. and he'd lift that up as easy as
could be and turn it up looking like
a balloon up there turned up in that
way and take a good long drink and
then set it down and go to mowing
again.
"Well when the giant had got
through mowing there wasn't likely to
be much grass left in that lot to mow
and there never was any doubt aliout
who'd won tht'prize. Andheu.d to cut
as wi le a swath arrong the fr.rmer as
he did in the pras. There wasn't a

the same month that three of the
names here mentioned were bestowed

this and the other months of 1809 oc-

of illustrious births that can be cred-
