"Passengers who lose their tickets,

The ether Game.

The Westera boatn1cn are more OF
less addicted to the vice of gaming,
from captain to cook. One night. the
cooks and cabin-bovs were in the gal
ley Of the Bunk,er Hill, having little
game Of poker.
Each player had his money on the
table before him. The amount thus
piled around was something over hun
dred dollars.
II am broke, boys, and must QUIT
said one Of the party.
"lll lend you some to go on with, .
says cne.
"No. I am going to stop off playing
poker. have been working for you
fellows long enough"
cts all on the square, Charley. If
you have any other game that will beat
this, we are in,o put in another.
'All right, bullies," said Charley, as
he left.
It was creeping toward the witching
hour; the lamp was burning dim; still
the players played On.
About q year before this time, a cook
on the boat had been killed by another
one, with a butcher-knife, and the re-
port was current that she was haunted.
The players would glance around oc-
casionally, but were too deeply inter-
ested in tire game to leave.
In the bulk-head, behind the stove,
q hole, some two feet square, had been
cut to let the air pass through. Had
the players looked up to this hole, they
might have seen frightful looking OBJ
ject making it's way slowly through,
with whitened face, and 3 great red
cash across the neck.
"pll bet ten dollars" says one.
''pll go five BETTER" says another.
"By the ghost OF Darby" says one,
"I'll make some Of you fellows pay for
seeing my hand' Twenty-Five bet
ter.''
But, just as he said "ghost Of Oar
BY" deep groan was heard in the
rear. There on the topsof the stove,
stood the ghost of Darby.
AS Sut Lovingood says, "a big sheen
come On them all at once" and they
fed ingloriously from the scene, leay-
ing their money behind them.
But no sooner had they disappe eared,
than the ghost jumped down and rak-
ed the money from the board, saying.
$50 you are in on the other game,
boys, but you don't happen to VIM
Charley wore ''good clothes" after
wards.
The boys thought that the other
game had been played on them, but
said nothing.

FUNNY FOR CORwIN.
Here is another good thing about Tom

Here is another good thing about Tom
Corwin from the Mac-a- cheek Press:
While this eloquent orator of the people
was speaking at Springfield. Ohio, to dense
thousands, a black mddle-szed bull terrier
with a round face not unlike Corwin's,
climbed upon the stand and taking his
place by the orator, calmly looked out
over "the sea Of upturned faces" lie did
this in such a knowing manner that the
audience began to laugh. Corwin noticing
it at last, waved the dog back with his hand.

Bull stepped back few pnces and turned
his head on one side with = quizzical ex.

Corwin returned the look ~ near like Bulls
as hi. wonderfully expressive countenance
could come, and then said confidently to
the crowd, 81 do believe he thinks Of leav-
ing the other dogs and joining the Republic

in the midst Of which Bull cooked up his
tail and deliberately trotted out Of the hall
every part of him saying, plainly, as dog
could speak, that be "wouldn't stand any
more Of such id nonsense"
