A curious form Of wager was once
hit upon by oldQ---a familiar sobriquet
by which the Duke of Queonabury was
commonly known 10 the sporting world.
The Duke was famous for occentricities
in the betting way. The match he
made 70 drive carriage nineteen miles
In one hour without changing either Of
the thoroughbred horses with which he
started, made a sensation at tho time,
and the actual achievement Of this feat
was perhaps ~ remarkable as anything
Of the kind IN the annals Of coaching.
But the wager to which reference was
made was Of more original character
than this, and IN time when railroads
were not thought Of was certainly MI
indication Of no little inventive talent.
He made bet that he would have y
letter conveyed fifty miles within an
hour In order to do this, he caused
the manuscript to be inclOsed in a crick.
ct ball, stationed expert cricketes at
intervals over certain distance, and
the niissive, being thrown from one to
the other, was delivered at the end Of
the journey within the stipulated time.
A very good story is told Of this noble

once told him 70 take the money, and
that be would bear him harmless. The
money was taken, and books werc made
accordingly, hut to the horror Of tho
entorpriSing biacklegs, tho Duke him

judge pitman has 3 habit Of slipping
his wulI under his pillow when he
goes to bed The other night somehow
it slipped down, and as the Judge was
restless it gradually worked its way
downward toward the foot Of the bed.
After bit, while he was lying awake,
his foot touched il, and it felt very cold;
he was surprised and scared and, jump
ing from bed, he said
By gracious, Maria there's toad
Or snake or something under the covers
l touched it with my foot"
Mrs, Pitman gave u loud scream, and
was out on the floor in an instant.
"Now, don't go TO hollering and walk
ing up the neighbors," said the Judge,
+" You go and get me broom or some
thing, and wen fix the thing mighty
quick"
Mrs Pitman got the broom and gave
it to the Judge, with the remark that
she felt as If snakes were creeping all
up and down her legs and back.
80, nonsense, Maria Now you turn
down the covers slowly, while / hold
the broom and bang it. Put a bucket
of water alongside the bed, too, SOS we
can shove it in and drown it."
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom uplifted, and as soon as
the black ribbon Of the watch was re-
vealed he cracked away three or four
times with his broom. Then he pushed
the thing off into the bucket. Then
they took the bucket to the light to in
yestigate the matter. When the Judge
saw what it was, he said.
1 might've known that. Just like
you women, to so screeching and fuss
ing about nothing. Who's going to
