Renaissance OF a Gambler.

John Watts, who died in Philadelphia
short time ago, was in his day one of
the most noted gamblers who made their
trade notorious on the Mississippi river.
Alt ough he professed to be "a man of
honor" he was by no means of the very
best morals, and he did not object to
take advantage of his fellow men. For
instance: With lis friend and accom-
plice he would board boat at Louisville,
and, scanning the passenger-llst, pick out
for his victims some old card-players of
wealth with whom he was personally &C.
quain:ed. TO these people he would go
very quietly and say of his accomplice,
''There is man who plays high, and we
can beat him; you join with me and We'll
do it, The victim agreed and the party
as made up, but Watts always succeed
e I in regulating success the wrong way
for his victim, and thus would-be
bitter was often bitten.
Once he was accused of swindling in
that way, the charge being made in the
heat of play by a man from whom Watts
accomplice had just Won $4,000. els
that your oplnion?" he quietly asked
eyes, sir; that's what / Think" roareo
the loser; "you swindled me, and 1 stlg
Matte YOU as IA scoundrel." The hour
was late, and only tie watchman and the
party engaged in playing heard the
charge; but all OF them drew back ano
held their breath, for they were sure
Jack" would take life to wipe out thu
insult. 1t is said that he had done thai
G. II ~ill give you $4,000 right here
if you will not make that opinion any
further public said Watts, drawing
forth his pocketbook. 'No, sir; do no
want the money; you cannot buy M!
silence with money" Then Watt'
smiled in his wicked Nay, held pisto
in one hand and the money in the other
and said, quietly, as before: my friend
for the suppression Of your opinion
Offered you $4,000. You refused. Nov
offer you at amount of money ant
your life. Do you accept?" The maj
looked into Jacks cold, steel gray eye
and what he read there was convincing
He took the money and his life and KEEP
silent.

Christina, Queen of Sweden.

Tinsley's Magazine.
The snow fell heavily ON the dull De-
cember morning when Christina first saw
the light in the quaint old palace at
Stockholm. It was the Sth day of the
month, 1926. Loud were the lamenta-
lions of the Queen and attendants at the
appearance OF the newborn babe, unfiat-
teringly described by the chroniclers as
dark, ugly girl, who cried with shrili,
rough voice" None ventured for a
time to explain matters to the King. At
length his sister, the Princess Catherine,
took the infant in her arms, and an
nounced to him that he had daughter
Gustavus, too noble to show the natural
chagrin that he felt, kissed the child, and
said: "Let us thank God, sister; l hope
this girl will be as good as boy
Catherine reminded him that he was
still young; but he hastily replied: 81
am content, and pray God preserve my
daughter" adding, smiling, ''she will be
an arch girl; she puts tricks ON US So car
ly." The King, soon reconcilcd to her
sex, loved her with passionate fondness.
When quiet babe she accomps MED him

W lch are to the young life as sunshine

Christina; her mother, Eleanor gentle,
delicate woman, having neither strength
DOR the inclination for camp life. On
one occasion, when Gustavus and a suite
entered the forress of Calma, the Govern
or refrained from saluting the King with
the usual discharge of artillery, afraid lest
the roar of tie cannon might terrify the
Princess into commissions, as she was then
only two years old. Her father, hearing
of this, hesitated a moment, and then said
"Fire; she Is soldiers daughter and
must learn to b ar it" The child, far
from being frightened, clapped her baby
hands together with innocent glee. an ex-
ample which enraptured the warrior King
and awoke burst of applause from his
brave followers. 1t was at this moment
he conceived the idea of educating her as
a son, a strange mistake of judgement in
man possessing the genius of Gustavus
Adolphus, who until, the adventures OF

greatest General of modern times.

A breath of the summer air,
That kissed your pure white forehead,
And played with your sunny hair.

You were filled with perfume of June
What wonder you fan v the sweetness
An echo of heavenly tune?
What wonder your snowy forehead
O'er the roses red bows low,
And you murmur dear name softly,
Well loved in the long ago.
All Love! Love is forever.
My spirit is one with thine,
And our love is our life, lay darling,
A part of the life divine.

Breathe soft between us two,

And heaven is heaven anews
