great deal of interest the representation of the
tacular play at Niblo's Garden, also undertook to

THE TERRIBLE STORIES OF DEBAUCHERY
and sinful practices which have travelled Westward
They turned from Broadway into Blocker street in
search of q resort kept by ''The Allen" Nearing
the spot they saw a venerable looking gentleman in
animated conversation with two female denizens of
that quarter. closer inspection revealed the IA
miliar figure of Brother Harris It needed only q
cursory glance to satisfy them that their esteemed
contemporary was in the hands Of sirens, and that
he was unable to break The spell which they had
thrown around him. They oollared him, not with
out loud protestations being made, however, by the
two women, and took him back to the Grand Central
hotel for safekeeping. Saturday Harris started out
again on his own hook. While sauntering along
Broadway his musings were interrupted abrupt

FAMILIAR SLAP ON THE SHOULDER
and the roaring solution, "Why my dear Mr.. Brown
I'm glad to see you. When did you arrive in tow?
Who're are you stopping, and how Is Uncle Tod and
all the boys9" OF course the editor EXPLAINED that
his name wasn't Brown. He told the stranger what
his name and place of residence was. Hardly block
away Mr. Harris was accosted by another stranger
who knew his name and all about him, and some
OF his neighbours az we'll. It was the old "bunko-
streers" game, made familiar by many recent re-
p1tiuoDs. The man wormed himself into the edi-
tors confidence, and the result of it was that they
went OF together to look at picture which the

JUST DRAWN IN AN ART LOTTERY,
The stranger was Informed by ths managers of the
lottery that his picture had been sent to his home by
express. There was balance of $12l due the
stranger, so the manager said, and he handed the
money to him. About this time little game on
table covered with green cloth was Introduced into
the room and the dev0tee of art lotteries was invited
to take hand. He won right along. RIr Harris
was bewitched by the game and he fingered his own
money nervOusly. He had $125 and some pennies
In his clothes. He succumed to the artful entreat-

BEGAN TO JUG0LE THE DIuE
He worked them like q magician, and before he
knew where he was $500 was piled up to his account
There was one thing about the game he didn't quite
understand, but as he winning it didnt trouble
him much. He was required to give certain per-
centsge of his winnings to the keeper of the game
All his money but about 81 was-in this percentage
pile. The sum of $50 was pisd up to his credit.
The Ravenna Democrat could exist for one year at
least without the aid of cOrdwood and cabbages.
just how 1t came about that Mr. Harris was induced
to stake that 81 900 single throw, he does not
distinctly remember. At all events he WAS induced
and he lost.
MONEY WAS PooKETED By THE KEEPER.
The percentage pile had been growing all the while
and according to the statistics. now presented he
