Superstitlous Gamblers.
From the Detroit Free Press.

"Ah-b!" exclaimed a dabbler in
policy, as he pointed At a sporting
PAPER lying upon the reporters desk:
there's a combination that 1 will
play tomorrow, and I ought to win +"
The reporter looked and bebeld
cuts of three sizes of metallic cart
ridges for revolvers, the caliber,
49," 1885," as" being stamped
upon each.
What in the world will you play
those Numbers for?"
For luck. It is accounted good
luck to come upon three number in
out of the way and unexpected
places. In fact, old policy players
are always on the outlook for com
binations Of three numbers below
100. Go into the policy shops TODAY
and you will hear them calling for
'4-23-S3.' that being the date of to-day
fourth month, twenty-third day of
1888. Ifa fire bell should strike a
box, the number of which embraces
three figures, they will bring these
figures at the first opportunity. They
will open a book three times at ran
dom, and bring the combination
formed by the number of the pages,
or take three throws of dice: any,
thing that seems to have an element
of chance in it,"
docs this superstition cling to
policy players alone, or does it con-
troll the play of others?"
NEARLY every gambler has his
whims, no matter what game he
plays. One man will quit a faro
table it he wins the first bet he
makes; another will not play the last
turn OF the cards if there is a queen
among them ; another will not play
until after IL o'clock 1T night. It
would be difficult to find a man who
hasn't got some hobby or other"
Are dealers affected in this way
as well as the players?"
Just the same. There is one here
in the city now who will not allow
any player to bet above $25 on q
single card in his band, where, of
course, the dealer has the best chance
of winning, but I have known him
to stake So. 900 on a single turn of the
cards when he was himself q PLAYER
and the percentage was against him.

A wooden Leg.

An English naval officer, serving
on heard the Jason frigate, under the
Duke of Clarence, had the misfor-
tune to lose a leg in = hot engage
ment with the Frenab. aid for his
bravery he was devoted to the COM
maDd of q fine ship. Within six
months of the day on which he had
donned q wooden leg and returned
to duty he was in q battle and was
again stricken by q cannon ball in
that same leg. whereupon two stout
seamen picked him up, and called
aloud for the surgeon.
mo, no, boys" the captain said,
gleefully. '1'he carpenter will an
swer this time"
And this reminds US 0fanother an
ecdote, which is too good to be for
gotten.
During q time when an English
naval squadron was engaged in the
Mediterranean, a wag of a surgeon
wrote q circumstantial and critical
account of an operation which he
had successfully performed upon the
badly fractured leg of an English sea-
man. He described the fracture
compound and complicated, with
much shattering. When the case
was brought under his notice, he was
utterly opposed to amputation, and
conceived the idea of treating it with
fresh tarred oakum. He applied it
literally, but carefully, making it
into q corded mass, and completely
swathing the fractured limb there
with. No other application was re-
sorted to, and the patient was
not restricted as to diet. He
was allowed to drink his regular
allowance of grog, and was
quartered with his mess. The first
application of the ''laid up" oakum
vas made on Sunday afternoon, and
before another Sunday had come the |
man was able to walk on that leg; |
and within another week, with one
fresh application, the man was re-
ported fer duty.
What an excitement the ae- |
count created at home! It was pub
lished first in the Gazette, and copied
thence into every paper in the king
dom. And in time the letters began
to pour in upon the surgeon, down in
the Mediterranean. One old surgeon
asked one thing; and another, an
other thing; all of them desiring
further explanations about the won
derful case of that fractured leg.
The naval surgeon waited until the
letters overwhelmed him, and then
be wrote another article for the
Gazette, this time very short, in
which he said: 1--WE beg ten thou
sand pardons for our neglect on T.
occasion. Concerning the
fractured leg which we treated with
(that form of oakum valgarly
denomirated spanyarn), we forgot to
that it was a wooden leg.
And then the surgeons at home
were all happy-very, very happy!
