do not learn, though we were given to
understand that it was at a loss to the

that this business should not be carried
on al a loss to the treasury, if there be
any way to prevent it. Why not put it
on a gold basis. as the American Con
sui has done. and issue money-orders
only for American gold or silver This
may curtail the amount Of business, but
it furnishes the only sure way to con-
duct it without loss to the people.

emphasize the necessity OF putting our

that this is unreasonable and inconsis

Joking aside, is it not as unfair as it
is foolish to predicate the action OF the
ministers in the matter OF the budget ?
The budget is for the considertion OF the
legislature, and may be heavy one or
a light one. The public is unlikely to
influence the conduct of the ministers
by criticism that cannot be based upon
accurate knowledge.

Cheating ut Cards.

The plan of dealing over large,
highly polished, silver cigar case is
good, but old. OF course the cigar
case shows the dealer in its Furnished
surface what cards he is giving the
players, and he knows better whether
to stand on his own hand or not. Ac-
cordlng to competent authority,
while there is no game at which one
may not be cheated, at ecarte one may
be cheated in some fifteen or twenty
different ways. One gallant gambler
played against Greek, and his friends
warned him that he was being duped.
He answered in loud voice: Mon
sieur triche! mais je gals bien que
monster triche! Seulle sment il est
convent que chaque fois que je lie
prendral, je marquerai un point!'
This was, indeed, sportsmanlike
handicap, and argued a great love for
the game in the player, and cynical
indifference to the character of an an
tagonist. The tale of the old general
in country town is also good, though
rather well known. This veteran
cheated, habitually and execrably 1t
was thought good form" to take no
notice OF his exploits, but one day
small civilian, stranger to the club,
observed: why, general, you are
cheating" Yes, sir" said the gen.
eral, who stammered dreadfully, ''yes,
sir, | know very well I'm cheating,
but | d-d-d-dont like to be TT
told ia remark to which there is
no very obvious repartee. A splendid
failure to cheat was that of the French
Greek. No one had suspected him; he
usually won some 80 louis every time
he took the bank, and on one occasion
he left the theater at Nice in the mid
die of play and went on to the club.
There he took the bank, won on an
eight and on a nine. Then he offered
to give cards. his opponent accept
ed, and the banker laid down a card
marked Theatre Francois de Nice. :"
1t was the ticket of re-admission in
case he had wanted to 60 back to the
play. Obviously this could not have
formed part Of a normal pack, and as
obviously the banker had taken it out
of his pocket by mistake. "-The Satar-
day ReUielC.

Twisting the Mules Tail.

agent, as the mule beat a tattoo against
post on the pier. Eyes, I'll make it

Stuff sneered a lazy-looking vag-
rant, little apart from the crowd.
"Who says 'stuff?' demanded the
agent, in voice like prize fighters.
MAYBE you'd like to twist that mules

Here's $40 that says you can't
"Ill 90 ye.'
The money was put into the hands
of ships supply contractor, and the
details were properly arranged. The
lazy man was to twist the mules tail
if he could get near enough-with all
his strength, and was TO escape un-
hurt The crowd was to stand at re-
spectful distance and see fair play.
The lazy man swung his coat over his
arm, borrowed chew of navy plug,
and walked down the pier. The crowd
followed slowly. The mule showed
a strong desire to eat not only the APP
preaching men, but the pier itself. But
his viciousness was restrained by n
strong rope halter. The lazy man
tossed his coat upon barrel and
grasped the mules tail with both
hands. The crowd held its breath.
The twister wound the tail into hard
knot and pulled the mule from side to
side, as far as the halter would permit.
The mule made no effort to resent the
indignity. The lazy man again threw
his coat over his arm, and, taking the
money from the contractor, sauntered
up Montague street. The crowd was

one of the men of stevedore who
leaned over barrel.
Yes, saw it."

his precious little bundle lay quiet on
