AFortune on a Single Card

Frem the New Mexican Review.
The largest bet that has ever been
made dy a Leadville man upon the sin
gle turn of a card was made by Colonel
Pine in California some years ago. The
Colonel was at one time considered
weatlhiest man in Mexico. His partner
had been to California to dispose of a
large ranch Of sheep. They got their
money and were about starting for home
when the Colonel thought he would play
a little monte. He played in bad luck
and lost considerable money, which
naturally made him little excited. At
ties awhile he said to the dealer:
GLOW much money have you in the
bank?"
1t was flush days then and the bank
roll was no insignificant sum. After
counting it the dealer said: About $48,-
OO0."
"Tn bet you $4,000 that the queen
wins against the ace" said the Colonel
His blood was up and he meant what
he said. The dealer looked at him in
quiringly to see if he really meant it,
and finally exclaimed, cody:
I'm go you ont if lose.'
The dealer was Miner Smooth, now in
Denver, and a cooler man never lived
He shuffled and gave the cards to Pine
to cut, after which he slowly began to
draw the cards Not word was spoken
and the silence was terribly oppressive.
1t was long time before either card
showed, but at last lone club showed
up and the banker drew sigh of relief
Pine gave him check for $48, 900 and
left the room. He came back to Mexico
the next day"
lis Colonel Pine living now?" was
asked.
"Oh, yes. He lives close by here, out
on his ranch.'
George Jones, the owner of the New
York Times, is talked about good deal
now, and it is said of him frequently
that he is an Englishman by birth. Mr.
Jones was born in Vermont and bred a
Yankee. How he got to be a rich pub
Usher is well known. As publisher he
drew salary of SEQ, 900 a year, and his
son Gilbert has 5000 year as super
intendent of the mechanical department,
Dyer, his son-in-law is cashier, with the
same salary. Jones is suffering from
age and i'll health and finds great relief in

Yosemite Falls The Story of Their Dis.
cOvery.

A correspondent writing from Ando-
yer, Mass, to the Boston Posi-, tells the
following story of the discovery Of the
Yosemite Falls:
1t is not recorded in any work that I
am aware of, who the parties We're that
discovered the Yosemite. The recent
Biographies, cyclopndias, and books OF
historical record, which give brief no.
tice of that wonder of creation are
silent as to the men who first penetrated
the valley and gazed with astonishcd
eyes upon the world-renowned wonder
of nature, and merely mention the fact
that the discovery was made by a party
Gin pursuit Of a band of Indians who
had made themselves troublesome to
the whites, and who were understood to
have a stronghold in the mountains
where they imagined they were safe
from any attack, and in which they
sought refuge when obliged to retreat
from the neighborhood OF the settle
ment." The main fact is as stated.
The discovery was made by a small
party who were in pursuit of the In
dams. Happen to know the principal
actors in that affair, and, being a lover
of historical accuracy, even in small
matters, beg leave to recall a few Incl

A Microscopic Terrier.

Tempted by the report that the small
est game dog in the world would be
shown at the meeting of the Dog Club
on Friday night last, the room was filled
before eight o'clock by the admirers Of
mans faithful friend. President Brown.
was the last to arrive, and he excused
himself by SAYING that he had been de-
tanned to poultice the end of his dogs
tail, which was caught in a door and
violently amputated. The club voted
thanks to Mr.. Brown and then asked
him if he had brought the smallest dog,
which he had advertised to do. There
was no sign Of a dog around and the
club looked disappointed.
The old man allowed the club to
grumble a little and her pulled out of
his vest pocket a Scotch terrier weigh
ing about three pounds when in good
condition. The little dog jumped to
the floor and tried to roll a cigar butt
that Pete had thrown down. Then he
hid in the shadow of a chair rung, and
all thought that he must have fallen
through a crack in the floor.
But that dog was very wide awake.
He saw a rat hole Where the bar and
floor me and he was awaiting develop
ments. The club kept still. Soon a
rat stuck his nose out of the hole to see
what made the Dog Club so quiet.
That look was his last. Something
grabbed hi1n-what it was or where it
snatched him he never knew-then all
became dark, and seven young rats lost
a devoted father.
"Wel DONE" cried President Brown,
carried away by the excitement.
"Yes,' said Pete, in a tone of faint
praise, 'but he's not so quick as l ex-
pected. My terrier could have dis
patched that rat in half that time"
''Your terrier don't know a rat when
he sees one," exclaimed Reddy.
"I'll bet you he knows even the
names of everything he SEES" said Pete,
excitedly.
Pete was evidently wild at the insinu-
alton cast upon his dog, and six MEN,
bers of the club meanly took advantage
OF his state to take his bet.
When quiet was restored Pete turned
to old man Brown, who was an amused
listener, and said:
Drown, you can decide this bet, as
you know my dog"
eyes" said the president, slowly,
"you've lest your money, boys; Pete's
terrier is stone blind"
While the victims were paying over
their money President Brown gave the
history of the little dog. He is the
property of Dog Fancier Foster, who
bought him for 800 from q Highland
laddie, and he beat all records in Scot
land before he left his native heath to
become a resident of South Fifth avenue,

She Knew She Was Right.

The other day q Bismarck gentleman
was coming up from Standing Rock and
stopped to see a man who lives near the

BenareS.

Benares is not only the hottest but the
iborn Benares was great. "When
Babylon was struggling with Nine
Yeh- for supremacy" says Mr.. Sher-
pingg, when Tyre was planting her
colonies, when Athens was growing
in strength, before Rome had be-
come known, or Greece had CON
tended with Persia, or Nebuchad-

the inhabitants of Judea had been
carried into captivity Benarcs had
risen to greatness, if not to glory.

British domination steam launches on
the river, and railway trains crossing
the Gauges by iron bridges, Benares
preserves its old-time aspect, and is,
with the exception of an English
church, a mission-house, q college, a
police station, and the environments
OF British soldiery, much as it was
when Akbar reigned. One railway
does not presume to enter the town,
but has its terminus on the further side
of the Gangcs. The others, the Dude
and Rohilcund enters from the town
side, but stops on the outskirts. and
the bazars and temples have it all their
OWL way in the town. The river is
crossed by a wretched bridge Of
boats, whose poverty of accommoda-
ton is made up for by excessive toll.
The upper portion of the town, near
the English settlement, is literally
laid out in squares, green lawns
after the rains, but Just now so bare
and brown that it is difficult to believe
BLADES Of grass could ever burst through
its b~arrenness. Still, the trees are
green. and are pcoplcd with a lively
race of squirrels, who dodge passers-by,

that makes nothing of their bushy

even if some II else would kill them.
