A Terrible Tale

Many of your readers have met
Glib. M. Morgan, he of the free and
untrammeled Imagination. Glib,
like Peter Pinder, was "a great story
teller" and not only great story tel.
ler, but teller of great stories. Ac.
cording to his narration he has seen
much of the world, and speaks as
familiarly of foreign countries as we
speak of points along our beautiful
little stream, the Tionesta. l was
introduced to him at Balltowu, last
summer, and having heard of bis de.
scriptive qualities, l told him l had
heard chat he had travelled a great
deal. Glib, in a matter Of fact man
ner, and with the air of man who
could tell lie, but wouldn't, he told
me of some incidents of travel that
had come under his observation. One
of his "fnest specimens" was that
once, when in Kentucky, he discover.
ed very tall man. "Tallest man 1
ever saw; hundred and sixteen feet
eleven inches in his boots, of course
his boots would make some difference.

the shipping directions, for l knew
there was some risk about it for him.

to await the arrival Of the lingering
length of humanity. Well, l didn't
have to linger long, and neither did
he, poor fellow. You see, l told the
pipe line man to be sure to put him in
head first, but the darned fool put him
in feet first, and as there was "Y" in

half went to petrolia. Killed him {?
should interject the remark that it
did. We buried him in six joints of

al and will vouch for the story in
every particular"
Many are the stories told of the
New Jersey mosquito; that hunters
have come 10 after days shooting
in the swamps With their game bags
filled with mosquitoes, having shot
them in mistake for snipe. Glib. said
that in Australia he saw some large
mosquitoes. Saw one swoop down
onto herd of wild horses lit on the
back of one of 'em. carried it up into
the air and shook its shoes off," With
this the meeting broke up, and nobody

Those who know Mrs. Martin best say
that she Is even Drawer than she will
admit. It is related that on one occasion
she was accosted by two men on foot
who begged a ride. They were rough
looking and the night was dark, but she
at once refined up and said:
Jump in, jump in"
She left the men at the grocery store
in which was the postof1ce, and after
she had driven away one of the men
asked:
"WhO is that, anyway"
4" That is Mrs. Martin" was the reply.
''You can't make me believe thai" was
the rejOinder. He's dressed like a Wo-
man, but know it's man. No woman
would take us in like that"
Upon another occasion Mrs. Martin
had lady passenger in her mail wagon
The night was dark, the way lonely and
the lady timid. At last she ventured

Others say that at one time, several
years ago, son of former mayor Of
Boston was passenger with Mrs. Mar
tin. He was in haste, and at length
broke into imprecations on the horse
who, though faithful, was by no means 3
rival of Maud S.

He stopped swearing, but on a subse

for him, and did not subject him to tn,

A Washington dispatch says that the
natives are beginning to feel the effects
of the stoppage of the printing of the 81
and 81 notes, and the banks experience
much difficulty in meeting the demand
for them, and they are paying out the
standard dollars in limited quantities. 1t
is matter of common report among the
banks and the disbursing officers of the
Senate and House that the people who
object most to the silver money are the
members and Senators who have been
pronounced in advocating unlimited sill
yer coinage. They do not want to take
the standard dollars because of their in
convenience, but at the same time want
the country flooded with them to the ex-
clusion of the paper notes. It is also no
ticable that the amount of silver certifi-
Gates in circulation here is largely on
the increase, and constitutes very large
percentage of the paper notes in circula-
ton, Notwithstanding they are not legal
tender.

A Famous Gambling House.

Ben Perley POore.
Pendleton's gambling-house was one
of the sights of Washington before the
war. The entrance was through a mar
row, hghted hallway, opening from the
avenue near the National hotel. A pair
Of stairs at the further end of the hall
we're closed half way up by door fast
ened on the inside. A lattice was opened
on the ringing of a bell, and a cOlored
man scrutinized the newcomers to see if
all was right. If there was no apparent
objection the door was opened, and the
visitors proceeded upstairs, where there
was large front parlor, elegantly furn-
ished, with comfortable, on which were
the leading newspapers and magazines
of the country. Around it one generally
found several gentlemen, some of them
members Of Congress, reading and dis
cussing the news of the day. The back
parlor was more luxuriously furnished,
and at one end, in a massive gilt frame,
was ife-like picture of a huge, crouch
| ing tiger, with fiery eyes and open mouth,
apparently ready for a spring upon his
unsuspecting victim. Beneath this pic
| ture was table, on which was the lay
out of faro bank. In box were piles
of bank bills and gold pieces of different
! denominations, and in another box were
the "chips," circular pieces of ivory, in.
scribed 49," 1885," 1926" and $780,
which were purchased by players as q
matter of convenience, and redeemed by
the banker at the end of each game

piled. Mr.. Pendleton belonged to al
