But Nobody Would Take Hold.

A few days ago an old chap from north
ern Michigan paid visit to Boston for
the purpose Of organizing a company to
dig ship canal from the head Of Sag.
inaw bay to Pentwater straight across
the state of Michigan. He came over to
New York in deep disgust, and when
asked how his project got along he re-
piled:
I'm going home. You eastern folks
are no good any more. That ere canal
could be dug for s27 10000 I'd agree to
act as president Of the company for 5000
a year. We could raise $4,000 worth OF
celery along the banks every season. I've
got five sons who'd act as bosses for s., ,OOC
apiece year. We could cut $50 OG
worth of ice every winter. and we could
raise $4,000 worth of geese and ducks
every summer. But nobody II take hold.

GAMBLING AGAINST A GREENY.
A Drummer's Experience in 3 Little
Missouri Town-A Wager Lost

BOYS. il isn't always safe TO gamble on
the greenness Of country chaps, remarked
a drummer in the smoking-car. Only last
week was in little town down in Mis-
souri,, and the bar-rOOm of the hotel was
full Of the gawks Of the town. ] worked
several smart little snaps for drinks that
would not have caught a single sucker in
the city, and had begun to think myself in
luck Alter awhile heard a couple Of
fellows disputing about something and !
asked them what the row was about.
Jim here says one, declares he kin
go out and pace off aquarter Of a mile an
come in two feet Of the actual measure
ment. He's braggin', and kin never do
it, stranger I've just bet him S he San't;

called Jim, promptly pulling crs his
money, and of course / couldn't back out.
So the $50 was staked with the Landlord
and we went out TO see him pace. We
hunted around and found twenty-foot
pole, and Jim went into the middle of the
street in front of the hotel and asked me
which way he should go. told him I
didn't care, and after we had marked the
spot he started off pacing very deGber-
ately and with much caution. We fol-
lowed him up with the pole measuring
after him. Pretty soon he stopped, stood
still and waited for us, calling out that
that was his Quarter-mile limit.
In a few minutes we had measured up
TO him and what do you suppose the dis
tance was' Thirteen hundred and
twenty feet to an inch-exac;ly quarter
of & mile. had lost as clear as a whistle,
and ! thought il the most wonderful feat
| had ever witnessed. Before leaving
town, however. l discovered how the thing
was done. Jim was able TO pace that
quarter of a mile to the inch because he
had carefully measured it off with the
same pole we had used, and marked the
two ends in way known only TO himself
More than that, he had measured from a
certain spot in front Of the hotel in three
directions, and was thus prepared TO go
any way his victim might select. The fel-
low who bet the 8 with him was a roper

made sucker Of, by long shot. Chi

horse trainers are as subject to kidney dis
eases as are railroad conductors This is
caused by the constant jarring Of
the motion Of sulky riding. In the
course of days training they
sometimes ride fifty or sixty miles,
and this in time seriously affects the kid
neys and other internal organs. Nearly
every middle-aged horse-trainer suffers
from this complaint, and it carries more
of them under their final wire than any
thing else.-Chicagc News Rambler"
