A WONDERFUL TALE.
Young Man Wins S45, 900 by Gam

From the Norristown Times.

From, the Norristoyn Times.
Several years ago. when SAMSON street
was filed with gambling dens from one end
to the other, there was enacted a scene in
one Of those illegal retreats that really ex-
ceeds belief. Although the circumstances
were unique, they actually happened. The
principal actor in one of the most venture
some and successful gambling deals was a
young college student who had never played
at a gaming table in his life. Having read
and heard considerable about the wonder
ful fascination of gambling, this young
gentleman, when on his way home one
evening, decided to visit one of the deDs and
try. his luck. He had but SIS in his
pocket, and was willing to spend that
amount for his experience. Being alone
upon the evening mentioned, he selected
what he supposed was the most conspicuous
establishment in the street. He entered the
room, seated himself at one of the tables
and contented himself by simply watching
others play No one molested him, and he
soon had fair insight into the game. As
soon as he manifested desire to play, cards
were brought and his opponent allowed him
10 win the first game, doubtless for the pur-
pose Of leading him on and inducing him TO
play for larger stakes. The second game
was played with q little more spirit and he
Won again. The next bout was enlivened
oy a strenuous effort of his opponent TO
win, but that game, as its predecessors,
was destined for the hero Of the evening

each new game and the young student began

tame after game was played in rapid
succession, and the student had quickly ac-
cuinulated a small fortune. Notwithstand-
,ng tne shrewd manipulations Of his oppo-
nent the student never lost game. Other
men came along and tried their hand against
s sne young scholar, they all met the same
. .ate as the first player, and soon left the
aole completely broke in purse and spirit.
AS the hours rolled by the interest in the
young stranger became intense Games
were stopped at all tables except his and all
eyes were fixed upon the man who had van
pushed some OF the best players OF the
mouse. The stake now ran into the thous-
an1s and still the student won. Ten thous-
ana dollar bets were quickly followed by
e"enties, twenties doubled themselves up
into forties and still the student won. His

FoUR-FooTED OPIUM FIENDs.
Cats, Dogs and Monkeys That Had
Acquired the Habit.

From, the Ne,c York Nal and Erpress.
YES, / have had numerous patients
with the opium habit" said a well-known
physician, adding frankly, land l never
cured one of them. l had one" he con-
tinued, smiling, that / never tried to
cure
How was tbatF' said the reporter, feel
ing sure that story was to be had for the
asking.
at was a cat" said the physician. HE
belonged to a patient who had him for pet
for long time, and the cat used to lie on
the bed with his master while the latter
smoked. He would breathe the smoke of
eight or ten pipes that his master would
smoke before he would show the effects, and
then he would sink into a stupor for some
twenty minutes and afterward awake with
every sign of excitement, and would frisk
around like Il kitten, though he was ordin-
arily as sedate as old cats usually are. |
begged him from my patient, and kept him
locked up till he died, after showing nearly
all the symptoms of suffering which human
opium fiends undergo.
st wasn't a particularly remarkable case,
though il was interesting, for there are
many such cases on record. They are not
rare, it is said, in countries where opium is
much used. l have read of two monkeys in
Gambodia, who were kept as pets by an
opium-smoker. They seemed to enjoy the
heavy smoke greatly and became such con-
firmed fiends that if they were not allowed
TO enjoy the smoke regularly they would
scream loudly and try desperately to break
their chains. One of them would chew the
burned opium when the pipes were cleaned,
and the other seemed to prefer the smoke.
Whenever his master would lay his pipe
aside this one would seize it and try to
suck out all the smoke that was left. If
their master would leave them for a few
days without smoke they would both be-
come melancholy and grow exceedingly thin,
rejecting all food until they were again in
dulged.
Dogs and other animals have also been
known to acquire this habit, and it is said
that savage animals, such as tigers and pam
theirs, have been trained by teaching them
to enjoy opium. OF this last statement,
however, know nothing definite"
