Giving Away Dice Boxes-why the Cards
Were Sacrificed"
A dapper locking young man dropped
IN at q Dearborn street resort one day
not long ago and inquired for the pro-
prietor. When informed by the white
aproned young man who caters to the
thirst of the customers. in the absence Of
the proprietor that the latter was not in,
the dapper young man unwrapped
a package which he carried and pro-
duced a new dice box containing the
regulation five dice. He stated that he
represented q certain patent medicine;
the proprietors of which thought of Civ
ing out these dice boxes as an advertise
ment, and, if he succeeded in placing
enough Of them to make it an object, he
would come around later and stencil an
advertisement on the boxes. He begged
permission to leave that one for the pro-
prietor, with his compliments, and, as
the dice boxes in use were somewhat
shabby, the white aproned man gladly
accepted the new one and thanked the
dapper youth. When the proprietor
turned up a little later he was pleased
with the gift and threw away the old
boxes.
On the following afternoon a party of
well dressed mon entered the place,
called for the dice box, and proceeded to
shake forsthe drinks. After two or three
rounds the men began to shake for "a
quarter a corner" and then 81. The pro-
prietor, who was behind the bar, noticed
that the big MAI who proposed the shak-
ing for money vas the heaviest winner,
and, in the course of the afternoon. one
of the proprietor's friends, who had gone
into the game, lost 800, the bulk of which
went to the big man. There was some
thing peculiar in the way in which he
handled the box, and, after he left, the
proprietor examined it carefully.
While he was thus engaged an old
friend of his, who had for years travelled
with q circus, came in. He knows all of
the tricks with dice, and, when asked if
thsge was anything wrong with this par.
t%ic.lar outfit, he picked it up, looked at
it, and then said; Eyes, its what is

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Grand Army
men in this city seem to recognize the
Importance of tho movement begun in
Indianapolis Tuesday, and admit that a
split in the organizati on is inevitable.
Joseph A. Joel, editor of the Grand
Army Gazette, says the movement will
be national in extent. He says the
Democratic members have always been
treated more or less as interlopers in
the G. A. r.. The order has always had
politics in it, and the Republicans have
always run it. The Democrats have
been ostracised and treated as traitors,
even when they had been manned in
battling for the Union. Other q. A. r..
men endorse these statements and say
the Democrats now propose to form a
non political and charitable organiza-
ton, such as the G.. A. r. was originally
intended to be. The new order will be
called by some sort of name as. 1.-THE
Union Veteran Association and all

He's Built That Way.

'f"' 70 ~ 'ffB''f'
Youngster nabs the reckless fly
That flutters round estray;
Pulls off its wings and other things,
Because he's built that way.
At school he dips it in the ink
And thinks it jolly play
To see it crawl DER books and all,
Because he's built that way.
Or else he puts it on the dress
OF maidens trim and gay,
To leave its tracks upon their backs
Because he's built that way.
He spits it on the cruel pin
And leaves it there all day
And laughs to see its misery,
Because he's built that way.
He plucks their wings to make them kick
In agony's display;
Picks out an eye don't wonder why,
Because he's built that way.
The only plan TO make him see
The fly don't think it play,
Is take a strap and show this chap
just why he's built that way.
It's lard to tell when he begins
His promptings 10 obey,
Just why a lad, with, all his bad,
Was ever built that way.

The Deacon Preserved Order.

The corner grocery convention got to
talking of old times the other day, says
the Pescataguis Observer, and one of
the delegates reported how old Deacon
Blank kept order in meeting. The old
gentleman seemed to have understood
what uncertain property a good whip is
if left in the carriage, SO he brought his
into the. church with him and deposited
it under the seat. The preacher, de-
scribed as a tall, gaunt man, with arms
like a windmill and a voice like a
cross-cut saw, soon waXed eloquent
and noisy. This was too much
for two dogs which had followed their
master inside, and had been ''sarsing''
each other in whispers for some
time, and, becoming excited at the loud
talk of the man in the desk, they made
IL break mt each other, and soon morti-
fed the devoted listeners by becoming
engaged in a regular set-to. The ex-
horter howled and the dogs yeiped.
Silently reaching under the seat, Dea-
con Blank pulled out the big whip,
Unwinding the long lash, he swung it
around his head two or three times,
with the grace OF a California stage
driver, and brought it down Upon the
hides of those sacrilegious dogs. There
was yell which drowned for a moment
the voice of the preacher, and those two
dogs wentfthrough the door and down
