BUNco AND CONFIDENCE MEN.

vorite haunt of the game is in saloon,
where, cut west, the dice box is called into
requisition whenever you want drink or a
cigar. Nearly everybody is on the beat; if
they can't beat stranger they will try to
beat each other.
''Weu, the operator with his pal is in a
saloon A promising looking party comes in
and shake for drinks is proposed. This
easily leads up to guessing on the top and
bottom. The first time for drinks, then the
'capper' or pal, on the next throw, offers to
take bet OF from five to ten to one, accord
ing to the humor of the victim, that he will
call the exact total on the next throw The
sucker is wheedled into as large bet as he
will make, and allowed to throw the dice
himself if he wishes to. The sure thing man
names twenty-one; dice thrown; top and
bottom found to be twenty-one; sucker says,
WONDERFUL money gone; good dayl That
is very nice game in new mining towns,
where there are great many people from
the east, said Brown refectively.
another neat trick for jays is the two
ace trick.
SIT takes two men to work the two ace
trick. The confidence men are in saloon
and ask the prospective victim to take hand
at game Of cards. The game is started and
they play awhile socially without any stake.
After several games the operator suggests to
his companions that he can tell their ages by
the cards. He then cuts the pack, runs over
both parts and selects two aces. He shows
these aces to the two men and then throws
them, face downward, on the table. Taking
half the pack, he turns his back on his COM
panions and looks over the cards in his hand.
While he is doing this his confederate, with
wink to the victim, takes up one of
the aces and slips it into the part of the pack

remaining on the table and substitutes another
card in its stead The age teller, after some
little time spent in looking over his cards,
turns, and, in tone of disgust, says: oh,
pshaw! I'll give that up; but I can bring
those two aces here holding up the two cards
which he is supposed to believe are the two
aces) out of the pack together, no matter how
you shuttle them The cards are put together,
the pal shufiies them, taking particular pains
to leave the remaining ace on the bottom Of
the pack. The operator then takes the cards
and begins dealing them, turning them face
upwards on the table, from the bottom of
the pack. He has first slipped the ace on
the bottom Of the cards he holds In his
hand far enough back from the front of the
pack to enable him to catch the card imme-
diately underneath. he throws card after
card on the table until the ace which has
been removed by his pal, before the eyes OF
the victim, turns up Then comes the offer
to bet that the next card will be the other
ace. The victim thinks he knows that the
dealer is deceived, because, has he not seen
the card changed with his own eyesl A sure
thing; he bets on it; out comes the other ace,
which has been in ambush all this time on
the bottom of the pack waiting for this OPP
portunity. Money gonel Wicked world

The Daft Motor,

The Daft Electric company continue their
experiments with the large motor and trains
Of cars on the Ninth Avenue Elevated rail
way in this city. Some weeks ago train OF
eight cars was taken up grade of nearly
per cent. at a speed of seven miles and half
an hour. On several occasions a speed of
thirty miles an hour, with three cars, has
been reached. The regular train speed on
the Ninth Avenue road is thirteen miles an
hour, but with the electric motor no difficulty
is found in maintaining a speed of fifteen
miles an hour. A Science representative was
one of party, a few evenings ago, who were
carried over the road from Fourteenth to
Fiftieth street at speed approaching twenty
miles an hour. The motion was smooth and
easy, and there was nothing but the entire
absence of smoke, smell and cinders to indi-
cate that the train was not drawn by an or
binary locomotive. CNew York;.

The murderer escaped from the house be

was then found that he had taken from the
barn near by the ak with which he did the
deed. In his flight he had dropped few
dollars from the pocketbook which he had
taken from Mr.. Stillwell's pantaloons As
it was notorious that the murdered man kept
very little money in his house, the painful
conclusion was that some man or men were

pursue, or the slightest clew. The victim,
A. ]. Stillwell, wealthy citizen some Is years
old, was most brutally murdered In his own
bedroom, his wife and his young children
being asleep in a bed near by. Under the
circumstances it is but natural that many
queer suspicious should be aroused, but all
the collateral facts tend to prove the truth Of
the wife's story.
Mrs. Stillwen, beautiful lady about
thirty years younger than her husband, says
she was suddenly awakened by cry from
her husband, and saw q man standing by her
bed. She screamed and the intruder fed;
then hearing no movement by her husband
she fastened to his bedside and found him
gasping in death. A single blow with an ak
mad crushed the side of his head and almost
severed the neck. She screamed, aroused the
household and then sunk into swoon, from
which she only regained consciousness after
many hours, but has never regained health
or strength. She is now at the sanitarium at
Battle Creek, Mich, slowly recovering from
nervous prostration.

Anger at feast betrays the boor.
In good house all is quickly ready.
As the year is so must your pot seethe.
Everything is Of use to a housekeeper.
He that is at ease seeks dainties
Better be meals many than one too merry.
He that saveth his dinner will have the
more supper.
Never haggle about the basket if you get
the fruit.
There is winter enough for the snipe and

Squeeze not the orange too hard, lest you
have bitter juice

Many good dish is spoiled by an Ill sauce.

gone from his back, he flew to n small laker's
shop that he had passed IA few minutes before.
The smell of the warm bread turned him
faint for the moment, but he asked fer n
~pennyworth of bread, then inquired of the
woman where he could buy milk.
She looked hard Mt the white, boyish face,
Mt the halfpenny clutched like golden treas

He held out the halfpenny.
She took it and went away, returning
