A Negro Turning White.
ATLANTA Special

Green Howell is negro who owns planta-
ton and is well-to-do in life. BE lives in the
lower part of Burke county, near the house Of
Capt A. L. Archer. He is highly respected
by all who know him, both white and colored
Green is fifty-two years old, and once he was
black as a coal, but now he is getting white all
over Shortly after the close of the war two
small white spots, about the size of a nickel,
appeared on his wrist, apout two inches apart,
and they remained for a short time and disap-
peared and nothing more was thought of il till
1884, when they returned in the same place,
and have been spreading since that time, and
now he is spotted all over, and in few years
he will be white all over. He does not suffer
any pain from the spots and he says the only
inconvenience he experiences is from the sun,
which causes them to blister.

Georgin Tried 1t.
TSt I,ouis RpDublic.1

Judge Underwood of Belleville. ILL.,, was a
gallant soldier in the Confederate army. He
was on the entertainment committee at the
recent soldiers reunion in that city. and dis
charged his duty so well that everybody took
him for an old q. A. R. veteran. On the second
day he was approached by a soldier, who
asked:
what regiment was you in"
"The Thirty-seventh Georgia" replied the
judge.
Georgia. Georgia" unused the veteran ;
'didn't that state go out of the Union?"
'No, sir" was the prompt reply.
The veteran looked puzzled for a moment
and then moved off to headquarters. He soon
returned with a triumphant expression of
countenance, saying:
why, colonel, you're mistaken; Georgia did
go out of the Union"
''No she didn't" replied the judge, "but she
tried - hard TO do it."

They Encounter 1t Everywhere.


A salesman in Hart Brothers place tells this
story on middle aged Hebrew friend, who
visited Chicago last week to buy goods. He ran
across one of the omnipresent Slot machines,
which bore this legend: drop dime in the
slot and get box of chocolate" The Hebrew
thought at first that he might be able to beat
the machine, so he put nickel in the slot. OF
course it did not work. Then he dropped in
another nickel, supposing of course, that as two
nickels make dime he would get the chocolate
Again the machine refused to work. The
Hebrew gazed at it a moment and then turned
away in disgust. "No madden we're you CO."
he said "dere is always prejudice"

HE DID NOT ASK.
An Indiana Circuit Riders Experience
With Live Hoosier.


With a Live Hoosier.
Arkansas Traveller
A methodist circuit rider travelling
through central Indiana on horseback
came one day to a swollen stream. While
hesitating whether or not to venture into
the raging waters he spied a native seated
on log on the opposite bank. Thinking
to get some information he hailed him,
and the following dialogue ensued:
Hello, over therer
Hello, yourself, was the answer.

Sometimes it is, and sometimes it

"How is it today"
Putty well, 1 guess. I haven't heard

do you think my horse could carry me
over?"
81 low could tell better after I've seed
him try it"
MY friend" said the traveller, a little
out of patience at this sort of badgering
you certainly ought to be able to tell me
what l want to know. Do you live along
this stream"
''No, don't, you goggle-eyed old tramp,
you. Think I'm a shitepoke an live in

the Hoosier eyes, live bout mile on
yam side o the crick, pointing to the
side on which his interlocutor stood.
"Well, if | undertake to cross over will
you lend me hand if I get into trouble ?"
Don't see but what would"
"All right, then I'll try it.
The minister urged his horse into the
water, and minute later had reached the
opposite side safe and sound, but dripping
wet. AS his horse scrambled up the bank
he said to the Hoosier:
81 should think you'd have bridge
over this stream here"
"Well, l dunno" replied the fellow,
coolly, "seein' as there's one only bout
half a mile up stream from here an a
nuther'n less'n quarter jess below us, it
would be stickin' 'em in ruther thick, I'm
thinkin'; sides we hain't got our new Jail
and courthouse paid for yit.

eler, "do you mean to say that by riding a
quarter of mile down the stream | could

crossed it myself bout an hour ago"
"Why didn't you tell me that before l
swan my horse over?" asked the now
thoroughly disguised minister.
"Well," answered the native. "you
seemed so burned anxious to find out
whether you could ford the crick or not
that didn't s'pose you'd go to the bridge
if 1 did tell you sides you didn't ask me
nohow. Yer jess like lots O. fellers I've
met afore, that kin ask more fool questions
in er minute than a jestus of the peace
could answer in a week. If I wuz you,
stranger" he continued, I'd kinder be
movin'; it's two miles to the next house,
but they'll probably take you in an give
you some dry clothes an a good supper.
As for me, I've got some mink traps sot up
the crick here an I'll have to be shown
erlong. Mex time you come this way
you'd better take the bridge"

Broad nails indicate gentle. timid and BASH

Lovers of knowledge and liberal sentiment
have round nails.
People with narrow nails are ambitious and

Nails growing into the flesh at the points or

He had his baggage piled up so as to occupy
the whole seat in the car, while two or three
men who lacked moral courage were sitting on
the arms of seats already full. By and by he
turned to one of the men on the seat behind and
queried:
"Are you not farmer?"
"Yes, sir, | am, was the reply.
well farmers generally hit the weather
pretty straight. Do you say it's going to be a
cold winterY
Il, do sir, but expect all the hogs will pull

The other tried TO say something further and
to preserve the placid look on his countenance
but the result was fat failure, and he whirled
around and resumed his reading.

His Claim Badly Spoiled.

What could make man feel shabbier than
to have his lost trunk come to light just after
he had convinced the railroad officials that it
was filled TO the brim with valuable goods when
he committed it to their care? This was the
experience of somebody in Maine the other
day. He had presented bill of $77 for a lost
box, when a railroad employee found it in the
Bangor depot and the box contained peck of
peanuts, monkey wrench and jack for lift
ing wagons only these and nothing more.

1t will readily be seen that the solution
Of the apparent mystery is contained in
the fact that the players winnings are
bound TO be IN each individual bet larger
than his losses, for upon each wager he
adds each loss to its predecessor.
The natural inquiry would suggest itself
why, if all this is true, anyone cannot walk
into gllded bank OF sin and clean out its
Golfers. As a matter OF fact, he could if
the gambling-house proprietors would per-
NIT him. But they won't, and therein lies
the fallacy OF anyone trying to conquer the
great American tiger. A very well-known
gentleman TO whom Leonard Jerome ex-
planned the above system, but who him
self never CANDLES, paid friendly visit to
John Days well-known temple of fortune
at Long Branch. He knew the proprietor
well, and as a matter of curiosity explained

Withstand it. What will you do if a man
comes In here and plays this method
against your gamer"
oh" said John DAILY with a shrug of
his shoulders, 'this sort of thing won't
worry us. In the first place, you must
bear in mind that a man who thinks he
has sure thing, such as this appears to
be, will play more than s. at a time. He
is apt to put down not less than S25 in the
wager, and you can readily see that in the
doublings up of this sum he would fire.
quently have to bet more than 500 at one
time. Even if he bet SO at a time and
had many successive losses, which is not
unusual he would be obliged, in order to
win by this system, to make some one
wager 90 beyond the century mark. Now
we have reserve rule, as have all other
houses of this kind, for our own protec-
ton, and that permits US at any time TO
make 500 the limit of all betting The
enforcement OF that regulation would COM
