THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
Gamblers Who Have Reformed Ate
Strange Exhibitions OF Nerve.

Gamblers Who Have Reformed After
Strange Exhibitions of Nerve.
A reporter of the Athens (Ga.) Banner,
while resting from his labors on the door
step of a prominent harness-maker in our
city, was soon surrounded by several who
in their younger days were considered
adopts in the management of the paste
board abomination.
Said one who is now a bright light In the
church:
~ was playing draw poker and fixed up
the cards to give my opponent queen full,
while would hold four tves.
"The draw came, and my opponent drew
three cards to queen and nine, thus Civ
ing him four queens, while l." said the
gentleman who sits over In the amen cor
ner, drew four cards to q FIVE and got
three more fves. Thinking my opponent
had queen full and me with four fives,
went for him, and we never quit betting
until show was called for on account Of
no more money.
81 laid down my four fives," said the
Christian gentleman, ''wEile my opponent
covered them with four queens, beating me
out OF all the money had except SOS.
This was an awful mistake in fixing up
the hand, and the only way had to get
even was to play him three up at $40
game. and beat him seventeen straights
and redeemed my fallen fortune on the
poker game. This was big piece Of luck.
But those days are over, and now would
not play game IL knew could win mill
ion."
This proposition was onsidered doubtful
for a few moments by the reporter, as
chance to win million Is very rare and
would be grabbed by any one.
Another old gentleman, who is now in the
sere and yellow leaf and who has seen the
ups and downs Of city life, informed the
reporter that he had bucked against the
tiger on more than one occasion. and had
piled up his chips to the limit every time.
II was once playing against the famous
bill Moon, said this old gentleman, who
now sits in the amen corner Of the church,
'and was playing for big stakes. In the
middle Of the deal asked Bill what he
would pay il / called the next time. Bill
quickly remarked: I Will pay you 800 for
one.' called 1t with five chips five six and
1t came just as called it, and pocketed a
good round sum on the call have piled
them up In my days very lively. but this is
all In the past. 1 have quit the business
and am now working TO make living with
out it.n
There were several others Of minor i'm
portance who gave their experiences. and
the general opinion is that those days Of
! gambling are in the past

How Ely Goddard ReprOved a Couple
Very Prim Young Women.

How Ely Goddard ReprOved a Couple of
Very Prim Young Women.
Two young women and a man climbed on
top OF a Fifth avenue stage one day last
week and settled down on one of the back
seats for pleasant ride up the avenue,
says the New York Times The Young
women were Of the prim sort, and were
evidently not used to travelling on the
hurricane deck of vehicle. On the seat
with the driver was fashionably dressed
man smoking an excellent cigar and en-
joying himself to his hearts content The
smoke was waited back, but it was rather
enjoyed by all on the stage except the two
prim young ladies. They didn't like, or at
least they pretended not to like it.
"What horrible cigar that isl" said
one.
HE ought to know better than to smoke
on the STAGE" said another.
"Well, some people don't know enough
to stop smoking when there are ladies
around"
"Some one should complain to the officers
OF the company about it."
The gentleman sitting with the driver
heard all that was said, and it was evident
ly said so that he should hear it. But he
smoked right on, and didn't seem to care
whether the officers OF the company were
complained to or not The young women
kept on making remarks and his position
was little embarrassing. His cigar was
pretty well smoked down by the time he got
ready to get or
As the stage halted he turned to the
young man who was with the prim young
ladies and said ~ have heard q good deal
of what has been said about smoking.
Now, it might as well be understood that
ell these seats up here on the top Of the
stage are for smokers and those who ride
with them"
"Who is thatp' asked the young man a.
the other got down.
'Oh, that's Ely Goddard" said the
driver.
"And who Is hel''
"He's the president Of this stage COM
pany."
