American Rush,

One has only to contemplate the men and
their movements about one of the larger
hotels to understand 'ust how fast the
American people arc eally living. The
commercial men, especially, are living on

very far behind. The man who travels ex.

his days work by the minutes and estimate

beamed the generous promise of warmth

Self-made man, having received but
three months schooling, in the sense OF
obtaining educational training, at a
public school while boy, though later
on he fitted himself for admission to a
private educational institution and made
rapid strides in his studies.
But it was not his book learning that
brought him into railrOading and freight
dispatching. 1t was his ability as a
baker of waffies that attacted the atten-
ton of the official who was instrument
tai in getting him on the ''road." When
a boy he somehow learned the art and
mystery of making waffieS. AT that
time he was engaged in doing the chores
for family at Fort Washington. Presi-
dent Frank /. Comfy, Of the North

One of Mr.. COmly'S weaknesses was an
appetite for WaffleS. One day he took

COX AND THE TURKEYS.
The Lamented sunsets Joke and
How Ii Was Seen Next Day.

Washington Post.
There was something the wag as well
as of the wit abo ut Mr.. Cox. He lived
at the Riggs house when in Washing
ton. Mrs. Cox had learned of some
New York families in Washington who
were not in highly prosperous cIrcum-
stances, and had suggested to Mr.. Cox
that he send turkey on Thanksgiving
day to each family. and do it in such'a
manner that the donor could not be
known. The reason for this was that
Mrs. Cox suspected some of the families
she wished to aid might return the gift
if the source was known. Mr.. Cox was
deputed to carry out this worthy inten-
ton, and he consulted the late Congress-
man Stahlnecker, of Yonkers. o.
'.Oh, that will be easy enough" said
Mr.. Stahlnecker. Order enough
dressed turkeys to go around, send the
addresses to the dealer, and let him de-
liver them.'' 81
"But dressed turkeys won't do" said
Mr.. Cox. 1.-The thing must be a Sc
cret"
"What's the differenceP" inquired
Stahlnecker, unsuspectingly. I'D
"Why," said Mr.. Cox, "the gift of "a
dressed turkey would be a dead give
away"
Stahlnecker was on a train going to
New York the next day before the pun
in its full measure of atrocity, broke
upon him. He was then so overcome
by It that he telegraphed from Phila-
delphia that the joke had just got
through his head, and he would pay for
all the turkeys. alive or dressed, that
Mrs. Cox wanted to order.

One of the most distinguished mem.
bers of Pappenheim was the famous
Gen. Gottfried Heinrich Pappenheim,
of the Thirty Years War, the steadfast
friend of Wallenstein. Like Wallen-
stein himself, he found death in the
field, though not until his body had
borne twenty wounds. The present
family were near and devoted friends
of the late Louis of Bavaria, whom some
called mad, but whom others, looking
upon the great works completed under
his direction. hold to have been a
genius.

in a bliSsful state Of uncertainty as to
which one of the numerous Counts Of

law from going into trade in his own
country, has settled in business of Chi
cago, where he lives in handsome style.
He spent some time visiting here about
year ago. He is now on visit to his
mother at the old place in Germany.

be content with wondering whether the

"CINCH ON ROULETTE."
A Gotham Millionaire Declares
He Has Discovered a Precious

Secret.
New York Sun.
A millionaire owner Of stocks who is
well known in this city and Newport,
and is fond of taking little flyer now
and then at gambling just for recre-
alton, has big sensation in store for
Gotham gamblers. 1t is nothing less
than ''dead cinch" on roulette and
all other games in which the chances Of
winning and losing are even. The news
of the discovery is said to have made
big sensation among some lively club
men in the Nineteenth precinct, among
whom the millionaire is held in high
esteem.
The ''cinch" consists of an arithmet-
zeal progression play. OF pets on hye
single numerals. 1t is alleged by the
millionaire that it will stand to win S25
on every seriesof plays in which it is
used at roulette or any game on the odd
and even principal. He makes his bets
by adding two of the five figures to-
gether, and stalking the aggregate
amount in money on the turn OF the
wheel. Every winning bet knocks out
two of the figures from the series, and
every loss adds one to it. Play is kept
up until enough successes have been
made to wipe out the entire series of
figures. When this is accomplished, he
is sure, it is said, to find himself a
winner.
1t is declared Furthermore for this
new discovery that 1t knocks all other
systems of play. or so-calied "cincheS,"
end wise in the important particular
that a crooked rouIe tie boaad can not
beat it, even if the player were unfor-
tunate enough to stack up against that
much dreaded swindling apparatus. The
only annoyance that the player OF it en-
counters is that once in a great while
the player may get near his limit in
reaching the winning of S25.
The millionaire played the "cinch''
alluringly on Wednesday night for the
amusement of lot of personal friends,
making his bets on ''head and taiF' on
the toss of half-dollar silver piece. He
PLAYED dozens of series and the five
mystic numerals, and with unvarylng
regularity the tally kept demonstrating
ing the winner to the tune of S25. He
varied his bets from head to tall
as fancy prompted, and still the re-
suit was. mOnoton0msly victorious LOT
the s'cinch" plan. The millionaire said
that he hadn't tried the scheme on faro
yet, but that he fancied it might work
at that game, too, provided splits"
were counted as losses in playing the
method and the next bet made accord
ingly. The eyes of the witnesses of the
workings of the "cinch' sparkled with
pleasure as they studied the new idea,
and they made arrangements to stock
their pocketbooks and start in for an
attack on the roulette wheel as soon as
the present rigid embargo on the gam
bling houses is lifted.
