AN OLD.TIME TRICK.
Beating Policy With Pigeons-How Player
Made Fortune.

Albany Journal.l
In the old days before the telegraph a
man in Greenbush, N. Y, who was infatu-
ated with lottery policy as it was then
PLAYED, hit on plan of "beating the game. %
The returns of drawings were then received
in New York some hours in advance of the
Albany agents receipt Of them, and it oc-
CURED to him to try heading off the mail
with carrier pigeons. So very secretly he
secured couple Of pair of homers, and
when the time for the next drawing ap-
preached shipped them to New York. A
relative in New York secured the drawing
as 1t arrived, and fastening a slip contain
ing it properly secured about each pigeon 5
neck, let them loose. They arrived in
Albany far in advance of the mail, and the
Greenbush man investing heavily on the
numbers thus received nearly bankrupted
the policy men on his first essay. He
worked it more guardedly thereafter, but
they finally tumbled, and placing upon him
the sobriquet of II fly" he retained it to
his death. His winnings were at least $780,
600.

Pastures New.
Howard's Letter.l
individuality is totally different thing
from originality. The great body of men
go through life in ordinary ways, utilizing,
as it were, the street car Of transporta.
tion. A few have their own coupe. There
are thousands upon thousands of common
carrier vehicles to every one individual con-
veyance. There are millions who use that
which is common, when there are but
scores able to keep for their own special ac-
commodation, private means Of going here
or there.
How many boys with whom you went to
school, how many youths with whom you
went to college, are known by name to-day
to the communities in which they live.
Newspaper men, officials, if asked to give
a thousand names from memory might do
so. But if asked to name thousand indi-
vidualties, by which mean names of men
who have made themselves felt in all the
world during the past 20 years, the most ex-
pert would be palsied ere he had reached
the third hundred.
You see, as rule, men don't amount to
much.
They are born, heaven knows why. They
pass along the highways or the byways, in
conspicuous, unattraetive, unsuccessful, as
rule, and die. Nobody knows whence
they came, what they are here for is a mon
umental puzzle and nobody knows where
they go to.
The dominies have great advantage over
the rude and unlettered in that there is no
possibility of demonstrating the falsity of
their assertions. No one has as yet returned
from any part, so far as we know, of the un-
discovered country, and the great problem
which necessarily forces itself ever un-
solved upon every human mind is sis this
the end?" The dominies say no, but that's
their business. They are paid very well to
say "No, this is not the end. There is
future" As Mary Fisk said: eve don't
believe much, but we hope great DEAL"
and in that pithy sentence is the concrete
common sense result of centuries of thought
We can't believe much, but we all hope a
great deal.
So that?
Well, it seems to me that the $50 that" is
obvious. Strike out, swim away from other
men. Make your own record. Don't ever
lastingly be somebody else's lieutenant.
Avoid beaten paths. If you can't make q
spoon, at least spoil horn in laudable en-
deavor. The second horn may not be
spoiled.

EXPENSE Is NO OBJECT.
Two Bands Entertain Twelve Guests at the
Ponce de Leon Hotel.

Ponce de Leon Hotel.
Curious stories come from Ponce de Leon
Hotel in st. Augustine. Mr.. Flagler's ex-
penditure there now amounts to nearly
S6,OOO,OOO. Early in January there were
only u guests in the hotel. At the
same time two bands were engaged
in the hotel. One is Spanish band
that plays during the dinner hour on man
dolins and sings quaint Spanish songs. The
other is famous New York band, play
ing in the courts, and for the morn
ing and evening concerts. Mr.. Seavey,
the manager Of the hotel, wrote Mr.
Flsgler, and suggested that as there
were only II guests in the house he dis
pense with one of the bands. Mr.. Flagler
wrote back that he didn't want any sugges-
tions from Mr.. Seavey as to how expenses
could be decreased, bat il he had anything
to say as to how the attractiveness of the
hotel could be increased be would be glad to
hear from him.
Mr.. Flagler does not seem discouraged.
He has just bought the railroad running
from st. Augustine to Palatka and from st.
Augustine to Jacksonville. Last SUNDAY
he changed both OF these to broad-gauge
roads, and shortened the schedule more than
halt. He is going to build bridge over
the St. Johns, so that the vestibule trains
can run into st. Augustine from New York
without transfer He is building an opera
house in ST. Augustine at a cost of
$500, 900, a magnificent church, and a
Union depot that will cost about S20O, 900.
This depot he will surround with superb
park. Heis paving every street running to
the hotel with asphalt at his own expense.
In short, he is determined to make st. Au-
gustine the grandest pleasure resort on
earth. His Russian baths in the Alcazar
cost $500, 900, and are luxurious beyond de-
scription. He says he will spend $40, ,O00,-
900 before he has completed his pleasure
plant to suit his ideas.

HOW TO KILL A BEAR.
An Old Man Gives Advice to Young Wen
@ Who Go Hanting.

Who Go Hanting.
New York SUM
"Yes. 1 'spose I've killed more bars
than any other man in the State of Penn
sylvania." said the old man, as he pushed
back his coonskin cap. ''The total count Is
about so, ! believe"
"You must have been in dangerous posi-
tons many times?"
"You beti'
"I suppose that scar on your cheek was
made by the claws of bear?'
"That scar? Oh, no. The old woman hit
me thar with splinter
"Your left eye is gone. Did bear do
that?"
Cleft eyea Oh, no. The old COW hooked
that out"
"Fifty bears is a good many. Some of
them must have been old and ferce?"
"You bet!"
1T notice your right hand is crippled. I
suppose bear got It into his mouth?"
"Right hand? Oh, no. I got that caught
in corn sheIler."
"You walk lame in one leg. Did that
come from tustle with bear?"
lone leg? Oh, no. I fell offa load Of hay
and broke my Leg"
"Well," persisted the questioner, "that
scar over your right eye must have been
made by bear"
"fsight eye? Yes, purity near being a
bar. I run agin beam in the barn in the
dark"
"Then you were never hugged, chawed,
nor clawed by bear?" quried the reporter
in disgust.
"By bear. Oh, no."
"But you have killed 50?'
"Yes, an even So"
Glow did it happen that you were never
harmed?"
Harmed? Oh, always shot 'em at least
40 rods of, or first got 'em into trap and
shot 'em afterwards. Don't never let a
bar come nigh to you, young man-they's
dangerous"

The Cane as a Weapon.
New York SUM-

"The way to use your cane" said noted
foreigner the other day, sis not to strike
with it as If it were club. That is of so
little use that it is doubtful if it would not
be wrenched away from you the first blow
you tried to strike. You can make a cane
the most ugly and vicious of weapons by
simply punching with it. You hold the
handle in your right hand and use your left
hand merely to guide the point. Then jab
with it at your assailant's stomach, neck, or
face, accordingly as you want to hurt him.
He cannot get the cane away from you, and
cannot get within arms reach of you

IL,

Newnham's coming of age was celebrated
with even greater festivity than signalized
his birth. By this time the reproach of trade
no longer sullied the name of Constam.
Newman was regarded as much a lord of
the soil as if his ancestors had struck their
roots in Greystoke centuries back.
HE is quite one of us" one old dowager
was heard to remark. Accordingly when
the choice of the young Squire of Greystoke
fell on the beautiful but lightly-portioned
daughter of the Earl of Selincourt no I'M
pedlment interfered with the success of his
wooing.
Gle will make handsome settlements" {"
Lord Selincourt whispered in the ear of his
wife, when that observant lady drew the at
tention of her spouse to the marked manner
with which Newman Constam was singing
out the fair Lady Barbara for his favors.
during the festivities which celebrated the
coming of the young man into his kingdom.
Lady Selincourt murmured smiling assent
to this obvious commonplace.
But whatever mercenary thoughts may
have glanced through the minds Of her par
ents, assuredly none lodged in the maiden
heart of the Lady Barbara herself, who COM
bined with her sang bleu the guileless inno-

contest going on for some time between
a majority of the School Board and the
citizens, the Trustees starting out with
the determination to select schoolhouse
site without giving the electors of the
district voice in the matter. They had
not only done this, but had let contract
to build on their selected site, and the
contractor had frame erected. The
result was, that the legality of the
action was tested in the Superior Court,
which resulted in crushing victory over
the Trustees. The Trustees being
obliged at last by law and court to give
the people q voice in matter, selected
last Saturday, May 18th, as day to
vote upon schoolhouse site. The polls
we're kept open from II O'Clock till
6 P. M. to give all fair hearing. The
result was a complete victory for the
west side of the district. The gallant
Captain, with his boasted company of
thirty-one men of the east side, failing to
materialize. Mrs. Elizabeth Hollenbeck
offered to donate to the district lot 207
feet square on the east extension of First
street, just east of Hazards east side
addition and one.half mile north Of
Occidental College. Her generous offer
was accepted by majority of eighteen
votes. II. I. Hazard generously offered
to pipe water from his main to the site
selected without cost to the district. The
Trustees were instructed by vote to
erect a schoolhouse at once on the site
selected. The people of the district are
very jubilant over the result, and on
Saturday eve had erected pole on the
new site, and hoisted the stars and
stripes to show that the spirit of the old
flag will be carried out, and the voice.of
the people must rule in this American
Republic.
