How n Horseman Took in q Couple of
Drummers.

How n Horseman Took in Couple of
Drummers.
If | live to be 1000 years old l shall
never forget how stranger took five of
us in one day at Syracuse, N. Y, in
manner so slick that he walked off with
our cash before we had a suspicion, says
a writer to the New York Sportsman.
1t was a rainy, dismal afternoon, and a
dozen--agents, drummers, drovers and
others-were sitting about the Office.
Some one read newspaper clipping
about bigamist who had seven wives,
and pretty soon each one had an opinion
to advance. Finally well-dressed,
good-looking man ventured the observa-
tion:
Il myself could have married dozen
women on an hours notice. It's all in
the first impression created"
Some agreed and some differed, and
the discussion began to assume more
vigorous tone. BY and by the same
man again observed:
"You may think me conceited, gen.
tlemen, but Tn only telling you what 1
know can do. I've always had extra
ordinary luck with women. I'll ven
ture to say that l can go down to the
depot, pick out the best-looking woman
in the waiting-room and if she is not
already married, that [ can take her to
the parsons inside of an hour"
There was grand laugh at this, but
he looked very serious rs he continued ::
perhaps this crowd has some cash to
lose on that? If SO, let's talk busi-
ness"
After bit we came to an understand
ing. Five of us were to chip in 500
each against $500 of his money. We
were to go to the New York Central
tSpot, select female, and if she
proved to be unmarried he was to per-
suade her into marriage inside of one,
hour or forfeit his money. We could,
have raised 81 900 as we'll as half that
sum, but he could not cover it.
Nine of us went down to the depot.
Among the waiting passengers were
seventeen females, but on looking them
over our choice was limited to three.
We finally selected q woman we be-
lieved to be widow. She was fairly
handsome, well-dressed, and had two
parcels on the seat beside her. We got
seats near by and then our masher APP
preached. lie asked what train she
was going out on, spoke about the
weather, and, to our surprise, was not
rebuff'ed. Within ten minutes he had
asked her if she was widow, and she
had scarcely answered in the affirma-
tive when he began to plead his case.
1t was only fcrty minutes by the watch
when he came over to us and said
Gentlemen, I'd like two or three OF
you to accompany that lady and myself
to the parsons as witnesses to our mar
riage"
We went and they were duly married
and the stakes passed over. The lady
acted as coy and shy and embarrassed
as you please, and confessed that it was
a case Of love at first sight. They took
train two hours later, and when they
were fairly off we learned that he was
horseman from Chicago and that the
woman had been his lawful wife for the
past fifteen years. Cleveland Plain

s.ans observance ana remarks OF theil
humber neighbors that the pews were
made high SO as to shut them out from
"iew. Comfort and privacy were theii
chief objects, and some of the pews were
very gorgeous.
The development of the growth of the
chair in church worship had an analogous
growth in the homes of the better classes.
At first the chair had the same symbolism
of dignity, and was reserved for the head
of the household. With the chair was
the footstool, on which the children were
often allowed to sit, that they might be
petted by their fathers.
Then more chairs were INTRODUCED as
seats for honored guests, but the idea of
comfort was wanting, and the chairs were
simply fiat seat, with straight up-and-
down backs, which need not be illus
trated here, because the modern craze for
the antique has caused very good imita-
tions to be placed in almost every ones
parlor.
Within the present century some few
nations of the world have gotten an idea

New York Gambling Dens.

1t has been commonly accepted be-
lief for so me time that New York was
free from gambling dens. But as a
matter of fact there are gambling re-
sorts in full blast all over the city.
They are not classified as "dens," how
ever, but merely as establishments,
and that was the mental distinction
probably made when Superintendent
Murray, of the police force, announced
that all the gambling dens in the city
had been suppressed. Just why these
establishments are allowed to run un-
checked is not otherwise apparent un-
less on the supposition that the pro-
prietors stand solid" with the custo-
dians of the law.
These establishments are neat
places. They meet the requirements
of the 50 clerk, the professional gam
bier and the business man. The faro
chips vary in price from 80 sents to $25
each. Here college students get rid of
their surplus cash around the roulette
table and business men fill an occa.
sional check that they would not wish
to have made public. The cost OF
maintaining one of these places is enor-
nous, Liquors are always son tap"
and are free to patrons. In nearly all
surh places a fine supper is served ev,
cry night and expensive cigars handed
round. Jim Days place is perhaps
one of the best equipped New York
establishments" 1t is q brown stone
residence, SEEMINGLY private, and is
alongside the Thirtieth street police
station. Jim is worth some $500, 1000,
and the cost of running his establish.
ment for year is about $55, 5,0O0. Be.
side this those interested in this estab,
lishment count their yearly profits at
from $25, 900 to $1,000

"Then what do yer want of note ?
You know I'll pay it, don't yer?"
81 have no doubt of it; but to loan
money without security is not the
proper way to do business"
'Pshaw 1 only want the money for
a month and it'll be all right.

turned away with the most disgusting
look possible, "who the devil ever

hence we have chairs in thousand forms,

Probably the most celebrated chair in
existence is that coronation chair in

rough stone brought from Scone in Scot
