HENRY CLAWS POKER PLAYING.
Some Stories That Recall the Old Gam
bling Days at the Capital.

THAT is the very table at which
Henry Clay used to lose the greater
part of his Congressional salary" said
an old Washington gambler. "The
game he used to play was one in which
the blind was 80 cents and 81 to come
in. There was no limit in those days,
as there generally is to-day. A mar
could, however, demand a sight for hi.
money. Clay's antagonist was gener
ally a man named Bright. and both
preferred to play two-handed game.
The cards were cut one day and Clay
got the first deal. He was better
card-shuffier than lives to-day. He
could hold his hands four feet apart
and fly the cards from one to the other
without a single card falling. Gen.
orally he dealt with one hand
and without perceptible move
ment of the arm, throwing each
to its proper place with his long mus.
cular fingers. Clay was poor poker
play, however. He played for excite
ment and not for gain, and rs he was
careless about his bets he generally
came out the loser He almost ALWAYS
straddled the blind. and whatever
hand he held would raise the bet of his
antagonist. He used to bluff great
deal, and as this would soon be found
out he would come out a loser.
For nearly two hours the night ]
speak of Clay had been having his own
way with Bri ght. He held king full
four times running and then had
jack full. Bright did his best to
catch Clay in bluff, but it was of no
use. Clay had hand that could be
beaten only by tours. The play began
at O'Clock and by 1880 Bright had
lost 81, 500 and had borrowed $500
from John Hancock. After that Claws
luck vanished, and by midnight he had
lost all his winnings and $1,000 be-
sides-all the cash he had with him.
1T was Saturday night and Bright
proposed that they quit so they could
90 to church in the morning, but CLAW
wouldn't have it. So he borrowed
$500 from Bright and let the game gc
on. The game was continued, and bv
daylight he owed Bright $1,000. He
liquidated the debt by giving Bright a
deed for $50 acres of Kentucky land
and six shares OF stock in a Louisville
bank.
CLAY went to church all the same
that morning. While he was talking
to the rector after it was over he pui
his hand in his pocket and pulled out
pack of cards along with his handker-
chief. They tluttered to the ground,
but Clay was not abashed. and re.
placing them said that they must have
been placed there as practical joke"

The preparatory training for the
pitcher should be even more gradual
than that of the other players. He
should begin in the winter to take ur
all the exercises suggested for in
creasing the supplenesS and strength
of muscles of the arm and shoulder.
particularly the latter. He should
use the light dumb-bels, going
through as great variety of motions
as the most thorough system provides.
He should vary the bells by exercises
with the Indian-clubs. After a week
of this. he ought to do some rope
climbing and swinging on the flying.
rings, if he enjoys the advantages of
well-equipped gymnasium. Every day
he should throw little. both over.
hand and underhand. but without ut.
tempting anything like speed. aud he
should avoid curves until he has had
two weeks or more of this general exer.
oise.
He may then begin upon the curves
with degree of safety; taking prefer
ably the in-curvcs first. for a day or
two, and later the out-curves. If
comrade can 90 through the work with
him, nothing could be better; for they
may be mutually useful. not only in
keeping up the interest, but also by
acting as massage operators upon each
other. The arm and shoulder should
be thoroughly rubbed and kueaded
every day, and if there be any sus-
piciOu of lameness little alcohol or
cider brandy many be rubbed in. The
pitcher should not be called upon to
pitch for any cage-batting. except at
his own desire, and even then he
should not be allowed to do very much
of it.
Having made good beginning. and
having with no apparent difficulty
reached point where he can get his
curves and speed without any feeling
of exhaustion or heaviness in the arm
or shoulder, the next point of danger
comes with the first outdoor practice.
For this reason. it is an excellent plan
for the pitcher to 60 into the open air
for little preliminary work some days
before the rest of the nine are put in
the field. In doing this he must re-
member that he should be almost as
careful again as he was while getting
broken in for the winter work. He
should do no hard pitching tor several
days. and should have His arm and
shoulder well rubbed with alcohol
after his exercise. Until the weather
is warm and settled, the pitcher should
avoid hard pitching, or he will bitterly
repent it. To cure lame arm is a
difficult task, but of course the treat
ment will vary with the nature and ex-
tent of injury. Recovery is question
of rest and the encouragement of union
by means of electricity, friction, or
other gentle stimulus to the circulation
through the part. As rule it is wise
to seek at once physician or surgeon.

SLEEPY HOLLOW,
Hawthornc's and Emerson's Graves Neg.
lected--Thoreau and Alcott.

A little outside of the town of Con-
cord. Mass, lies an ancient burial
ground known as Sleepy Hollow. says
the Bangor Commercial. The fame of
the place is but little known. and few
its historical relations. On hill of
some prominence lie the graves of four
famous writers, Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louise NJ. Alcott
and Henry ID. Thoreau.
Here to the right lies what was NOR.
tai of the philosopher, Emerson. A
large triangular block of quartz, five or
six feet in height, marks the spot, its
sides presenting rough irregular ap.
pearance on account of the pieces that
have been chipped off by the relic
seekers. Since the opening of the
grave short time since by unknown
hands. the body has been inclosed in a
tomb of granite, built below the monu-
ment. No name stands carven to tell
the passer-by of the great man buried
there. The tall grass and weeds grow
ing above the grave show plainly that
it has long been neglected.
But little distance away is the grave
of Hawthorne, No stone is there to
mark the spot. and were it not for the
mentioning of the fact by the guide the
visitor would never know it. As this
truth dawns upon him he asks why it
is that one who achieved such fame and
honor should have been so neglected.
Strange it is that those who laid him
here to rest have planted neither
monument nor slab as memorial to
his name. Asking the guide where his
wife lies buried he simply shakes his
head. and. pointing to the grave, says:
Maybe she was buried there, too"
Surely rs one looks at these mounds
of earth and thinks of those long buried
there. reviewing their lives and works.
he is ut n loss to account for this SEEM
ing neglect Who is there who can
read the works of these great masters
and not love them, too? But we must
stop a moment for there is one whom
we have not mentioned. 1t is Thoreau.
You doubtless know of him, and are
familiar with those vivid scenes which
he has drawn, enacted in the wilds of
Maine
For years his grave remained I'M
marked, but thanks to the generous
impulses of Mr.. Thatcher a handsome
monument of Maine granite stands
over his grave, and contains the names
of his wife and children buried there.
This deed is 4 most worthy one,
Thoreau having been only distant
relative of Mr.. Thatcher. and the quiet
manner in which it was effected re-
fleets great credit upon him. As long
as it marks the grave of Thoreau. it
will also stand as reminder of the
generosity of him through whose kind
ness ii was erected.

A Woful Failure in Discourtesy.

four years, and got little bit more

Mr.. COope's Smart Terrier.

Among the valuable dogs owned by
is family of thoroughbred wire haired
terriers. These little creatures are
very bright, and among other achieve
ments are quite expert at snake-kill
ing. That they have an intuitive
knowledge not only of how to kill
snakes but how to heal themselves if
a snake gets the better of an encounter
was proved not long since by an Incl
dent noticed by some of the employees
The mother terrier having discovered
>rattlesnake ready coiled for spring
placed herself at q safe distance and
began barking loudly for an assistant.
One of her family of terriers responded
to the call. when the two dogs placed
themselves one on either side of the
RATHER, barking at it and slowly ap-
preaching it from opposite directions
until within about striking distance
for the serpent. The exasperated rat
tier at last sprang at the younger dog
when the mother in great fury bounced
upon the snake. The terriers seize
the serpent about midway of the body
and shake them without mercy until
life is extinct.
In this case the mother terrier at
tempted the usual mode of procedure,
and was fairly successful, but the fangs
of the snake in some way struck her,
infiicting wound. 1t was evident to
those watching her that her sufferings
began at once but she did not lose her
head with fear. She made for a bunch
of snake weed not far off and ate free
ly of it. Her next move was to pool
of water that made Il small muddy
spot. Into this she plunged. rolling
herself about in every direction and
covering herself with mud. The on
lockers gave her no for lost. but the
canine physician had healed herself
and the next morning WAS entirely all
right, as if she bad never met his rat
tlesnakesnip in deadly combat.
