The Mathematical Fiend spoils the
Coloneps Roulette Story.
One of the guests at an uptown stag
dinner the other night, says the New
York Times, related an experience at
roulette which he claimed to have had
''some years ago." He is we'll known in
the city as an entertaining story teller.
He is sometimes inaccurate, but invaria-
bly, entertaining. After modestly stating
that he rarely gambled, he said on one
occasion he had carelessly placed dol
lar on the number 13 on q roulett8
table, and that 13 won five times in sue
cession, his original wager being al
lowed to accumulate. All but one of
the diners accepted the tale and OK
pressed their astonishment at the ex-
traordinary occurrence. The exception
made some rapid calculations on the
back Of the menu.
Colonel" asked the Exception pres
emily, show much did you say you won?"
II didn't say" replied the Colonel,
"but it was several thousand dollars"
"It must have been several thousand,
at least" said the Exception, pleasant
ly. 81 think it must have been even
more. You said nothing about the limit,
SO assume that you were allowed the
unusual privilege of playing without a
limit"
Certainly, sir; certainly" answered
the Colonel, stoutly, but noticing the
Exceptions figures with some nervous
ness; 81 requested jocularly that the
limit be removed, and the request was
granted"
"Very WE'LL" went on his tormentor,
"then you probably bankrupted the
gambling house. If, as you say, you
did not take down any of your winnings,
you must have won mighty fortune
On the first roll of the wheel you won

Color Of Natural Wool.

concerning the proper color Of natural
wool, and of natural silk, too, for that
matter, so tina. furnisher is very often
compelled to keep his natural" wool

his natural" silk ditto Of rich salmon

TO verify as being the natural color Of

Now, many long hours soak in the

Speeding His Locomotive at the Com
mand of an Armed Maniac.
Tom Lotus, the stalwart Fort Worth
engineer, dropped in at the Windsor the
other day and related thrilling ex-
perience of his life in the cab to q
Denver Republican reporter. Tom ran
a train in Missouri. When the James
and Younger banditti were lively Tom
carried a regular arsenal in his engine
cab. 1t was bitter cold night on the
occasion in question, and the big en-
gineer was at the throttle on the west
bound limited express for Kansas City.
Suddenly Lotus heard creaking
sound back of the engine. He turned and
looked into the barrel Of cleaning re-
volver, behing which stood deter
minedlooking man. The stranger also
covered the fireman. At once visions OF
train robbers flashed across the engin-
GERS mind. The stranger did not utter
syllable, but stood silently near the
brake, pointing his revolver first at the
engineer and then at tho fireman.
What do you want?' queried LOTUS.
"Open that throttle wide," was tho
stern response. Tho command was
obeyed and the train dashed along with
such speed that in rounding sharp
curve the supposed train robber was
thrown off his feet to the floor of the
cab. LOTUS Immediately seized and
disarmed him. Then he shook him like
rat and slowed down the train.
At this juncture slim man wearing a
tin star on his breast and frightened
almost to death appeared at the door OF
the baggage-car and shouted in q
frightened tone to LOTUS to not hurt the
supposed Jesse James. Creeping over
the tender the slim man explained that
the man was patient on his way to the
insane asylum at Fulton.

pattern after the older and larger ones:

cannot fail to bring the line and those hav-

something more than common carrier

its influence and contributes its means

kEwAUNEE cannot get life saving
station unless it makes donation. This
is unfair to that city. A life saving
station is for the sailors generally and
there is no good reason why the place at
which it is loo lted should be called upon
to contribute specially. But Kewaunee
has dropped the question of life saving
station and goes in for bigger" game. 1t
is not discouraged by its experience with
railroads and wants to dabble in danger
GUS expectations. Even though it could
secure line from Green Bay it is useless
to hope that spur would ever be part of
a through line. Kewaunee should pull
its aspirations down to level with pos
sibilities.

PERFECTION REACHED.
AN INTERESTING MACHINE FOR DENTAL

AN INTERESTING MACHINE FOR DENTAL
WORK.
A very extraordinary machine was on
exhibition last week at the dental labora-
tory attached to Messrs. Bundle & Up
meyers iewelry establishment. 1t was
dental or surgical engine invented by
Dr.. c. Fl. Seeger, OF Manitowoc, and it is
calculated to effect revolution in the
more intricate operations of modern den
tistry. People who are in the habit of
getting their teeth fixed must have often
wondered at the intricacy OF the boring,
filing and stopping machine that the
operator worked with his foot, while the
instrument buzzed around in the patient
mouth and caused him divers pangs of
ever varying anguish. Under the cir
cumstances the patients thoughts are too
preoccupied to think about the lncon-
venlence suffered by the dentist through
having towork pedals, but, as matter
OF fact, besides partially drawing away
his attention from the operation, it also
saperinduces species OF paralytic lame
ness, known as dentists leg. More
over. in such an instrument it is absolute
ly impossible to stop or reverse the
action instantaneously, or as quickly as
the occasion frequently requires, and
some operations are thereby seriously af-
fected. DR.. Seeger's new engine however,
IS run by either electricity or water
power, and can be started, stopped or re-
versed in an instant by simply pressing
a pedal with the toe. It also can be as
quickly regulated to any desired speed,
ard under all circumstances gives more
even and therefore better motion than
can possibly be obtained by foot power
machine. Its wonderful facilities of re-
verse and stop action, however, are its
main points of superiority; and it may
be safely estimated that DR.. Seeger's
engine will shortly be found In every well
equipped dentist parlor in the country
Milwaukee Sentinel.

A SENSATION.

On Tuesday afternoon the city was
thrown into fever OF excitement by the
arrest of E. S. Sherman, city clerk and
proprietor of boot and shoe store, charg-
ed with having seduced a girl Is years oil
age, Laura PITT. The story seemed i'm
probable because OF the seeming sturdy
good sense of the man, his position IN
society and the age of the girl. The story
flew like wild fire through the city and
soon excited groups were on every street
corner discussing the matter. Sherman
was thunderstruck when arrested but
proceeded quietly with the sheriff to the
Office of Justice Markham, where he ex-
amined the charge against him and at
once pleaded not guilty. The examina-
ton was postponed until the Goth and
Sherman's bah was fixed at 5000, which
he was unable to procure and SO went to
jail.
The warrant was sworn out by the
girls father to whom she had confessed
the evening previous. She had left her
fathers house on Monday evening telling
him she intended to call at neighbors.
For some time there have been suspicious,
which rarely took the form OF precise ac-
cusation but were sufficiently tangible to
put the officers on the alert when Sherman
and the girl were seen together On this
evening they were reported to be in CON-
pany and it was even said they entered
the store together. Marshal Benson who
frequently heard these runiors and who
was wholly at loss what TO do under
the circumstances, thought it best to
notify the girls father and sent a man on
that errand while he kept watch on the
store himself. The father refused to be-
lieve what he was told but went at once
to the neighbours house where he sup
posed his daughter was and found she
had IT, been there at all that evening.
He then joined the marshal but though
close watch was kept no one was dlsvov-
cred issuing from the building. When
PITT went home his daughter had re.
turned She then made confession inn
plicating Sherman, and on this the war
rant was issued.
The offense charged is terrible one
and II is to be hoped the girl is mistaken
as to the extent of the crime. Sherman
insists he can prove his innocence and
every one hopes that for his familys sake,
the girls and his O he can do SO. If
there is no error in the girls confession
or other exteuuating circumstance the
case is indeed hard one.
Sherman is about 80 years of age, ply
sically and mentally strong and always
thought to be man of excellent common
sense He is a man of force in any
gathering and one not easily led astray
by excitement.
The change made in the law for seduc-
ton by the last legislature practically
leaves the offense unpurfishable. The
law of consent was chrnged from IA to
II years of age and no punishment was
prescribed for an offense of this kind if
the girl is over u years. 1t was this
change which The Pilot denounced so
unsparingly at the close of the session
and asked that a special session of the
legislature be called to provide for the
omission But it was laughed at for its
DaiDS
