GAMING FOR A MANS LIFE.

says the Atlanta Constitution. The
circumstantial evidence against the
man was very strong, and when the
jury retired and took o ballot the re-
suit was six for conviction and six for
acquital. 1t remained this way for
two days and two nights, neither side
showing any disposition to change
their minds.
At last one OF the jury named Silver
tooth proposed a game of seven-up be-
tween the oposing sides, one man TO
be selected from each side. and who
ever won. the losing side were to
stand by the result. This was agreed
to, and Silvertooth, who vas in favor
of acquitting the prisoner. and an
other juror who was strongly in favor
OF conviction, commenced the game.
1t was q holly contested game, and
each juror had scored six points when
it came Silvertoo.h's time to deal.
He shuified the cards carefully and
dealt off the sufficient number to each,
and then turned a jack, which made
him win the game, and which saved
the prisoners life. The six men who
were for conviction voted with the
other six for acquittal, aud the pris-
oner was released from custody.

Large and Resnectable.r

There is q large coinage Of good
stories about the Hoo. Hannibal Hhlnlin
up in Maine. and this is one of them:
In his earlier days. ut q certain caucus
in Hampden, the only attendants were
himself and a citizen of very large
tature. Mr.. Hamlin had some res
olutions to pass which began by rep
resenting that they wero presented
to u Large and respectable" gati1r-
ing of voters. Hold on" cried the
other man; 1--WE can't pass that for it
ant true! 1t ant a large and re,l ect-
able caucus! There's only two OF Us. "
''You keep still. brothor!" commented
the willy Hannibal; Its all right. for
you are large and l am respeo x,ble.
You just keep still" So the resolu-
tions were passed without further
demur.

ran,s Man Conc Dan.


In the last Pukwana Press +. b, Taft's
general utility a Knight issues the fol-
lowing manifesto:
A few days ago l received word from
klmball that they could Out-trot any
horse Taft had with the Reed horse. In
reply | want to say that I IAN get Taft's
horse, and will match Boniface, mile
heats, three in five, to be trotted at Cas-
Italia, Chamberlain or Pukwana. In the
race at Kimball on Oct. III, according to
rules. they did not win. 1t was to be
trotted under National Rules, and the
race was to have been called at one
O'clock, the horse failing to appear should
lose the forfeit. Bonifaee was there and
ready to start, but the Reed party did not
show up until half past two. Next, Taft
was weighed and carried $50 pounds in
the first heat, while their driver was al
lowed to start with % to so pounds short,
which would distance them. When Mr..
Foote was asked how they judged the
race under national rules and allowed
the Reed horse to start again, he said it
was an oversight. But it wa by these
oversights that | lost my money, 1t was
just the same in other things, and would
like to know how much the Reed crowd
had to fee the judges. Now, gentlemen,
| will say to you that B%oniface can beat
Reeds horse in any kind OF Il race two
horses ever went, and if you think you
can do the trick again, you know where
to find me.
Mr.. Knight probably knew that the
Reed horse had been shipped to Sioux
City when he caused the above to be pub
lished. .
Mr.. Taft told the writer in effect that
he would not have made the race had he
not been deceived in the speed of Reeds
horse. We have yet to hear him express
an opinion other than that Boniface was
fairly beaten.
The Reed horse was jogging on the
track when the judges first entered the
stand and appeared promptly at the first
call of the bell. Mr.. Taft weighed in
private, not in the presence of the Judges
or at their instigation. No judges could
have awarded his horse the race on the
technicalities named but any set of judges
on any national track would have been
very apt to have d~istanced Boniface for
running.

Now, all Of you look at the board very
thoughtfully and don't speak. Perhaps
some of you will discover something cur
ious. l will give you five minutes"
Before they were up l saw Fred had
discovered something and was aching to
tell it. When | gave the signal he burst
out with: "They count right straight up
and down, don't you see they do2" And
he rose and showed Ralph, pointing to
the tens columns. "See, 1,2, B. 4, s. g., Z,
8, 81"
"And." said Daisy, 1.-THE units column
counts backward"
$50 it does,', exclaimed fred. l never
noticed that before. / believe 1 shant
miss now. always know that 3x9 equals
q. Now, if a fellow doesn't know 4x9
all he has to do is to take 1 from the Z
and add it to the 2 and there you have it
SO. Why is it, mother? What makes it
count up and down SOP"
"Well, you see, Fred, every time you
add 9 you add 10-1, which is the same
Ihlng. You add AOne ten and subtract one
unit"
ooh yes, so we do" they chorused.
"And there is another curious fact that
will help Fred more still. wish 1 had
known it when l was a girl. Don't you
see the tens figure each time is one less
than the number Of times nine?"
$50 it is! Hurrahp said the boys.
"And also don't you see the units figure
plus the tens figure makes 8 every timer"
who can't say the gs now?" cried
Fred. Il and 8 equals 8, 2 and Z equals
8, and 30 down."
"Why didn't we see it all before? Pm

SURGERY FOR PlANlsrs.

A Delicate Operation Productive of
Remarkable Results.
The aid of tho surgeon has been
called for the piano-playing fraternity.
The operation to be performed by him
is n that has long been a favorite
one, in theory. in Germany, but as the
first attempts to put it into execution
were not successful, the idea gradually
dropped out OF the learned German
heads, and nothing more was heard
OF II. But q few weeks ago there was
a sudden rise OF the new theory in
an Francisco. where a certain musical
director. who had considerable ana
tomical knowledge and much faith in
the possibility Of the operation, tried
it first upon himself and then upon
snndr.y other ambitious piano players
With cemplete success. The operation
is not a difficult one. and consists
simply in liberating the third or ring
finger of each hand, which in its
large tendon al to prevent its free use
or lift. and also the widest expansion
OF the hand. The operation is an
exceedingly simple but an exceedingly
delicate one, much skill being required
to locate exactly the tendon to be
liberated; after that q little cocaine is
injected, and then q knife, so tiny as
to be little moro than u needle, is
inserted at such an anglo that it cuts
just the tendon and nothing else.
There is little blood and little pain.
A mechanical separation OF the fingers
by keeping some substance between
them for u few days is necessary, and
then the affair is over, with "a won
derful new power of expansion in the
hand and OF lift OF that particular
finger.
