A REMARKABLE DECK OF CARDS.
The Assortment Picked Up In the Streets by
Chicago Man.

n Chicago Man.
Chicago TribuneI
Frank Damek, a member of the sporting
fraternity of Chicago, has probably the
queerest deck of cards in the world. He
has been 20 years collecting the pack, and
is exceeding proud of it. He first began by
picking up playing cards in the street when
he happened to run across them. In this
way he got Is or more before he began
striking duplicates. Some days be would find
two or three, and then it would be months
before he would see another stray paste
board. But he persevered and always kept
his eyes open to add to his strange collec-
tion.
In ten years he had all but 13 cards neces-
sary to complete his deck. In the next
three years he considered himself lucky in
finding all but four. The missing ones
were the jack of clubs, the deuce of dia-
monds, the eight spot of diamonds and the
trey of spades. In the course of another
year he picked up the eight of diamonds,
and SIX months later was overjoyed to find
what he at first thought was full deck of
cards lying on the sidewalk on Dearborn
street, between Adams and jackson streets.
He thought that mis- long search was at an
end and that he could easily complete his
wonderful deck.
The jack of clubs and the trey of spades
were all right, but five or six cards were
missing, and among them the deuce of dia-
monds. 1t seemed as though he would
never be able to secure his fifty-second card,
but the other day he entered one of the
suburban trains on the Northwest ern, and
almost the first thing he saw was the deuce
of diamonds face upward in the aisle. 1t
was gilt-edged and glossy backed, the finest
of them all. He had been searching for it
for 51S years. and breathed sigh of relief.
The pack is composed of cards of all quail
ties, from the cheapest to the highest priced.
Some are clean and bright and others are
soiIed and well orn. 81.

MEMBER OF CONGRESS- SPANKED.
He is so Small His Wife Took Him for One
of Her Naughty Sons.

He is SO Small His Wife Took Him for One
of Her Naughty Sons.
New York Tribune.l
A curious story is told at the Capitol at
the expense of member OF Congress, who,
whilesof no small caliber intellectually, has
not been blessed with an abundance of
avoirdupois. He has a wife who is much
taller than he Is and who is also well-knOwn
to her children as strict disciplinarian.
One evening, so the story goes, she heard a
noise in the nursery after bedtime. She
promptly seized her slipper and started for
the scene of the uproar. just as she reached
the door the children extinguished the
light. Stretching out her hand she captured
one of the boys, and to judge from the out
cries he made the spanking was thoroughly
effective. But the mother was somewhat
surprised at the conduct of the second suf-
ferer. Instead of sobbing, he yelled profess
tations in a strong voice, and at last swore
roundly. The mother, astonished, jumped
up, and letting him fall from her knee to the
floor exclaimed tenderly:
"Is that you, hubby?"
Overwhelmed with confusion he admitted
that it was her "hubby" she had been
spanking. After they had retired amid the
muf1ed laughter OF the children, who were
trying to restrain it by stuf1ng pillows into
their mouths, explanations followed. He,
too, had heard the noise and with the same
object in view as his wife had gone to the
nursery, where he had been caught by his
spouse.
Hereafter he vows that he will allow his
wife to discipline the children unaided.

LUCK OF THE MINERS.
Peculiar Inclination That Led One to $685.
900 Worth of Nuggets.

Peculiar Inclination That Led One to $685.
900 Worth of Nuggets.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.1
While in Southern California recently 1
found that there were many men working
singly in placer mines under most adverse
circumstances, and obtaining very small
remuneration for their toll. Some of them
succeeded in washing out but 81 or So worth
of gold dust per day, while few of them
occasionally washed out as high as $40 worth
per day. Many of them remain very short
time in the diggings, but others work away
year alter year in the hope of striking it
rich some day.
, They tell a story of one man who, after
working in the place for years, suddenly
conceived the idea of digging under huge
rock, over which stream of clear water
was falling, where he WEs in the habit of
Stacking his thirst, and after digging sort
of tunnel six or eight feet inward, he was
rewarded by the discovery of pocket Of
nuggets from which he took out $68, 900
worth of gold.

BOOM In RIVER TRAFFIC.

A Reaction Against the Railroads Thought
to be Setting In.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
There will be revival of the steamboat
interests inside OF the next year or two. For
many years past the commerce of the coun-
try has been favoring the railroads, and the
railroads have also been highly favored by
legislation. But the present matters
will surely be reaction in the river traffic.
The Legislative assemblies are taking
more interest in the matter now than they
have done for years past. The river inn
provement service is being reModeled, and
is attaining greater degree of perfection.
The commercial world is showing more of a
disposition to favor the river trade, as in
many cases it has been badly treated by the
railroad companies. There will be a decided
change for the better in the river traffic, and
it will begin soon.

There, that is all have to say, and wish
that could say it better"
"Thank vou," said Beatrice, III will.
Why, here we are at home; 1 must 60 and
put Efie to bed"
And here it may be stated that Godfrey 9
advice was not altogether thrown away.
Beatrice did try looking at the question
again, and if Faith did altogether come
back to her at least Hope did, and "the
greatest of these, which is Charity" had
never deserted her. Hope came slowly back,
not by argument probably, but rather by
example. In the sea of doubt she saw an
other buoyed up, if it were but on broken
pieces of the ship. This encouraged her,
Geofrey believed .tand she believed in
Geoffrey, indeed, is not this the secret of
woman's philosophy-even to some extent,
OF that of such a woman as Beatrice? Let
the faith or the unfaith Of this. that or the
other rabbi answer for me-" she says-it is
her last argument. She believes in this or
that, or some other philosopher; that is her
creed. And Geofrey was the person in
whom Beatrice began to believe, all the
more wholly because she had never believed
in any one before. Whatever else she was
to lose, this at least she won when she saved
his life.

Nervous Exhaustion.
New York scottisb-American.1


There is no better prevention of nervous
exhaustion than regular, unhurried muscu-
lar exercise. If we could moderate our
hurry, lessen our weary, and increase our
open air-exercise, a large proportion of nerv-
ous diseases would be abolished. For those
who cannot get sufficient holiday the best
substitute is an occasional day in bed.
Many whose nerves are constantly strained
in their daily avocahon have discovered
this for themselves.

NEW WAY TO KILL RATS.

Coax Them to Eat Plaster of Paris and Then
Give Them Water.
st. James Gazette.
The Laccadive Islands have been attacked
by plague of rats, which destroyed the
cocoanut plantations and reduced the ISL
anders to condition of destitution. It has
been suggested to the Madras Government
that it should deal with the plague by the
plaster of Paris cure. Powdered plaster is
sprinkled on boiled rice. The rats which
eat this become thirsty, and when they drink
the plaster hardens and kills them. This
plan is at least free from the danger to
human life which attends the use of arsenic.

A TREAT FOR THE GAMINS.
Charity That Costs Little, but Makes Many
Little Folks Happy.

Chicago Tribune.1
A Washington street man who controls
cafe has done good thing for the street
gamins The Washington street man has
large trade, and as he has his own pies,
cakes, buns, biscuit, and bread baked every
morning fresh he makes it a rule not 10

nouuced that he would dispose of whatever
was left over every evening at 7:3O o'clock
to the newsboys and newsgirls for a mere
song. II boy has only penny be will be
served bountifully.
There is no scale Of prices. Every fellow
gets something. The boy with basket who
has saved up quarter gets load, enough
to last several days. The sight about the
cafe at the hour mentioned is an interesting
one. Every face beams with satisfaction.
The little newsgirls are treated with DO
liteness by the boys which is charming.
The girls get the frstshow and are never
crowded out of line. The eager crowd sell
dom goes away disappointed.

A rather funny incident occurred on
Sixteenth and Dodge streets YESTERDAY It
was where the motor cars pass, and as q
gentleman alighted the conductor told him
to look out for the other car. The passenger
did not understand him. He turned around
and asked: "What did you sayP" Just
then the other motor struck him and
knocked him about five feet toward the
curbstone on the opposite side of the street
from where he wanted to go. As he got up
and rubbed the bruised spots he was heard
to mutter, 81 wonder what that fool said. T"

ITS MILITARY IMPORTANCE.

Commanding, as it does, the only outlet
from the interior, this New York OF the Car
ibbean coast is of no small consequence,
from military as we'll as q commercial
standpoint, and considerable garrison is
maintained here. Unlike most South
American ports, Baranquilla has an excel
lent wharf. Several steamship companies
are running vessels on the Magdalena, two
of them, I believe, operated by United
States capital. The principal line, however.
is German, with half dozen or more small
steamers, varying from 90 to 200 tons. Dur
ing the last political uphesval all the river
boats were seized by the insurgents and
those not tied up or ordestroyed were metamOr-
phosed into effective men-ofwar by simply
covering their sides with corrugated iron,
mounting small cannon upon the decks and
filling the cabins with sharpshooters.
The great river itself is natural Curl
osity, traversing the whole country from
south to north, draining an enormous area
of mountains covered with perpetual snow
and forming the sole outlet for seven Col
ombian states. Its water is as muddy as
the Missouri and as swift as the Mississippi,
which it greatly resembles. So strong is its
yellow tide and SO full OF sediment that it
will not mix readily with the salt water of
the sea, but can be distinctly traced for
manv miles. In some places IL is scarcely
100 feet wide, In others 8 or 10 miles. Its
