BILE thing that ever occurred in my
experience said Col. George Devoi,
of Forty Years Il Gambler" fame, and
then, after a moments reflection (:
"Prrbahly the strangest episode of
my long and somewhat adventurous
career took place on a Mississippi
steamer. way back in the days when
they we're floating palaces, devoted to
gambling. | was making regular trips

Il had met an odd character at
Memphis at the gambling table, in
Mike Blessings famous house, and
found him to be Il very sl.rewd player.
His skill. or luck, was phenomenal,
and even my "halEess" was Intellectual
against him. At play he always
wore a peculiar pair of snectacles or
goggles. The light. he said, hnrt his
eyes. These goggles projected half an

noticed was that he invariably selected
the man opposite him for his opponent,

others fingered tried the best |

with those goggles.
"Well, we formed a partnership for
a trip to New Orleans and back. My

name was Jacqnes-gOt full OF wine

which caused me to look squarely at

reflection of the cards he held, which
the powerful glasses enabled me to

The Chicago Mter-O Ocean has this to
say about the political situation in New
York:
Governor Hill is not satisfied with
the small Democratic majority in the
New York Legislature. He proposes
to Dust three Republican members and
seat three Democrats in their places,
and to have this done satisfactorily he
will allow the Legislature TO meet, elect
IA Speaker and Clerk, select a commit
tee OH elections, and then take a recess
until the committee is ready to report.
The New York Governor should
change his title to Emperor or Gar.
Governor is 0 mild IL term to express
his powers.
1t is possible that the Inter Ocean
has so soon forgot how Speaker Reed,
not being satisfied with the small Re-
publican majority il the present
House, appointed his committee on
elections and oustea Democrats. The
Inter-Ocean then applauded Reed to
the echo and he was declared to be a
great and pure patriot, but now it
grows sick at the stomach to think
that his methods are to be adopted by
the Democrats Of New York. 1t is
awful rongh is it not to be compelled
to take the medicine that You have
been giving to the other fellow? We
hope. however. that the Democrats of
New York will nos resort to the dirty
work of the fat fraud who occupies the
Speakers chair for the purpose Of in
.creasing their majority III the legisla-
ture. and We do not believe they will.
They have i clear majority Of seven
Or eight, and that is enough t. elect a
United States Senator and shape legis-
lation to their own liking.

Insurance among the married.
THERE ARE TWENTY E TO ONE
WOMAN WITH POLICIES ON THEIR
LIVES.

Although much has been written to
show that married people are healthier
than single people, it is by no means
demonstrated that they are healthier
because they are married. Statistical
tables quoted TO show that married
people live longer than single people
do not prove that the long life is
consequent upon marriage. Such
figures may as we'll be taken to show
that people get married because they
are healthy rather than that they are
healthy and long lived us the result of
marriage. Probably as fair a test as
any is the attitude of the life insurance
companies on the subject.
1t is not true that the life insurance
companies charge any less for married
people than for single people. Nei-
Their is it true that life insurance
companies are more ready to insure
married people than single people.
Tie universal rule is to consider
mainly the physical condition ard
age OF the person to be insured, and
the probability of inherited disease or
shorter life. All these matters are
quite independent of matrimony, and
it often happens that a married man
is rejected while a single man of the
same age is accepted.
AS a matter of fact there are about
twenty men insured to one Woman
Some companies will not insure women
at all. The Equitable charges women
So on a thousand more than men of
the same age. 1t appears hat the
attempt to insure a woman's life is
regarded with suspicion. 1t is said by
experts that women are more secretive
as to their physical ailments. They
do net like to expose their W weak
nesses or their family history.
The result is that the companies
cannotg get as full statements of facts
from women as from men. Some time
agoa woman was insured by one of
the large companies and she died
within IA few months of cancer. If a
man wants to insure his wife's life it
Is looked upon as at least requiring
investigation. One reason why wo-
men lives are not often insured is
probably that there are some perils in
maternity.
Int ruie generally is that u
person can insure the life of another
upon Whom he o she is dependent
1or support, or in The continuance of
Whose life he has an adequate pecuniary
interest, and a wife is always held to
have an insnrahle interest in the life of
her husband. But it seldom happens
that the husband has an insurable
interest in the life of the wife.
For a husband, under other circum-
stances, to insure the life Of his wife
might lead to the supposition that he
expected to profit by her death. Yet
a widow might with propriety insure
her own life for the benefit of her
children. That there are twenty me-
who insure their lives to one woman
is a fact that may well be considered
by some of the wonmn's rights gefor-
mers who say such hard things of the
sterner sex.-New York San.

A Natural Soap Plant.

The prickly pirate of the plains, the
Mexican soar weed, is being converted rap
idly into delicious toilet soap by West
Bottoms manufacturing company The
soap weed since time began, or since the
Kansas prairie was an inland sea, has
thrust it's roots deep in the soil of the un-
sheltered plains and tlourished. There has
been nothing until now to diminish the
supply or exterminate the species. The
hot sun, the baking winds and the dearth
of that moisture which is supposed to be
absolutely necessary to life harmed not
this hardy sentinel of the plains. Wet or
dry, hot or cold its rapierlike blades, sharp
as cambria needle, radiated alike from a
given spot on the surface of the earth.
The root of this weed is now being gath
cred up by men who drive their wagons
over the plains of western Kansas. A sharp
spade is driven down deeply by the side of
the plant, the earth is broken and the
thick, brown root secured. The top, with
its long spines, is thrown aside. Some
times long, sharp tool is required to reach
deep into the ground in order to secure the
greater part of the root. Like the prairie
dog ''it goes down to water" The root
has been known to extend as far as twenty
feet into the soil, but only from two to
three feet of the upper portion, which is
about two inches thick, is worth digging
for. This root is brought by the wagon
load to Kansas City, where a toilet soap
company converts it into soap.
The roots are first washed, then cut up
and boiled out in a big vat, where other in
gradients are also placed. When this is
dried out to such degree that it will
solidify it is nodded into semitransparent
cakes that slip around in the hands de-
lightfully while being used. One of the
most wonderful things about this weed is
that while growing in a region where al
kali pools dot the ground, and where the
soil is white with the chemical, none of it
is found In the root. Many of the poorer
settlers who occupy "dugouts" find the
root in its natural state a panacea for many
ills They cut it into convenient pieces
and use it as cake of toilet soap.-Kansas
City Times.
