known IN London HS the Marlborough
House set The case just referred TO is
that Of the Hon. Walter llarbord, major of
the Seventh Hussnrs, an intimate friend Of
the prince and n brother Of Lord Suficld,
the favorite lord I'm waiting Of his royal
highncss.
Several years ago he was staying at Nice,
the home If not the cradle Of bgccarat, and
he was naturally elected a member Of the
principal club therc--yhc CJccia de Ia
Medjterranee. In coursp Of time his per
sistent luck became n matter Of comment.
He was vainly made the ohiect of strict sur.
veillnuce, nothing could hfA tected wrong
i'm his play. But one day tkssss raj the Mar.
quis de Gallifet rose from the table ia the
middle of the game and declined to play
any longer without however, saying a
word to or about the man whom every
body suspected
Undeterred by this, Harbord continued
his nefarious operations, but was detected
few days later through the discovery by
the club servants that there were more
mines" than there ought TO have been
among the cards thrown under the table at
the conclusion of each game. The Hon.
Walter had worked his coup by the simple
device Of having few Of his own mines"
in the breast pocket Of his coat.
Very frequently, just as the cards were
dealt, he would take out of his pocket n
note case and place it on the table close to
cards dealt him by the banker, and each
time this was done he concealed mine"
under his case, and played it, substituting
it Of course for one of those dealt to him,
and which he had surreptitiously con-
signed to another pocket.
The price which he paid for this roguery
was iguominious expulsion from the Cercle
de In Mediterranee Mt Nice, expulsion from
all his London and Paris clubs, public
warming" off Newmarket Heath and off
the other English and continental race
courses, and dismissal from the army. He

He Shot the Edito,r.

That Texas ''cowmen" are still sensitive
to newspaper criticism was proven by the
killing of Editor w. A. Bowen, at San
Antonio, a short time ago. Bowen, who
was we'll known as humorous writer,
had criticised man named Alice rather
severely, and the latter shot him on sight
on railroad train. Bowen was native
of Tennessee and wGs educated for the
ministry. There was no malice in his ma
ture, but he thought his obligations to his
employers demanded vitriolic articles. He
had kind. genial nature, and was well
liked by all classes except the gamblers
and "cow thieves" whom he scored un-
mercifully on the slightest provocation.

GOOD FORM.
A Few Items About the Correct Thing in
Invitations, Calls, Etc.


Invitations, Calls, Etc.
According to the best social form, as
stated in The Housekeeper, very young
ladies do not invite guests, especially gen.
tlemen, in their own names If the mother
is not living all invitations should be writ
ten in the fathers name, although an
elderly sister presiding over the house may
issue notes of invitation in her own name.
1t Is not at all a correct thing to invite a
lady to an lat home" until after you have
first called on her in formal manner, and
the visit has been returned
Calls made on reception days where q
guest Is staying are not binding upon ths
guest to return, and no separate card n
left for guest on reception day, al
though each caller leaves a card for the
hostess, to serve as an after call. This
card is also necessary to assist the hostess
In remembering all who have called.
A young lady enters the room at the
right OF her chaperon. In escorting each
other ladies never offer or take the arm.
The host and hostess retain their post of
reception during the whole evening After
brief Interchange of salutations the
guests pass on to give place to others.
Invitations to "at homes" do not require
an answer unless one is requested; in this
case an immediate reply must bo sent. No
such words as "regretS," accepts" etc,
should be written on card; full reply
should be written on sheet of note paper
or on card made for the purpose
half hour is the conventional time for
the guests to remain Mt reception.

Stoves More Common Than Furnaces.

or ever will be supplied, with furnaces
The work of heating must be done with
stoves. They are less expensive, they heat
a single room, while there Is no economy
In furnace unless it is used to heat the
entire house. And then there is some
thing in the homeless, wandering tenant
character of our population that will for
many years insure permanency to an arti-
Gle of furniture that can be moved from
house to house or from room to room
Never in the history Of artificial heating
has the condition of equable temperature
been so near perfection as in the heating
stoves of the present day. And never has
the price, stated in the purchasing power
of money and the labor required to pro-
duce it, been so low.
And as the brazer and stove of the an
clients could at times be used for cooking
the development of this implement took u
twofold direction. While the furnace and
parlor heater provide warmth, the range

Fine as wenS the roasts prepared in the

was the baking done in the old fashioned
Dutch oven, both are equaled or exceeded

The objection to baccarat Is attributable
TO the fact that it Is not game of skill like
whist or ecarte, but game OF chance. like
vingt-et-un, which 1t indeed greatly re-
sembies. 1t Is exceedingly simple. The
stakes are made before the banker deals
the cards. The object Of the game Is to
hold such cards az shall together amount

at random and you will be cOmforted. Ask

reference to Mrs. Bristol in the note.
At Bristol's Office it was learned that
neither he nor the children had been there
during the day. Mrs. Bristol became fran
tic with anxiety when she learned that the
superintendent of the railway had received
note from the missing man rendering his
resignation in peculiar language. 1t was
believed Bristol had become suddenly de-
mented, and great fear arose as to his and
the children's safety. For several days not
trace of them could be found
Eventually Mrs. Bristol discovered that
her husbands fishing tackle, game bags
and rifle were missing from the house. A
number of other small articles had also
disappeared. Then the grief stricken wom-
an remembered that Bristol had been ris-
ing very early for a week or two previously
and going out without saying word, and
that he had also taken his dog away a week
before. 1t was at once surmised that in his
mania Bristol had secretly arranged to go
off on a camping expedition.
This suspicion turned out correct. In q
short time he was located near Sparkhill,
n. Y. He had horse and wagon and tent,
and the boys were having glorious time.
When found he was about to seek another
camping ground, but he returned quietly
home with the friend who was sent after
him. The children were not aware there
was anything wrong with their father.
They hailed his suggestion for a hunting
expedition with great glee, Bristol telling
them their mother could not stand the fa-
tigue of the trip. Bristol kissed his wife
quietly, as though nothing had happened,
on his return home. The family was at
first disposed to believe that though he was
undoubtedly insane he would soon recover,
but he had not been at home more than
three or four days when he left again as
suddenly and mysteriouslya as before. This
time he was speedily discovered, however,
to be at La Plume, Pa, a small place near
Scranton, where he has relatives, and he
was forthwith returned to his home.

Of legitimate enterprise, he speculated in
grain and lost, and ran away to escape the
disgrace. Two or three days afterward a
strange letter was received from an un-
known man, to the effect that Kline was
in Sc. Louis and in almost a penniless con-
dition, and acting rs if he were crazy or
had been drugged. Friends went to st.
Louis to find him, but failed in their
search. AS he had several hundred dol
lars with him'when he left Westboro, it is
feared that he had been robbed and taken
his life in despair. Kline is feet 2 inches
