How He Paid His Partners Gambling
Debt.
81 was reading" said gentleman at
| the Hotel Cadillac, Detroit, t'about the
heavy gambling operations carried on
at western hotels. I'll tell you true
story about one of these games if you
do not use my name. Not that 1 care
so much, but on account of the firm I
am now with.
II was in business at Kansas City and
had splendid young fellow for part
ner.. He would play poker and try to
beat the horses. I often warned him
of the danger of this, but he persisted
1t was near Christmas time, and one
morning he came into the store and
said: Last night I lost nine hundred
dollars atpoker. l still owe five hundred
dollars to the game and have to-day to
make it good. I am going to ratF- the
money somewhere, and want ,nu to
go and pay it for me as am ne ger 60
ing to enter a gambling-room again
l felt sorry for the young man and af-
ter dinner he handed me five hundred
dollars and l went up to pay it.
"When l entered the room big laugh
went up, and the men, all my personal
friends and the wealthiest in the CITY,
began TO guy me about my partner
Jack Haverly was there, and said that
the young man had sent his old partner
up to beat the game Now, in years
gone by I had played a pretty stiff
game of poker myself, and it nettled
me, though I had not played a game in
years. SO, instead of paying the five
hundred dollars over TO the banker,
l bought five hundred dollars worth of
chips and began to play.
Luck was with me from the first.
and in an hour had Cancelled the five
hundred dollars my partner owed and
1 Was ahead of the game. PLAYED
another hour and cashed in one thou
sand and five hundred dollars, having
won back all of my partners losses of
the preceding night and one Thousand
and one hundred dollars to the good.
| carried back receipt for five hun
dred dollars to him and said nothing
On Christmas day l turned over to him
a check for nine hundred dollars, and
had in my own name one thousand and
| one hundred dollars in the bank.
Il never told him how got the
money, but neither of us have ever
touched card since. Winning two
thousand dollars in two hours is about
as much disgrace to a man as losing
that amount. The gang often invited
me to play after that, but I would
never tempt fortune a second time."-

Mount Hood.

The Pacific northwest as land of
surprising beauty of scenery, grand,
wild and imposing. is rapidly growing
in favor. Of the many features of pecu-
liar interest, Mount Hood is one of the
most prominent in all this magnificent
panorama of the splendors of nature.
Those who journey across continent
to drink in inspiration from the majes-
tic symbols of purity and nobleness in
natures handiwork. are moved to deep.
er admiration and keener interest bv
the strange tales which the Indians,
scattered remnants of the once power
full tribes, still tell to the won
dering tourist. Time was when no
mountain lifted his lofty peak, and
nothing was as we see it now. But a.
day came when mighty ocean waves
broke upon the land; strong winds
surged through the swaying forests:
clouds of primeval darkness enshrouded
the country, and all the earth trembled
and broke in the throes of a mighty
convulsion. Then came the silence of
death, and when the new day was born
it looked down upon a great mountain.
1t was Mount Hood, rearing it's naughty
crest eleven thousand two hundred feet
above the sea.--Chicago Graphic.
He was Sorry for the Horse.
The driver of coal-cart was irving
to back up to the curb the other day,
but it was more than the horse could
| accomplish, and the usual result fol-
lowed. That is, instead of aiding the
horse the driver began abusing him
Among the five or six people who
halted was middle-aged man, who was
little tipsy. He stepped to the front
at once and held up his hand and re.
quested the driver to stop.

nant demand.
"Nozzing, shur-nozzing," was the
reply.

wanted to give me some advice!"

Had each a lovers token
To mark the holiday:
Maud'S was q stately mansion
With towers and spires above:
Mays was diamond necklace
And mine was-Roland's love-
Maud's sutton was banker.
White.halred and stout and old:
And Mays proud patrician
With wealth of lands and gold.
But mine was just toiler
Content with humble part;
He had but this to offer
y-.,z-. A true and loving heart
Maud leads, within her mansion.
An empty life Of show,
And Mays rich jewels cover
A heart that throbs with woe:
But in my heart forever
Love sings her Joyous lays;
She lightens all my burdens
And brightens all my ways
Rare gems and stately mansions
Are but the price OF gold;
But love is God given
And never bought or sold.
1T is the souls glad sunshine:
1t Is the hearts sweet rest;
And, rich or poor. IN loving
We are forever blest.
Then oh, be glad this morning
II such gift is yours,
For gold'oought joys are changeiul
But honest love endures.
Though lowly may your lot be,
In royal state apart
God crowns you when He gives you
The love of heart

The Closing Session.

CINCINNATI, May 2l.-When the con-
ference was called to order to-day, Chair
man PETER of the committee on arrange
ments pathetically showed that he had
received but S36 and expended 1866, in
providing for their wants. A collection
was Immediately taken. The committee
on credentials announced that any dele
gate representing several organizations
could cast only one vote. When the size
of the larger delegations was announced,
there was loud cheering, the figures be-
ing: Indiana 154, Kansas 407, Ohio 317.
The actual total number of delegates re-
ported was 1417. The report was unani-
mously adopted. A terrific uproar was
suddenly caused at this point by Grover
of Wisconsin. Mounting chair in the
very center of the hall and waving his
long arms like a windmill, he started a
harangue in opposition to organizing a
new party at once. Yells of "Sit down."
''Put him out" and similar shouts from
the floor and gallery had no effect. Will
kins of Kansas shrieked from the plat
form, "Arrest him." and while the chair
man pounded wildly with his hammer,
the tall Wisconsin man was
finally hauled down by the
sergeant-at-arms and rammed into a
sitting posture. When order had been
restored, the report of the committee on
permanent organization was heard, Sen
ator PETER being announced as perman-
ent chairman. The report of the com
mittee on order of business elected ap-
plause. When the program outlined
showed place for appointment of mem
bers of the national committee, opposi-
ton was manifested at once to the pro-
position to limit all speeches to five
minutes, but it carried. An attempt to
modify the report SO as to practically
make unit rule, it got the convention in
to a marvellous parliamentary tangle.
Harden, of South Dakota, argued that
the enormous power given the compara-
lively nearby states was grossly unfair
to such communities as California, which
had only two delegates present. The
unit rule was overwhelmingly defeated
on the ground that every one that came
to the convention should have vote and
have it conntcd. 1t was necessary to ap-
ply ths previous question gag before a
vote could be obtained on the report of
the committee ON order of business.
Then the report went through like can
non ball. How the convention did
screech when the vote was announced.
"That means the third party right now" !"
shouted the excited Kansans. I'VE are
going to have another national
committee, don't you see, and that is
what We have been after. We've won

Lumber Yards Burned

MINNEApoLIs May 21.-This morning
engine companies one and twelve of the
ST. Paul fire department were called on
to assist the Minneapolis department.
A fierce fire was raging in the lumber
yards of J. w. Day Il Company, situated
between Twenty-fourth and Twenty
fifth streets, North and River and First
streets. About 100000 feet of lumber
was licked up by the flames involving
a loss OF $4,000. The fire was discov-
cred early by watchman. 1t caught
from spark presumably thrown from
refuse burner of the Ashley Lumber
company's mill. The Day lumber yard
occupies about seventeen acres of groun ]
much of which is made of refuse of
the saw mills, edgings and sawdnst.
Between the yards and mill is high
enbarkment of the Northern Pacific
railroad which crosses the river at this
point. A hotter fire Minneapolis has
not had in years. Tne entire fire depart
ment was called out before $3.50 o'clock.
They we're driven back foot by foot until
the positions had to be abandoned for
good. Two hundred feet away from the
scene of the fire houses were set ablaze
by the intense heat. Bardwell,
Robinson T& tcompany's big planning
mill and factory on the west of
the burning yard were saved
by the merest chance. A line of freight
cars on Bardwell, Robinson e. Co.'s side
track, in the rear of the main building
anG about 100 feet from the edge of J.
DAY & Co.'s yard, were burned, with
their contents. The Bardwell people
will lose about $1,000 or $4,000, mostly
in lath and shingles, which stood near
the freight cars. Their lumber yard,
south of J. w. Day & Co.'s mill, was
saved. The Northern Pacific railroad
bridge was on fire several times during
the morning, and SO intense WAS the heat
that the middle piers were burning on
two occasions. The Northern Pacific
rails to the sonth and west of the burn
ing yard, in several places, were made
red-hot and warped and bent out of
shape. The ties were burnt from under
the rails for yards. j. w. Day & Co.
save, in addition to their mill about one
million feet of lumber which stood in the
northeast corner of their yard, ON the
river bank, beyond the point where the
fire started. Last week j. W. Day e.
Co.'s yard was on fire SIX times, the re-
suit of sparks that escaped from the Ack-
ley smokestack. Following these fires,
J. w. Day, Bardwell & Robinson, Chief
Runge of the fire department and others
went to the Ackley people and requested
that new bonnets be put ON the smoke
stacks. The Ackleys did not comply
with the request and the fire this morn
ing is pointed at as the legitimate result.
The insurance was $4,000. The fire
was under control at o'clock.
