THE LOST WAIF.
Strange Midnight Experience of an Express
Messenger n X on:ucky Road.


The night express was laundering out
says the Detroit Free Press. The passen-
gers had made themselves comfortable
and everything seemed suspicious for a
quick and safe run to Nashville. Tenn.
The express messenger busted himself
about his packages, getting his car in
order, after which, having nothing else to
do, he sanntered to the open windows and
looked out at the rising moon. What a
glorious night it was. The full moon
came up from behind the trees and hung
over the tops like ball of fire How
sweet and peaceful everything looked.
The thoughts of the young man went
back to home and mother. Wrapped
in a delightful dream he sank down on
the box nearest to him, but suddenly he
jumped up in alarm, for he had heard a
remarkable souna-a poor faint little
voice crying Papa"
OH what cruel trick for the boys 10
play on him. He must find the little one
at once. He searched every nook aud
corner and looked behind every box, but
no baby was to be found.
What was he to do? He felt certain that
he had heard the voice, and something
must be done. He had il at last He

Remarkable Poker Game Between Tweed
and Black Joe Owens.
ALBANY Exnrpss

and Black Joe Owens.
ALBANY Express.l
There recently died in Chicago an old
negro named Joe Owens. At the time of
his death he was head bellman at the
Leland hotel in that city. Years ago,
when Tweed was in his glory, Joe
was employed in the Delavan in this city.
There used to be some heavy poker play
ing in that hotel during those lively times.
and Tweed's room was generally the head
quarters of the game. Joe was great
favorite with Tweed. as indeed he was
with most of the high rollers" at the
capital. Tweed had Joe made the special
guardian of his room and no one could
ever get in there if Joe said no.
The old darly happened to step into
the apartment one evening when a more
than ordinary big game was in progress.
In front of man named Shepard was a
stack OF chips representing 5000. Joe
was an inveterate poker player himself in
those days, he and the other colored boys
having game going on most OF the time
in their quarters, and when he saw that
great heap OF money his eyes fairly bulged
out of his head.
"Foh de Lawd, but I wish / was in dat
ar game, said Joe, with gasp. A thought
came to Mr.. Shepard. He sent Joe down
stairs on some GRAND, and during his alb
sence a "cold deck" was run i'll and fixed
for the darky's special benefit. When
Joe came back Mr. Shepard asked him to
play a hand or two for him while he went
out. Joe, with his heart beating high,
took the seat and began to play. When
two or three hands had been passed Joe
was startled at getting four aces. lie
trembled ali over; but just then
Mr.. Shepard returned, and, look
ing over his shoulder, said: go for
them, Joe; 60 for them" Joe did go for
them. Every body but Tweed dropped out
OF the game. He kept on raising while
Joe. encouraged by Mr.. Shepard, raised
him every time until the darby had piled
the $1,000 in the center OF the table.
Then Tweed called him, and Joe, his
eyes fairly cleaning with wild excite
ment, threw down bis four aces, while he
reached for the money, saving, what
you got dab, Massa Tweed2"
-Four aces" said the boss coolly laying
them down.
go aces!" cried Joe. $50 aces :"
Fore de Lawd, Massa Tweed, how can
you hab TO aces?"
The gamblers had had their fun and
had seen Joe excited. They were ready to
90 on with their own game, so Shepard
showed 500 bill into Joe's hands and
thrust him out into the hall, saying:
"Get out of here, you black scamp; you
talk about playing poker, and you don't
know there are eight aces in apoker deck
get out"
A hundred dollars at any other time
would have made Joe happy, but, dazed
with the big play he had just been hav-
ing and knocked out by the result, he for
got his wealth in his abiect misery and
