AN INTRICATE SYSTEM.
The cuts which accompany this article will
give some idea OF the machinery which is used
in the power house to run the cable road.
Taken "a a whole cable plant is rather intri-
cate and when the construction of the conduit
through which the cables run and their COM
plement of wheels considered, then
il is not surprising that the engineers pro-
pose to find out whether the entire
system will work wnen the steam is turned on.
In fact it has been tested by piecemeal. For sev-
eral days past fires have been kept up in the
furnace to discover if they all right, if the
stoker engines will work, &c. Then the move
ment Of the great engine and the wheels has
been tested. The cables are in place, but be-
fore cars were run over the line grip attached
TO a car drawn by horse made the entire cir
cult.
REPLACING HORSE POWER BY CABLE.
The substitution of the cable for the
horse cars will be carried on slowly, so that an
opportunity will be given to the gripmen to be-
come acquainted with the road. There are
more difficulties in the running of cars over this

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1892-12-23


Hermann, the magician, once met his
match and thus pleasantly tells how an
innocent-looking young man cleverly
outwitted him:
We were ut q private room in hotel
one evening, and there / met some
friends, and was introduced to simple
looking youth Of the dude persuasion,
whose face was as vacant in expression
as n pound Of putty. This youth had
been Dragging of his powers as a poker
player, and had made the others so
tired that they whispered me to take
the concet out Of him for the fun there
was in it. l was ready, and we sat
down. Well, when we began the games
allowed the youngster to win, in or
der to get him interested, and, the bet
ter to enjoy the circus, the other
dropped ont, and my victim and had
the table to ourselves. OF course I
was to give him back whatever 1 won
from him, that was understood. We
made the game quarter ante and q
dollar limit, 80 that we could use
money without making any awkward
change. Every time my callow friend
won pot, he put the silver and bills in
his pocket, and would chip in the money
as he needed it. After he had won a
respectable pile, L began to get my
work in, and, by handling and dealing
the cards in my own peculiar way, I
soon had his pile considerably dimiu-
ished. Occasionally 1 would let him
win, just to keep the fun up; and I
don't know but what 1 enjoyed my op-
ponent's innocence as much as did my
friends. But all things must have an
end. Finally cleaned him out, much
to his surprise and then my friends
could not keep it in any longer.
Il say, old man, said one, "do you
know with whom you've been playing"
"Yes, replied my victim, calmly
" Hermann, the magician and he's a
good player"
This was somewhat of surprise all
around. But l laughed and handed
him back the money l had won. He
wouldn't take it. No, sir. Said 1 had
won it; had he won mine, he would

Zeal Merit.

In the characteristic of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and it is manifested every
day in the remarkable cures this
medicine accomplishes. Druggists
say: When we sell bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla to new customer we are
sure to see him back in a few weeks
after more,-proving that the good re,
suits from trial bottle warrants con-
tinuing lis use. This positive merit
Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses by virtue
of the Peculiar Combination, Pro
portion and Process used in its prepa,
ration, and by which all the remedial
value of the ingredients used is re-
tanned. Hoods Sarsaparilla is thus
Peculiar to Itself and absolutely un-
equalled in its power as blood
purifier, and as tonic for building up
the weak and weary, and giving nerve
strength.
