A QUEER FARO GAME.

The System Beat the Bank, but
Would Not Do for Earthquakes.
Whenever l see a faro game I am
reminded of q story told on Silver
peg, an old p%rospector. He was a
taciturn man and spent most of his
time prospecting in Sonora and
Arizona. He got his nickname from
the fact that one OF his legs was am.
putated at the knee, necessitating his
wearing a wooden peg, and the addi-
tional fact that he was also prospect
ing for silver. silverpeg had two am
billions in life-one was to strike q
rich silver mine, in which event he
swore he would make himself a silver
leg to replace the wooden one he hob
bled around on; the other vas to
beat at faro by his system. His sys-
TEN was for certain cards to win
clear through and others to lose in the
same manner.
For years silverpeg has spent his
summers in prospecting without find
ing a erich silver mine" On the ad-
vent of winter he would come to town
and endeavor to break the faro banks
with his system. The day the earth
quake occurred he was at Bavispe,
Sonora, and was playing faro. He
was playing his system, and had been
coppering the jack. The jack had lost
three times. Silverpeg was in a happy
mood, as his system was proving a
winning one. He coppered the jack
clear up to the limit, being sure that
his system was right and that the
jack would lose out. But before the
dealer could make a turn the earth
quake came, the walls of the house
shook and the chairs and tables began
to slide over the floor, and the dealers
and players being badly frightened
made a rush for thedoor. When they
got out on the street the shock was
over. The players, after recovering
from their fright, resumed their
places at the table. They had been
SO suddenly surprised by the shock
that they had not gathered up their
checks, which on their return were
apparently just as they had been
placed. The dealer took his seat made
a turn and the jack lost.
The shock had knocked the copper
off Silverpeg's bet, and he had not
noticed it. The dealer took the bet
in and Silverpeg was dumfounded.
He saw what the earthquake had
done. His disgust was intense.
Gathering up his remaining chips he
cashed them in, and, turning to the
players, he said: "Boys, / played
faro, before l learned the Lords
Prayer; l have tackled brace games.
before, but this is the first time I ever
struck a bank where providence stood
in with the house. My system was
all right, and if the Lord had held
back that shock a few deals l would
have broke the bank. can beat the
box, but I can't beat providence. I
will never play faro again; the odds
are too great"
Silverpeg kept his word, and no in
ducement could ever persuade him to
play faro.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

poses, very hard to turn from the
object which he has in view. He has
made the subject of small boat sailing
such a study that he is prepared to
meet every argument against the risks
which spring to the minds ofhis critics,
yet the New York Herald put the case
in a nutshell when it said: 1.-THE fact
that Capt. Andrews car cross the
ocean in a cookie shell merely proves
that small boats are safe when a Capt.
Andrews sails them. Amateurs should
remember this when the wind begins
to sing"
The captain himself says that "half
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that
a boat cannot sink. An iron vessel
might, or a ship loaded with q heavy
cargo, but a row boat, sail boat or
ordinary wooden vessel may capsize,
but will, nevertheless, float. The
passengers on the great ocean steam.
ers run some risk when they go to sea,
but all around the ak they see
wooden boats hung up which they
are taught to depend leir lives if
the big steamer goes ,wn. These
boats are often crushed against the
great vessel or are capsized in lower
ing. l am alone in a wooden boat en-
tirely under my own control, and, in
my opinion, far safer than Others"
An ingenious theory but hardly fair
one. .- d..
Capt. Andrews is by trade q piano
maker. He built the t'Sapolio'' at.
Atlantic City in the presence OF hun
dreds ofpeople, and exhibited it on the
Long Pier for several weeks. 1t is q
canvas folding boat lined with half
inch cedar and decked over with the
In order to fold it there must
be three long canvas hinges from stem
to stern, andthe daring Captain writes
by anincoming ship-when he is hun
.dreds of miles from ~shore-that he
finds the "Sapolio' in a sea-way is q
scrubber but very leaky." No better
proof of his GOODNESS and pluck could
be given. ~

The start was made at 4:3O Wed.
nesday, July Goth, the destination
being Palos, Spain. Capt. Andrews
has instructions to scour the seas un-
Til he discovers that port and the
starting point of Columbus. It is be-
lieved that, sailing in a fourteen foot
boat without 30 much &c a hot cup Of
coffe to vary his diet of biscuits and
canned goods, he will, single-handed,
eclipse the record of that Spanish
Italian adventurer who almost failed
to cross the great ocean, with three
ships, $50 men, after securing the
Queens jewels to pawn and having
the blessing of the church thrown in.
This Columbus is sailing in a boat
which had never been in the water un-
til the hour when he started on his
1000 mile trip. He had been spoken
in mid-ocean several times, scorning
all assistance and confident OF ul-
innate success.
His effort should interest all
Americans as a test Of pluck, en-
durance and good seamanship. That
it is not q foolhardy affair is proved
by his former success and by the
notable trip in which he battled for
sixty-tYo days without reaching the
other side. Thousands Of people saw
the start, his presence at different
points on the ocean has been noted
by large numbers OF vessels, and his
landing on the other side willn no doubt
be made q matter Of public demon
station and rejoicing. AS he sailed
from the pier he said, "In silky days
will be in Spain" and upto the last
reports he had made better time than
he anticipasso. Every day during the
voyage b bottle will be thrown over
board noting the location and other
information about the trip.

reaching Spain and joining ia the CO

There have been but few men in this
county. perhaps, who have enjoyed the re-
spect and confidence of the community &C.
corded the subject of this notice. For
wears past he has moved in our midst as a
learned and accomplished lawyer, unpre-
tentious in his manner, yet possessing a
personal magnetism that is irresistible
He bears an enviable reputation as public
speaker, and stands distinctively success
full business man. His appointment to the
judgeship was but just tribute to the mer-
its of a distinguished and deserving citizen,
while his discharge of the duties of that
high Office has demonstrated most clearly
his peculiar fitness for executive positions.
Endowed with all the qualifications of
mind and person that go to make up the
high bred gentleman, and possessed of that
refinement of taste and manner which ever
characterizes an accomplished scholar, he
will bring grace and dignity to the bench
of this circuit Nominated by reclamation
by his own party to succeed himself, and
there being no other candidate in the field,
of course, renders his election an assured
thing. Our Republican friends paid him a
fitting compliment in their refusal to make
nomination against him. 1t is matter
of surprise to many, however, that Mr..
Faulkner would consent to give up large
and lucrative law practice, with the politi-
cal prospects before him, to accept a posi-
ton attended by so much labor and respon-
sibility with so few emoluments. The dis
trict will show its appreciation of his sacri-
flee at the polls in November.-Martinsburg
