Things Oiiener Thought Than Said

Our streets seem to be converted
into a jockey yard OCCASIONALLY
You had better lose a good vote
than win with bad one.
The losing of dozen good eggs
is preferable to eating one "bad One."
Let us move the jocSey yard out
Of town and be respectable.
If every good man in the county
will vote an honest ticket We will
have good officers.
Wonder why a poor drunkard Is
arrested for cursing on the streets
while the impudent, foul>mOuthed,
we'll dressed fellow is laughed at?
Politicians are queer fellows. They
hug YOU so nearly t. death during
election DAYS that they can scarcely
recognize you "between times"
Common folks have = hard time
nowadays. What with book agents,
gasconades, drummers, patent med
icine men, insurance agents, cigarette
smokers and-the Lord help US!
Candidates! The wonder is that
we live at ali. The man who passes
through all this unrufh-d 10 a-well,
Of such ia the kingdom of heaven.
Won sometimes hear 1t said of men.
i know he is immoral aud untitled
rur AN flee, but you can't beat Aim.
! In other words hoodlum-, igunrsmus-
rs and bIatherskites rule the rink. %
/ That ls quite a confession, Surely
respectable people can unite on sumo

iecency, ana elect Nun.

The precautions which have been

home several detectives ON bicycles ac-
companied the carriage, surrounding it
on all sides The French police are also
making practical use Of detective cam
eras- They shadowed two suspicious
characters who were selling securities to
money changers in Paris, and ON the
way to their lodgings the detectives sue
ceeded in getting a good snap shot at
them They took the plate to headquar-

sponded to those of two expert swim
dlers and returned and arrested them.
They had large amount Of stolen booty.

A San Francisco man has invented @
machine which will do away with type

sion.
The new machine combines the phono-
graph and the typewriter, and in Looks
lears considerable resemblance to a cash
register. On the front Of the machine
are small electric buttons, which You
press before talking into the mouthpiece
projecting from the upper part This
mouthpiece is connected with a revolv-
ing cylinder, which receives impressions
in way similar to the Edison phono-
graph. A travelling needle regulates the
position of the impressions ON the CYL
inder according to the size Of the paper
they are to bo reproduced on.
The filed cylinder is placed ON roll
ers in the lower part of the machine.
Above the rollers is a supply of paper
for receiving the written characters.
There are several mysteries about the
working Of the new invention. No ink

PROFESSIONAL
He Hnd Designs on George Gould's Roll
but Pus Up with Smaller Game.

but Pus Up with Smaller Game.
'HThe Last time went to Europe,
said an editorial friend Of mine, 81
went in very distinguished company.
Among my fellow passengers were
George Gould and family, Widener, FL
kins and Yerkes, the street railway mil
honaires, and don't know how many
more rich men,
ION the second day out there was the
usual drift of fellows of sporting pro-
clivities toward the smoking room, and
very soon several games were going on.
A very gantlemanly person who was
looking ON like myself asked me If i
ever played poker. said, Yes, now
and then, if the stakes were small.
After little further conversation we
found three other men, took n table and
began to play a dollar limit game Some
of them wanted to make tue limit high
er. but was frm, and we kept it down.
We played pretty much all day, and
then again at night without any very
big hands or any gre At variation in luck.
Finally, however, ! struck a big hand,
and so did my gentlemanly friend, who
was indeed quite the most agreeable man
at the table We backed our hands for
all they were worth, and perhaps in
my case for more. for lost The same
thing happened several times, and the
result was that, small as the game was,
1 got up from the table $50 out of pock-
et The next day we played again, but
there was very little life in the game,
and finally we gave it up.
'"The matter had almost passed out OF
my mind when the man who had won
my money came to me one day as we
were nearing the other side and said:
90 i think ought to give that money
back to you
Il don't rec why, said 1. IF 1 had
won your money, l should have taken
it
eyes. but this is different
How different? don't understand
"'Well, the fact is, don't mind
telling you that am a professional
We'll, if had known that, don't
think / would have played with ~
But if you won my money fairly keep
it
d" That's Just it, he said Here is
your money. You are not the sort Of
game am after. l rang IN a cold deck
ON you during deal, and am one Of
the few that can do it
Then he went ON to tell me after ]
had taken the money that he had come
abroad expressly to pluck George Gould
Or one of the street railway magnates,
but had given up the Job. The fact is, >
ne said, rich men nowadays are not
like they used to be. SO soon as n man
gets big pot of money he does all his
gambling in stocks or grain. Sometimes
we get hold Of a sucker that has come
into a fortune by luck, and he is good
game, but that sort is getting scarcer
every day. Don't give me away until
leave the ship. Good day. IN. p.

Ensland,s submarIne Cable System.

The war in Corea has just brought
out prominently the control which
England has over the submarine cable
system Of the world. English COM
panies own lines having 9, length OF
more than 10000 miles, which cost
over e3o, 0Oo, 900 anda produce a revenue
of more than e4,OOO,OOo. The govern
ment has done everything in Its power
to facilitate the laying of these cables
by subvention and patronage, and the
preliminary surveys have been nearly
all made by the naval authorities. In
return the companies are obliged. to
give priority to the dispatches OF the
imperial and colonial governments
over all others, to employ no for
cigners and to allow no wire to be
under the control of foreign govern
ments, and in case of WEI to replace
their servants by government officials
when required.
