What That Man Says Goes!''
From the New York Press.


"4is word was his bank account was
the remark of the counsel of a bookmaker,
of the best sort as bookmakers go, who
gamblers call "a crooked game" but was
not, on a recent occasion.
Recognizing as we must, the existence
of the sporting fraternity" it is inter
esting to realize the ethical standards by
which they gauge themselve. A gambler
Of the highest class must be absolutely
a man of his word. He is always well
dressed, because he never fails to have
credit at his tailors He can always
borrow money, because ne always pays
his debts of honor He can always play
at table, because within twenty-four
hours he must make good his losses !; and
he always makes them good.
There is no class of business men who
live so entirely and Contidingly on. the
basis of personal integrity as sporting
men, so called, who are absolutely outside
the pale of good society and commercial
responsibility.
Gene Case, the gambler, who died of
paralysis the other day, was rare ex-
ample of this class. No man knew him
who did not absolutely accept his word of
honor. No man ever saw him without
money or the means of getting it, and
his wardrobe was always immaculate.
Bad as the business of these men is, and
impossible to condOne, they show at
least in remarkable degree the unpar-
alleled value of personal honesty. what
that man says goes" is perhaps as high a
compliment as can be paid any man,
whatever the direction of his energies.

Double Nationality.

History supplies great many cases In
which men have changed their nationality
very suddenly in order to serve personal
purposes, but no case is recorded, perhaps,
where one has changed so often as a Ger.
tam railroad conductor who serves on q
line connecting France and Germany,
This functionary changes his nationality
twice day.
An American traveller who was riding
on the train between Basle and Belfort re.
lates that, shortly after passing out OF
Swiss into German territory, he had occa,
sion to ask the chief of the train some uues
tion about the journey, and put the in.
quiry in French.
'Nein, nein" said the conductor
"Spreechen Sic Deutschl" (No, no, speak
Germany
The American asked his question in the
best German he could muster and receiv
ed an answer in that language.
Before long the train had traversed the
narrow belt of German territory and enter
ed France The traveller again had occasion
to make an inquiry and this time address
ed the same conductor in German.
Monsieur" said the chief of the train
politely, "ie ne parle que Francais." &
speak nothing but French.)
As the man had to retrace his steps ant
become German again before he went tt
bed, his changes, it is plain, came much
oftener than those of the famous vicar Of
Bray, who changed his religion half {
dozen times under as many governments
Because" as he explained, "he was re
solved, no matter who was king, to live
and die the vicar of Bray"

"When his brother Francis came back
this month, he thought all would be
