WHAT SHE HAD FEARED.
But the Afternoon Drive Did Not Chce
Him After All

Him After ALL
MaeaIlister McIIhenny felt that the ground
was slipping from under him in the emotional
field and he pulled himself together for a
final effort. He chose soft afternoon when
the frost was yielding to the genial rays of
the sun and all nature was in pleasant mood,
as an appropriate time.
And it was an appropriate time, for what is
so delightful as one of thoss December days
which are quite rs rare as day in June.
when earth and sky are IN atture and love
is ladlad with a spoon! ~
Be that as it may. Macallister McIihenny
was supremelY confident, and transferring
half of his weeks salary to a naughty livery
stable keeper he secured a short lease on
horse and buggy and went after the fair OBJ
iect OF his dreams.
For Two hours in that pleasant afternoon
sunshine Maeallister McIlhenny drove
through quiet lanes and along smooth roads.
and he felt that he was driving straight to
glory. but somehow the fair being ar his side
did not seem TO be sharing in his exhiIiration.
Is did not strike him with full force until. they
had started homeward.
"'Im afraid. he said hesitaungly. as they
were nearing the end OF the drive, that the
afternoon has been a disappointment to
you. -

An Old Chinese Wafer Clock.

In another tower. reached by flight OF
rickety stairs, is the water clock that has
measured time for the Cantonese for nearly
600 years. Four copper pots, crusted and
dingy with age, stand raised on steps, each
one above and slightly behind the other. In
the base Of the three upper pots are lips over
which from pinhols outlet the water filing
the top vessel trickles drop by drop. aud pass
ing through each of the first three drips
finally into the fourth, or lowest. Through a
slit in the cover of this vessel is seen gradu-
ated brass scale attached TO a float below,
which rises with the increasing volume of
water. Every twenty-four hours the water
accumulating in the lowest pot is transferred
to the uppermost. and the scale sinks down
with the float. cnly TO rise again with the
hours as the vessel slowly fills up.-''In The

AppIauding an Enemy.

The Countess Brownlow, in her 'Slight
"reminiscences, tells story of the Duke OF
Wellington which is less commonly repeated
than many connected with him. While he
was still Marquis of Wellington he went to
Paris from Toulouse. where he had fought
and won the last battle of the peninsuar war.
He went 10 the opera that first evening,
and though he wore plain clothes and sat in
the back seat of the box. he was almost imme-
diately recognized by some one in the pit,
who cried out ''Yellingtonn'
The name was taken up by others. and at
last the entire pit rose, turned to the box, and
called 'Niye Wellington
Nor would the people be satisfied until he
had stood up and bowed to them. when he
was cheered and applauded again. At the
end of the performance the passage from the
box was found to be crowded with people.
The ladies of the party drew back nervously,
but the duke said; Come alongr' In his
brusque way, and conducted them on. While
they were still in the corridor man in the
crowd was heard TO say to his companion:
but why are you applauding SO much?
He has always beaten US.
This was very true, and the question seemed
a natural one, but the answer was charming:
''Yes. but he has always beaten us like a

sponge-lke, keeping the outside always
moist. This moisture evaporating cools the
vessel and the water it contains, just as one
can feel the GOODNESS that comes from a
breeze on the body when wet with perspi-
ration. In the dry air of the Southwest,
where the Pueblo Indian finds his home,
this evaporation is very great, and the
suit is that the pottery ollas are used by
whites, Indians and Mexicans alike to hold
cool drinking water.
Anyone who has travelled through the
Southwest cannot fail to recollect the old
brownish buff colored ola, with its curious
Indian decorations in cOnVentiOnalized pic

been what Col. Tom Ochltree terms the
large elegant thirst that added to the sup
posed virtues of the ola a water cooler,
but scientists of the National Museum will
tell you that the cooling qualities Of the
porous pottery is quite real as mag
mary. In the better classes of Mexican
houses the Clipped and battered ola in

A HIGH FLYER.
In the Days When the Falls City Was
Wide Open.

Dick Roche, one Of the highest flyers
Of the old time sporting men, passed
through the city yesterday, accompanied
by Sol Hanley, who is also well known In
sporting circles. says the Louisville Courier
Journal. They were on their way to
French Lick Springs but stopped here
few hours to see old friends. Roche's visit
recalled the balmy days of gambling, and
many were the "reminiscences revived by
the old guard of Lousvlles sports.
Roche was once worth 100000, and lived
like prince, and the absolute Indifference
with which he wagered big sums Of money
was the wonder of the sporting world. He
once put $4,000 in bank and forgot that
he had it, A prominent city official stated
last night that he saw him win $27, 900

stacking chips consists in tossing the
chips-bits of ivory used by gamblers
from the hand letting them turn into the
air and fall on each other, forming col

gamblers acquire, but none could equal
..Dick' Roche. The official who told the
story last night said Roche was sitting
by a faro table carelessly stacking chips,
when a gambler near by noticed him.

"Oh, 1 don't know. I never tried it," said
Roche, with Indifference.
The match was soon made, and he loung-
