The Sick Man Had Only Swallowed

HIN! Have you been taking any
thing for your %trouble?' inquired the
village doctor of a patient from out be-
yond S%quantum Corners. who com
planned of being all run down.

WON WITHOUT BETTING.
The Luck of a Man Who Happened to
Stroll Into a Louisville Pool-Room.

A good story Is told about Oliver p.
Lucas. who died while holding the po-
sition of secretary of the board of alder
men. and Bob Cathcart. a horseman
who was widely known and who had
many friends in Louisville, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal. Cathcart
was interested in a poolroom here and
was selling pools on a big race one day
when Lucas came in. The two were
we'll acquainted and Lucas nodded his
head as a salutation or greeting when
he caught Cathcart's eye. If he noticed
it. he attached no significance to the
fact that Cathcart Immediately cried;
sold for $40 Lucas passed out of
the oom and some days later an at
tache of the pool room meeting Lucas
asked him why he did not come and get
the pool he had won. Still ignorant Of
the fact, and thinking some jest was
intended, Lucas fourished his hand
carelessly and replied:
ooh. / don't need it. I've got plenty
of money"
A day or two passed and Lucas re-
ceived a second inquiry about the
money. BY this time his curiosity was
excited and he asked a friend to so to
the pool room and find out what all
that talk was about, This friend speed
lily learned that Cathcart had accepted
Lucas nod as a bid. knocked down the
pool to him. and. as is often lone yet
where the bidders are known. simply
slipped a ticket in the box. The horse
that the pool vas old on won the race
and there vas something oyer $500
awaiting Lucas. When told the cir
cumstances Lucas said TO his friend II
hardly know whether to take that
none or not. / never bid on the old
plug and never thought of such a thing.
/ never heard of the horse before" This
friend told him he had just
as we'll take the money. for
some one would have bought
the pool for a dollar or two less, and
Catheart was not a loser, as the COM
mission money was all he was looking
for. Lucas allowed the money to re-
main there for nearly a week and then
told some n about the pool room to
bet 1925 of 1t on some race. He lost his
bet and hen collected what was left Of
winnings on a wager which he had
never made.

Boston women wlthdrew to weep.

1t is a tribute to Mr.. Irving's genius
that when he acted THE Story Of Wa
terloo" the other day so great was the
emotion that men wept and women
tainted, says an exchange. We recall
one performance Of Mr.. Irving's dur
ing his first visit to this country. when
he was playing Charles L." hat the
same thing happened in the Boston
theater. So bitterly did some women
weep that they withdrew to the dress
ing room Of the theater and had hys-
terics all by themselves, which shows
how much genuine feeling had been ex-
cited by that great and doleful inter-
probation Of a king.

PAYS FOR HIS PASSES.
A Lawyer Buys Seats at the Theater

by the Month.
Newspaper readers have often been
told how vain young men will spend
IS in jollying a Snowman in order to OBJ
tain a pass to the theater worth not
TO exceed 81 at retail. There is no doubt
that the pass habit represents a strange
in~fatuation, says Buffalo Inquirer.
There is a lawyer in this city who is
not satisfied with being the recipient of
passes. He likes to issue them him
self. He considers hat it adds to his
Importance to be able to write for a
friend an order for a couple of theater
seats which will be honored at the box
office. So he has an arrangement with
one of the play houses by which he may
write as many passes as he pleases over
his own signature. The orders are TAX
en- up at the office and the regular tick
cts issued in their place. The gratified
recipient gains the impression that the
lawyer is a stockholder in the theater
In reality. he pays for the seats at reg
ular rates, a bill being rendered to him
monthly. 1t is a harmless fad, though
rather an expensive one.

CLOSING rRICEs OF BOSTON STOCKS.
