A WIFE AS A MASCOT.
The Arts of Woman Against the
 Skill of Gambler.
How 8 Mexican Cattieman Recovered His Money in Q Losing Game of Monte and Cleaned Out
 the Dealer.

"It was in the state of Sinaloa, In Mexico, where I was In the employ of m American dealer as 0 collector of bird skins," said Thorn Lougee, tax idermist, to the New York Sun man, "that saw the charms of lovely wom- an exerted in rivalry to a gamblers skill, and they won, as they always should. was staying at the time in little city called Tuxatapan, and l strolled Into the principal gambling place one evening to watch the players at monte. There was single large low room, with @ bar at one end and tables ranged about the wall for gam bling. The place was lighted by cam dies, and was half-flled with Mexican charroe, with here and there an Ameri- can mining man or some native visitor from the capital city in London-made clothes.
 .Playing was slack, except at one ta- ble. where a Mexican cattleman from up-country, In full charro costume of sombrero with silver braid, jacket, wide pantaloops with row of big sil- yer disks running down the outer sides Y hia belt, was dropping his money at monte. The dealer sat at the center of the kidney-shaped table, with high heaps of silver dollars at his elbow, while the players sat round the outer circumference. The cattleman was sharp and watchful, so that the dealer had no opportunity to do tricks, but the regular odds of the game caused the stranger to lose slowly, until, with an exclamation, he announced himself broke and rose from his seat.
 "sBut l have three hundred dollars 1t tho hotel,' he said; If you care to welt, Twill go for 1t, and perhaps leave that with you
 At the senor's pleasure responded tho dealer, showing his white teeth in m affable smile beneath his black mus tache.
 ssThe cattleman went out and the Rame went 1anguidly on until in ten minutes he returned carrying in his hand q bag of Mexican dollars. He was accompanied by his wife, q pretty little dnrk-eyed Spanish creature, in lowered silk ball dress and mantilla. At light of her the dealer instantly oprap& up to offer her seat, but she coquettish1y declined the attention and, aanntexing carelessly along, jumped rpdn en unoccupied end of the table SIfh me leg curled under her and the xk6f. displaying daintily booted foot, M1nxing toward the floor.

where 1 stood 1 could see that her eyes were dividing the attention of the dealer, who perceptibly was losing in- terest in the game and displaying less of the dexterity that in the begin ming had characterized his handling of the cards.
 AsAt last the ranch1nan was winning, and the canvas bag in which he had brought his three hundred dollars stake was full to overfowing and triple rows of dollar stacks lay at his right hand. All other play was suspended as the spectators crowded about the table to watch with breathless excitement the game, which now was running as high as one hundred dollars on the turn of a card. The conversation in the room was decorous, and none present failed in due manifestation of respect to the presence of the pretty little dark wom- an perched on the table, who was well known in Tuxatapan as the wife of the gaming caba1lero with the ivory-han- dled revo1vers. From my position near the wall, 0 little in the rear of the ta- ble. I noticed that as in her intense in terest in the game she leaned toward the dealer her mantilla upon the side next him was slipping from her shoul- der, which-she being of Spanish nativ- ity-was very charming piece of liv- ing statuary. Mechanically the dealer lifted from between his feet bag from which he counted out two hundred dol lars to pay the cattleman's last win ming. Without word the latter added this to his stake already on the table, making four hundred dollars to be lost or won. As the dealer shufled the cards the mantilla fell from her head and shoulder, and she gathered it about her with q half-startled, half-coquettish look of dismay as he turned the decid- ing card without looking at it.
 "sI will againp said the ranehman, and he began to pile the dollars again on the cards.
 "The dealer reached down to the can i vas bag and emptied it in counting out four hundred dollars. Then he passed 1 the bag across the table to his opp ponent.
 "'The game is endedl The bank is broke Let me congratulate the senor on his good fortune, he said, smiling but behind the smile was the silent anger of a man who realized how he had been defeated, but must hold his peace.
 i "Without word the cattleman swept the silver dollars on the table into the bag end passed it to wild looking vaquero who was standing be- hind him. Ten dollars he passed to the bartender to be expended in treating tho crowd. The little woman, her eyes dancing with triumph, hoped down from the table, and then, with her lean ing affectionately on his arm, the cat tleman bowed to the dealer and the spectators, said: 'Buenos nocIes, sen ors,' and passed out of the room into the street, followed by his cowboy at tendant, carrying the two canvas bags in which were over fifteen hundred .1 .17

 the fact that the shape, size and color of the ear differs more widely in indi- viduals than any other organ of the human body, says the Albany Times Union, they are probably more alike on the same head than any other of tho twin organs. If one ear is delicate in shade, the other will be the same; if one looks like a dried fig or a conch shell, the other is likewise so. With the eyes, however, matters are differ ent. One eye is nearly always more open than it's friend over the bridge,i while in many cases people, while ap7 parently looking with both eyes, only use one, and makers of firearms, in making guns to order, carefully allow for the right or left sightedness of the sportsman for whom they eater. Broad ly speaking, women are more often left sighted than men, and, when they do happen to be right sighted they arc so in less degree than the sterner sex.
 The reason why the left shoulder is frequently further from mother earth than the right lies in the fact that while writing most men rest the left elbow on the table, while in the case of porters loads are carried on the right shoulder. With an able-bodied man there is very little difference in the length of the limbs, but the hands and feet are usually widely different in the matter of size. The right hand is the bigger, while, curiously enough, the left foot covers the greater amount of ground.
 Ladies have certain unreasoning sense of satisfaction when they say that they wear fves in gloves, because, if this is fact, then the human hand has grown smaller within the last twen- ty or thirty years, which state of affairs, however, may be questioned when the g1ovemalzers tell their story. Gloves are all marked half a size smaller than they really ought to be, which is the fatal result of the habit in which the ladies indulge of almost invariably ask ing for gloves Q size smaller than they can comfortably wear. The left leg is better developed than the other male car rier, on account of the fact that we stand habitually on the left foot, and mount a bicycle or Q horse and kick man while balancing on the left leg Most men jump chiefly off the left leg. Lateral curvature of tho spine occurs more ire euent1y to the left than to the right, in dicating that the body in sitting is thrown more to the left than to right This leads to the remark that nothing is more injurious, for tho young es- pecially, than to sit for any length of time in one position.

WAS CLEVELAND FALSE?

From tine Chicago Times-Herald.
1t will be remembered that not many
months before Secretary Gresham broke
down, not to recover. Don M. Dickinson,
member of the presidents cabinet during
his first administration, and always re-
puted to be his closest personal friend In
politics, delivered u speech, In which. In
effect, he savagely attacked the foreign
policy OF the state department. HIS call
for more vigorous conduct or lnterna-
tional questions was so loud. SO well for
titled and so wide in its scope that II COM
PEELED general attention. by some II was
accepted as an indication that a large Sec
tion of the presidents party were weary
of the bungling at Hawaii and OF failure
on the part of the administration to up
hold, morally and physically, the fair
name and real strength of this country.
Once more Mr. Dickinson has appeared
as the apparent critic Of the administra-
ton. He wants more direcct and erect
ual course in relation to Cuba. What
gives the Cuban ideas Of Mr.. Dickinson
gravity Is Mr.. Dickinson's explanation OF
the real motive of his assault on the state
department while Secretary Gresham was
at its head. Mr. Dickinson. according to
with the presidents knowledge and ap-
proval. That Is to say, Grover Cleveland
president of the United States, entered
into an intrigue with man Of his own
party but not In his cabinet to assail In
public a man who was in his cabinet his
own subordinate. Walter Q. Gresham.
-:-:-
1t is scarcely possible that Mr.. Dickin-
son realizes the baseness of the position In
which his assertion places President
Cleveland. 1t was in his power at any
time to ask for Mr. Gresham's resigna-
tion. Was he afraid to do SO? In personal
and political cowardice did he condescend
to conspire against the peace and honor
of one Of his own official family? II Sec
retary Gresham knew Of the intrigue
against him. with the president. his chief,
as its inspirer. 1t is not strange that, har-
ried by congress, Knocked for the mlser-
able blundering at Honolulu. surrounded

them personal strangers to him. he sick
ened and died. official mortality of Mr..
striking. Mr. Dickinson himself having
had one term Of intimate official connec-
tion with the strong personality In the
white house. could not be persuaded to
have a second.
Since. according to Mr.. Dickinson, the
assault on Greshams management of the
state department was with the presidents s
knowledge and approval, Secretary Olney
may we'll be pardoned for raising his eye
brows when he reads Mr.. Dickinson'a 9
opinions about the duty Of the United
cidence that. just when Mr.. Dickinson's s
voice calls for help for Cuba, 1t Is given
out that Mr.. Cleveland and Secretary OIL
ney are about to take some step In recog-
milton Of universal American opinion on
the subject. For President Cleveland's
inson will modify his apparent accusation
Of treachery by Mr. Cleveland to Walter
O. Gresham, who sacrificed all his ambi-
tion for Mr.. Cleveland's benefit.

The War on the Mormons

The public censuring by the three head
officials of the Mormon church of two
candidates on the Democratic ticket in
Utah, because they had not obtained
the church's sanction OF their candi-
dacy, has very quickly aroused the
Gentle population of Utah to a reali-
cation Of the dangers Of statehood when
coupled with ecclesiastical dlotation.
The proceeding is entirely natural, and
in keeping with the Mormon church's
past policy and traditions. The Utah
Of today is in large measure a creation
OF that church, and It Is hardly to be ex-
pected that sway which, only little
while ago. was absolute in affairs tenn
poral no less than spiritual, would be
utterly relaxed in a few months.
At the same time 1t is readily con-
ceivable how distasteful to the Gentle
element in Utah would be the effort Of
this hierarchy to interfere openly with
the personnel and policy Of the ex-
pected state government. While 1t
fairly deserves to be said that Presi-
dent Woodruff and his two counselors,
George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith.

diced Gentle mind as II the so-called in

and In the end Mormonism will be de-

We must, by the way. confess to a

mon people as a whole. Their tenet OF
polygamy. even they now concede, was
morally wrong. although at the moment
of Its PRONUNCIATION a social necessity

lated in the brain OF Brigham Young.
In no other way could the handful or
colonists who founded the new Eden

forrael by the Mormons in Utah. But
