OLD "JIM CROW.n
How Rice Introduced This Unique Char
acter to the Stage.

Low Rice introduced This Unique Char
acter to the Stage.
In the early twentics Thomas Dart
mouth Rice first entered upon his theat-
rical career by doing little negro bits"
between the acts of plays, says tho
writer i'll tho Boston Herald. While in
Louisville the theater Mt which he per-
formed looked ont back upon an old
stable yard around which there was
constantly lounging an old, decrepit
slave named Jim Grow, who was so
frightfully deformcd as to appear inhU-
man. His left shoulder sloped off from
the neck i'll way that would Indicate
that the bone had been inverted His
lower limbs We're dreadfully distorted,
the left knee being huge bony knot
larger than his head, which caused him
to move about with a pitiful, vet ludi-
crous, hobble.
This forlorn darliy was in the habit
of grooming a queer old tune, and desig-
mated the close of each verso by taking
peculiar step rociln dc heel - Rice
closely watched this unconscious per-
former, and conceived the idea of pro-
ducing similar stage character, which,
he felt assured, would take" wonder
fully. Accordingly, he made up precise
~ as the original and appeared upon n
Louisville stage singing score of hu-
morous verses to tho air-slightly
changed and quickened-of the poor,
wretched cripple. The audience received
this innovation with bursts of applause.

An Impossible Sacrifice.

a Hungarian paper says that Francis
Deak, the Hungarian statesman, used
to get rid of troublesome visitors by
telling them the following story: "Once,
when i'll Paris, Napoleon and paid a
visit to a hospital for old soldiers. Hero
he perceived among the rest u man who
had lost one of his arms, and he entered
into conversation with him. where did
you lose your arm?' asked the emperor.
AT Austerlitz, your majesty Then
no doubt you curse the emperor and
your country every time you look at
your mutilated limb?' No indeed, pro-
tested the veteran, for the emperor and
my native land would readily sacrifice
my other arm if needs be. L can hardly
believe that the emperor remarked
and passed ON. But tho soldier, anxious
to prove that he was in earnest, imme-
dlately drew saber from its sheath and
Topped off his other arm.
Here Deak would pause and fix IL
penetrating look on his visitor. "Well,
what havo you to say of such a man
and such an action?'' GA most sublime
act of self sacrifice! A truly noble char
acter!' This was the style of reply in
varlably given. But the story has one
flaw" he would gravely add "What
Is that, pray?" cit is simply imprac-
tlcable. How could one armed man
contrlve to cut off his only remaining
arm?''

a straight flush i'll tho great Ameri-
can game of draw poker is such rarity
that the person holding it is regarded as
one of the most fortunate and blessed of
mortals. Devotees of that game will
peruse the following story with incredu-
hty, but its absolute authenticity can
be verified by Mt least ten thoroughly
reliable witnesses: A party of four play
ers entered place not thousand miles
from Summit one night not long ago
and prepared to enjoy few hours Of
recreation ut their favorite game. An
other game in progress at the time was
full, so the four players were obliged to
start at an adjoining table.
The lack pot" came around each of
the four players filled in, and the game
proceeded The cards, regulation pack,
52 cards, were cut by the player to the
right Of the dealer and dealt out in the
regular manner. The first player to the
left of the dealer opened the lack pot, "
and each succeeding player in turn
raised. The limit was 10 cents, and the
players are usually light bettors, SO
that the raising and lively chipping in
surprise. When tho dealer prepared to
serve the cards for the draw, each of the
players stood "pat, and the betting
again started.
When each of the players had chippod
in $40, it was decided to stop the bet
ting, rs that amount had never before
been wagered OF Il game in the place,
and none of the players could afford to
risk greater amount. Whom the hands
were shown, some of tho players almost
succumbcd to heart disease, for there
lay four straight flushes, ono of each
suit and all running from four to eight
Tho pot was divided, and the cards
were carefully put away i'll case to DO
