THE BANK WON THE BETS.
Yet When tho Game Was Closed the Bank
err Was Broke.

..#-.E Eae.HNIH
sold Duke Dodge was a fairly sudden
man; kept pretty well up with tho process
sions,' said an old timer. "Heturned fare
bank or whatever was thu handiest way at
the time to make a living, so it wasn't
manual labor. One day I met Old Duke
at Rock Island as I was coming back from
Iowa.
"'Got any money, SOM said Duke. He
always called me son.
"'About $780, I replied.
Lend 1t to me, and I'll open a game
for 'em here said Duke. This town is a
sucker in the lump, and it's crazy to play
faro bank
$50 old Duke made up a bank roll OF
$500. He had cards and a deal box and
easily improvised a layout and was ready
for action. For chips he went over to u
dry goods store and bought q box of those
wooden button nlolds that they make over
coat buttons with.
"Then old Duke Dodge turned loose.
The natives came a-running, and the way
they set in against the game reminded you
of q lot of turkeys around a peck of corn.
"The bank won from the jump, and
Duke was chuckling. AS nearly as you
could guess the game was $500 ahead at
the end Of al hour.
All at once Duke noticed an awful
thing. He called my attention to it. This
was the horrible phenomenon: While the
bank had won every big bet-for Duke
was a mighty careful dealer-and two
thirds of the others, and while he had, as
he found on counting up, full twice as
many button molds as Duke ever did buy
to begin with, there was still over $500
worth of button molds in the hands of the
Rock Island populace olamoring for &C.
tion. 1t was worse than q miracle; it was
q robbery.
"And Duke had to make 'em good; had
to cash every button mold of 'em. 1t broke
him fiat, but the town would have killed
him if he'd renigged. There the game
had won for an hour, and yet he was a
bankrupt when he got through settling.
"Those thieves had simply gone over to
the same store Duke did and bought out
the balance of the stock of button molds
and stood EN- against the game. They
even tried to play a stack Of pants buttons
on the ace open-one man debut Duke
saw it in time and barred pants buttons.
"'If I'd gone on and won another hour,
son. said Duke to me as we walked down
the railroad track after the game, I'd
owed 81, 900. It's fortunate my luck
wasn't any better. "-Washington Post.

A Woman's Bargain.

"It takes q woman to whittle expendi-
lures down to a fine point and figure out Il
bargain remarked a booky man to a
writer recently. 81 was looking at some
new books in Il Of the shops last Mon
day, and just behind me was stacked over
1000 popular novels, put III to sell cheap.
Each tier was placarded Three cents each,
-four for a dime and the tiers reached to
the ceiling.
"Two ladies were looking at the books,
both we'll gowned and rather above the
average in appearance. They We're evil
IDENTIFY strangers, for I heard one say to the
other, Are you going to take a book,
madam why, yes, 1 thought I would
was the surprised reply. Il want some
thing to read on the cars. I think I will
enjoy rereading "David Copperfield,' so l
have selected that. Have you got 9
cents?' was the next question. IL think
So was the rather slow response, the tone
Of surprise %deepened. Just let me have
it,, said the other as I turned around to
see If there wasn't some kind of fliinliam
game going on. Here to the clerk she
had beckoned, d o"David Copperfield'' up
In n package and these three in another,
and here's your 10 cents. Hurry! This
lady has to catch her train!'
"The girl was back in a jiffy, and before
any of us could figure it out the lady had
showed David Copperdeld' in the hands
of the traveller and taken possession of her
own three books. There, she said, with
q satisfied smile, you get your book for 2
cents and I get my three for 8 cents. You
have saved a penny and SO have 1. Save
the pennies and the pounds will take care
of themselves And she went off laugh
Ing. I'll bet it would have taken a mai IL
week to figure that out, and I am not
quite sure that I have 1t right yet!''-

NIGHT.
! the still and sweet Of the night.
Oh, the Weakening out Of dreams

N the still and sweet Of the night,
Oh, the Weakening out of dreams
Ere ever a line Of light
Through the gate of the morning streamsl
With never a roof above
That the sweep of our joyance mars,
Only the sky and the love
OF the b%rotherly infinite starsl
In the still and sweet Of the night,
Oh, the voicing of wondrous things
From the Druid frs on the height
And the lips of the lowland spring;
From the sibylline tongues that tell
II truths that the ages teach,
Loosed from the day 8 deep spell
Into soft, articulate speechi
In the still and sweet Of the night,
Oh, the sense of soul release
From the passions and pains that blight
In the dewy balms Of peacei
b brooding rapture Of rest
Free from the fret and feud,
Close to the earth's warm breast
In her loving mother mood. r

EUGENE LOST HER WAGER.
Boxed the Ears of . Royal Guard, but h,
Did Not Move. III

Boxed tho Ears of . Royal Guard, but He
Did Not Move.
Nothing could be more magnificent than
the appearance of everything appertaining
to the court on all public occasions. The
balls, especially in the various splendid
rooms, particularly In the immense "Salle
des Marechaux, " were a sight not to be
forgotten, from the f1rse entrance and as
cent by the great staircase, adorned with
flowers and shrubs, where on zach step
stood two of the 'cent-gardes'' (the en-
peror's bodyguard) as motionless as stat
ues. Nothing was more remarkable thar
the drill which enabled these men, on all
occasions when on duty at the palace, to
remain without moving q muscle. The
fatigue of this immobility is said to be so
great that it could not be endured beyond
q certain time, but it was so complete that
to come suddenly on one of these guards
In the palace was positively startling. 1t
was scarcely possible to believe that they
were alive. They were all remarkably fine
men, subofficers chosen out of various regi-
ments, and when the war came they proved
that they were not merely parade soldiers,
for they figured among the best and BRAY
est troops.
One day the little prince, when a young
child, in the hope of making the sentinel
move, poured a whole bag of sweets into
his boot, but without eliciting any sign of
life from the military statue before him.
This play Of the child being mentioned in
the presence Of Colonel Verify, who com
manded the regiment, he declared that
nothing could make one Of his men move
when on duty. The empress would not
believe this assertion and finally laid a
wager that she would contrive to make
one Of the guards move. Colonel Verly
having accepted the wager, the empress
went with him into the neighboring gal
lery, where they walked backward and
forward before the sentinel, the empress
trying by every means to attract his atten-
ton. The guard stood as if turned into
stone. Colonel Verify smiled. The en-
press, with her characteristic impetuosity,
then went straight up to the soldier, and,
according to familiar speech, "boxed his
ears" Not a muscle moved. The empress
then acknowledged that Colonel Verify had
won the day and sent a handsome com
%pensation to the soldier, who proudly re-
fused it, saying that. he was sufficiently
compensated by having had his sovereign
lady's hand on his cheek !-''Life In the
Tuileries Under the Second Empire, +" by
Anna L. Bicknell, in Century.

The proprietor of a factory on the South
Side has a son who has had about every
thing there was going-a college education
with a degree, all the fun to be had on a
liberal allowance and a European tour.
When he got back, he told his father he
wanted to settle down and get "and SON.

proprietor brought him to the foreman,
saying, SCOT anything for this young man

"All right; put him at that. I want to
give him a chance for the sake of his
mother. II he's any good, he'll work up. .
In two years the young man had worked
up to be manager and Junior partner, and
the proprietor began to have his turn at a
good time.-Chicago Tribune.

Barbaric Dancing.

The queerest foe the women missionaries
have ever encountered is the dancing habit
in the Gilbert islands. The climate is salu-
brious, but warm, SO that the natives
dance by night and sleep during the day.
The exercise provokes great hunger and
thirst, SO that gorging and excessive
drinking are the result. The adults neg
lect and desert their work, the children
their schools and everybody the churches.
A dancing spell often lasts several months
at q time. Both missionaries and mer-
chants try to stop the practice, but this
far with but little success. 1t seems to be
9 relic Of some forgotten heather faith or
fetichism.-New York Mail and Express.

Rainy Day Petticoat.

1t Is advisable that one should have one
petticoat to be used exclusively for walk
ing, and this may be faced some distance
from the bottom with a waterproof cloth.
There will then be almost perfect protec-
tion for the feet and ankles in wet wealth
er. It is the swishing Of damp clothes
about the feet that constitutes most Of the
discomfort of q rainy day expedition, and
the waterproof lining does away with this.
