table-gambling, such as roulette and
rouge ct noir, has long ago disappeared
OF course, baccarat, which is to the
European gambler what draw poker is
to the American, is played in the clubs
and in other secluded places, often for
very high stakes. But the laws are
everywhere rigid against public gamb-
ling, and so the Casino people have to
resort to other agencies for amusing the
stranger and tightening his purse.
petits chevaux consists of mechanl-
cal race course, arranged to run by
electricity. Nine horses are placed. Nine
folded numbers are put in an oval cush-
ion passed around at the end OF q long
handle among the players. Each player
takes one of these folded numbers cor
responding to one of the tin horses, when
are likewise numbered from one to nine.
The price varies from one to two francs.
All the tickets disposed of, spring
is touched and off go the horses, dashlng
around and round the track at break
neck speed, but separating as they go.
When the momentum is exhausted, one
horse il found in the Lead He who holds
the number corresponding to this horse
gets the pool. less two portions held
hack for the bank To vary this scheme
of omen and fragrant robbery boats are
sometimes substituted for horses, and
a yacht race takes the place of the horse
race. Thus. man is given the option
of losing his money on water equally
with that of losing it on land. Such
game could never have existed i'll Amer
lea. 1t is too simply, obviously and alb
surdly against the player.
But at last, fat-witted European,
along with the gullible stranger, has
got onto it, as the saying is, and les
petits cheyaux and autour du lac no
longer suffice to lure the unwary. But
even in Europe there is certain pro-
gress. So the Casino people have added
to their old race course layout" an ap-
pendage. or annex, which looks very like
gambling. This is on either side OF the
machine, or table, on which, in bright
gold figures, appear the numerals to cor
respond with the horses. You bet on
one OF these numbers. There are nine
of them. If you win you get hve to
one. II YOU bet on three in bunch you
get even money. In order to show, how
ever. that this is not gambling there
is O limit-from one to FIVE francs, ac-
cording to the wealth and size of the
Casino or Kursaal. / am told that at
the more ambitious Of these, and late
at night, when the heterogeneous crowd
has gone, there is a good deal Of very
steep rolling. But as / never sit up late
at night, / can give no direct testimony
on this point.
1t will be seen at once that the sole
merits of this method of pretending not
to gamble lies in the bold, transparent
robbery which it embodies. 1t is worse
than a mock auction or a church rattle

ELECTRIC BITTERs,

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid. exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need Of tonic and alter

fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will

LINCOLN AND GOVERNOR TOD.

There are numerous anecdotes con-
nected with Lincoln which seem to have
caught something Of grace from that CON
ncction and which can be reproduced in
this place.
One concerns his meetings with Gov.
Tod, of Ohio. Mr.. Lincoln said to him
at one time:
Il never could understand how you
came to spell your name with only one ID.
Now, | married Todd and she spells her
name with two DIS, and | believe sire
knows how to spell. What is your au-
thority for using oneY
well" drawled Gov. Tod, "my au-
thority for it is part the fact that God
spells His name with only one ID, and
it seems l should be satisfied if He is 5"
Lincoln often told this story and it
amused him immensely. Some men have
declared the whole incident was matter
OF his own creation and that the lamented
Ohioan had never made the excellent
reply accredited to him. Whether or not
that is the case, the fact remains that
the conception always seemed vastly en-

A STORY ONWATTERSON.
(From the Chicago Herald.)


"This campaign has lost the services of
the most eloquent, the most froceful and
the most efficient orator in America" re-
marked the Kentucky colonel, through
the absence Of Colonel Henry Waiter
son in Switzerland.
sBut the most eloquent and most force
full address Watterson ever made never
was reported" he continued
Zone night few years ago Colonel
Watterson, Bob Hilliard and a couple of
New York drummers and | were sitting
in a pretty stiff poker game in Louis
Vile hotel. when we were startled by
pistol shot, apparently on the floor above
us. We stopped playing; there was
good deal of excitement about the hotel,
and it was dicovered that stranger
who registered that day from Cincinnati
had committed suicide by blowing out his
brains in his. room.
"After the coroner had taken charge
Of the remains and the rumpus Quoted
down we returned to our game. The
cards had been dealt and we were chip
ping in when one Of the players, who
had been in hard luck all the evening, ex-
claimed jubilantly:
" You fellows will have no show at all
from this time forward. Everything is
coming my way now; I've got the dead
mans mascot" SeeY
"And he fcurished button which he
had cut from the suicides clothes. Gam
blers are VIGOROUSLY superstitious, and
it is believed that a button cut from the
clothing of corpse is a good luck charm.
That fellow had rushed up stairs, and in
the excitement had rolled over the body
and clipped a button off the dead mans
nightshirt before the echo OF the shot
had fairly died away.
Colonel Watterson laid down his
hand, pushed back his chair and arose
from the table. He was white with in
dignation and disgust. 1t was deathly
still in the room and when he spoke every
word was clear as bell. For 10 min
utes he poured forth the most bitterly
vindictive and scathingly denunciative
invectiye that the English language could
frame. Then he turned with an
abrupt Good night and strobe from the
room. Oratorically it was the most pol
ished effort of his life"
