MADE HAPPY BY A PENNY.

Snu1flng JAKE Exercises his wonderful
Luck.
New York Press.
He was neither ragged nor dirty ;
merely shabby and a trif1e frowsy
Of hair and beard. He looked like
decent mechanic in hard luck.
But in reality he was "panhand-
ler," known to his confreres as
"Snuffling jake" because OF his
whine.
1t was almost midnight, when
he addressed to a newspaper man
in Park row, the stereotyped ap-
peal for "a few pennies fora
nights lodging" The man flashed
out coin without looking at it.
passed it over and hurried on.
Jake looked at the bit of metal.
Then he snorted in disgust. 1t
was a cent.
"I'll be i'd" he muttered, and
the disappointment only increased
his thirst. He wandered on and
presently came to a gorgeously
lighted barroom. Maybe he might
see a printer in there; printers
had bought drinks for him before.
He went in.
Alas! not a man was against
the bar. The bottles seemed to
bear sardonic grins-they leered at
him. With throat burning like a
furnance he turned away. AS he
was passing out he saw a group of
men about little box in the cor
ner. Idle couriosity led him to
look over their shoulders.
There was an array Of playing
cards in rows OF five inside a glass
case, and when man dropped coin
in slot and pressed a knob the
cards flew around and settled into
new arrangement.
"Confound it! That's fifty cents
I've blown, and the highest I've
got was three kings" said the man
at the knob.
Jake had never played poker.
He lacked even that redeeming
trait. But he saw a sign, "Drop
cent in the SLOT" and, further,
"Three Of a kind, two drinks" He
fished out his penny, elbowed his
way through the scowling group,
saw his coin disappear, put all his
flabby muscle on the pull and
whiz! went the cards. Finally
they ceased whirling.
There was chorus of words of
envy as the men looked from the
pasteboards to Jake and then at
themselves.
"Do 1 win anything" he
whined. "They are all red"
GAIL red? You've got a straight
flushw
ais that worth a drink"
"You blanked chump! Can you
read?"
Jake snuffled and read, straight
flush, twenty-five drinks or CT
CARS"
"Ah how money changes men.
Shutting Jake" had vanished. In
his place there was a Morgan Of
the street-a capitalist. 1t was a
study in tones to hear the patron
izing voice say, Gentlemen, will
you join me?"
And when Jake and others had
drunk all they wanted he wan
dered out into the cold air in a de-
lightiul glow with drink tickets
In every pocket. He was safe
against rainy day.

MUTlNY IN CAMP.
The Conviets at the wrightsvtIie Camp
Refuse to Work.


On receipt of news from the convict
camp at Wrightsville that the convicts
had rebelled and could not be induced
to work. superintendent Z. c. Neon
nell. accompanied by Financial Agent
J. z. Martin, and Messrs. J. Il. Armis-
tead and J. C. Moore left at once for
the camp. They found that 206 con-
victs, under the leadership of dozen
of their fellows, had unwillingly joined
in the mutinv. At that juncture the
convicts had missed their breakfast and
dinner, and hunger had made them
eager to capitulate. Superintendent
Mcconnell ordered them all to file out
and partake Of dinner and they obeyed.
After that they were willing to go to
work. An investigation showed that
three white men were the instigators
of the mutiny. Their grievance was
that they had been punished for falling
to pick cotton properly. Superinteud-
ent Mcconnell ascertained that the
leaders were controlled more by
pure cussedness than by any just com
plant, and he gave orders that the u
who cited the mutiny be whipped. This
was carried out and the trouble was at
an end. The leaders are all hardened
and desperate fellows and pacific meas
ures to reconcile them were deemed fu-
tile. When the convicts were called to
breakfast the dozen leaders succeeded
in preventing the others from leaving
the stockade, although many of the
men were willing to leave and go to
work
