The Most Dismal Experience In the
Hotel Mans Life.

From the New York Sun.
Washington. IF ever an optimlst lived
the late John Chamberlin was one; and
yet he had to swim through his hours of
disgust the same as men Of less cheerful
temperament. He often said that the most
dismal experience of his life was a single
round OF a two-handed poker game that
he played back in 1873 with Kentuckian
Of national fame at that time.
1t was after a dinner at Chamberlln's
hotel one winter evening. Besides Cham
berlin and the KentuclSian, Roscoe Conk-
ling and member OF Hayes cabinet had
helped TO make away with the dinner.
After II had been eaten the four adjourned
to Chamberlln's private smoking room TO
enjoy their coffee and cigars. They all
felt pretty we'll, the only natural feeling
for the proper kind Of man after eating
his share OF a Chamberlin dinner. They
sat around Chamberlin's famous lacquered
card table purchased for him In Japan
by Cen Grant,, EARNING and dawdling for
while. The Kentucklan, fumbling
among the recesses OF the card table, got
hold Of pack OF cards In a celluloid case.
and. after laziiy toying with IL. said he:

IAN right" replied Chamberlln, "for

That's my game" said the Kentuck-
Ian, and both men put a hundred-dollar
bin IN the center OF the table. They ar
ranged that II should be a plain case OF
Jacks or better TO open. The kentuckian
shook the cards out OF the case. shufled
them. and, at a nod from Chamberln,
dealt the hand. Conkling and the cabinet
officer stood looking on with their hands
IN their pockets.
Chamberlain picked up his cards one By

learned the game OF poker at an age
when most boys are just mastering shin

that his face certainly flushed when he

II here for the benefit of the thousands or
Americans who will read this little book
let.
The story runs this way: 1t was at the
time of the crucihxion Of the Savior.
Cruel and hard hearted men had nailed
Him to the cross and then Knocked His
sufferings There seemed to be no touch
Of pity or mercy i'm any heart. 1t was
then that the Robin Red Breast earned
their badge of honor.
Filled with pity for this innocent suffer
er for the sin OF others, the robins circled
about His head and finally, alghting on
the cross, endeavored vainly with their
little beaks to draw the cruel nails from
the Savior's blood stained palms. In this
futile effort the robins were stained with
blood and ever since they have worn this
red stain as a badge of honor.
NEEDLESS MEN.
The beautiful little story about the
Robin Red Breasts illustrates how, too
often. even the beasts Of the fields and
the birds OF the air have more sympathy
Tor suffering than a great many men. This
IS as true to-day as II was nearly two
Thousand years ago.
Many men are hard-hearted-many more
are just thoughtless. They are careless
and Indifferent in the presence OF suffer-
ing, even when the sufferers are near and
dear to them.
