The Painters Device.

Raphael, the great Italian painter,
whose celebrated biblical pictures are
worth fabulous sums of money was not
a rich man when young, and encountered
some Of the viclssitudes Of life like many
another genius, says Spare Moments.
Once, when travelling, he put up at an
inn and remained there, unable TO get
away through lack of funds to settle his
bill. The landlord grew suspicious that
such was the case, and his requests for
a settlement grew more and more press
ing. Finally, young Raphael. in despera-
ton, resorted to the following device:
He carefully painted upon a table in his
room number of gold coins, and, placing
the table in a certain light that gave a
startling effect, he packed his few belong
ings and summoned his host.

wave of his hand toward the table lis

The inn keeper, with many bows and
smiles, ushered his guest out, and then
hastened back to gather up his gold. His

wealthy English traveller, recognizing the
value of the art put In the work, gladly

You have lost six bets and won only

three minutes to play each turn at roulette
It is certain one can win 60 francs every
hour by this system. II Is quite simple,
and the only rule to follow Is, every time
you win bet you cancel two sets of fig
ures In the martlngale column, and every
time you lose you write one In ID. When
