STRANGE POKER TABLE.
What the Conductor Discovered
When He Raped On 1t.

Several betting men were travelling
one day recently from Earlstown to
Willesden Junction in a third class
carriage on the London and Northwest
ern Railway. They passed the time in
a friendly game of poker, the table on
which they played being ostensibly a
large overcoat covering their knees,
says the London Telegraph" AT Will
lesden the collector entered the COM
partment for the tickets, and the gen
NAL crew joked with him as if they had
enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaint-
anceship for years. The one thing
which surprised and startled the con-
ductor was the convulsive movement
of the card table. No bit of mahogany
under the influence of the strongest
medium ever invented could possibly
shake, totter, gulp and gasp more than
did the innocent looking overcoat on
which were displayed the DEVILS book.
Although no spiritualist the conduc-
tor INDUCES in a little table rapping
on his cwn account, and tapped with
such effect that the cards tumbled to
the floor, and from the covering there
emerged the body of man whose
head was resting on one seat and his
feet on the other. He was almost chok-
ing, for while lying crushed up be-
tween the knees of his companions, one
of the lapels of the coat had got into
his throat and the movement which at
tracted the conductors attention were
made in his desperate efforts to get it
out again. The man proved to be John
Webb, who described himself as a COM
mission agent. He was temporarily

Gum Chewing and Widowhood.

Great grief herocially borne always
commands respect, nor does the world
resent any reasonable solace of suffer-
ing. I saw in a railway station recent
ly widow chewing gum! 1t was not
to be denied that the heavy mourning,
the dark Grape veil, the general habili-
mentS of woe, gave certain dignity
to the operation. 1t was the last touch
of hopelessnesS united to vitality. The
low-moving jaws closing upon yield
ing and yet semielastic substance,
which there was no hope of reducing
to a powder or masticating into the
character of food added something to
the pathos of bereavement. To be left
alone in the world chewing gum! There
has been no use made of this in htera-
ture Even the ingenious De Quincy
thought of no such solace for his Lady
of Sorrows. The best the poets could
do before this American invention was
to set their heroines to chewing the
perfectly intangible conception known
as the bitter cud of memory This was
becoming as an attitude, but it had
nothing in it to allay grief. Here is a
new field for investigation. What IS
the underlying philosophy of the habit
this pleasing process to do with the
acknowledged amicable and equable
disposition of the COW? Could she sup
port at the same time the loss of a rela-
tive and the loss of her cud? In finding
a physical origin for all our emotions,
it is certainly to be expected that we
may be on the track of remedies for
the alleviation of many distressing
states of mind and 1 confess that l
have the same sort of hope in the gum
cure that I have in the mind-cure, and
perhaps more in the cure of the mind
by the action of the gums than have
for the cure of gums by the action of
the mind. Certain it is that wide
spread American habit ought to be
turned to some account.-Charles Dud-
ley Warner. in Harper's Magazine.

High-Priced BumbIebees.

Many years ago the farmers of Aus
tralia imported bumblebeeS from Eng
land, and set them free in their clover
fields. Before the arrival of the bees
clover did not flourish in Australia, but
after their coming the farmers had
no more difficulty ON that score
Bumblebees were the only insects
fond of clover nectar which possessed
the prohoscis sufficiently long to reach
to the bottom of the long, tubelike
flowers and at the same time a body
heavy enough to bend down the clover
head, so that the pollen would fall on
the insects back, and thus be carried
off to fertilize other flowers of the same
species. The bumblebees sent to Aus
tralia cost the farmers there about two
shillings each; but they proved to be
worth the price. One enterprising man.
on hearing of the demand for bumble-
bees, bought up some thousands of
them, set sail for Australia and pocket
ed a small fortune over the deal.-An-

She put them together loosely and
then tried to tie them, but again she
pricked her finger.
Hold them. Burt, and I'll tie them
with this string"
In his awkwardness, he broke the
blossom from one stem, and tucking it
into her hair, she laughed merrily at
him.
He thought she never looked so
charming. Her eyes danced, and the
color came and went on her dimpled
cheeks He stared at her as she bent
over the flowers, and when she chided
him for holding them so firm, and had
tied his fingers up with the flowers,
he whispered tenderly:
81 know I'm all thumbs. But how
can I help it? I don't remember ever
having done this before. It's my first
experience"
"Oh, I'm not so sure" she replied
mischieviously, looking into his eyes.
The fragrant air and the gentle rustic
of the breeze in the branches above
seemed to intoxicate him. He dropped
the flowers, and before he knew it he
had seized her head between his two
hands and covered her cheeks with
kisses.
She disengaged herself, more sur
prised than vexed

her hand, ''but I couldn't resist the
temptation" He watched her closely
and as she didn't seem to be very
angry he continued: IT'S no use trying
to conceal it any longer. I love you
and hope you'll forgive me-
Perhaps I hadn't ought to. But Burt

she laughed naively.

That evening as Phyllis and Mrs
Ralston walked to the door to enter
their carriage. Raymond Jagged behind
and whispered to Phyllis:

of you and Papa reading"
| He started to ascend the steps, turned
and threw a kiss, and stood still for a
moment as the heavy front door closed.

he had married Dora Brighton, and
was now the father of a we'll grown
girl He had large interests in a vast
manufacturing enterprise, and resided
in j. fashionable section of Boston.
Wealth, social position, a devoted wife
and an affectionate daughter-all of
these blessings were his. But now he
was an invalid and practically help
less.
Near him sat tail, athletic, dark
complexioned man, Burt Raymond, the
superintendent of his business, who was
making his daily report to his en-
ployer. Mr.. RaIston was fortunate, too,
in having such a trustworthy person
to look after his interests. He realized
his value, and his gratitude was shown
in a dozen ways. He had advanced him
in two years to the highest position,
gave him an excellent salary, and in
sisted upon his living with them.
A peal of roguish laughter echoed
through the hall, and instantly a light
hearted, girlish figure tripped up the
steps, and, drawing the portieres aside,
peeped into the room where her father
and Mr.. Raymond were engaged in
earnest conversation.
Hello, Burt" she said familiarly,
and then addressing herself to her
father, May I come in, papa?"
Come on you little rogue" he an
swered, laughing, cant you leave US
alone for a while? But there, there,
where's your mother?''
"She hasn't returned from the dress
maker yet. I've been trying to rest,
but it's no use. I can't be still, so I
thought I'd come up and plague you
little
well. we are at leisure now, any
way" and, passing the letter which
he had been scanning, he added: "Send
them a check for $50 Burt. 1t will
help to keep the wolf away for a few
days, anyhow" 1t was one of many
appeals which he received for aid.

his side and smothered him with
kisses.

The "Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse" is
more than up to date. Besides her su-
p0rAority in size and her hoped for SUI
pcf4ative speed, she possesses many fea-
lures that will make for comfort, safety
and nnalloyed delight.
Her big dining-room, which takes up
the entire breadth of the ship, In which
$50 persons can dine at once, has mag
nificent. lofty ceiling and handsome gal
leries that suggest great auditorium
en- land rather than anything on ship
board.

from end 10 end, is the finest walk OF
It's sort in the world. In IA laps the

neighborhood of their work. The cap
tain and officers are near the bridge on
the awning deck; the engineers and
firemen on the main and lower decks,
close to the engine room, and so on,
so that none of those who operate the
ship need be, seen by the passengers
in passing between their quarters and
their posts of duty.
The great length of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse will tend to lessen the
tendency TO pitch; there are big bilge
keels at the sides to reduce the rolling
motion as much as possible, and thus il
is hoped the chief provocations to sea-
sickness have been reduced to a mini
mum. Besides, the big engines have
been balanced" by a peculiar system,
so that the up and down motion of the
great masses Of metal contained in the
pistons, piston-rods, cranks and con-
Meeting parts win not be felt.
If all that is hoped for by the builders
and owners of this monster ship comes
