On this occasion Judge James Barrett:
was Mrs. Dewey's guest at a tea party.
The judge, usually most courtly, had
drank his cup of tea.
Mother, said young Dewey" Judge

"Oh, judge" cried Mrs. Dewey,
let me give you some tea. y
Madam, | thank you, answered
the Judge, "but / will have no more

"But these cups are so small. " in.
sisted the hostess.
MADAM, said the Judge, bowling,
II am not responsible for the size of
your teacups.
The judge wanted II. ore tea, but he
was too punctilious to ask for second

The Dewey family has always kept
up its ancient style. Mrs. Dewey drove

The Deweys are Episcopalians, and
George and his brothers Charles and
Edward were brought up in the fear Of
God. But the influence of parental
training was not at all times strong
enough to keep George from making
life burden to his schoolteachers, and
sometimes, as consequence to himself.

not meet his fathers wishes. So they
came to kind Of compromise. The

to the Norwich university at North

training in pacing deck, for one form

FORTUNES LOST BY GAMBLERS
Millions that Change Hands on tn.
 Turn of Card

Turn of a Card.
 Benson, the jubilee plunger, thought 1t worth while to write or have vritter for him book telling how. in 1887 he spent and gambled away a fortune of f25O,O00. Yet BenSon's was by m means a record; indeed, if list of the biggest losses in single year by gam. blers were compiled it would be found that Benson would not be in the first hundred.
 The famous Lady Castlemaine was one of the most notorious gamblers of her day. Pepys, in his amusing diary, tells us that in single night her losses amounted to over f25, 5000, and that, too, In a time, be 1t remembered, when money had two or three times Its pres ent purchasing power.
 Nell Gwynne, actress and court fa- vorite, beggared herself times over and over again at the gaming table. Her contemporary, the Duchess of Mazarin, niece of the famous cardinal of>that name, raised in many days large sums or money, always to lose them in the card room.
 Charles James Fox, as we'll as being great statesman, was a notorious gambler. He lost enormous sums, and managed to get through several for tunes. His own estate and fortune passed out of his hands very early, and then Lord Holland paid for him f14O,- GOO to rid him of his debts.
 Fortunes that came to him afterward by marriage were similarly gambled away in the gambling clubs of St. James and Pail Mall. Fox always took his beating like a man; he was the coolest gambler of a gambling age, and watched the turR-up of a card on which thousands depended with an apparent stoic indifference.
 The clubs at the end of the last cen tury were hotbeds of gambling. Lord Stavordale lost 1000 at one sitting at Almack's one night, and was rising to go when the winner offered to throw him the dice for double or quits; Lord Stavordale did so and won.
 At the Cocoa Tree, famous club in its day, there was in 17SO one famous evening, of which the records are still preserved, when sum of E1SO,OOO de- pended on single hazard.
 AS an instance of the enormous sums lost even early In this century, 1t may be stated that the club known as Crock ford's was started in 1927 by a fish, monger of that name; by keeping hazard bank he retired in 1S4O, twice over a millionaire To come to more recent times, the late Lord Waterford lost on the turf, and by his eccentric wagers, immense sums. | the precise amount of which it would be impossible to set down.

By chance spider fell into the cup, and for this reason the bever- age was given to dog, who immediate ly upon taking 1t died.
