THEY HAD TO BET.
WITH THEM TWAS THE FASHION,
LIKEWISE A PASSION.

And When One Lost All Did He Quitf
Not a Bit-He Gambled With Money
Tha to Him Would Fall, and Then
He Felt Small.
He entered the restaurant with an
air that said very plainly:
Here | am at home."
He sauntered slowly through the
room until be arrived at a cozy table in
a corner, and there he sat down i'll a
manner that implied his familiarity
with the spot, for he knew just where
to rest his hat and stick and gloves
without any searching. A waiter bus
tied up to him and placed a menu and
offered his attentions in the way wait
ers have, but the man did not seem
gratified by the appearance of the serv-
ant. On the contrary, he fdgeted in his
chair and otherwise displayed all the
symptoms of strong discomfort.
The waiter, however, ventured to
question the patron as to his wishes,
whereupon the gentleman remarked:
"But, you know, you are not my
waiter. I've been coming here every
night, and I've always sat at this same
table, and I've always had the same
waiter. l am quite satisfied with him,
and l would rather have him than some
one who doesn't know the way in which
l like things. There he is over there.
wish you would send him to me-"
The waiter promised to do SO and
went away. But he did not send the
other waiter. The patron waited in
vain, and after a little, seeing the IA
miliar waiter looking in his direction, he
beckoned to him. This, too, was quite
u~navailing. The gentleman began to
lose his temper, and the return of the
first waiter gave him an opportunity to
speak angrily.
"Well, why haven't you sent that
waiter to me?"
"Beg pardon, SIR" was the reply.
HE was busy and couldn't COME"
"He isn't busy now, for there he
stands doing nothing" was the retort.
go and send him here"
The servant departed on his errand
with much reluctance, and with equal
reluctance the other servant approached
the gentleman. When he had at last
arrived, the impatient patron asked
testify:
"What in the world is the matter!
Why don't you wait on me? I've al
ways given you good tips, and I like to
have the same waiter. What is the
meaning of this?"
"Well, SIR" quoth the waiter, "you
see, sir, it's the tips"
"The tips! What do you mean?"
swell, sir, you see, sir, WI was hav-
ing a little game of cards, me and the
waiter who came to wait on you. We
played most all night, and I had awful

BLYKINS A CYNIC.
HE INDUCES IN SNEERS AT PHiLO-
SOPHlCAl PHRASES.

Tells His Wife, When She Tries to
Argue, That She Is In a Sea of
Thought with a Punctured Life
Preserver.
Mr.. Blykins was in a skeptical frame
of mind. He had been sitting glum and
silent for some time. His wife essayed
conversation once or twice, but her eff
forts met with no encouragement. She
realized that his own thoughts were OF
more Importance to him than any which
might be suggested by an outside con-
seriousness and relapsed into silence. She
had some curiosity, but she knew from
experience that the easiest way to have
it satisfied was to wait until his over
charged intellect began a spontaneous
disclosure. This soon occurred.
"They make me weary he exclaim-
ed as he closed with a bang the book
over whose reading he had fallen into
irate reverie.
"Who do, dear?' she inquired disin-
terestedly.
''People. Folks who write things.
These essayists and poets and philos-
ophers who start out to make you think
that if you will only buy their books
and read EN- life will be a path of roses,
with all the thorns neatly shaved off
the stems.
''The book you were just reading was
written by a very wise man, she ven
tured to suggest.
"That' s what you say" he answered
''That's the way they fool the public
and get their publications sold on all
newsstands. This man has a piece
about the value of time. Among other
things he says: Take care of the pre-
cious minutes. They eve will re-
turn"
THAT'S perfectly true" commented
his wife.
"How do you know" he inquired.
because it has been said SO often be-
fore.
THAT explains the whole process.
| Say something short and say it often
enough, and people will take it for
| granted. How does he know the pre-
| cious moments never will return? It's
like that old nonsense to the effect that
| the mill will never grind with the wa
| ter that is past.
"That's perfectly trne, too she an
| swered with conviction.
mo, it amt. What becomes of the
water after the mill is through grinding
with it? The clouds take it up and pour
it down in rain somewhere, 1t flows
through springs and creeks and rivers
and into the ocean, and the clouds take
it up and dropit again. It's constantly
going the rounds. 1t may take Il long
time, but if it's q good, durable mill it'll
keep MP the same old grind with the
same old water.
That's the way nature works. She
uses old material over and owe again,
sometimes in one shape and sometimes
in another. But it there. How do we
know that these are new precious min
utes?
How do we know that they amt
| the same old minutes being worked off
on us again like the water that runs the
mill? They don't care SO long as they
can make it all sound nice and get their
books sold.

they say to the real test you're like a
