How Young Gambler Was Persuaded

How Young Gambler Was Persuaded
 to Quit While He Was Winner
 T see gambling is running wide open in Colorado again. said Walter Harris, cattleman of Topeka. q don't sup pose, though, it is as wide open now as 1t was in the late sos I was in Mani tou every summer at that time, and the high games that used to run at some of the clubs would be an eye opener to the gabblers of the present day. Cattlemen were making money then, as were the miners and they used to meet in Mani tou and try for each others pocket books with the result that the profess sional gamblers got the money.
 T remember how one young fellow was made to quit winner against chis will. His name was Rich. He was nephew of one of the big reaper men, and his folks kept him supplied with money, a regular allowance. He had been gambling every cent of t, letting bills pile up for hotel and livery and everything else. His people sent word that they wouldn't send any more mon ey, and said if he got into trouble he'd have to get out himself His creditors were just about ready to jump on to him, when one night, he made a big winning He was playing faro in the club that't torn down now.

TRUSTED BY WHITE MEN.

| The Northerner who is forever harp | ing upon the manner In which the negro | is kept down in the South might open his eyes in wonder at the many cases in which negroes have been faithful in their services for many years to their
 employers, and, as reward, hold posi- tione of trust and are esteemed as hon
 est as any man by the white people who
 know them. They are not put on a so- cial equality with white people but
 their station in life is far above that which the northerner sets as the rank of the negro in the south.
 A fair illustration of this is to be had
 in the case of Prince A. Danuel, who for
 twenty-six years has been in the employ of the First National Bank of this city. Danuels secured a pceition with the
 bank in 1874, as porter, and, after prov
 bis efficiency and integrity, was given the work of collecting to do. Never in all the time of his service has he ever failed to account for every cent of mon ey intrusted to him. His collections are always made accurately, in fact, he has yet to make his first mistake in a money transaction.
 In executing his duties at the bank vast sums of money are handled by him, and the money is as safe in his hands as is the meat in the care of a butchers dog
 So well is Danuel thought of by his employers that not long ago the bank gave him trip to the North, his rail- road fare and all travelling expenses to (fhipppp Wa chin and pt thor a cities being refrayed by the bank MT c. w. Schulte, President of the bank, gave him a letter of introduction to all the banks in the cities where he went to. This letter made him welcome visitor wherever he went. He was look ed upon as a kind of wonder, the idea of negro holding a position of trust in the South being before that consider ed out of the question.
 Danuel's face has for long been fa- miliar one in Memphis, as for forty years this has been his home. His first situation was years ago with the Mis- sissippi and Atlantic Steamship Com pany. This company operated q l,ne of steamboatG between New Orleans and St Louis, Danuel was q general all | round man on the company's wharf | boat at Memphis, where he gave the | best satisfaction. His next place was with the firm of Ellerton L. Dorr & Co.,, | cotton buyers. He was with this firm | three years as cotton sampler, Dan- l uel served them well, and, owing to the ] good character this firm gave him, se- cured the position he now fills at the | First National Bank.-Memphis Even~ ing Scimitar.

Educate the Women.

In a ermon recently delivered at
Rome by Bishop Spalding of Peoria,
ILL.,, a Roman Catholic ecclesiast, ne
said: Since it is our duty to educate, it
is Jul duty to give the best education,
and first of all to give the best educa-
ton to woman; for she, as mother, is
the aboriginal God-appointed educator.
What hope is there of genuine prog
ress, in religious life especially, if We
leave her u~neducated? Where woman
is ignorant, man is coarse and sensual,
where her religion is but a superstition
he is sceptical and irreverent. If We
are to have a race of enlightened, no
BILE and brave men, we must give to
woman the best education it is posi-
bic for her to receive. She has the
same right as a man to become all that
she may be, to know whatever may
be known, to do whatever is fair and
just and good. In souls there is no
sex. If we leave half the race in ig-
norance, how shall we hope to lift the
other half into the light of truth and
love?

How the East Enders .Amuse Themselves
In Winfar

How the East Enders Amuse Themselves
in Winter.
E~ast-enders are already preparing
their programmes for spending the
long, cold winter nights, and if life, as
lived in Whitechapel, Shoreditch, Shep-
ney and on the river side, is frequently
hard, AIRY and 'Arriet manage to get
a lot of fun out Of it. The east end
season is just beginning, and the air
is full of challenges from all sorts and
conditions of champions. Billiards are
no class" out Bow way; but a skittle
match is a great event and draws a
full house. Egg-eating, too, is becom-
ing a show card, though it has not yet
displaced the beefsteak pudding con-
tests in popularity, says the London
Express. Then shove h%a'penny, mus
sci opening, oyster opening and had
dock splitting all take the floor in turn
and a struggle between two real cham
pions at these sports" proves a mag
net. They take as much interest in
the issue as many people do in the
Derby. But it is music that does most
delight the soul of AIRY and his donah
and they walk miles to be present at
any sort of musical contest. Nothing
comes amiss and as long as the pro-
gramme is carried out they are salts
fed. A canary singing match is still
worth pounds in custom to a publican,
while "whistlers" are sure of good pat
ronage. The supporters and admirers
of Bill and Tom will spend money
freely to hear their champions taking
part in a mouth organ contest, and it
is wonderful the melody that TWO "ex-
perts' can bring out of a comb. An
ordinary piano or violin isn't in it.
