MORPHINE BEAT THE GAME.
II Made n Young Gambler Quit While
He Was winner.

II Made Young Gambler Quit While
He Was n winner.
IL see gambling is running wide open In
Colorado again." said a cattleman Of
Topeka. II don't suppose, though, IL Is
as wide open now as it was in the late
eighties. | was in Manitou every sum-
mer at that time, and the high games
that used TO run at some of the clubs
would be an eye opener TO the gamblers
| Of the present day. Cattlemen were max
| ing money then, as were the miners, and
they used to meet in Manitou and try for
each others pocketbooks, with the result
that the professional gamblers got the
money.
~ remember how one young fellow was
made TO quit n winner against his 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 gam
bling every cent Of it, letting bills pile up
for hotel and livery and everything else
His people sent word that they wouldn't
send any more money and said il he got
into trouble he'd have 10 get out himself.
His creditors were just about ready to
jump on TO him. when one night he made
big winning. He was playing faro in
the club that's torn down now. 1t used
to stand over from the depot and was the
place for high play.
Il suppose he had $4,000 or 5000 in
front Of him when his friends began try
ing to persuade him to quit. He was just
like all the rest of Them going to break
the bank and all that sort Of thing, and
he wouldn't quit
1T was n red hot night for Manitou
and with the excitement and all Rich had
pulled off his coat and rolled up his
sleeves. There was a doctor among his
friends, and though he hadn't said any
| thing to Rich, suppose he felt respon-
sibility, because the young fellow had
come out here for his health and had
been referred to the Manitou doctor by
the doctor he had at home.
81 was watching the play, though |
didn't know any of the people. | saw the
doctor turn his back to the crowd for a
minute and fiddle with something he had
taken out of his pocket. Then he walked
over to Rich and put his hand on his bare
arm. You need a scdative,' he snid.
Quick as a fash he took the hypOdermic
syringe he had in his hand and fired n
charge into Rich's arm.
"Rich said ouch and grabbed at the
place where he had been pricked, but the
deal was going on, and be turned to that
again. Before half the cards were out,
his head settled on the table, he com
menced to draw good long breaths and
was asleep.
'The doctor took the chips, cashed
them in, then took and wrote receipt
for the money and gave it to another
friend of Rich's to keep. Then he took
Rich, loaded him into a carriage, took
him up to his office and watched over him
until he came around the next day. Rich
paid his bills, but he did no more gam
bling in Manitou. They wouldn't let him
play again. Denver Republican.

A MOTHERS KISS.

When but child if e'cr came 10 harm
Perhaps twas but a scratch upon my arm
I'd run TO mother, and she'd always say,
'Tll kiss it; then the pain will go away"
An, every time il seemed to me that, though
The mark remained, it never hurt me so!
Her loving kisses did for me more good
Than any kind Of ointment ever could.
Long years have passed. may be childish yet
That youthful fancy | cannot forget,
For to my aching head it's soothing now
To have those dear lips pressed upon my brow.
For remember how since long ago
She's clasped me in her loving arms and, lol
seem a child again and hear her say,
"rn kiss 1t; then the pain will 60 away"

DEBT PAID AT LAST.
But II Wns Under Queer Circum-
stances and After Many Years.

During the occupation of New Or
leans by the Federals," said an old citizen
in story telling mood, II made the ac-
Quaintancc of very agreeable Massa-
chusetts man who was not in the army,
but who was an intimate friend Of Cen
eral Butler. One day he hunted me up
and asked without much preface for q
loan Of $500 couldn't well spare the
money, but through motives of policy
let him have it, lie went away, promis-
Ing to return the amount within certain
time, and, as anticipated, | heard moth
ing further from him. Now, under ordi-
nary circumstances, continued the old
citizen, 5000 was not sum | was apt
to forget. but had regarded the loan as
lost from the outset. and in the troublous
times that followed the incident passed
out Of my mind.
'For over n dozen years don't believe

about-1 forget the exact date-I had oc-
casiOn to go to Boston and while walking
along fremont street was suddenly ac-
costed by well dressed, middle aged
man whose face was wholly strange to
me. Isn't this Mr.. So-and-so Of New Or

hand. Yes replied. cautiously, for that

said. who has just tried to rope me in.
You'd better take care OF him. All right

We'll, sir, il was true, and You never
saw two such sheepish looking fellows as

other man laughed until he got tired and
then recalled to my mind the episode of
the 5000 loan. after which he wrote me n

The Meaning of Admire.

Many Englishmen have said that the
phrase 81 admire" with the meaning 81
wonder" is vulgar Americanism," but
The Boston Journal notes the fact that in
letter written by Londoner to Joshua
Barnes in 1862 the sentence occurs, IL
admire you should take clerk for a law
term, which is nothing but 'clericus,' 4"
and the Buffalo Commercial adds that
admire" in the sense OF "to like very
nuch'-"I should admire TO go"-has
been used in New England, and it is thus
lsed today. John Pickering in 1916 said,
1T is never thus used by the English"
He was mistaken. The word has been
used commonly in Leicestershire and
Northamptonshire-"Ah should admoire
20 see 'er weel took to" Il should be de-
lighted TO see her well scolded), 81 should
admire TO 60 to London to see the queen"

ELKIN SHOWS
STALWART GAINS
An Estimate Giving the Big Lead
of Regular Republicans.
QUAY TO MEET THE VOTERS,
Beaver Statesman on Returning
From Maine VIII Go Into the
Counties aud Canvass For Re-elec-
tion to the United states senate.
lSneclnl Correspondence.D }

Harrisburg, Aug. l4.-Since the de-
parture of Col. NJ. S. Quay on a trip
10 Maine a persistent effort has been
made by the insurgents and Democrats
in Pennsylvania politics to create the
| impression that the Beaver statesman
has decided to retire from politics. All
sorts of reports have been put into
circulation to the effect that the in
! surgents have made great gains and
| are in position to influence the selec-
| ton of the candidate for United States
senator. Lists of figures purporting to
represent the relative strength of the
regulars aud the insurgents have been
published in insurgent papers and
other matter has been given publicity
with the idea of misleading the Repub-
lican voters in the counties yet to nom
mate members of the legislature.
FORMER CHAIRMAN ELK1N
SPEAKS.
Former State Chairman John p.
Elkin. who is in a position to get exact
information on the political situation,
has given a complete refutation of the
insurgent statements, and in an inter-
view for publication he has had this
to say:
Estimates and tables of figures pro-
claimed by insurgent newspapers on
the senatorial situation lack convinc-
ing force because no details are given.
l have just looked over the estimate
published in the Philadelphia Press in
an issue of recent date, and find it so
wide of the mark that do not appre-
bend il was intended to he either reli-
able or accurate. If the opposition
newspapers want to be fair with the
public in this matter 1t would be an
easy task to make up list Of counties
in alphabetical order, showing upon
what facts their claims are based The
estimates thus far made public are as
mysterious and misleading as the
cipher dispatches of Chinese diplomats.
There are a few things which may be
taken as fixed facts in this controversy.
In the first place Senator Quay is
candidate and will remain in the field
until his successor is elected. Before
leaving for Maine he informed his
friends that upon his return he would
make a tour of the state in the fall
campaign on the senatorial and other
public questions. II is his intention TO
carry this vexed senatorial question to
the forum of the people. where he will
meet his adversaries and give the elec-
tors of the state the opportunity Of de-
Gliding l.: In my judgment a decided
majority of the voters in the state are
in favor of re-electing Senator Quay
for the United States senate. There
has been so much Misrepresentation
about the partisan and factional COM
plexion Of the incoming legislature
that a plain statement of the exact
situation may prove of interest The
list of counties below show those in
which primaries have already been
held. those in which primaries have
not been held together with the re-
suits. so far as known.
This is a table showing counties
in which members Of the house have
been nominated:

WIFI WORK WITH HANNA.


Gen. Roeder has been invited to visit
New York and confer with the leaders
of the Republican national committee
In reference to the work of the cam
paign, as il is desired that the chair
man Of the various state committees
shall he in touch with the national
committee and work in harmony with
Chairman Hanna.
The speech Of acceptance from
Bryan. in which he made Imperialism
almost the only issue. made an impress
sion upon the conservative element of
the Democracy and the Republican
leaders fear that unless there shall be
a renewal Of the agitation on the silver
question. this speech from Bryan will
have the effect of sending sons OF the
sound money Democrats back into line
with the national democracy. II Is be-
lieved that this speech was prepared
with the sole purpose OF misleading
the gold Democrats of the east and
getting them TO give their support to
Democratic candidates for congress.
Bryan has the confidence of the silver
ties Of the west and the northwest. and
they know that he will he true to their
interests no matter what he may deem
polite TO say in any of his campaign
speeches With the knowledge that the
silverites are for him, Bryan diplo-
matcally made his speech Of accept
ance on imperialism. with the idea Of
getting the sound money Democrats of
the east working in sympathy with the
Democratic organization The Demo-
cratic silverites Of Pennsylvania are
now boasting that Bryan's Indian
spolis speech will bring back into the
Democratic party many OF the sound
money advocates and That they will be
serviceable in helping to elect Demo-
cratic candidates for congress and the
Democrats and insurgents who will be

settled by Republican votes In the
house. The only hope left for the in
surgents is to join hands with the
Democrats In November and elect
Democratic members in counties where
they think such tactics will win. This.
of course, will be done. but the lead of
the regulars is too great 10 he over
come. This is Republican year, and
fusion with free silver Democrats is
not palatable to sound money Republi-
cans. The fusion movement is falling
fiat all over the state. The masses of
Republican voters are becoming very
tired of being made the tail to the
Democratic kite, flying free silver and
insurgent streamers. The allied forces
In the Republican party will win
against the mad designs OF the Boxer
element within its own ranks and the
wild vagaries of the Bryan Democracy
outside.
