and dismayed and wronged by Fate
since luck had turned at last against
him. Large sums had been lost to
players as memorable as he himself
had been. Large sums had been di-
verted from the government channels
in his charge, some to pay his so-called
debts of honor, some to cover abstrac.
tions from other funds, "robbing Pc
ter to pay Paul." some to silence PEG.
pie who knew too much; some, ay,
most of it, in fact, to cover margins,
and once money gets started on that
grade it slips through ones fingers like
quicksilver. At the very moment when
Arson Bur1eigh's envious cronies were
telling each other he stood far ahead
of the world, the figures were telling
him he stood twenty thousand dollars
behind it, and that, too, when, he was
confronted by two imperative calls for
spot cash, one for ten thousand to
Warrior Gap, another for sum almost
as big to ':stake'' man who never yet
had turned an honest penny, yet held
the quartermaster where he dare not
say so-where indeed he dare not saw
no."
IF you haven't it you know where
you can get it-where you have often
got it before, and where you'd better
get it before it's too late;" these
were words said to him that very
morning, in tones so low that none
but he could hear; yet they were
ringing in his head now like the boom
of some tolling bell Time was when
he had taken government money and
turned it into handsome profit
through the brokers of San Francisco
and Chicago. But, as Mr.. John Oak
hurst remarked: "There's only one
thing certain about luck. and that
is it's bound to change" and change
it had, and left him face to face with
calamity and dishonor. Where was
he to raise the ten thousand dollars
that must be sent to the post quar-
termaster at Warrior Gap? The end
of the fiscal year was close at hand.
He dare not further divert funds from
one appropriation to cover shortages
in another. He could borrow from
the banks, with a good indorser, but
what indorser was there good enough
but John Folsom ?-the last man now
whom he could bear to have suspect
that he was in straits. Folsom: was
reported to be worth two hundred
thousand dollars, and that lovely girl
would inherit half his fortune. There
lived within his circle no man, no
woman in whose esteem Burleigh so
Numbered at the start. Damn that
cub who dared to lecture him on the
evils Of poker! Was boy lieutenant

MISUSE THEIR JEwELRY.
A Dealer Declares That Women ILL.,
Treat Their Rings and
Watches.

Women, certain jeweler declares,
ill-treat their rings to about the same
extent that they do their watches, and
are, therefore,, really fit to possess
neither.
OF course, it doesn't injure ring to
put it on a cold marble slab at night,
nor to drop it occasionally to the brick
pavement, but it does ruin the settings
of the jewels, he says, to have tight
glove pulled on over them. Yet there
is hardly member of the sex, unless
she wears so many finger ornaments
that it's impossible to get glove over
them, who does not subject them to
such severe treatment, and wonders
and mourns when she loses stone she
values.
One young woman always ties her
rings up in the corner of her handker-
chief when she puts on her gloves, and
then tucks her handkerchief up her
sleeve, and she considered this very
good way until she lost the mouchoir
with it's contents of four the other day,
when she began to believe she'd been
little thoughtless with her treasures,
says the Kansas City Journal.
It is said by the porters of sleeping
cars and the matrons of the various
public places, however, that fewer
rings are left now on washstands than
was the case few years ago, and this
is probably because large proportion
of womankind seems to have made it a
rule to keep such ornaments in their
mouths while they battle. their hands.
A woman with mouthful of jewels
isn't beautiful sight, but she's an H.
lustration of certain sort of care, and
it is very refreshing one, when one
considers the number who are forever
having to advertise some valuable mis-
laid through their own carelessness.

Facts About Thibet,

Tibet is larger than France, Ger

population of 100000. It is ruled
over by Dalai Lama, who acknowl-

which is the oldest and strictest sect
of Buddhism. Nearly all Mongolia is

TTAS the burst of patriotism that
caused the women of the fash

other cities in this country to patronize
home industry in the purchase of their
gowns had it's full run?
For many years the ultra-fashionable
set in America have been patrons of the
fashionable costuming establishments
of London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin,
but with the breaking out of the war
with Spain the ladies displayed their
patriotism by purchasing their gowns
at home. Now the trend seems Paris
ward again, and put the above ques-
ton to one of the leading dry goods
trade journal writers-a member of
the staff of the Dry Goods Economist
few days ago, and received this re-
ply:
"America cannot produce the novel;
ties of design either in materials or
completed costume that the American
woman demands. Our American wom-
en- lead the world with their costumes:
they set the styles for Europe as we'll
as America, but their ideas to secure
the best results must be carried out in
Paris, for we lack both the men and
the facilities for doing so in this coun.

"Our facilities for manufacture are
not yet high enough in many interests
to produce materials that will suit the
critical taste of this class of society.
But in addition to a lack of manufac-
turing facilities we lack also the ar
tistic class who have turned their ar
tistic faculties to mercantile art. We
have the artists, but they would rather
put their ideas on unsaleable canvas
than upon saleable dress goods. Yet
the reproduction of artistic designs in
fabric was really the origin of the ma
| jority Of European art centers.
"When we can supply the designs
and have the facilities for manufac-
ture the American woman will buy her
gowns at home rather than go to Paris
