INCIDENT OF AN OCEAN TRIP

A prominent turfman attending the
winter race meet told a good story the
other evening of an adventure on a
Cunarder, says writer in the New Or

my Introduction to 1t was rather peculiar
At the time / was considerably greener
in the ways OF the wicked world than
EN- at present, and coming across on the
Etruria after a season in London was
fool enough to sit in a four-handed poker
game with three fellows 1 met in the
smoking room Of the ship. The vulner-
able point about q greenhorn who plays
poker is his proud conviction that he
can protect himself against any kind of
work That was my own opinion, and
consequently 1 didn't care copper who
my three acquaintances might be, as
long as I found their society entertain

night here, were plain everyday business
men from Boston. The other was a
small, dark, smooth-shaven chap who
introduced himself by the name of Cum
mings, and said he was q lace buyer for
q firm of importers in New York. We
began playing on the second day out OF
Liverpool and inside Of twenty-four
hours were giving the game pretty near
ly our exclusive attention. The table we
used was in the far corner of the
smoking room and had four stationary
chairs. AS Is customary aboard ship, we
selected our seats at the beginning and
kept them throughout the play. Cum
mings sat with back to the partition

the Kansas saloon snasher, have been
carefully followed by her eminent fell
low citizen, John L. Sullivan, always on
the level. When John isn't entertaining
visitors at his Forty-second street care,
he's reading the nawspapers; for , the
drinking these days. Mrs. Nation, be
cause Of her pugnacity, has particularly
Interested Sullivan, though he does not
approve of her methods.
1.-The woman amt right in her nut?'
was Johns reply to question as TO
what he might think Of her. 'She comes
from some jay town where they amt UP
to date. There's all the booze you want
in Topeka and there always will be-
Say, if this old lady is on the level,
WHY doesn't she go down to Atch1son or
Leavenworth, two hot Kansas towns;
where the saloons is wide open and
there's a lot of tough fellers hangin'
around? She's wise, see! Why, they
throw her in the river if she got gay

why, I just say to her:
See here, madame. this place is in
sured and if you break pane Of glass
on breaking the place UP, put her out,
hatchet and all, and when Sullivan puts
anybody out O. here, she goes, see? OF
course, we all know that Kansas is a

up the gin mills, but If she tries 1t in
New York here she'll take some rough
rides in the patrol wagon.
There's something the matter with her
head! That's all there Is to it. You can
bet all the coin in the land that I'm right.
When q woman so far forgets that she's
a lady and goes to smashing Up saloons
with an axe she's fit for quiet place up
in the country where she can't do any
harm. Temperance is q good thing to
preach and sometimes IT'S a good thing
for those who preach it. Maybe Mrs.
Nation is after a graft of some kind like
the rest of us. It's hard life and
moneys tight when you haven't got any
and need it,"

and during all the. long week tzat he
passed in the mine he slept but little
Toward the last he was in daze. He
had no idea of time or distance. His
only thought was to keep moving so as
to avoid the rats AT last, in grasptng
and cropping almlessly about, he felt the
underground trolley. He knew then that
he was safe BY following the wire he
could escape Providentially the current
was not on owing to the labor troubles
Had 1t been on tLhds story of Shinel
would not have been written. for he
would have been killed when he touched
the wire. He stumbled along, one hand
on the trolley wire until he fell into
the arms of john Nartorisky.
me rest was blank to him until he
awoke with Helene bending over him,
teIi1ng him she loved him and begging
MIN TO open his eyes and look into hers.
AND NOW THEY'RE TO MARRY.
When it is remembered that the gases
or q mine are enough to kill any one who
remains underground more than a day,
the escape of Joe Shinel is marvellous
aside from the fact that for seven days
and seven nights he was without food or
water, was bruised and bleeding and was
forever pursued by rats and with the
natural terrors that follow entombment
in a cavern in the earth
Good care and the loving attentions of
his sweetheart have transformed the
brought out of the mine on Jan. 20 into
the same sturdy, bright-eyed man of
former days. The fact that he is not
white-haired or crazed by his experiences
is due perhaps to his patient, stolid,
phlegmatic temperament Crowds of his
countrymen have flocked to hear him re-
late his experiences. He accepts his sud
den prominence as he accepts all the
turns Of life plainly and as a matter of
course. That he was entombed so long
does not seem to him to be possible. All
that he can clearly recall Is the fearful
enawing for food, the craving for wa
ter and the fixed determination not to
permit himself to sink down and rest
until all hope Of rescue was gone.
Within three weeks Joe and Helene are
to be married. The wedding will be
made the occasion of a great gathering.
From all the mining camps In the Scran-
ton district the beaus and the lassies will
assemble to wish long life and prosperity
to the young couple to whom happiness
came out of what was almost a tragedy.

Remain quietly at home and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as di-

follow. That remedy cOunteracts any
tendency of the grip to result in pneu-
