Neat swiHdlingS Il scheme That

III the real inside workings Of the
average bucket shop were laid bare"
said a telegraph operator who has had
much experience In such establish

Inc they can beat the game. Just to
illustrate the point I'll tell you little
story.
"Some time ago there We're two rival
bucket shops in a certain southern
city, supposed to be run by northern
operators. Business was a little slow,
and 1t was evident that the specula-
tive element was inclined to be suspi-
cious Of both establishments. One
day the manager of one of the concerns
hunted up a young fellow who had
more money than brains and, handing
him $50, asked him, as a special favor,
to 60 over to the other house and make
such and such a play. It's a private
speculation Of my own,' he said, and
l have straight tip, but can't very
well place the money myself on ac-
count of my connection with &
Co. If did they'd get suspicious right
away
''rhe young idiot supposed, of course,
that he had struck bonanza-one
bucket shop man playing against an
other! 1t must be sure thing! So he
not only placed the $50 as requested,
but played the tip hard himself, and so
did all his friends, whom he promptly
let into the secret Needless to say,
they were all eventually skinned out OF
every cent they put in. but the remark
able part of the story is that the same
tactics were worked back and forth
by both managers on at least a dozen
different occasions. Each time it was
done they gathered in a lot of new
clients and made big haul. 1t de-
veloped not long afterward that the
two bucket shops were run by the
same people. New Orleans Times

VIOLIN MUSIC.
Its Peculiar and Varied Eject on
Wild Animals,

The violin was used recently with in
teresting results in experiments with
all sorts of living creatures. First it
was played before tarantula. She
paid no attention whatever to it, But
nest of scorpions became intensely
excited and wiggfed frantically.
A cobra showed remarkable suscep.
tibility. She was sleeping soundly
when the experlnentcrs approached
her. hut the first tone awakened her,
anu she raised her head. As the mu-
sic swelled she continued to rise till
she was standing straight as a pillar
supported only by her tail. Every
change in tempo and pitch had effect.
Tie pizZ!cato made her puff her entire
body, swift waltz music caused her to
erect her ugly hood to it's fullest size.
and a sudden dissonance made her
wind and twist her body as if she were
III real agony.
The polar bear tried to dance to the
sounds Of the instrument. At least he
swayed his body rhythmically and
made rumbling sound which portray
ed deep measure. The grizzlies and
the lions moved their paws and the
lions their tails also in time with the
music. 1t happened that string snap
ped. with its peculiar. sharp smack.
Just as the player had begun to per-
form before the cage of a hyena. That
poor animal at once hunched its back
up, drew Its tail between it's legs and
crouched, trembling, in the farthest
corner of the cage. The elephant and
the ostrich were delighted by soft tones
and appeared to suffer true distress
from loud and sharp notes.-New York

but there was in reserve for Burr

of the year 1912 Theodosia Allston
made preparations to visit her father
in New York. Passage was engaged
on the schooner the Patriot for Theo-
dosia. her physician and her maid. and
the lovely woman was radiant with the
expectation of meeting her father with
in the next five or six days. The Pa
triot sailed from Charleston out into
the ocean in Christmas week. and not
vestige of her was ever again seen,
and it is surmised - but nothing is

A change is coming over the spirit
Of the dreams Of the South. A strong
sentiment in favor Of law and order
and opposed to lynchings is being
evolved. The Alabama sheriff who
de6ed a mob Of lynchers and saved
his negro prisoner at the mouth Of his
revolver seems to have set a new pace
for southern opinion. In Charlotte,
N. g., jail guard dispersed lot OF
lynchers and prevented them from
selling colored victim. And now
follows an instance from Mississippi.
At Sardis the governors guards, 30 In
number, stood all night with fixed bay
onets while the mob hooted and ragged.
Gov. Sangino has sent his congatula.
tions to the guards for their 6rmness in
protecting prisoner. There was
time when a southern sheriff who
would have attempted to save negro
from the wrath Of lynchers would
have been shot down like a mad dog,
and that time is not so distant in the
past. That public sentiment has
changed is shown by the episodes
mentioned above. 1t is also shown by
the new constitution adopted by the
recent constitutional convention in
Alabama, which has clause giving
the governor power summarily to re-
move sheriff who deserts his post or
yields prisoner when menaced by a
mob.

wrong idea OF Dignity.

Some lines of business in this CITY
are advertised by men who go around
carrying large signs, which are on long
poles, held in their hands, or strapped
to upright frames resting on their
shoulders. Thus the sign cannot fail
20 attract attention, as it sticks above
the heads of the crowd. In fair wealth
er the sign man gets along very well,
but when 1t is windy, there is trouble.
A sail three feet square at the end Of
long pole makes the holder navigate
around at great rate when a gust
of wind strikes IT. These men work
harder than they would hoeing corn
or saving wood, yet would doubtless
consider 1t beneath their dignity to
work on farm.-Rural New Yorker.

Kentucky. I showed her the scar
above my ear, and we went over a
dozen grounding fights in detail. Time
marched by on double-quick, and
finally 1 noticed a strange, troubled
look come into Billy's brown eyes. At
the same time she reached over, gave
me a saucy sort OF dab on the ear
with her glove and told me that I
must not ''reminisce."
Billy then gave the tenor Of our
talk an artful yank, and Kentucky
and the groundhogs were left in the
nrch. I remember she said she had
merely dropped into town to have a
dress made and do little shopping"

it was the wine or whether it was

times over the head Just to even
things up. On the other hand, il il
came about that Bruiser had met up
would always pull him off and give
the grounding chance TO run for it.
Billy might have been a little rough
at times, but if she was il was all be-
cause she was tho only girl and the
youngest child in family OF eight.
One time L took hand in one OF the
grounding fights. and Billy promptly
gave me rap over the head with her
club and ordered me to mind my own
business.
Billy was not unsympathetic, for
after she had split my head open with
her club she took me down to the
creek, washed the blood out of my
hair, tore her apron into bandages
and dressed my wound like a little
major. Then she made me wait at
the creek until she went home,
hitched a horse to the buck board and
came back after me.
Billy was indeed in a class all to
herself. The day 1 was to leave for
home we had crying match all to
ourselves down by the creek among
the groundhogs and butternuts. For
nearly year after went home we
wrote letters back and forth, and once
dropped into verse and wrote quite
wad of it, had it right, eh, doc
tor? Say, old man, hold the wire lust
moment, and III dig up verse or
two Of that old poem, just so you'll
know where 1 was getting of about
that time. Here we are:
Billy thought this verse was great:
"oh, pity the pain of the brave hopes slain;
OF the spirit that's wounded sore.
or the heart and the brain that shall never
again
Know the gladness they've known OF
yorer
Billy has another think coming, Ell
Well, no matter; Billy was q pretty
girl, and was a fool kid, so there you
are. The poem goes on, doctor, to the
extent of seven verses, but I'll spare
you.
Well, Billy came to town last week
In private car. Swell doings, don't
you think? But that made no differ
ence, for we fell upon each others
necks when we met in the hotel, just
the same. After holding an i'm
promptu reunion we made arrange
ments for the theater. Cabs, supper
and the rest followed.
Billy was winsome as girl, but, let
ma tell you, doctor, she's a dream as
= womanl Since had last seen her
she had learned many new tricks, and
her pretty little ways soon Tanned UP
the old flame. Her ladyship knew
how TO order wine. That was one Of
the things she had learned, and az
that 1 must admit she is indeed
mighty clever.
Billy insisted on talking theater and
plays, but managed after awhile to
swing the conversation back to old
