man, very popular with the ladies. He
met with reverses and found himself in
Fleet prison for debt. Mr.. O'Kelly would
probably have remained there the better
part of his life had not one of his fair
friends sent him her last 91o0. With this
he again wooed the goddess of fortune,
who from that time until the day Of his
death never seemed tired of faYoring
him. Having accumulated q few thou
sand guineas some time in 1853, he heard
that a Mr.. Wildman was the owner of
very likely four-year-old colt, which
had never been raced He examined the
animal, liked him, and bought half
interest in him for $50 guineas The more
he saw of the horse the more he liked
him, and shortly afterward bought the
remaining interest for 100 guineas In
this manner he became sole owner Of
the famous horse, on which he after
wards bet a fortune that "he would be
first and the rest nowhere" and won
the wager.
WOMEN WHO BET HEAVILY.
Among the largest lady bettors on the
race circuit are Mrs. George Wheelock,
wife of the well known bookmaker; Mrs.
Tambien and Maid Marian fame, and

Some women have peculiar ideas in bet

Berlin Bourse.

Berlin, July 7.-Although the failure of the Trebor-Trocaknung Company was ex- pected after the Leipsig crash, the event caused the deepest depression on all Ger man bourses This and other factors made last week the blackest since the reaction began in April of last year. The weekly financial reviews all emphasize the com plete pessimism which has seized the public, and many of them warn their readers against indiscriminate selling, pointing out that the shares of the sound est undertakings are now suffering from the widespread distrust. and that there is danger of increasing the conditions arti- ficially through a made rush to sell
 Declines were scored in every depart ment Even government bonds. which during the previous week had advanced sharply. lost last week large part of the advance, chiefly through sales for foreign account, French holders especially sell ing. Foreign money is also being with drawn from the German discounting busi- ness.
 The markets weakest spot was indus trials, the condition of which was pam icky. Friday was the weakest day known in these securities for nine months. The depression in industrials was increased by statement that the coke syndicate had decided to raise the restriction of the output to one-third, having only recently raised it to one-fourth. The new raise is due to the declining Consumption of blast furnaces.
 The weeks reports from industrial cen ters were more unfavorable and worse than expected. the declines ranging for iron shares from 8 to 18 points and for coal shares from 8 to 20 points. Other in- dustrial securities fell off correspond ingly.
 Bank shares declined from to points. and provincial banks suffered heavily. Accompanying the weeks derout was growing cheapness and abundance of money, the private rate of discount de- clining to 8 per cent. Nevertheless the discounting rate was extremely difficult to obtain. owing to the caution exercised by lenders. This caused extraordinary pressure at the Reichsbank.

from top to toe, who had known Eric in happier days at the Point, made ve- hement personal appeal to the manage ment and succeeded in having 1t stop ped. It was The Palladium's policy when discrediting Langdon to refer to Sthe unimpeachable verdict of brother officers, gentlemen of unstained honor, which had cast him from the fold" Now it needed circumstantial instances with which to- impeach these same brother officers of unstained honor, and who more likely to be in possession of numerous interesting facts or in read lness to part with them seriatim than the "kicked out captain" now needy, impoverished and presumably sore hearted? It was reporter who brought Langdon the message that MT. Mana ger wished to have a little talk with him, and Langdon went, silently took the chair to which he was affably way ed after the preliminary tender of the handshake and smoke which the guile less Indian and the enterprising busi- ness man alike regard as indispensable to a council preparatory to mischief. Langdon listened without a word to a monologue that speedily became halt ing and embarrassed, for the blue gray eyes looked straight into the shifting orbs behind the steel trimmed speeta- cles, and under that silent steady gaze the manager stumbled more and more, ending abruptly with: Well, merely suggest this. It is line of work we thought you might care to take up. In your experience you must have encoun- tered many and many a case that would substantiate the views we have expressed, and now that you are out of 1t all, and very unjustly, as we are in- formed, you probably wouldn't mind giving us the benefit of-of what you know"
 What know of the officers of the army" said Langdon, rising, Sis just the opposite of what you publish. Tn the one case out of 20 where you meet with cad it is simply another in- stance of the exception proving the rule, which is that almost all their number are gentlemen-men of honor, conscience and character I do not thank you for your offer. Good morn ing, sir''
 "Your friends quixotic fool" said the managing editor to his subordinate that night. But if you can get him to come and dine with me at the Union League do 1t. Bring him tonight if pos sible. I'd like to know more of him." which goes to show that the policy of paper and the honor and conscience of 8 man are two very far different things. Eric wouldn't dine at the club. He said he could no longer get into his dress clothes, which was true, for he had sold them for one-third their value and one-tenth their cost. A yardmas- ter had no need of such toggery, he thought, but that was when he never dreamed that he should so soon lose that position or ever gain one infinitely higher.

THEY TRADED WIVES.
Queer Matrimonial Deal Reported
 from the Far West.
Both Husbands Were Willing and All Four Lived Happily Together in a Klondilxe Cabin-Their Re-
 turn to Civilization.

Mitchell Pickels, formerly of Ana conda, Mont, went into the Klondike with his wife in 1898 and so did J. E.. Seesholtz, a Tacoma tailor. All four have just returned, writes New York Sun correspondent from Tacoma, Wash, but the former Mrs. Pickels is now Mrs. Seesholtz, and the tailor's former wife is now Mrs. Pickels. The men swapped wives Tn the Klondike country, and seem very happy over the exchange.
 Seesholtz's first wife wasn't with him on the first trip into the gold country. He left her behind in his tailor shop while he went north to win fortune, but she followed a month or so later. On the trail the tailor met the Pickelses and they struck up friendship. In Dawson Seesholtz boarded with the Pickelses. It wasn't long before Mrs. Pickels and the tailor developed a Strong affinity for each other. They told Pickels about it very frankly and Pickels present Mrs. Seesholtz says.
 He ordered Nhat before anything was done about it the tailor should send for his wife, and he did. She came and brought her four-year-old son along. Friends of the couple say that she rather took to heart the news that her husband didn't want to live with her any longer, but preferred the wife of another. But that was where Picke1s came in. He liked Mrs. Seesholtz better than he had liked his own wife, and after awhile she liked him.
 Then the swap was agreed on. It should be said that the first Mrs. Pickels was about 40 and her hus- band few years younger. The

One of them knew there was upward of 5000 In the safe.when Langdon went down to Gunnison, as usual, on Friday evening.
 Had he gone on railway business" was the question.
 "No; not this time-solely to instruct the Gunnison company" was the frank reply. MT. Channing's secretary told of Langdon's letter appealing for aid to meet the payment of $350. The sta- ton master at Gunnison described Langdon's nervousness the night of the robbery; told of him twice leaving his couch and going out and pacing the platform, and Langdon was informed by a curt note that he need not return to Brentwood-his services would no longer be required.
 And now there set in revulsion of feeling at Brentwood as the summer wore on. The rifles found that Perri- go's money and social position had failed to compensate for the loss of Langdon's skill, experience and guid- ing hand. The company was falling to pieces. The Grays at Gunnison held a meeting and passed resolutions of sympathy and confidence and, going down into their shallow pockets, sent Langdon a check for S1o0 and letter that he read with swimming eyes. The Brentwood Banner, that had abused and wronged him in the winter, came out in a vigorous editorial, penned by Armstrong, wherein the base ingrati- tude of the Big Horn was heralded throughout Nebraska, and marked cop les were sent to Langdon, who was seeking a clerkship in the quartermas- ter's department at Chicago, for the Gray Fox had been promoted to the double stars and the command of di- vision. But the one vacancy that oc- cured was demanded by half a dozen influential politicians for needy hench- men, and the desk was given to rank outsider The selection was made in Washington, and the general could not help himself There had been mali cious rejoicing among the lower ele- ments about the Brentwood yards that the division superintendent did not

sents the ancient French sympathizer with the American revolutionists in an erect attitude, with one arm point ing to distant America, to whose aid he was about to go. The figure is dressed in the full uniform of the high rank of a field marshal. The portrait is good and the expression lively. The most striking and sig nificant feature of the memorial is the symbolic figure at the base, show ing woman hurrying forward with the flag of France borne aloft in her right hand. Beneath her feet is the prov of a ship which France has sent over the sea to the aid of the revolutionists. Below are the arms of France and those of the. United States linked together. Count de Rochambeau, the present holder of the title, has expressed his gratitude to the American congress through the French ambassador, M. Cambon. The monument will, it is believed, empha- size the friendly relations existing between the two countries.

His Love of the Truth.

The late John J.

After he had fin- ,ished, man pushed forward, grasped his hand warmly and said: Governor, I have been lifelong democrat, but at the coming election I shall vote for you." "Thank you,'' replied the governor, much gratifed; :; "may I ask the particular reason for your change?" Because you are the first speaker on either side in this campaign that have heard tell the truth. You said when you began that you couldn't make much of a speech, and, by jinks, you can't!"

 Seesholtzes were < about 30. Mrs. Pickels was the controlling spirit, ac- cording to all accounts. She had a way with her. When she was thwarted she had a habit of going into mysteries and then falling into a trance. Usually she had her way.
 Both couples went through the form of sending outside for divorces. Pickels sent to Montana and See sholtz to Pennsylvania. When they papers came in, as it is asserted they did without long delay, both couples were remarried.
 The former Mrs. Seesholtz waited two months after the last wedding before she was united to Pickels. Then they, too, were married. The four, 90 they admit, lived very hap oily together in d Klondike cabin and there were no hard feelings.
 The only complica Sons have arisen since the four have returned fairly prosperous to the localities where they were known before the swap. Many of their friends had not heard dDouC lI ana Unelr surprise when Mrs. Pickels (fornerly Mrs. Seesholtz) introduced Mrs. Seesholtz (formerly Mrs. Pickels) to them as My dear friend, Mrs. Seesholtz," explaining at the same time that her own name was now Pickels, is better imagined than described. Some of them did not hesitate to express their opin- ions very freely.
 But neither the Pickelses nor the Seesholtzes seemed to mind. They made arrangements to go into busi- ness together and were about to rent a store for that purpose when the restlessness of the gold hunter again came upon MT. Pickels and a week ago he returned to the Klon- dike. Mrs. Pickels went back to Ta- coma, where she is working in a tailor shop and awaiting her hus- bands return. MT. and Mrs. Seesholtz are in the tailoring business in San Francisco! At present there is no sign of either couple again resorting to the divorce court to free them selves from marital ties.
