Gamblers Charms.

Sailors and actors are commonly cred
tied with being the most superstitious of
men. but the gamler who haunts the tab
les OF Monte Carlo and similar fambling
resorts leaves them hopelessly outof the
race In the Importance he attaches TO
omens and tailsmans.
There lis scarcely a man or woman who
tempts fortunes at the tables who does
not go armed with some wonderful tails
man which is TO bring them luck and
these charms often take the quaintest
and most grotesque form.
One man who had an exceptional run OF
luck at Monte Carlo last year ascribed
II all TO frao which he carried suspended
from his watch charm. This coin had a
grim history, for 10 was the only one
found on the body OF a gambler who had
lost his fortune at the tables and had shot
himself In the grounds rather than face
the world with frac as his whole capi-
tai.
Another player. whose success excited
considerable attention and envy, carried a
puaint little Indian idol carved In ivory.
which he picked up during his travels I'm
the East. which was credited with
mystic virtues. On only one occasion he
went TO the tables without his idol charm,
when he experience such a run OF bad
luck that he had TO beat a hasty retreat.
Another well-known gambler. who visits
Monte Carlo every year. pins his faith to
miniature of dead wife which he wears
attached to a chine around his neck. and
a very old player attributes his almost in
variable good fortune TO a silver watch
which intercepted a bullet and eaved his
life during the American Gil War
One very familiar figure at the tables
is that of an elderly man, whose ca
paeious waist there bangles a perfect

number. There is n pig in gold and an
other in silver (the pig In any form is

TO the superstitiousD, several lucky coins.

and the claw of tiger that nearly killed
him.
And yet these charms are powerless 10
bring him fortune for he candidly confess
es that he would he thousands OF dollars
richer If he stayed away from MonteCar-
10.
But the gamblers superstitions is by no
means confined to charms. Nothing is
too trivial TO convert into a nomen.

these and a score of similar fanciful
cources he gets the numbers on which he

these their most fortunate days. but In

Led Lives of Romance.

No two Americans are more constantly

heard Of because OF his restlessness and
his facility for getting into difficulties.
For long time Ellis was known I'm Par

OF late he seems to have become so thor
'oughly English that the Americanism
which at first distinguished him has been
forgotten.
The careers of these two Bartlett boys
have been like chapters out OF novels,
and the last chapters OF their romances
have not yet been written. The bank
ruptcy of Sir Ellis is the latest incident
in his story. The Bartletts were poor Am
erican boys not comparatively poor. but
really poor. They inherited some money
from a relative in England, and went
there 10 live. Ellis studied law and was
admitted TO the bar, but never practiced.
Instead, he became a clerk in the Civil
Service at a salary OF $500 year He
had fortune of some $1,000, and in 1850
he gave UP his clerkship 10 go into poll
