pleasure. For in this volume, If they re-
fFa1n from looking at the table of con-

satisfaction Of finding out afterward
whether they are able to distinguish
the poems Of the joint authors-BIss
Carman and Richard Hovey-one from
the other.

viewing the earlier volumes. One re-
viewer. after cridcising Mr.. Carman Sc

most peoples in town. The stables Of
the house in Grosvenor square are built
in a somewhat curious fashion, the horses
being lodged on the first floor.
Sam" Lewis often laughingly confess
ed that he had so much money that he
had no idea what to do with it. To get
rid Of some of this superfuous wealth
he made a habit of going to Monte Carlo.
He often complained, however, that he
was SO unlucky in his object that he
made more than he lost. On one famous
occasion, indeed, he broke the bank, and,
in despair of being able to spend the
money. he distributed half of it among
the poor of Marseilles. This is not the
only instance of his generosity; and if a
beggar accosted him as he wandered up
and down Bond street-a favorite custom
of his-he was not likely to go empty
away.
He was. in fact, rather proud of his
munifcencc to the poor. 1t was the rich
wording, the giIded youth, upon whom
he loved to practice his usurfous arts;
and those who knew him well say that
he did not so much out OF greed for gain
as from a queer half humorous principe
of spelling the Egyptians he evolved
from curious and exceptionally per-
verse nature.

sign the bills without knowing their ma
ture by means Of fraudulent trick prac-
ticed by Lord William Nevil, who, as In
deed it was afterwaTd proved, had COW
cred the main portion of the bills with
plotting paper.
Commenting during the summing up
on The part that Sam" Lewis had played
in the matter, he said: His (AIr. IseWiSD
business of bill discourting and money
lending was not a very popular one, but
let them at least be just to those who
carried 1t on. The plaintiff had been for
thirty years at the same address In Cork
street, and there had been no attempt
to show that he deserved other than the
name of a man who was honorably en-
gagged"
1t is typical OF the scale upon which
sam Lewis conducted his business that
in a period OF two or three years the
monetary transactions between himself
and Lord William Nevill embraced an
amount Of something like e9O0Oe.
In character Sam" was What is best
described as bluff He could, if he
chose, be extremely engaging in a some
what rough and ready way, but, on the
other hand, if he had no desire to make
himself agreeable he took no pains TO
disguise the fact. He had a keen sense
of hurnor. and his ready wit often stood
him in good stead.
He lived in a beautiful house In Gros-
venor square, and Of late years there
have been few better known or more
popular hostesses than Mrs. Sam"
Lewis, who is noted for her dinners and
driving capabilities.

BILLIARDS AND HIGH BALLS.

Washington Post.
TWO real merry young things wearing
raglanS, got into a game of billiards in
the billiard room of q downtown hotel
the other afternoon. Between every two
or three shots they touched the button
that summoned the boy with the apron
and poured tall, high-proof reflections into
their persons. After they had been doing
this for about three-Quarters of an hour
tte1r billiard play became one continuous
performance Of zeroS on both sides. They
stuck to the game, however, and went On
touching the button. At the end of about
an hour and a half, when nary a carom
mad been made by either man for fully
twenty. minutes. one of them rested
dreamily on his cue and inquired Of the
other:
O., Shay. ,w,hash matter here, anyhow
Shot. How many balls d'you shee on tn
table, anyhow y =
The other cast his unsteady vision over
the .ac table . for mon m4ment and replied;
Shame ash ycu-sheven. Thash funny,
too. On'Y there when We shtarted in, Other
four ballsh mustn't have jest grown, hey?''
ana then, to make the evidence of his
visual sense more convincing unto him
self he placed his left hand over his left
eye and again scrutiniZed the balls on
the table, whereupon his face lighted up.
Sh all RI now" he announced, "On'y
shee three now. josh skhushe me FIR
half minnit, will you? Be RI back"
Then the man who had discovered the
advantage u ia Wing Out one eye under
certain circumstances sailed unsteadiIy
out He went to an opticians and re-
turned TO the billiard-roOm after an
absence of about ten minutes. There was
a glad smile On the features as he undid
little package, revealing two eye-patches
of the sort that are fastened round the
back Of the head with eIatic bands The
two billiardists solemnly fastened these
contrivances over their respective left
orbs and went ahead with their game
with manifest enjoyment and with con-
Siderable mere success. Every time
either of them made passahle shot he LET

of tie two chaps with patches over their
eyes.
"Well, believe they do belong to the

then the guest who had asked the ques-
tion ftercely strobe UP to the desk and
commanded the cashier to make out his

out a little friendly assistance from
Sam" Lewis.
He stuck to his own line Of business.
Time and again he was offered trading
illustrating bills of the most unim-
peachab,e characterize discount He
absolutely refused to have anything to
do with them. That class Of business
was not in his way.
He was not entirely rapacious, nor al
together heartlesS, but when once he
had established a monetary connection
with a man it was not his fault if the
intimacy, usually so satisfactory in it's
results TO Sam" Lewis, was broken
off. When once he had made an agTes-
ment with a man he kept him to it
TO the very letter,
An excellent instance of this is to be
found in a letter which Sir George Lewis
addressed to 1.-The Times in April, 1858,
on the subject Of ''West End Usurers.
''In the year 1884" wrote Sir George
