JIMMIE HULL's STORY.
How "Toothpick Benz Read Number
on Hotel Room Door.


James E. Hull, passenger agent of the
Lake Shore, with headquarters in this
city, is at his desk again after "a severe
Illness. Although Jimmie Hull, as his
friends are wont to call him, has passed
through very trying experience, during
We're in vogue, he still retains his good
humor and greeted all of his friends yes
terday with his old-time heartiness
Mr.. Hun yesterday received a letter
represented the Baltimore & Ohio in this
city. Mr. Taggert was well and favor
ably known here, and although he seldom
gets a chance to visit his Sanity City
friends, being busy representing the in
terests of the Baltimore & Ohio at Phil
adelphia, he is still remembered here by
all his old-time comrades. Mr.. Taggert
in his letter to Mr.. Hull stated that the
famous "Toothpick Ben Chapman, known
from one end of the country to the other
as a king of gamblers, is dead Chapman
used to play on the Mississippi river
steamboats, during the good old days
when railroads were unknown and the
river steamers were considered veritable
travelling palaces. The games on board
were always interesting, and the limit
was always the ceiling Mr.. Taggerl
said that the last time he saw Tooth
pick Ben" the latter was standing in
having his shoes BACKED. He invited
Mr. Taggert to come in the hotel some
day and see him.
whats the number of your room?''
asked the railroad man.
81 dunno" answered Chapman But
there's little sign on the door that says,
win, lose, win.
Taggert "tumbled" to what Chapman
said at once In faro there is a rule that
when the ace comes up on one side It
means win and on the other, 'lose.'
So that's the way "Toothpick Ben" read
the number on his door. 1t was 100.
