THE END.
A Splendid Blur.

One Jew and four reputed Chris
tians were playing poker on an At
lantic liner. The pool was piled with
so sovereigns. The Jew asked for two
cards, and one of them was turned
the queen of diamonds. 81 won't take
it," he protested. But you must, {"
said the dealer. 81 WON'T" said the
Jew. The players all supported the
dealer. cts not fair" persisted the
Jew. '1'll take my e1O out of the
pool and leave the game" "You can't
leave the game, but you must leave
your money" was the reply. So he
gave in and took the card. Only two
were betting, one of whom was the
Jew, who raised and raised his adj
versary. "But, my dear fellow, know
your hand can't be worth much - it
isn't fair" said the Christian. "Well,
I'll see you," was the reply. The
Christian laid down four knaves. The
Jew showed four queens. But what
on earth-why did you refuse the
queen of diamonds?'" asked the loser.
''The Jew smiled pleasantly as he
emptied the pool. "That is my bust
ness" he replied.-London Chronicle.

at Various Times.

All visitors to Belgium are familiar
with the little carts carrying fruit,
milk or vegetables and drawn by one
or more overwhelming dogs. In
former days dogs were much more
used for draught purposes than they
are now. A well-known character who
was known as "Old Lal," used to race
out of London with team of dogs.
He constructed for himself sort of
blackboard and had harnessed to it
four foxhounds, who would cover long
distances at great pace. Later one
Dumsdale used to appear on the high
ways and race the coaches with
small wooden cart. Sometimes the
dogs would cover IL miles an hour,
though their natural pace was about
seven miles an hour. Dumsdale's IA
vorite trip was from East Grimstead
to Brighton and back, distance of 4s
miles. He would make the journey
in "a hours, including stoppages for
rest and refreshment.
More than one instance is on record
of ostriches being used in place of
saddle horses or for drawing tight
traps.
A wealthy man of Vienna named
Doller once built carriage, on which
he attached two bears, while a third
was trained to sit beside him on the box
seat. With this extraordinary turn
out Doller appeared in the streets of
the Austrian capital, but complaints
were soon made to the police that
the bears scared horses and provoked
runaways. Doller was forbidden to
drive his team in the city. He then
started a team of trained wolves, but
again the police objected to his dis
playing his eccentricities in the
streets of Vienna and he gave up the
attempt to divert the public with
strange turnouts.
But the palm of eccentricity in turn

named Huddy, who, when 81 years old,

Half an hour later Blanche drove up
to the bank in a cab. and remained
seated in it while she sent in a mes

DRESSING THE WELLS. Old English Custom Still Practiced
 in the Midlands

Many old English customs have died out. but the annual dressing of the wells is still practiced in few places in the Midlands. One of these is lis sington. an world village nestlinG amongst the Derbyshire hills. There is no record of the origin of the cus~ tom. The villagers tell you that 1t Is in commemoration of a great drought which once burnt up the pastures and dried up the rivers. but to the end of the rainless time the five wells at Tis sington ran full and clear, and tho grateful villagers one day dressed the wells with flowers. and marked it as a holiday for all time. Perhaps the story Is not true. but for the want of bet ter one 1t is accepted and from time immemorial the wells at Washington have been fiorally decorated by success. i've generations of villagers one day in the year.
 According to The Gardeners Maga- zine. the same men decorate the wells year after year. and in some instances the work has been in the hands of the same family for generations. A spirit of competition exists which perhaps accounts for the elaborate designs that are set up. At one time the village supplied the material. but now 1t is said that Covent Garden provides a part. An appropriate service is held in the old church and then the villag CTS make a circuit of the village, with the clergy leading. and a brief service. which includes hymn. Is held at each of the five wells. After the great aIi- hual event. Washington settled down again to the quiet. oldworld tenor of its being.

Signs Prepared for the Dead Beats.

Two New Workers. sitting a a round table in a combination barroom and restaurant. eating hot roast beef sand wlches and drinking beer, had their attention attracted to a sign over the bar which read, In God we trust; all others cash" says The Tribune of that city. That sign smacks too much of sacrilege," said one. Its witty. per haps, but I don't like it. A sign that one sees in many English ale houses conveys the same hint to those who desire credit. and yet does not drag in the sacred name. This sign I speak of is often accomplished by the picture of a faithful watchdog lying dead on the ground. and the legend reads:
 "'Oid Trust Is dead bad pay killed him"
 "The difference betwen the two signs" replied his companion, "it seems to me, Is the national difference be- tween British humor and Yankee wit When I was in Europe last vacation l often saw a sign in the wine shops there which never saw anywhere else until a few days ago l spied it decorat- ing the wall of little Italian drinking shop on the lower East Side. It reads:
 Tomorrow we give credit, but not today"
 "The dead beat seems to be the espe- cial product of no particular nation" said the first speaker. By the way, Bill can you lend me a half? don't like to hang up the house. Never do 1t, in- deed. Matter of principle with me. Thank you. Return 1t next time we meet, of course"
