No matter how old some of the jokes
in any book may he, some new ones
will be discovered in any such work
as that appropriately named Amer
lean Wit and Humor." On the first
page is what plIrports to be the an
nouncement over the bar of the Van
Ness house in Burlington, IF you
don't see what you ask for, want it. u
This deserves consideration both for
its humor and it's admirable philoso-
ply of discount. A statement which
is old enough, but still so new when il
gets around again that it deserves re-
statement is the remark of man
whose salary was smaller than his
family: IF pride goes before fall I'd
like to see pride start little ahead OF

The customary account of Chicago
brag comes in a statement that saw
ing of $1,000 q year could bemade in
ink alone if the people of the city would
stope dotting the 'i' in the name OF

if it was not right on the dot? The wit
of the woolly West appears in the ex-
pressed desire of some Montana gentle
men to start a. bad actor downhill in a
barrel--in order to have him appear in
a new-role. So of young Eastern
man who was hanged in Nevada-he

write inside-suggests the origin OF

IN their strong propensity to play
games and were often together engaged
IN that pastime. Shortly after the great
game was played Hedges left the city
and was reported TO have engaged in
the trottlng of horses throughout the
country. For many years he has been
dead to the world so far as any knowl-
edge Of his Whereabouts is possessed
by the citizens 81 Newburg. When these
three gathered about the board the big
game progressed as do few poker
games. It went on hour after hour,
getting more exciting every turn Of the
hand on the clock, and when It came
time TO stop Weed was ia debt to the
other players a round 500, 900. 1t was
never thoroughly believed that Weed
intended to give up to his antagonists
that portion on his fortune. His pride
as a player and the goading he re-
ceived from the others kept him in the
game and he continued to chip in, with
the hope Of ultimately retrieving what
he had lost. But it was the old story,
and he found that his luck had left
him. Try as he would, with an occa-
sional BLUM, he failed to get back his
money. At last some one proposed to
change the game to see il his luck
would also change. No one ever knew
except the players themselves, who pro-
posed the new game, but it is very
probable, under 4he circumstances, that
Il was Weed himself. At any rate, they
set in to play faro, and for hours this
game went on. But it was no better
for Weed than poker. His luck ran
against him all through, and the longer
he stayed the deeper In debt he got.
At last the time came for a halt, and
when it arrived Weed was a loser to
the other men for a sum much greater
than his entire wealth amounted to.
He had not only not won back a dollar
lost at poker in the faro game, but got
up from the table an additional $780, 600
loser. A friend, hearing hat Weed was
paying up, started for Newburg to look
after his friends interests, but before
he reached the city Weed had paid $780,
900 Of the debt. The friend had further
payments stopped and then the case
got into the courts. It has never been
known whether Weed got any Of the
$780, 0 refunded, but the general be-
lief is that the game cost him that
amount. 1t is also understood that no
demand was ever made by Hedges and
Scott for n part OF the 100000 won
by them at faro.

Acting on the theory that superior
Workmanship wins in modern war
fare. the United States government has
lust adopted a new device, which tends
to give our soldiers every advantage
in that line. Some valuable and prac-
ticable lessons were gained during the
Spanish war in regard to inaccurate
shooting, when a deal Of ammunition
was used up with no result. The u
lets in most cases went above the heads
OF the enemy. This was attributed
solely to poor aim and inability Of
soldiers to locate and distinguish OBJ
jects at a distance.
The government has adopted a new
telescope sight Of great magnifying
owe which is to be mounted on the
Krag-Jorgensen rifle. At present the
sharpshooter corps in the Philippines
have been sent the first installnent Of
the new telescope sight. In the dark
jungles Of the island forest these tele-
scopes are said to have already proved
most ehectual in bringing down the
far-distant forms Of the insurgents
which, without this aid, could not have
been seen by the naked eye. At a
range Of 1000 yards in hazy weather
a man can be picked off as easily as at
500 feet in bright light. The Ordnance
Board Of the army has carried a series
Of exhaustive tests with telescope
sight and has recommended It's use In
the highest terms. The telescope Is Of

The announcement that Francis p.

Conn, Monday morning, at the age Of
about 20 years, wildly recalls to the
citizens Of Newburg, where he for
merly lived, a gambling episode Of 10
or 20 years ago which attracted the at
tention Of the world, says the Utica
Globe. Mr.. Weed was the son Of Har-
vey Weed, who, while living, had the
reputation Of being n Of the closest
listed residents Of the place and accu-
mulated a fortune estimated at between
half and three-quarters Of a million
dollars, a big fortune for any n to
have in his day. The son inherited
the greater portion Of the estate. Until
he left Newburg, eight or ten years
ago, to take VI his residence in Hart
ford, he put in most Of his time as a
gentleman Of leisure. Occasionally he
took an interest in business enter
prises. and once In awhile a flyer in a
stock deal, but as a rule was not very
succe iul in them. If there was one
thing more than another he delighted
in It seemed to be a quiet little game"

was a hard loser and correspondingly

sum. He frequented Billy Buffers, Nor

then iourishing in Newburg, but his
keenest pleasure was In Sitting in
with a few cronies in a private room OF
office where the public did not enter.
For many years he was known by the
sports Of the town as a player, but
never until he startled the people of
Newburg and elsewhere by his "big
game" did It become known that he
would stand for heavy stakes. He was
by no mean a novice or unskilled.
Times without number he so deity
manipulated the cards when up against
good players and a strong game thai
his winnings exceeded those OF his
