Vie Lost All His Bets and Made

The captain Of one rather old and
slow steamer OF years ago, finding that
he would have to be Il long time IN
China before he received a full cargo
Of tea and would have probably TO re-
turn in ballast, began, to every che )
astonshment, to say that, owing to the
repairs that had been done to his en-
gines, he hoped 10 make Il racing pas
sage back to England. Then, still more
to the astoniSbment Of the captains OF
the fast steamers and the world at
large, he commenced to back himself to
make the fastest passage home.
In such very considerable sums of
money did he wager that people began
to think there was something in it, and
the merchants sent their tea almost ell
tirely to his ship, arguing that as the
captain stood to lose 600 the repairs to
his steamers engines had probably put
him in a position to bet almost on
certainty.
OF course the steamer, whose great
est speed was eight knots an hour, or
rived in England weeks after the 9th
ers and the captain lost t2oo, but in
stead of having to lie in China waiting
his chance of cargo coming in from the
interior, ii probable delay of weeks, he
had cleared In q few days after his
bets became known to the public with
u full ship, thus recouping to his own
ers. who of course paid his betting loss

served them as food and, being gener-
ally in a state of starvation. tore them
to pieces with their fingers and de-
voured on the spot the flesh, raw and

imals that assisted them in hunting
and invented the bow and spear that
enabled them to Kill their prey at a

The knife was invented as an instru

No new light has appeared IN

Numerous rumors III regard to the
eventual action Of the President
are IN circulation. There is an al
most unanimous opinion to the et-
feet that the United States cannot
permit Cuba to negotiate loan Of
S35, 900, 900 without protest.
Such loan would be, it Is claimed,
the first step towards bankruptcy,
and the possession of the bonds
winch must be fiually defaulted, by
some foreign power, might lead to
serious complications. The COM
try whose citizens held the bonds
might attempt to toreclose the
mortgage by taking possession of a
portion of Cuban territory, move
which would be in direct violation
of the Monroe Doctrine, and, in
fact, the precise end, to avoid
which, the Platt Amendment was
adopted. Speculation as to what
course the President will pursue is
almost without limit. Many there

JONES "WENT TO THE DOGS
But They Were the Making Of Him in
Financial Way.

They can't make the old fling at the
South that we don't diversity our
INDUSTRIES said man from Baldwin,
Miss, Saturday, says Washington
telegram.
I'VE have been accused of raising
cotton and corn until the markets
were glutted, and all sort of criticism
has been hurled at us. This is being
changed now, and we are going in for
all manner of odd things. There is a
man in my town who is making a
great success at training dogs for bird
hunting. His name is Jones-James
Jones, to be specific-and he is MAX
ing money.
Jim always was boy of ideas
He saw sooner than the rest of us
that farming was out of date and,
therefore. spent most of his time hunt
ing. His folks used to plead with him
in vain. 1t is great quail country
down our way, as Private John Allen
may have told you while he was in
congress- Jim started to train dogs
for himself and a few friends, and
soon he took it UP as a business.
There is no dog that is so stubborn
that he will not yield to Jim's instruc-
struction. Some settlers have coome to
him SO badly spoiled that their cases
were regarded as hopeless. but it
would not be long before Jims pa
tience and knowledge of canine nature
would bring him out all right He
takes the dogs hunting in quail season
resulting in killing thousands Of birds,
and man does not have to go far
for an object lesson fro his dog
"Sportsmen from all over the coun-
try now send dogs to Jima nd he is
gaining national reputation and an
income that makes the growing of
corn of corn and cotton truly envious.
At first they used to say that Jim
had gone to the dogs but now this
pun is used more out of resyect than
