This is the game substantially as it is played, except that in some localities ? or appearing on the first trial means loss to the man who does the shoot ing, while l2 means merely that he must pass the dice on to the next player.

MONKEY MASCOT IN WAR.
4 SiuiAn Veteran of Philippine Strife
Who Was in Many EA-
HAgenOnts,

Fritz, the mascot of company r.,
Twenty third regulars, and veteran Of
the Philippine war, is known to the
boys of the company as "comrade," !"
and to them he is away above the av-
erage of his kind.
Fritz enjoys the rare distinction Of
being the only one of IL monkeys able
to stand the long ocean voyage from
Manila. Frank J. Knoffkey is his
owner. and the soldier has never gone
into an engagement since April IA, 1900,
when Fritz was brought into camp,
without the faithful monkey either on
his shoulders or trudging along close
by his side. Fritz has been one every
island in the Sulu archipelago and suf-
fered without a murmur the long and
trying campaigns.
When Knotfkey lay wounded on the
field in Cebu island his comrades in
uniform pressed on, but his comrade
Fritz nestled close to his side and
guarded him through the watches Of
the night.
On the regiments forced march
across Latey island Fritz divided his
time between walking and riding on
the shoulders of the men along the
line. It was on this occasion, says
the New York Mail and Exnress, that
he came near losing his life at the
hands of several wild monkeys be-
cause he had no tail. Amonlev loses
his social standing in the Philinnines
when he is minus tail. Fritz escaped
from his indignant relatives only by
leaping to the shoulders Of his master.

THE TROJAN HORSE TO DATE.
ClaAadeal Method EMPLOYED By TIVE
Clever PaTisian Thieves In
Their Business

Even in these latter days an intelli-
gent study of the ancient classics may
prove valuable asset to the consci-
entious student. That, at least, is what
one gathers from the exploits of the
pair of Partisan knights of the order
of industry who stole a dummy horse
from saddler's shop, and proceeded
to put it to the same use as the Greeks
did the Wooden Horse of Troy, reports
the London Graphic.
The deceptive quadruped was placed
on a handcart and wheeled to house
where an innocent concierge consented
to take care of it for the night. Before
morning one of the confederates had
emerged from the interior Of the
horse, laid hands on such valuables as
he could find, and regained his hiding
place-to be duly carted away by his
friend.
This stratagem was actually success
full several times-for good IN. Pipe
let" had, no doubt, never heard Ger
tain trite tag about gift-bearing
Greeks, and the legitimate suspicion
with which prudent Trojans should re-
gard such. At last, however, a police
man happened to see the horse passing
through the streets, and, having heard
of it's exploits, made bold to stop it.
and the game was up. Even good Ho-
mer nods-and the students of the
band were caught mapping. Clearly,
however, there is still money to be
made out of q sound classical educa-
ton,

A MAKER or SAINTS.
An Establishment in Parts That Has
Been Producing the H1guRes for
Over q Contury. :

The firm of Rafa, in Paris, has been
In existence for over q century, but it
is only six years since M. Pacheu, with
whom N. Lecaron is associated, took
over the business, says Pearson's Mag
azine.
This making of saints,"' he said,
was business which, when decided
to engage in industry. appealed to me
most strongly. It il an industry for a
man who is fond of frequenting the
public libraries, who takes his pleas
ure in poring over old books and docu-
ments, who delights in research. Thus
I do not know of anything that gives
me greater pleasure than when am
written to about some saint concern
ing whom the customer can give me
few if any details. One has to hunt up
the particulars, the period in which he
lived, the costumes of that period, to
find out what were his special attri-
butes, what was his martyrdom, it
martyrdom there was.
"Thus some time ago we received
from priest in the south of France
an order for a statue of St. Fris.
had never heard of such saint, nor
does he figure in our catalogue, though
that massive volume contains over 180
closely-printed pages of the names OF
saints. We applied to priest who
is a great authority on this subject,
and we learned that St. Fris was cap
tain of barbarians under the Roman
denomination, and that he was mar
tyred at the age of 20. This gave us
the period, and the rest was easy.
"Again, on another occasion, we
were asked to make statue of q Ste.
Anne, of whom we knew nothing but
that she was widow. We had to find
out everything else about her. But
once we know the period our task be-
comes easier. The period indicates the
costume. Thus recently we had to
make St. Maurice. We knew that he
was a captain, that he was a Roman,
and we dressed him with the breast
plate and the helmet of q Roman cap

CHINESE SANDWICHES.
mon Prejudice Night Lead
One to Suppose.

Patrons of q certain restaurant in
this city frequently call for "Chinese
sandwich" and the order il not de-
layed.
The prejudiced might suppose that
a Chinese sandwich was made of-well,
never mind, it isn't.
It doesn't seem quite clear why this
particular sandwich should be tagged
with a Mongolian label. In compo-
sition it is more Teutonic than oriental.
In short. it consists of two generous
slices of rye bread spread with finely
chopped raw meat.
= That there should be demand for
such sandwich is not surprising. Ger
mans have for long time relished raw
meat, even without the bread. Posi-
bly, the idea spread from Great Britain
and the continent, where the RI hospitals
have for years nourished certain pa
tients with raw beef and raw mutton.
The raw beef sandwich has also had
a place in the regimen Of New York
hospitals for long time. The medi-
cal mems theory is that raw meat is
more nourishing and more easily di+
gested, and is especially adapted to
weak stomachs.
If the taste for raw meat becomes
general it will be curious response to
the criticism of vegetarians, who have
constantly declared that he who Stays
his brother, the OK, for food, would
be more consistent savage If he de-
voured the carcass without cooking it.

An Odd wfndfall.

It is said that q foreman stereo-

had a curious windfall. Going to a

chased an old harpischord for 20
shillings, because, having hobby for
fretwork, he fancied the wood OF the
front panel. When he. got his pur-
chase home he dissected it. He then
discovered that the harpischord had
a double back, and presently between
the boards he found very old Bank
of England notes, the total face value
Of which amounted to @lsO, 900.
