Men who will take all the chances be-

not wear this number. They point to
the fatality at Waltham about two years
ago, when Stafford and Miles were killed.
Stafford wore No. Is. Then the recent
death of McEachern revlves the old SUI
perstton. He was killed while riding a
bicycle on tho 18th of the month. 1t was
his thirteenth trip on the new track at
Atlantic City. 1t was his thirteenth ac-
cident of the season, and his friends say
that If nc had remembered that it was
the 18th of the month he would never
have ridden that day.
Some of the local bicycle riders are be-
coming somewhat apprehensive about
Friday as a training day. Hardly Fri
day has passed the present season that
one or another Of the men in training
have not had bad falls
Nat Butler seems to be the most nm
fortunate in this particular, and he has
had so many falls on Friday that he
never goes out for practice spin on
that day without expecting a fall. Stin-
sons last serious fall was on q Friday.
The thirteen superstition has affected
the amateur bicycle riders as well as the
professionals. In one race where there
were thirteen starters at the tape one
of the riders withdrew at the last mo-

their fads and fancies. Accusing to the

Foxhall Keene, the premier polo player
of America, always has some mark bv
which he may be easily distinguished
from his fellow-players. In the old DAYS
it used to be a black SLOUGH hat that
stood out in marked contrast to the uni
form sartorial equipment OF the other
members of his team
The old black hat was like ravens

Brooklyn, Roclaway, Hampstead and
Newport. but when Mr.. Keene went to

back with him a 1aunty striped Hurting
ham cap. which was far more becoming.

- HAT does it cost to live like
a gentleman?
SA/ OF late this inquiry has
Wv arisen among Indianapolis
clubmeu transferred per-
- haps. from that spirited de-
bate which has eDgrossed the attention
of the New York's ultra set for the past
year.
AS Indianapolis is the center Of swell
dom of a state which is no longer credited
with being the cradle of backwoodsmen
and farmers, the solution of this problem
of dress is of intense Importance to those
who at least desire to wear the habit of
a gentleman OF course the word gen.
tleman in this sense should be under
stood as gentleman of fashion," for the
reason that the beggar may be more of
a gentleman than the millionaire whose
clothes may cover multitude of imper-
fections. 1t is gentleman a la mode, the
man who at his convenience maintains a
position in the highest circles of society,
that this article has to deal with entirely.
There is no question that the expenses
Of living are yearly growing greater.
This is no less true of the man with a
million than it is of the one who must
spend sleepIess nights Of worry over the
price of potatoes. For instance, automo-
biles have blossomed forth as an item of
great expense. There are those who
prophecy that it will not be long before
every gentleman must have or hire two
or three stylish airships if he would
maintain his social CT frc JlrYf +hot
is yet to come.
A prominent clubman Of Indianapolis,
one who lives like gentleman" and also
takes note how other gentlemen live, has
prepared two expense accounts, after
careful study, for The Sunday Sentinel.
His answer to the question OF what
does it cost to live like gentleman" is
the following:
BY Gentleman.
We viii consider two phases of. the
gentleman--one who spends as little as he
can and the one who gets away with as
much as he ought, and in so doing we will
estimate only for single men.
To begin, then, with the one who
spends as little as he can. We will sup
pose that his father has put him through
college; that he has made at least one
European trip and has returned to In
dianapolis to settle down. He may or
may not be in business. That will have
little effect upon his annual expenses II
he intends to keep them down.
In the first place he must be permitted
one fashionable club. A man surely can
not expect to correctly perform all the
prophecies of life without the example
and precept Of one seat of fashionable
learning.
We will credit 500 to that item II

persons to lunch and five to dinner on the
other four days. He has at least two
theater boxes a week at $40 apiece, during
the winter naonths-say three until the
novelty has worn off, so we may place
theaters en- gros at $500.
In the matter of clothing this gentle
man has not the faintest idea what he
owns. Even his faithful valet forgets.
He buys everything he thinks he wants
during his annual trip to London and
Paris, and then is constantly writing for
more. He will go to a club, where he has
not been for year, and find there
great coat and an entire outfit Of thick
clothes which he has told them to keep
for him.
Shooting clothes are at his gun club.

tlngutshed patron of the game during

There Is another popularity about Mr.

He is superb horseman, and can make

men could ride at all.

Other polo players are noted for odd
effects in the way of martingaIes. Tho

the fashion for white martingales sew

1t IS not an uncommon thing for a
player to have favorite old glove or
a mallet or lucky charm Of some sort
Some of the players have been known RI
go into game with rabbits feet tucked
away under their belts, and, Of course
all these things help to win big matches.
Tor the element of superstition does en-
ter into the game.
In the naming of l,olo ponies many
players have system that they strictly
adhere to. Allan Forbes Of the Dedham
Polo club. for example, picks out the
name Of some game. the initial letter or
which is a B. and among his string are
found Bagatelle. backgammon and
Battledore.
1t Is the choice OF corners that keeDs
prize fighters on the anxious seat before
a contest. This is all the more remark
able as the choice carries with IL no
important advantage. as man can
fight as well after coming out of one
corner as out of another. There is gb-
soiutely 10 difference in the appoint

In drawing up this account I made the
mental reservation that my modest gen
tleman could and should live on $4,000
year without in the least knowing where
these figures would land me. I find now
that we have the very comfortable sum
of S1.379 for that very important item Of
pocket money, under which head come all
such personal indulgences as travelling
cabs, drinks, cigars, cigarettes, theaters,
etc, and opine that our friend will not be
a CULVER nor yet a smokestack or
first-nighter, but he actually has money
enough to move about some. to smoke
good Egyptian cigarettes and good cigars
in moderation, and to take in the best
plays.

We will now consider only the gentle
man who has unlimited means at his

money can buy.
r In the first place, he is a member of
four or five clubs. Therefore he annually
pays out $500 or $500 to clubdom.
Following in the same order as in the
modest instance, one comes to the ques-

attends the employment of skill, strength
and endurance Just as many gamesters
would not think Of playing the bank
or ''the Wheel or sitting in the game
without having about them a lucky
coin or some other object, so many
devotees Of athletic sports refuse to enter
a competition unless wearing or carrying
some article in or with which they have
previously achieved success
Whether there Is any sound basis for
belief in the efficacy Of those lucky
articles, few of the believers care to
argue; still fewer of them are willing to
admit the belief But when any can be
induced to talk of the matter they viii
adduce circumstances which, whether
mere condolences or not, confirm them in
their faith that certain things are for
tunate and certain other things I'M
fortunate-or, as they will be most apt to
express it, "masoots" or 'hoodoos.'
There is a belief equally strong among
many that to see or to miss seeing some
particular things previous to competing
will have benign or malign effect upon
the result. Almost everybody had a fad
or one kind or another, and to give a
catalogue would require columns. How

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

G'rom the Sentinel, Gebo Mont)
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after r0r- tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelins about and afterwards his camping upon his claim. he encountered much bad water. which. together with the severe heat. gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm possible to check. and along in June the case became so bad he expected 10 die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as Q last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was e. peated. The good effect of the medi- cine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by Elvey G Hulett.
