QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE.
After forty years experience as a gam
bier Peter f. Delaoy, the noted New York
sport, advises everybody to leave games
Of chance alone. Delacy is still in the
same old business, but he says he can count
on the fingers of one hand the men he has
known to make money by ~gambling-and
keep it. "It comes too easy and men don't
put the proper value on money made in
that way. 1t comes to nothing in the long
run, and that's why l advise everybody to
keep away from gambling"

was in a hotel there the other evening
when his brother, Edward, entered with
two wealthy eastern meat packers. The

refused to serve them with wine. Young
Foerderer became abusive and was heap
ing maledictions on the managers head,
when the congressman, who is large and
muscular. came in. He seized the blbulous
youth by the collar, yanked him out by a
side door and sent him home in a cab, ,
after (which he returned and finished hia
dinner.

And you are going homer"
Yes, back to Japan"
The small face grew very serious.
II want to teach my people two things
when l get back" she said-"ice cream and
the gospel"
THE spectacle of Miss Susan B. Anthony
appearing as the bridesmaid or maid OF
honor at the wedding of her secretary, Miss
Damn" says the Chicago Post, " is a beau
tiful example of the sublime self-sacrince
Of this noble woman. While Miss Anthony
would much rather go to the dentists
chair than to the altar Of Hymen, she
sinks her own feelings and preiudices in

self-contained but regretful party to the
slaughter. We have not heard how Miss
Susan will be gowned on this lamentable
and melancholy occasion, but we dare say
she will put on her very best black silk
with a black hat and veil and other trap
pings Of woe. But In spite Of all this ad-
mirable self-forgetfulness, II there Is any
idle talk Of 'obeying' during the degrading
