A LESSON ON BETTING.
How an Old Fellow Taught d Crowd
Not to Be Too Eager.

Not ~ Dc LOO Lager
New Orleans Times Democrat.
Speaking of the old-time gamblers
and the free way in which they used to
bet their money" said an old-tiuler. re
minds me of quaint old character I
once knew in the central part Of Lou
isiana. and he was the gamest man I
ever saw when it came to putting up lis
money He would bet on anything under
the sun IN addition to his betting pro
pensity he was a great player Of pranks
and was never happier than when he
had played joke on a friend. One day
he was standing out in front of a coun-
try store talking TO a crowd of friends,
when the question Of his pencbant for
this kind Of sport came up. He was
itching for a bet at that very moment,
but his friends did not know IT. He be-
gan TO look around for something 10
bet on.
Just about that time an old negro
carrying a platter with q lot OF dishes
on it shambled out Of an old building
across the way and started toward the
group The old better and prank PLAYER
had rule TO the effect that he must
have odds OF 10 TO 1 on long chances.
III bet that coon falls and breaks that
platter OF dishes before he gets here he
said in a bantering way. Despite the
old mans reputation for playing pranks
the men around him thought they had an
easy thing OF it in this case. They be-
gan to put up their money. and he took
all he could get. When the negro was
within about ten feet of the group he
stumbled and spTawled out on the
ground, breaking every dish on the plat
ter The crowd was furious The obi
man daTted through the store and dis
appeared for a while. When it pleased
him TO do Sc he returned. His friends
were stiU there and they would hardly
speak TO him. He toked them for a
while and then told them he wanted 10
give them their money back
" You see he said. with a familiar
dTawl I had that coon fixed. and I Just
thought I'd teach you boys a little les
son so you'd not be eager to bet here
after 1t taught them lesson all
right. and so far as I am aware they |
never felt like going against the old /
