A MONTE CARLO LEGEND.
The story the Croupiers Tell of th'
Wandering jew.

The story the Croupiers Tell of the
Wandering jew.
All gamblers are superstitiOus, and
some of their pet superstitiOns are now
so old as TO have acquired the respec-
liability of venerable traditions. The
croupiers of Monte Carlo have an in
teresting set of traditional supersti-
tions of their own, most of which are
entirely unknown to the many thou
sands of visitors who toy with the
tiger" in that gilded court of chance.
The most striking of these is the
croupiers believe Us fervently as they
do that the bank will down any "sys-
TEN" that ever was invented. There
is one day, and one day only, in the
at Monte Carlo are closed-that is on
Good Friday. When the rooms are
opened on the following day. they say,
the first person to enter the Grand
Nouvelle Sale de .Jeur" Is an old man
of venerable appearance. He wastes
no time: but. walking straight to one
of the tables, he places with the trem-
bling fingers of extreme old age a
piece of money upon certain number.
The wheel is turned. the croupier's ma
sal cry falls upon the ear, announcing
that the number selected by the old
man has won. With a bitterly savage
exclamation the aged man seizes his
winnings, throws them about him and
hurries from the room to disappear, no
one knows where.
He is the Wandering Jew, and until
he can lose bet at Monte Carlo lie
must continue his wanderings. Get on
the "bind side" of any of the old crou-
piers of Monte Carlo. and they will tell
you this legend. Have they seen him?
OF course they have and are fully per-
suaded that the aged and mysterious
stranger is none other than the man
condemned to perpetual earthly wan
derings nearly 1000 years ago.

y FEAST THAT FAILED.
The story of "a Raccoon That Was
Not Served For Breakfast.

Not Served For Breakfast.
1t is within the memory of many
people that the custom of schoolteach-
ers boarding around was the usual
thing in country districts. Although
custom which teachers seldom liked,
it is doubtful if many of them had as
hard time as Il young schoolmaster
who described his experience in the
New England Galaxy for 1917. The
article was written by Leonard Ap-
thOrp, then an undergraduate Of Bow
doin college The young schoolmaster
was to receive $15 month and his
board.
From the first day l perceived that
l was at board on speculation and at
the mercy of n close calculation, he
writes. One day the whole dinner con-
sisted of a single dumping, which
they called pudding, and five sau-
sages, which in cooking shrunk to the
size of pipestems. There were five of
us at table.
A few days afterward, on my return
from school, my eyes were delighted
by the sight of an animal | had never
seen before. IT was n raccOOn, which
the young man, Jonathan, had killed
and brought home in triumph. When
skinned. he seemed to be one entire
mass of fat and of most delicate
whiteness. ! was overjoyed and went
TO bed early to dream of delicious
steaks which the morrow would bring.
Long before daylight l heard the
family stirring, and the alacrity Of
quick footsteps and the repeated open
ing and shutting of doors all gave as
surance of the coming holiday.

when seated at table | observed that
the place of Jonathan was vacant.

"Oh. yes" they said. ''he is gone to

"And what has called him up so
early to 90 to marketF
"He is gone" said they, 'to sell his

foundation in fact. After the incuba-
tlon of the young has been completed,
the crops of the parent bird Decome

which the young are fed. This Ge-

INCUTTING SHORT PASTURE
So That Harvey Grace's Cattle
Did Not Get Fat.

morning ct had been returned.

The coUrt al his instructions knocked
the nature plea of the defendants in the
head. IT will be remembered that the
season of 1901 was very dry and hot. es-
peciany during July and August Mrs.
Grave sent IL head of cattle to the Terrell
ranch in Butler county. The cattle did
not thrive as they should because they
did not get pasture enough, claimed the
plaintiff. He further alleged that Mr..
Terrell did not have enough pasture to
feed his cattle through the summer.
The defense claimed that il was natures
fault, not theirs that the cattle did not
thrive. When the cattle were sent to The
pasture there was plenty of grass and
water. but the drouth killed the grass
and dried-up the polls of water.
Judge Dale in reading his instructions
to the jury stated that the jury were
to eliminate any act of God so far as it
may have prevented the defendant fur
nishing sufficient amount of pasture. The
court said. however, that if the evidence
showed that plenty of grass was furnish
ed, but for some reason was not so nu-
tritious as it should have been and would
have been under normal conditions the
defendant could not be held liable for
any loss sustained by the plaintiff.
He further stated that the heat and flies
of that year were not the fault of the de-
Tense and he was not liable. but any dam
age from this cause should be borne by
Mr.. Grace. He further stated that the
contract did not call for water of estab-
lished quality. The contract simply said
that sufficient water should be provided
and it did not matter haw pure it was or
how conveniently located.
The opinion was expressed by persons
in the court room who had heard all of
the evidence that the jury would decide
for the defendant or would disagree. Sew
eral attorneys stated that with the evil
dence introduced and the instructions
given by the court that the jury retired
with everything in favor of the defense.

ATTENDANCE WAS SMALL
At Gun Club Tournamest Yesterday
Afternoon

Owing to the bad weather there was
very small attendance at the trap shoot
ing at the grounds on College Hill yester-
day afternoon, but the few who were out
enjoyed the sport. Interest centered in
the shooting Of the visitors, Mrs. y. Ben
nett and Mr.. Harry Kirby, who were both
in good form and made the high scores
of the day, over strange grounds. Mr..
Kirby averaged % per cent and Mrs. Ben
nett was only a few points behind him.
Mrs. Bennett is a formerly of Wichita
lady and is now travelling representative
OF the Latin & Rand Powder company.
She is the only woman in that line of
business in the country, and her work
with the gun is one of her main argu-
ments in favor of the goods she is selling.
She has many friends in Wichita who are
glad to meet her again.
Mr.. Kirby represents the Peters Car
fridge company and is fast making
friends among ;he sportsmen of this sec
ton. both by his ability to handle gun
and by his qualities as a mixer
The local shooters also shot in good
form. DelOs wood made his first apear-
ance as a shootist and created consider
able surprise by his ability. Ed Jackson,
an old hand at the trap, scored high gun
among the local men.

ings this season and interest in the sport
