"SWEDE SAM" SAID TO
BE BROKE AGAIN
Boss Gambler of the Northwest Drops
100000 at Hot Springs.

HELENA, Mont, April 5. "Swede
Sam" is broke again. Such is the re-
port that has reached here from Hot
Springs. Faro and the races proved
his undoing.
The career of Sam as high roller
is unprecedented ! in the Northwest
That he does not appreciate the in
trinsic value of a dollar is illustrated
by the reply he made to Senator w. A
Clark, who was lecturing him on the
evils of gambling.
Il wouldn't give whoop for your
money, senator, unless 1 could gamble
with it, he said.
Sam came to Montana fifteen years
ago. He worked as a laborer. and
finally learned to play cards. Since
then he has participated in some Of
the most noted card games in the
Northwest.
One of these incidents is worthy of
repetition. With four or five stock
men, Sam and Brockey Pete We're play
ing stud poker a dozen years ago in a
Helena gambling house Finally the
stockmen were to the bad and the ia
bic stakes, which amounted to about
$4,000, were divided equally between
Sam and Pete.
By the time the last card had been
drawn and each had $4,000 in the pot.
Pete essayed a bluff. With calm DELHI
GRAFTON he pushed in his remaining
$4,000, though neither had a pair in
sight
Sam was equal to the occasion, and
after a moments elaboration showed in
his $4,000, and, incidentally, raked
down the 5000. 1t was by the mar
rowest. of margins, though. Both had
Jacks, tens, trays and deuces in sight.
but Sans eight was a notch higher
than Pete's seven. He staked Pete
with $500 to get out of town.
Sam has won and lost a dozen for
tunes. Three years ago he left Helena
without dollar. Within three years
he had 100000
Twice he started for his old home
in Sweden with a competency, intend
ing to buy a home for his aged par-
ents and give them enough money that
they might live in ease the remainder
of their lives. The first time he lost
his fortune playing faro, and on the
second occasion he went broke at New
Orleans playing the races, and his
friends had to telegraph him enough
money to return to Helena with.
year ago he got a good start and
made the visit, and his parents and
sisters are now safely provided for.
On his return he visited Monte Carlo.
and, while he did not break the bank.
he made good winning He has
gambled at every resort of prominence
in the world.
His losings at Hot Springs this win
ter have reached more than $4,000
and, to show that misfortunes never
come singly, the police have raided his
fine gambling house, dismantIed the
place and seized the bank roll.

parallel is once more abroad in the
land and young authors especially are
warned to be very careful where they
draw their plots and characters. 1t is
possible for the we'll known writer to
appropriate these from others, because
the public know they could have in
vented situations and characters just
as good, but the unknown writer must
be very wary. Kipling can go and take
what e thinks e might require just
the same as Omar did. The folks who
noticed similarity in Homer's tales
to something they had heard before,
"winked at 'Omer down the road and
1t was all right.
Since it was discovered that Mrs.
Humphrey Ward drew her plot for
Lady Roses Daughter" from Julie de
Lespinosse's memoirs, the parallel man
has been hard at work, and before long
it is expected that he will make many
revelations.
Writers of Sea Stories.
1t is a notable fact that many Eng
hsh writer's of sea stories are not Eng
lishmen at all, but foreigners. Joseph
Conrad is a Pole, and Albert Sonnich-
sen, the author of Deep Sea Vaga-
bonds" is a Dane. 1t is possible that
Mr. Sonnichsen might call himself any
thing, for he has made SO many coun-
tries his home and has dwelt under so
many flags. Ever since his early child
hood he has wandered and his ances-
tors wandered before him. None of
the male members of his family, on his
fathers side, as far back as memory
goes, have died in the land of their
birth-Denmark. So Mr.. Sonnichsen
comes naturally by his wander lust.
When q mere lad he found the call of
the sea too strong to be resisted and
deserving the parental roof he shipped
as common sailor. From that time
on his way was the way of the winds.
He blew across all seas and into all
parts, and his experiences during his
years of vagabondage furnished him
the material for his new book, which
is practically an autobiography Some
few Of his experiences have been on
shore-among them a two years cam
paign in the Philippines, which ended
in ten months captivity for him among
the insurgents, about whiAh he has
written book, "Ten Months Captiv-
fty Among the Filipinos"

CARACAS,
VENEZUELA'S
CAPITAL

Especial Correspondence. ]

LDPISArNI
Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 20.-This
city to which the eyes of the civilized
world have been so long directed, Is
one of the prettiest towns on the west
ern hemisphere. At present, however,
it is more Interesting on account Of its
being a storm center of political and
diplomatic activity than on account of
its beauty. Daily and nightly it is
the scene of patriotic demonstrations,
the populace joining in fervid out
breaks against what are termed the
high handed proceedings of Germany
and Great Britain.
Should worst come to worst aud the
allies, as is feared in some quarters,
attempt an invasion of the capital in
order to capture Castro and hold him
as a hostage for payment of their claims,
it is safe to say they will have some
desperate work before Caracas is reach
Cd. The city is only six miles through
the center of the mountains inland from
La GuAyIrl, but thirty-siN miles by the
Old Spanish road. over which the ma
rineS of the combined force must 90 to
take tA@ capital, should thai eventual
ity come to pass. Sixteen miles up from
the coast along this road. at times broad
and smooth, at times shelving to preci-
pieces. is Il narrow pass, almost impass-
able for a St0rnjNg party. 1t is said
and believed lF NCncZueans that 100
nativoS, Knowing the country. could
hold that pass against 5000 men.
Like all other South American towns,
Caracas is laid out III the most method
ical manner in regular squares of equal
area and equal frontage. divided by
narrow streets running lengthwise from
east TO west and from north to south.
The cross streets, the principal avenues
Of the city, are made Of concrete pave
ment, with sidewalks of cement, while
the less prominent th0r0ughfares are
paved in rough stones. The streets are
numbered from the Plaza Bolivar, a
beautiful park in the center of the town.
There is no variety and no display of
taste in the architecture 81 far as
dwellings are concerned. each house be-
ing exactly like its neighbor and all be-
ing built in the same way and of the
