BETTING ON a. Certainty.

Peter Schemm, says the Philadelphia
Times, was fond of telling the story of
a German typesetter who had been
boasting of his capacity for lager.
"Youse Dutchman," he was told by a
bartender, don't drink as much beer
as people says youse dor
"Of course not" Clipped in one Of
the customers. "And I'll bet you,
Dutchy, you can't drink bucketful."
The German was lost in thought for
a moment and then hurriedly rushed
from the saloon, while the others roar
ed with laughter. His Boosting was
still the topic of conversation when he
returned, five minutes later, and calm
ly said:
'I'll take that bet"
The money was posted, bar bucket
holding five quarts was filled and the
German promptly drank the beer and
took the So. Nobody questioned that
he had won fairly, but one of the on
lockers asked:
Say, what did you leave the saloon
for that timer"
"Why," he said as he winked with
the air of q man who was far too smart
for his fellows, II yust went down to
Schmidts and drank a bucket to see IL
l would be safe in taking dot bet"

the strike at Jose's, where he had
made the stand and driven the drink
maddened crew into the corral and
there held them until the fumes of bad
whisky and pulque had passed. Here
in came part of the mystery. When
Jose had endeavored to thank him,
Pete had fioored the whole crowd by
giving Jose a talk on the folly of keep
ing barrels of whisky in easy reach Of
such devils as the compound of Indian
and greaser that made up the per-
sonnet of Jose's ranch. And the most
startling feature was that in his ex.
element the vernacular of the border
slipped aside and he spoke in the cul-
bred son of the east. He had never for
gotten his mask since.

The Great ViIocq.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Arras in 1915. He began
life as baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was a notorious thief.
and after many disgra ceful adventures
he enlisted in the army. In 1916 he re-
turned to Paris with some money.
which, however he soon squandered.
Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight
years hard labor for forgery, but re-
peatedly escaped, and in 1903 he be-
came connected with the Paris police
as detective.
His previous career enabled him TO
render important services, and he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade,
chiefly composed of reprieyed convicts.
which purged Paris of the many dan
gerous classes. In 1918 he received
full pardon, and his connection with
this service lasted until about 1925.
when he settled at st. Mande asa pa.
per manufacturer. Soon after the reyo-
luton OF 1890 he became political de
tective, but with little success. In 1S4S
he was again employed sunder the re-
publican government. but he died PEN
niIesa In 1867.

RUSTY PETE'S

Through the long hot summer Mi
guel's tepee had stood in the little
grove of stunted mesquite a few hun
dred yards from the gate of the corral
1t had been a long drought, and the
cattle grew thin on the brown wisps
that should have been tender grass.
John faced the situation as best he
could, but he growled and grumbled
through the scOrching days and tossed
in restless sleep through the sultry,
endless nights. Rusty Pete swore
louder and drank deeper, while Miguel
prayed to his Lady of Guadalupe" to
send the cooling rains, making sundry
promises the while that were writ In
water.
Bright Eyes, lazy and shiftless as
ever, lounged in the open door of the
tepee, while the papoose, now past
the swaddling blanket, tunbled around
her feet like an overgrown kitten.
Down in the corral there was the
rattle Of the dice. John made 1t a
point never to interfere with the men
so lorg as their games were orderly,
and there were many idle hands on
the AlohO just then.
Pete lounged in corner of the mems
quarters by himself. The battered old

THE ELEPHANT READY FOR MOVING
pachyderm that for many years has
stood on the beach at South Atlantic,
just below Atlantic City. n. j.
The waves raised by the big Novem-
Der storm undermined the elephant,
and for time 1t looked as if the queer
structure were done for.
Public spirited citizens came to the
rescue, however, and put the elephant
on its feet" This was no easy task,
as the elephant weighs many tons and
is about fifty feet high. For over a
week twenty men labored with jacks
and derricks and at last got it into an
upright position. Rollers were then
placed under the leviathan and it was
moved to new foundations.
