WON BET ON NERVE
Brooklyn Rookmaker Was Game to
the End.

There is a bookmaker over in Will
liamsburg whom | will call Darby.
says writer in the Brooklyn Citizen.
He has a pretty regular customer who
may as we'll be called Jarvin. Last
Tuesday Jarvin had a straight tip that
the horse Schoharie was the surest
thing ever. 1t didn't figure out that
way in the dope. but a little bird-per-
haps the rail bird-had told-Jarvin
to go broke on Schoharie, so he
scraped up 5000. took it to the track
and scattered it among the bookies in
a manner that made him feel some
what more than $1,000 richer.
When the eighteen horses came out
for the first race Jarvin jingled the
90 cents in silver which remained in
MS trousers. He. wasn't quite sure
whether he would buy a yacht or an
automobile with his winnings on the
mount of Odom's, but there was no
question in his mind that the money
was his, OF course. he would wait un-
III after the race had been run he
fore demanding the cash hut that Voc
merely matter of form.
A few minutes later Darby's tele-
phone bell rang and the bookmaLer
over IN Williamsburg answered:

Hello, Jarvin. What's up?"
Il want to put 5000 on First Mason
in the second race. Will you take it?"
Sure" said Darby. You're on.
"GOod-bye."
The bookmaker heard the click Of
the receiver as it was hung up at the
other end. He had intended to ask
Jarvin where he was, but it was too
late now.
Yesterday morning Jarvin called on

Well" said Darby, you've got your
cheek. What would you have done if
First Mason had lost?
Il dunno was the cool reply, Il
suppose I'd have held you up for an

Excelsior of the Standard Oil COM
pany on it's voyage from Rotterdam.
1t was off the coast of Nova Scotia
that the bird. apparently tired out.
took refuge in the rigging of the Ex-
celsior and through it's nature, readily
submitted to capture.
An ornithologist went aboard the
ship at Bayonne today and after the
a rare species in these waters. it was
Gagged and sent to Rockefeller's place
at Tarrytown.
The capture OF the eagle brought to
light a curious bargain that the Stand
ard Oil king had with the masters of
all the ships in his service.
When a bird is captured al sea it is
brought to port and if pronounced by
ornithOlcgists as worthy of a place in
Rockefeller's collection, it is sent to
Pocantico Hills, where. under the
agreement with the captain who made
the capture. Rockefeller keeps it until
the bird dies. when it is stuffed and
presented to the captain as an orna
