was a Well known character about the
race tracks IN this section of the cOun-

owner Of Woodcutter, as game a little
horse as ever looked through a bride.
and who. according TO hOrsemen. was
simply raced TO death by his owner.
While the old man was far from being
well fixed in this worlds goods. he was
the possessor of an appetite for wine.
He never drank anything else. In the
old days at Gutenberg it was his GUS
tom 10 hang around the club house and

1t was during the last winter that

on the hill, said Mr.. Mccormick. in
telling the story recently, that old
Jack got the best of Us all in The mat

started a little quiet poker game in the

looked on. Finally he dropped into a
vacant seat ana bought d s. stack
few moments later somebody suggested
a drink to be taken out of the kitty
and Jack promptly OTderedl a bottle.
III was served and he drank il, and l
think he anteed just once without hav-

UP and cashed in $4.75. Nobody paid
any particular attention tC him and no
body thought of the wine: all Of Us. Of
course. knowing that Re drank nothing
else. But after the same trick had heen
played half a dozen times we finally
tumbled TO the Old mans game About
the same time every evening he would
drop into the game and buy s. worth
Of chips, ante once or twice at the most,
