How Tillman Lost Eve,

Most people know that Senator Till
man has lost an eye, but few are aware
how he sustained the injury. Although
his brothers were old enough to serve III
the Confederate army, Benjamin was Il
schoolboy Of Is when the Civil war be-
gan. He knew that at 16 he must join
the Confederate forces, and his brothers
wrote back from the field entreating hlm
to get as much education as possible, be-
cause the war might last so long that
he would never again be able to go to
school. Even at night young Tillman
would continue his studies, frequently
carrying a lighted pine knot into the
woods and lying down with his books be-
side it. He was lank, tall silent boy.
dictatorial and brusque, but a natural
student. The heat of the pine torch in
iured his left eye and a plunge in cold
water brought on a tumor that destroyed
it. 1t was the two years illness follow
ing this mishap that prevented the youth
from serving in arms against the Union.

SAYS LIFE IS GAMBLE.
What Richard A. Garfield Has to Say
Of Chance Games.


Of Chance Games.
Life is a gamble. Man is a born
gambler and there always will be gamb-
ling. There would be no life without
gambling. Adam and Eve were the first
gamblers"
Richard A. Garfield, prince of gamblers,
parlor of the Hotel Gotham in Fifth
avenue, New York, the other day.
10 all appearances he was at
peace with the world. The fact that
he had just been ordered by jury to
pay his former lawyer and chum some
thing like $4,000 for legal services rem
dered had not ruff1ed him in the least.
cigar, his special brand. lie was
dressed in dark clothes and soft white
shlft. There was a smile on his sun
burned, clean shaver face.
There are only three things you don't
gamble fcr-your room, clothes, and food.
Everything else connected with life is
gambling: When you seek employment
you gamble for a better place. You go
10 an insurance company and have your
property insured against fire. Don't you
gamble there! Dent you bet the COM
Pany that you will have a fire, and
doesn't 1t bet you that you will not?
When you have your life insured you
enter into a gamble with the insurance
company. When you invest money you
gamble again. and so on all along the
me. Everybody is interested in gam
bllng-eyen the sO-called reformers.
Why did you become a gambler?"
was asked.
1t was my temperament" he an
sWered. in me the spirit OF gambling
was probably more developed than in
others. | became a gambler because
liked to gamble and have been quite
successful
They say you are worth $5,O0O,OO0
or more--that you cleared 100000 a
year i'll the gambling business"
Il am not poor man. was the mod
est reply, but | am not worth all these
millions they talk about.
Il had gamblers chance If you
play with a gambler long enough he is
bound TO win your money. He can't
help but get it. When you play with
me, in round numbers you put up 800,
and against that l put up 500. Now
igure out how long you can keep doing
this. You may win my money now and
then, you may break me temporarily, but
as long as you play against me at the
odds of 100 against 80, in the end I'll
have your money!
Mr.. Garfield added that he left the
details of his gambling house to his sub
ordinates He had not touched a card
himself in twenty years.

Had to Go Home in Blanket.

A we'll known Ishpeming, Mich, young
man had a very unpleasant, but
laughable, experience not long ago.
He accompanied a party of friends
to one of the streams some miles
from the city on a fishing trip. While
wading the stream he fell into a hole,
going down over his head. Being a good
swimmer he had no trouble getting out,
and went ashore. built fire and hung
his clothes on some limbs near by to
dry. He felt tired, and wrapping him
self in Il blanket lay down and fell
asleep. His companions were down the
stream fishing at the time When they
returned the young man was still asleep,
but there We're only few charred bits
of his clothing remaining near where the
fire had been. Even his shoes were de-
stroyed. After enjoying a laugh at the
unfortunate fsherman's expense the par
ty started for home, the young man max
ing the trip wrapped in the blanket.

Old Cannon Ball Exploded.

The explosion of a cannon ball oc-
Cured at Wackley's mill in New Kent
county, day or so ago, when one of
the employees began saving up large
log. The cannon ball had been en-
bedded in the tree ever since the war.
When the saw struck the ball the ex-
plosion followed, carrying away the top
of the bill and SCATTERING the building.
The colored foreman was knocked down
and the noise was heard several miles
away.
Some of the Confederate veterans said
today that the shell evidently had been
thrown from Federal gunboat while

Rubber Heels in Flats.

Rubber heels at the expense of land
lords for fiat dwellers is the latest inno-
walton of renting agents in Washington.
There is a clause in the more recent
leases of apartments that every member
of a family must wear rubber heels Oh
shoes while in the apartment. The in
novation is for the purpose of securing
some manner of quiet in the crowded
apartment houses. In apartment houses
where go-carts are permitted it is speci-
fed that the wheels must be equipped
with rubber tires.
On moving in tenants are sent to a
nearby shoemaker who has a contract
with the landlord to equip their shoes
with the noiseless heels, and consequent
" there is never any complaint OF the
racket overhead" in that house.
Agents say few tenants make any OBJ
lection TO the rubber-heel clause.
