They have just "blown themselves"
for a new bed, an old fashioned, colo
NAL sort of bed, that looks as though
it might have been in somebody's fam
lily for hundred years or 50, and they
think a great deal of it. They have
discussed its many merits time and
again, but it remained for the young
wife to discover one feature Of the
new bed that had never appealed to
the husband.
There's one thing like about the
bed" said she, "about the sideboard,
and the way it's put on"
''What's that?" asked he.

A WOMAN'S QUICK EYE.
1t Was the Means of Gaining Fortune
at Monte Carlo.

Nearly every one who has been to
Monte Carlo has heard of Mamma"
Viaud, a little, bent old French wo-
man, a widow, who played for years.
Mamma Viaud played roulette each
day from morning until night. Her
beady eyes, twitching nervously, saw
nothing but the ivory ball as it fell
into the CELL AS they watched her
staggering from the gaming tables
late at night people pttied her.
Her whole soul, her life, seemed alb
sorbed In the awful desire Of winning.
The old woman at times lost heavily
for her; then she regained her losses.
For a long time she was enabled to
live and continue her feverish pursuit
Of the game.
One night the old woman lost nearly
all her store. AS she passed from the
table, despair in her eyes, her attention
was attracted by another wheel She
stopped and bent over the table.
Again and again the wheel spun
around and stopped. The old woman's
eyes sparkled. A flush suffused her
pallid cheeks.
AS she left the room she clapped her
hands, ana her laugh-a shrill, mock
ing chuckle-startled the gamesters as
OminGus, uncanny.
Better watch the old wOmanw one
Of the official lookouts told q detective
He followed Mamma" Viaud to her
hotel. He listened outside Of her door.
There was no alarming sound. In a
short while she extfnguished her lights
and evidently had retired.
The following evening she reappear-
ed in the gaming hall. Her eyes still
sparkled; her cheeks were still flushed.
With her were several notorious game
sters. They approached table. 'Mam-
ma" Viaud began to play.
She won. The gamblers, who had
loaned her money, watched. She play
ed q second time and won and q third
time and won. The gamblers looked
on amazed and saw the old woman
raking in thousands Of francs.
During the evening the old woman
sat by the table, playing persistently.
Her winnings doubled, trebIed, quad
rupled and piled up about her
The management became alarmed.
a consultation was held. Special de
tectives we're sent to watch her. Scores
had gathered about the table, looking
on breathlessly at her wonderful run
of luck. The detectives reported to
the management that Mamma" Viaud
was playing a certain combination of
numbers that invariably won.
One Of the directors besought the old
woman to desist playing. The bank
would be broke, he declared. She
smiled and continued to play.
The director offered her $4,000 to
cease playing. He doubled the figure
If she would tell him the secret Of her
success. He importuned her to take
100000, $25O,OOO, only cease waging
her successful battle for gold.
Finally he offered her 100000. Ac-
cepting this, Mamma" Viaud, gather
ing together her fortune, told him very
quietly that in passing the table the
night before her quick eye had detect
ed that the ball of this particular
wheel stopped at q certain place at
regular intervals. The managers ex-
amined the wheel, found that it was
out of order and congratulated them
selves upon having compromised with
the old Woman.-Philadelph North

TraiIcd by Indians in New York.

Bishop Hare, Of the diocese of South
Dakota, was sent West many years ago
as a missionary bishop of the Episcopal
Church. He founded the mission at
the Rosebud Indian agency, and it was
his custom to give to each Indian that
he confirmed a silver cross of pecu-
liar pattern.
A few years ago n lady from New
York was visiting in South Dakota, and
the bishop gave her one Of these crosses.
Some years after that there was a
general convention Of the Episcopal
Church held in New York City, and
several Indians were sent as delegates,
all wearing Bishop Hare's crosses.
Arriving in New York, they were
dazed, and at loss to know how to
find the building where the convention
was to be held. But stoically they
started out upon the street. Soon after
they met a lady, whom they immedi-
ately began to follow. Whenever she
turned, wherever she went, they went
too. The lady became much annoyed
and finally thoroughly frightened to
find that wherever she went line Of
red men was trailing behind her.
But investigation explained it. She
wore their cross, and they, seeing It,
had believed her one Of their number.

Folding the Tnblrc'oth.

Table cloths usually wear at the
folds before they begin to show signs
of wear generally. It is true that the
FOLDS are not always made in exactly
the same places, even 10y the same
laundrcss. but they usually are, ana
at any rate the center fold always
comes in the same place. 1t is a good
plan after time TO cut Il small piece
off one side and one end OF the cloth,
for this insures all the folds being
made in new places in the future, thus
giving the cloth fresh start, says an
exchange.
