FORTUNES LOST AT CARDS.
Gamblers Who Have Won Thousands
ct Single Sitting.

The young American millionaire who
is reported to have lost 100000
(f100,000) at poker within "a hours
may derive what satisfaction he can
from the knowledge that, in the his
troy of gambling, few men have ever
squandered so much money in so short
a time.
Colonel Mellish, one of the greatest
plungers of last century, is perhaps his
nearest rival; for it is said that he
was known to have won 100000 at
a single sitting and to have lost it all
at the next: while the climax of his
gambling madness was reached when
he staked 100000 upon a single throw
of the dice, and lost.
Colonel Me!lish, whose boast it was
that he never opened his mouth in the
betting ring under $500, inherited
during his minority one of the largest
fortunes in England; but so prodigal
and reckless was he within few years
he had nothing left out of his vast
estates but one small farm. HodSack
Priory to which he retired. and on
which he died. a broken man, at the
carly age of 81. AT his ancestral seat
of Blythe is still preserved card
table at which he lost 100000 at one
sitting to the Prince Regent.
For more than so years Mr.. George
Payne spent more nights at the card
table than any man who ever cut a
pack During one almost continuous
Sitting of &c hours he lost $4,000, and
within a week he had won every penny
of it back. On another occasion he
and Lord Albert Denison sat uo al
night at Limmer's Hotel. and only
separated in the morning when Lord
Albert, who had lost 100000, was due
at the altar of St. Georges, Hanover
Square, where his brido was awaiting
him; while, it is said. the same pair
once set out together in a coach %
the New Forest and played cards all
dav and far into the night with 800
staked on each game.
Those were indeed days of high play
when at Almack's, as WalDole says,
tine young men of the age lose f10,-

THE TYBURN TREE.
The Tale of Lord Ferrers's Last Tragic
Journey to the GaIlows-

Park Lane was Tyburn Lane, and
1t seems as if the gallows-described
in an old document as "movable'-
at one time stood at its east corner.
In that case the stealthy burglar of
Mr.. Wertheimer's snuffboxes must
nave trodden very near the ignomini-
Gus dust of many a pioneer in his
own profession.
But whether it be Mr.. Wertheimer's
or Lord Battersea's house that stands
on the site of Tyburn Tree, or that
carefully groomed house at the be-
ginning of the Bayswater Road, upon
whose walls hangs the narrow cage
from which lark's song ascends over
the din of the motor bus, the Marble
Arch, itself a movable" marks the
region OF many martyrdom and
many an execution. 1t was there the
ferocious Lord Ferrers was hung in
1850 for numbering his servant.
Horace Walpole's words paint the
picture We'll. He shamed heroes. He
bore the solemnity of pompous and
tedious procession of above two hours,
from the Tower to Tyburn, with as
much tranquility as if he were only
going to his own burial, not to his
own execution" And when one of the
Dragons of the procession was thrown
from his horse Lord FerrerS expressed
much concern, and said II hope there
will be no death today but mine.''
On went the procession, with a mob
slow and laborious. Small wonder that
the age of Thackeray. with Thack-
eray's help, set up its scaffolds within
four high walls. Asking for drink,
Lord Ferrers was refused, for, said
the sheriff, late regulations enjoined
him not to let prisoners drink while
passing from the place of imprison-
ment to that of execution. great in
decencies having been committed by
the drunkenness of criminals in the
hour of execution. and though
said he. my lord. I might think my
self excusable in overlooking this or
der out of regard to your lordship's
rank, yet there is another reason
which, am sure, will weigh with you:
your lordship is sensible of the great
ness of the crowd; we must draw up
at some tavern; the confluence would
be so great that it would delay the
expedition which your fordship seems
so much to DESIRE But decency-
so often paraded by those who out
rage it-ended with the murderer's
death: THE executioners fought for
the rope, and the one who lost it cried

ing, of the dayi"-London Sketch.

man employed, but these instances are
so rare that should not advise any
boy to try it.
The agent may fall into his place
before the elevator boy, but he must
make up his mind on the very start
that the struggle between him and the
janitor will last for years. The janitor
is the real owner of the building. He
is the real agent. He is the 1t. He
stands with his heel on the neck Of
the engineer, and one glare from his
eyes freezes the blood of the scrub
woman. If he finds fault with a ten
ant that tenant has got to go. He
orders the coal or he lets it go. He
has a winter temperature of 100. or
he runs it down to IS. He must be
met heroically. He will begin to call
names. They must be flung back at
him-not vulgarly, but firmly and re-
spectfully. If he calls the boy cub
he must be called a dodo. Every at
tack must be met face to face, and
any time he shows disposition to
make up. the other side must ex-
hibit a conciliatory spirit. 1t will be
never-ending fight but if the boy
stands firm it will always be draw,
and he will find himself respected for
giving as good as was sent.-(Cc py-

Lord. Granville. who died so years
ago. was one of four noblemen who
lost 100000 in one night of card
playing at Crockfords Infamous club.
Jack Mytton, the Squire of Halstead,' .
who declared that "he wouldn't give
straw for life on $4,000 a year"
squanderad 100000 over cards. and
ended his days in the Kings Bench
Prison; Sir John Band lost $4,000
in a few hours in a London gambling
club, and Lord Thanet's card losses
are said to have averaged about $780,
600 a year for many years, while Mr.
Ernest Benzon lost 10000 at cards
in one night at Goodwood and no.
600 in 10 minutes of chemin-de-fer.
OF the gambling Lord Granville it is
told that one afternoon he ordered
his carriage at Graham's, Intending
TO start at once for Paris. When the
carriage came round, however, he was
deep in a game of whist and ordered
the carriage to wait for an hour or
two. Six hours passed, then another
changed at the end of each; and only
after he had sat continuously for "a
hours did the Ambassador leave the
table to start his journey $4,000
And as far back as the records of
card playing go, the story is always
the same. In 1868 Pepys wrote:
Il was told tonight that my Lady
Castlemaine is so great a gamester as
to have won $4,000 one night and
lost f25,OOO in another night at play,
and has played $1,000 and 1880 at
a cast" The niece of Cardinal Maza-
rim won 1,400 guineas at basset off
Nell Gwynne at sitting, and $4,000
from the Duchess of Portsmouth. "in
doing which she exerted her utmost
cunning, and had the greatest salts

Informed me that Mr.. Fox told him
that the deepest play he had ever
known was about this period (1772).

he talked of 100000 lost and won IN
a night" While few years earlier

THE ELEVATOR BOY.
san,rlis, The Veteran, Has Something
To Say.

As an ex-elevator boy. who was In
the profession for thirty years. and Is
now a retired capitalist, I still retain
my interest in the welfare of every
boy who runs an elevator and am so
licitous to see him do well. 1t is
noble profession. 1t does not always
lead to glory and riches, but neither
do those of law or medicine. Some
thing depends upon circumstances.
but more on the boy.
In almost every sky-scraper in
America today there are boys who
will reach the top and leave undyiEg
fame behind them, and there are
others who will dawdle along for
years and amount to nothing. A boy
may go into law, medicine OF engineer
ing for the fun of the thing. but the
profession of running an elevator must
be taken seriously. There is no
humorous side of it. 1t is a solemn
thing from morning Till night. HUI
man lives are at stake every hour in
the day

would not add to the woes of red
headed boys, but 1 must say that of
the thousand elevator boys / have
known not one with red hair has made
a success of it. Most of them have
been failures within three months
Why this should be so is matter
that has been widely discussed but no
satisfactory conclusion has yet been
arrived at. 1t is held by many that
the ascending and descending of the
cage keeps the boys red hair stirred
up. and that keeps him mad.
The boy who sets out to run. an
elevator must make up his mind to
be truthful There IS no position on
earth Offering a boy more temptations
to lie than the cage in a sky-scraper.
He can lie about his wages; about the
number of girls in love with him:
about the Sunday dinners he eats with
the proprietor; about the number of
lives he has saved from day to day.
In fact. the temptation is ever pre-
sent. but 1t must be faced and put
down right from the start. His lies
may make him a hero for a while
but sooner or later he falls with a
dull thud
Vanity on the part of an elevator
boy should be curbed. He may be
ever 50 good looking, but he should
pretend not to know it. If the girls
IN the building praise him he should
take it as a matter of course, just as
Niagara Falls does. When you find a
little looking glass in an elevator, and
the boy preening himself before it you
can make up your mind that he won't
hold his job long.
Many elevator boys cut their ca
reer short by striving for a mustache.
They feel that it will give them dig
nifty and have an effect on the agent
of the building or janitor. The boy
can not make greater mistake than

forgot to take off the selling price

now, because, you see, one leg OF the
pants was shorter than the other, and
the buttons didn't match; his hat was

thrown into the bargain.
