itory of Wisconsin University, ar
rived home Thursday. On a recent
small pox scare, the residents of

last hasn't a dollar to his name and
nothing to show for 1t. II it wasn't for

At Goldheld, New, Cans netted about

share for winning from Kid Herman
was about the same. Cans receipts from

any ordinary individual four OF five years
al the least, and there are many who
would have deemed the sum a fortune
amply large 10 keep them in comparative
comfort for the balance Of life.
Easy for the sharks.
Not so Cans. Those in Baltimore who
know his habits know that he has a pas
sion for gambling that amounts TO prac-
tically an incurable disease. The denizens
Of Druid Hill avenue who are intimately
acquainted with him know that Cans is
about the "softest thing" in the gambling
line that ever came down the pike,
He IS easier than a child when he gets

hands. Dice have a natural antipathy for
Cans, and Cans never could and never
will learn how 10 play poker, which IS mis-
passion next TO craps. Cans third diver
sion IS the ponies"
One week from to-day Cans got a
"sure-thing" tip from one Of his friends
and sent $500 TO a New York poolroom.
The ''sure-thing' ran last. This heavy
loss set Cans 10 thinking that he could
recoup in a craps game. and he immedi-
ately proceeded 10 buck that particular

the manager Of the company.
The story that he sent a check for sew
cral thousand dollars 70 his mother in
this city soon after he defeated Nelson
has always been taken with a grain Of
salt, and, while IL cannot be positively
denied, no proof has ever been adduced
that the money existed IN hard coin Of
the realm or negotiable securities.
