Cowed the Gamblers.

Speaking of the action of steam
ship captain who compelled three gam
blers to return to fellow passengers the
money which they had won on trip
across the Atlantic, a. merchant who
makes the ocean trip frequently said:
'"There are other ways than crying to
the captain in such cases. Two years
ago I was a passenger on a liner and
sat in a game with some people who
at first appeared to be all right. I lost
and discovered that l was being done.
I knew that a word to the captain
would bring my money back, but pre-
ferred to be my own champion. I
wrote a note to the man who had made
the largest winning from me and gave
it to the smoking room steward to de-
liver This was in the note: I am on!
You will never be off unless you make
good. Hand the bearer there / filled
in the amount of my lossl and We'll be
even The crook knew I meant bust
ness and turned the amount over to
the steward for me. No one was the
wiser for my experience, and the polite
bow with which the card man saluted
me when we went ashore at Hoboken
would have made any one think we
were the best Of friends."-New York

Tri-State Mining Association.

The following is from a circular
just issued by the president and Sec
rotary of the Tri-State Mining asso-
ciation:
The next meeting of the Association
is to be held in Milwaukee. The date
has not yet been definitely settled by
the executive committee but it prob
ably will be in the early part of May.
The Citizens Business league of that
city has taken the matter up and
Mayor Becker has signified his inten-
ton to take an active part in the
meeting, and will deliver an address
of welcome. A tender of convention
hall has already been made.
It is intended to make the ore ex-
hibit at Milwaukee the largest and
best display of lead and zinc ores
ever made in the State. Members
are requested to secure specimens and
hold them in readiness to be shipped
when called for. Write to the Secre-
tary when you have them ready. In
addition it is expected that the manu-
facturers of mining machinery and
appliances will participate and if a
suitable place can be secured dis
play will be made"

What Napoleon Owed a Drummer Boy

What Napoleon Owed Drummer Boy.
To Andre Etienne Napoleon owed a
debt he could never repay. Andre was
a drummer boy at the battle of Arcola.
The canal at Arcola was Napoleon's
Rubicon, for there it was decided that
he and he alone should rise to unpar-
alleled power, the phenix bird from the
ashes Of the terrible revolution. But
be would not have won without Andre.
His troops were ragged, footsore and
half starved. The battle was going
against him. All seemed lost. Sud
denly Andre leaped into the canal and,
holding his drum above his head, swan
across and on the other bank beat an
irresistible charge. The French SOL
diers rallied, and in a few moments
Napoleon's great victory was assured.
Thus by this lads heroism were the
fruits Of his genius brought within the
reach of the worlds conqueror, for Ar
cola proved the turning point in his
glittering career
