Andrew Jackson was magnanimous
in his treatment Of Weathersford, the
famous Greek chieftain, when that
warrior surrendered. Weathersford
had done all in his power to prevent
the horrible massacre at Fort Minis,
but most of the frontiersmen were bit
ter against him, and Jackson himself
had sworn to put him to death if he
were taken.
One day after the power of his peo-
pie had been utterly broken Weathers-

Every visitor to London who has
passed down Piccadilly has probably
remarked the imposing home of the
Deyonshire club at the southwest cor
ner of St James street Within this
building the highest gambling in the
world has probably taken place, the
sums won and lost at Monte Carlo be-
ing nothing to those that changed
hands here. The entrance was origi-
nally from the Piccadilly side. and
many changes have been made In the
interior arrangements, but some of the
gilt chairs that were used by the high
rollers of seventy years ago are still
preserved In the clubrooms.
The proprietor of this club was orig
inally a small fishmonger named VIII
liam Crockford, who had a shop near
Temple Bar. His first venture in club
proprietorship was to take Walters
old house, where hazard, the Ameri-
can game of craps, was the chief at
traction. In this he had a partner
named Taylor. and they both made
money, but at the end of year they
separated. and Crockford went to st.
James street. where he prospered so
well that he instructed the Wyatts to
prepare plans for a new building.
This was opened in 1927. and. al
though it was a proprietary club
Crockford was shrewd enough to in
vest committee with the right OF
election to membership. move to
which many persons attribute his i'm
mense success. Among the first of the
names presented was that Of the Duke
of Wellington. and almost every man
of note in England was either mem

bling clubs in the world, situated on
St James street, made it his rule to
attend to his guests in person when
ever exceptionally high play was In
progress. knowing that he would be
well repaid for his time. Upon one
occasion. after picking up counters to
the value of nearly $1,000 from the
floor. he received a gift of almost as
much from Harvey Combe. who had
been playing from Monday evening
until II O'Clock on Wednesday morn
ing, Sir John Malcolm. Tippoo Smith
and Ward. the member of parliament
for London. being the other players at
the table.
Some of the proprietary clubs adopt
ed curious rules to attract and keep
their customers. One of the chief diff
ficulties then. as now, was to insure a
game from any one that might happen
to drop in at odd hours. One of these,
nicknamed the Nerve Ending club. had
bylaw that no player should quit a
table until fresh arrival was ready
to take his place.
One very popular feature was to pro-
vide light silken curtains which could
] be drawn between the faces of the
/ players so as to conceal from an ad-
versary any unguarded expression OF
disappointment or Of triumph upon
| picking up a hand or following the
course of play.
1t was at this club that Fox lost q
| large sum of money to Lord Barry
more, who took advantage Of the con-
| cealment of his own face to study the
reflection of Fox's cards in the large
polished steel buttons which he wore
! upon his coat.
At the corner of Bolton street and
| Piccadilly was Walters club, which
| Byron records was superb club in
| 1915. Beau Brummel played here reg
ularly for ten or twelve years, but the
| club eventually fell into disrepute
through the want of proper superyi
/ sion of the admissions to membership
Swinburne says in his Courts OF
Europe that 1t was in this club that
player upon seeing the witty Lord
Alvanley enter the room and, dreadine
his satirical tongue. laid down his
cards and pulled out pair of pistols
which he laid on the table beside him
The only comment of Alvanley was:

versary to follow suit?"

about and practiced the art of cooking
after this manner. But it was forgot

economy Of energy and fuel that it
has come to stay. There are some

NJ HOUSEKEEPING has always
" been hampered to certain ex-
tent by tradition and some su-
perstition. Until recently few
women thought Of making investiga-
lions for themselves regarding ques-
lions In general housekeeping, the
word of some great-grandmother being
usually sufficient The fact that the
grandmother had no opportunity to
study the laws of nature as seen in
the ordinary process of living did not
disturb the average woman's faith in
her opinion. But now a change is
gradually moving across the country,
and the up to date housekeeper is
alive to anything which suggests i'm
proved and easier methods of work.
She will investigate new plans and
try practicable suggestions which seem
to offer greater facility in her work.
But there Is yet In our midst the con-
servative housekeeper. She is slow to
adopt new methods or to provide new
and better equipment for her work.
