Dirty Patauonia.

"Patagonians are not giants, as some have supposed and as the geographies teach" said man who has travelled. ''They are large in comparison with the other South American natives, that is all. Everything is relative, you know. But they are very fat. That is why they can stand the cold so we'll. I have seen Patagonian men and boys running around unclad while I was wrapped in warm garments, with the snow falling upon them in quantities and the wind blowing bitterly. They are kept warm by their fat and dirt. Patagonia is one of the dirtiest places imaginable. Don't go there if you hate dirt. That is my advice to all who contemplate journey to the jumping off place of South America"

A Slang Phrase.

Bull con-" slang phrase which means to fiatter, to praise with ulte- rior motives, had its origin in the west years ago. When the gold brick game was started the bunko men -sprang a fine, high sounding combina- tion of words upon the simple farmers. They called it an investment in bullion consolidated" Years after the words were cut down to "bull con" and came to mean any graft that depended upon the gift of gab. Still later it was used to describe the method of flat tery.-Indianapolis News.

Notwithstanding that it was Sunday !

Notwithstanding that it was Sunday my uncle was eager to renew the play, hoping to win back what he had lost. He argued that to lose any part of the fund with which he had been in- terested would ruin him the same as If he lost the whole. Therefore Sun day afternoon he proposed to the gam bier that they go to their curtained space for more play. The gambler, who knew we'll enough that the youngster would be after him, assent ed, and they were soon at play.
 Of course my uncle lost steadily. His last thousand dollars was slowly melting away when who should walk in but the clergyman. He stood look ing at the game for awhile, then said to my uncle: Boy, you can't play with this man. He's a professional gambler and is playing with marked cards"
 Picking up one of the cards lying on the table face down, the speaker, rub ping his thumb on it, said, "The king of clubs" Then, turning it over, his prophecy proved correct. In the same way he told the value of other cards. They were all provided with minute points that could be felt, but not easily seen. Then, turning to the gambler, he said, "Give the boy the money you have won from him."
 The gambler put up vigorous bluff. "What you got to do with this busi- ness, anyway? You're a parson and don't know any more about cards than a mule You just get out of here or I'll find a way to put you out"
 "How much has he won from you, boy?" asked the clergyman of my un- cle
 "Seven thousand dollars"
 "Give me what you have left. The only way can get your loss back for you from this man is to win it at his own game There's honor among thieves. He won't do 1t one way, but he will another"
 My uncle turned over a few hundred dollars he had left. The clergyman sat down, a new pack of cards was brought out, and at it they went At the end of an hour the clergyman had recovered $5,OOO. At the end of the second hour he had lost $500. At the end of the third hour he had regained all but $500 of my uncle's loss, and in half an hour more he had won every cent the gambler had taken. He shov- ed his winnings over to the boy he had saved from ruin.
 ''There's only one man that can get the better of me on any game of cards" said the gambler, "and haven't seen him for eighteen years"
 "Warren Phillips?"
 "Yes''
 "That's my name"
 The gambler looked at him in aston ishment
 'Yes; I was one of the professionals in those days, though I never played any but fair game. But quit it and now look upon it with horror. ran

An Approach to Perpetual Motion.

A clock is to be seen at Brussels which comes about as near being a perpetual motion machine as can be invented, for the sun does the winding. The following is the method by which it works. A shaft exposed to the solar rays causes an up draft of air, which sets the fan in motion. The fan actu- ates mechanism which raises the weight of the clock until 1t reaches the top and then puts q break on the fan till the weight has gone down a little, when the fan is again liberated and proceeds to act as before. As long as the sun shines frequently enough and the machinery does not wear out the clock will keep, in motion.-Pear- sons Weekly.

|MyUncle' sStory By A. B. SEARLE Copyright, 1910, by American Press
 Association.

What change half century has made in methods of travel! In 1850 to reach New York from Cincinnati, then the Queen City of the West, one might go a part of the way by steam boat, another by stagecoach and the balance by canal. In such convey ances people were thrown together in- timately, and lifelong friendships were often made. The passenger canalboat was the first to pass out of use, and there are few living who remember it as method of travel.
 It was in 1S45 that one of these pas senger canalboats was being dragged along by a horse on the towpath. There were no staterooms, only berths something like those on a modern sleeping car. Between these was the cabin, where the passengers lounged during the day and evening. At that time the professional gambler worked in the narrow channels of the period. He was on the steamboat, but did not disdain the canalboat On this canal boat a portion of the bow had been curtained off, and in it were card ta- bles. At one of these tables sat a pro- fessional gambler fieecing a youngster of twenty
 That youngster was my uncle, and l got the story I am about to tell from him.
 He had been deputed to carry some SS,0OO from Pittsburg to Harrisburg. How the gambler knew that he had the money with him he did not learn. My uncle played with the sharper till he had lost all the money that had been given him for his expenses, then began to play with his trust fund. He quit at Il o'clock at night, having lost half of the $S,0O0.
 The next morning was Sunday. A service was held in the cabin conduct ed by a clergyman slightly past mid dIe age. My uncle was much impress ed with his appearance and the fervor with which he spoke. His accent was that of the southerner. My uncle said that the clergyman attacked gambling, telling a number of interesting, many of them pathetic, incidents, in which some foolish person had been robbed of all he possessed. In these stories the speaker showed an intimate knowledge of all forms of swindling at cards. He was looking straight at my uncle while he talked and seemed to be speaking to him personally. Then my uncle remembered that while playing with the gambler he had seen the clergyman standing among those nverIOnkinp the pnme

ton" OF curse the old adage about
new brooms sweeping clean may again
apply. but from the reforms already
inaugurated by the new administra-
ton during its first two weeks there
are indications that the new broom is
going to continue new. and that the
country's greatest municipality with
annual expenses amounting to one
half those of the federal government
is really to be operated with an idea
to economies possible under a man
agement which places business meth
DDS ahead of everything else. At any
rate, the new mayor continues to
walk to his office from his Brooklyn
home. the comptroller has eliminat-
ed automobiles from his department
ard JOY rides in municipal machines
are. for the present at least, a thing
OF the past. Appointments have been
made SO far on merit and not by
favor OF course this approach to a
municipal millennium is not yet COM
plete but the indications already af-
iorded at least give ground for hopes
of improvement.
