SHEEDY AND The SHARPs.

The King Gambler Taught the Small
Fry . Lesson.
Some years ago, when st. Louis was
wide open, Pat Sheedy. king Of gam
blers. was sitting in the corridor Of
the Planters hotel with friend. Two
strangers took seats alongside Of Shee-
dy and very shortly turned the CONVEX
sation to poker hands. They had never
seen Sheedy before and did not know
him, but he looked the part Of pros
porous sport and at the same time
appeared like "easy money"
Its too bad" one Of the strangers
said, that we haven't another man
here. We might get up little game Of
draw poker"
"Wouldn't mind sitting in myself"
said Sheedy. with a nudge to bis
friend. II haven't played poker for
some time"
Suppose we play a little showdown
fl or IS limitT" one Of the strangers
said.
I'm agreeable" Sheedy replied. land
l guess my friend Is. Make it 4 five
dollar limit for an hour or two"
Introductions under fictitious names
on both sides followed. and the four
men went to Sheedy's suit. On the cut
for the first deal the speaking stranger
received the honor. The way he han.
died the cards showed that he was
used to that careless abandon method
that can only come from years Of
practice by Il professional gambler.
The suspicious of Sheedy and his
friend were verified by the first hand
shown. Sheedy received three kings.

light on the part Of Sheedy and his
friend.
The next deal was Sheedy's. He
took a long while arranging the cards.
When they were dealt every one in
the party had tours, Sheedy's hand, Of
course, being the highest. The betting
was fast, and when the hands we're

They Never Learn to Tie 4 Knot
Properly. Says Skipper.
Il don't know why it u.s." said the
captain Of the tramp steamer. "but
you can't teach any Of those Chinese
sailors there to tie real knot.
There isn't much need aboard
steamer for the rope knowledge that
used to be so much the part Of
io'cs'le training. but we do need spices
and knots now and again just the
same.
"Those Chinese there. who were
signed on as A. BIS. can do anything
needed in the way Of spices that would
make an old tar green with envy, and
they'll fix up deadeyes better than
most of the men I've shipped.
But you can't get one Of 'em to tie
a right knot. Teach 'em again and
again, and they remember the lesson
for half an hour. Next time there's a
straight everyday knot to be tied the
Chinese fo'c's'le hand makes up the
same old granny.
every child that tries to tie knot
makes a granny. This kind Of knot
is made up by passing the ends around
each other in the reverse direction,
making the ends stand out at right an
giles. The ends should be wound
around each other in the same direc-
ton. When they come out Of the knot
they should lie alongside the line on
either side of the knot. Such a knot
won't slip. But Chinaman can't
learn it for keeps-not he.

Autumn Haze.

"Autumn haze" says a meteor
illogical expert, sis dust composed
of the finest particles of soil, dead
leaves, smoke or ashes from wood
fires, salt from ocean spray, the
shells or scale from microscopic
siliceous diatoms, germs of fungi,
spores of ferns, pollen of flowers,
etc. In the still air Of damp nights
these dust particles settle slowly
down, and the morning air is COM
paratively clear. During the day
light the sun warns the soil, which
heats the adjacent air, and the ris-
ing air currents carry up the dust
as high as they go. Under certain
conditions this layer of dust reaches
higher and higher each day. Dur
ing long, dry summers in India it
reaches to height of 1000 feet,
with a well defined upper surface
that is higher in the daytime than
at night. The reason why we have
more of hazy weather in autumn is
because there is then less horizontal
wind and more rising air."

Fine Fishing Promised


Local fishermen are looking for
ward to the opening of the fishing
season May Is, with expectation of
fine success, for the streams are in
much better condition than usual
and trout are said to have withstood
the winter well, says the Rutland
News.
The snow melted so early this
year and the freshets were all over
by the middle of March and as there
have been no severe rain or snow
storms since the brooks have been
for some weeks almost at summer
level.
The unusually early spring has
made insects plentiful long before
fishing time and even fly fishermen,
who do not look for good sport as d
rule until June |, are expecting that
trout will rise to the feathered de-
lusions on the initial day of the
season this year.

close of the war came to what was
then an almost unbroken wilderness

Mrs French is in comfortable
health. She has always been a great
reader, but of late her eyesight has
become too dim to permit of much
of that enjoyment. Her husband,
Judge Calvin French, died in 1879
Their union of nearly so years had
been an ideal one. She has been a
member of the Methodist Episcopal

sons was killed in the battle of the
