A New York travelling man was tell
ing stories of "Toothpick Tom,' ia

his wits as a gambler. Tom was
known far and wide, not only because
Of this gambling mania, which was In
sattable, but because of his quaint wit
and originality. He was an illiterate
and could neither read nor write, but
In the course Of his career he handled
perhaps a little more than the average
gamblers share Of coin raked in across
the green cloth.
Zone afternoon Tom woke up with
healthy appetite for breakfast" said
the New Yorker. "He found on in
vestigating his pockets that he had a
five dollar gold piece, and he set out

hunger. But just as he was about to
enter the restaurant he suddenly rec
ogniZed the entrance to the next place
as the one leading to q gambling house
which he had not visited for some
time. Tom paused. He felt himself
torn between two emotions, hunger
and the spirit Of gambling.
SHOULD he risk his gold piece on the
faro table or the roulette or should he
eat? That was the question. He might
make killing in which event, Of
course, he would eat sumptuously.
Then, again. he might lose and face
starvation. The natural thing for Tom
to do was to leave 1t to chance.

Dear Nj
Once more it becomes my delight
full task to reply to another of your
ever welcome letters. Yours of the
18th of April was duly received, but
until now / have not had a moment
to spare. We have just returned
from an expedition into Alabama,
being absent about twenty days. 1t
was the hardest trip we have had
during the war. We skirmished
with Roddy, the rebel chief, for
twelve successive days. He would
fight and fall back. In the morning
our artillery would shell the woods
and through the day we would ad-
vance in line of battle most of the
time. At night our pickets would
be within speaking distance of
theirs. One night l was on picket
in command of my company and a
company of the Fifty-second Illinois.
We were stationed near a house
which was inhabited by a widow
Between us and the rebels was a
creek and the widow had a son
standing on picket within fifty yards
of the house. She wanted to go
and see him but l could not permit
her to do so. Rather hard, was it
not? She was kind old lady. She
told me her son had been conscript-
ed. Such is war. The object of
the expedition was attained and now
we are all safely lodged in our old
quarters. They have commenced
giving furloughs to enlisted men,
and ! shall send two home right
away | am happy to hear that you
have got your diploma. 1t should
be our aim in life TO endeavor to
improve ourselves and attain the
highest success in life. 1t is a firm
belief of mine that almost any object
can be gained by proper application
