Fox as a eamester.

Charles James Fox, the English
statesman, was even more notorious in
the gaming world than he was famous
in the world Of politics. He had
squandered S250O00 before coming of
age. He became one of the most profit
gate gamesters of the vicious days in
which he lived. Some Of his finest dis
plays in debate were sandwiched be-
tween excitement such as would un-
nerve most men who had no serious
business on hand. Walpole has given
a glimpse of a typical passage in this
extraordinary mans life. He had to
take part in the discussion on the
thirty-nine articles in parliament on a
certain Thursday. He had sat up play
ing hazard from Tuesday evening until
5 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. An
hour before he had recovered 100000
that he had lost and by dinner time,
which was o'clock, ended losing $780,
900. On Thursday he spoke in the
debate, went to dinner at past IL at
night; thence to club, where he
drank till Z the next morning; thence
to a gambling house, where he won
$4,000, and between 9 and 4 in the
afternoon he set out on a journey to
Newmarket.

Pirates and Strategy.

The virtuous island of Sark was not
always so. When Edward III. was
king, Sark was haunt Of pirates and
wreckers. Sir A. Conan Doyle in "Sir
Nigel" tells how they lived not upon
the island, "but from what they can
gather upon the sea around it. They
are broken folk from all countries
justice fiers, prison breakers, reavers,
escaped bondsmen, murderers anG
staff breakers who have made their
way to this outland place and hold it
against all comers." The merchants
of Rye and Winchelsea fitted out an
expedition against those scourges Of
the narrow seas. A landing was OBJ
tanned by strategy. Leave was Oh
tanned to bury a supposiitous dead
sailor on the island, the burying party
to come unarmed. But that apparent
coffin was filed with weapons, and so
was Sark cleansed of its evil inhabit-
ants.-London Standard.

When Tea Was Dear.

Those who grumble at the price of
tea should turn for consolation to the
records of its price in early times. At
its first introduction into England,
about the middle of the seventeenth
century, tea fetched anything between
f6 and FLO pound, and though fall
in price quickly took place. the East
India company still had to pay over
"a for the two pounds of tea which it
presented the king. However, even
thus it is doubtful if the tea merchants
got very fat seeing that the importa-
ton Of some 1000 pounds in 1913 was
enough to glut the market for some
years.-London Chronicle.

a Story of Mathews.

Charles Mathews one day previous
to the period of his publicly proclaimed

lot Of money"

English Injustice.

An Australian tourist travelling in
the west of Ireland asked an old wo-
man how far it was to the nearest
town. She sadly looked at him, then
sighed and said:
"It was FIVE nice miles two years
ago, but some English brute came over
with chains and made it seven, and
our hearts are L.oke walking it ever
since. Bad luck to them"
And she disappeared into the house,
leaving him there.-Illustrated Bits.
