Experiences of An Amateur.
(New York Evening PostD


A young man who had accumulate
cd fortune Of about $4,000 was
persuaded to sit in at a poker game
in the famous chamber of horrors in
Uncle joe CannOn's home at Dan
Vile, Ill. Now these are no "piker"
games. A stake Of at least $5 900 is
required as starter, and $4,000
jackpot is not unusual. The young
man bought his $4,000 worth of
chips. Within half an hour he had
lost them all. He was induced to
take another $4,000 worth. These,
like the first, sOon>went glimmering.
He started to leave the table, but
the voice Of his host arose in gentle
admonishment.
"Oh, be a sport" said Uncle Joe"
Take out $4,000 worth this time.
Maybe you'll win something"
With cold perspirationg bespang-
ling his brow the young man invested
his last cent. Luck continued to go
against him, and midnight found him
bankrupt. He confessed that he was
broke" and had nothing he could
mortgage.
Don't let that worry YOU" said
'uncle joe imperturbably. "You're
young yet. You may live to be as
old as | am. Then you can pay 1t
back. Well take your note for
some more chips"
The young man gave his note for
$4,000. Soon after he gave ano-
ther for the same amount. At last
his Indebtedness ran up to 100000.
Then his luck changed. BY morning
he had won back all his losses and
nearly $4,000 more. Somebody
. suggested that they cash in. The
young man showed his chips toward
Uncle Joe" Nonchalantly the ex-
Speaker counted them, reached into
the cash drawer and handed out
$12.18.
"In the last analysis, young man."
said Uncle Joe, softly, and with Sc
raphic smile, 1--WE settle these little
matters on the usual basis Of one

the work Of eradicating the tick was
inaugurated, nearly 100000 square
miles have been cleaned for all time.

Wicked Witch BoldegrOn

Once upon a time two poor children
were left alone in the wide world.
Their mother and father had died
| from hunger. Rosine was the name
of the girl, and Imine was the name
| of the boy If they could not get
food in three days they would surely
! die. The poor children wept and wept
| for their dear mother and father. Ros-
| inc and Imine were twins and both
were twelve years old. They always
quenched their thirst in a dense forest
near their home. Between two rocks
in this forest spring water trickled
| down.
The owner of the house turned the
two children out All by themselves,
Rosine and Imine set out toward the
! forest. Soon they reached the forest.
Tired and hungry they fell asleep.
! In this dense forest there dwelt a
witch, whose name was Boldegron.
| She had lived in this forest three hun
dred years. One day as she was out
on her travels in a chariot drawn by
! four flying serpents she arrived on the
spot where Rosine was sleeping. Now
! this witch was full of mischief. She
loved to kill everybody she saw.
Delighted at seeing a human being,
she picked up the poor girl, placed
her in her chariot and rode home
with her. Before the witch Boldegron
arrived at the spot where Rosine was
sleeping Imine wandered off to a diff
, ferent part of the forest in his night
mare. When Rosine awoke she found
herself inside an oak tree. What an
oak tree! 1t was the biggest oak she
had ever seen. she was frightened al
most to death at finding herself in an
oak tree. Nearby stood the witch
smiling.
With courage Rosine exclaimed.
Where am I?'
You are in home, of course" re-
piled the witch.
What kind of home. and whose
home is it?" answered the girl.
You are in good witch's home,
and if you don't obey my commands
! will cook you for SOUP" said the
witch.
The girl. frightened still more. re-
piled, II will obey, I will obey.
"All right" said the witch, then
everything will go well"
the morning. Boldegron did not feel
like killing her now.
Rosine had TO obey the witch's
command since she was in her power.
As 1t was already night the witch
made the girl lay on the floor till
morning.
In the meantime Imine awoke. To
his surprise he did not see his sister.
He then determined to seek her until
he would find her. He started off into
the forest a little further. Tired and
hungry he sat down to rest. What
