great gambler and a good loser. often
stalking thousands OF pounds. One
night he played at Walters club, and
when he rose from the table he was
n pauper. Not only TINT, but heavily
In debt.
He wandered out Into the London

crooked sixpence. In whimsical mo-
ment he returned to the club md
matched 1t with chance friend. He
won, matched again and again, and
won each time. The game changed
to shilling matches, and then TO gold
pieces, and Brummell at the end OF
n few minutes found himself with two
or three pounds. He went to the
ginning table, sat down, and when
dawn came and the game closed ne

100000 The crooked slxpence he cnr-

after he lost it his bad luck arose

Tie oil magnate. Mike Murphy. who
passed away not long ago, was fortu-

their fathers consummate ability, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. One of them.
John, tells this story OF a recent visit
to certain section Of the country,
where he was careful to do as the peo-
pie did, and to conform with social
usages as he found them.
At the table the venerable host
poured coffee into a saucer. But the
hosts son drank 1t from cup. That
made the host angry. "Why don't you
sarse your coffee?' he beloved at the
son.
Its all right this way, father" an
swered the young man, mildly.
''Son, II your dedication is goin' to

Hawaiian ukclelcs have become one
of the most popular musical instru-

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 14.-(A. P.)-
Tense political situations will confront
the Meighen government when the
fifth session of the 18th parliament OF
Canada Is opened. Reverses suffered

provinces. farmer members favoring

Fordney emergency tariff bill. now be-
fore the United States senate. 1t is
