The Hornenian I <ted an Argument Tlint Made the Crooked Rider'n Teeth Chatter While He Got Ont All the Speed In the Animal. In the lobby of a hotel the other evening a number of men were discuss ing sports and sporting i ' e 1 subject of nerve and grit - of the party, a well known Californian. who knew "Lucky" Baldwin in the old days, said: "Baldwin was about the hardest man ; to be chiseled out of anything he set ' his heart on getting that I ever met up with. A whole lot of people tried to put it on him in business and other sort of deals, but none of these ever sue- ( ceeded in catching 'Lucky' Baldwin sufficiently asleep to make their plans stick. "Horsemen still talk about a funny game in which Baldwin figured on one of the Chicago race tracks a number of years ago. Baldwin had brought his magnificent string of thoroughbreds to ; Chicago to make an effort to annex the j swell stakes that were then on tap on the tracks in the windy town, and he j got them home first or in the money in many of the biggest events. Well, he I had one of his finest horses entered in a valuable long distance event, and i Baldwin was particularly anxious to j win this race, not so much for the I purse end of it as for the glory of cap- j turing the stake. Ilis horse just about j figured to win, too, and Baldwin in- : tended to 'go down the line' on the ani- ' mal's chances, not only at the track, but at all of the big poolrooms in the | country. He stood to clean up consid- j crably more than SIOO,OOO on the horse j if the brute got under the wire first. ! Baldwin's regular stable jockey was taken sick on the morning of the race, ] and the old man had to hustle around for another boy to ride his horse in the ' big event. From another horseman lie bought for a big round sum the release of a high grade rider, who was to have taken the mount on a thoroughbred that didn't figure to get near the money in the stake race. Baldwin gave the jockey his instructions as to the way he wanted the horse ridden, and then, when the betting opened, his commis sioners duinpeji Baldwin's money into the ring in such large quantities that the horse became an overwhelming fa vorite. "A quarter of an hour before the horses were due togo to the post a well known bookmaker, to whom Bald win had often exhibited kindness in less prosperous days, ran to where the old man was standing, chewing a straw, in his barn. " 'Baldwin,' said the bookie to the old man, 'there's a job to beat you. and you're going to get beat. Tlicy wanted me togo in with 'em, but you've al ways been on the level with me, and I wouldn't stand for it. The ring has bought up your jock, and your horse is going to be snatched.' " 'Much obliged for teliiug me that,' replied the old man. 'l'll just make a stab to see that the boy doesn't do any snatching, though.' "Baldwin borrowed another gun from one of his stable hands (in those days he always carried one of his own about as long as your aruj), and with his artillery he strolled over the intield and took up his stand by the fence at the turn into the stretch. He hadn't mentioned to anybody what he was go ing to do, and the folks who saw the old man making for the stretch turn simply thought that Baldwin wanted to watch the race from that point of view. He did, for that matter, but lie happened to have another end in view. "Well, the horses got away from the post in an even buncli, and then Bald win's horse went out to make the run ning. The jockey's idea was to race the horse's head off and then pull him in the stretch, making it appear as if j the animal had tired. Baldwin had instructed the Jock to play a waiting game and make his bid toward the fin i ish. The horse simply outclassed his company, however, and he didn't show I any indications of leg weariness what l ever as he rounded the backstretch on the rail a couple of lengths in front of his field. Baldwin co:t!d see. however, j that the crooked jock was sawing the horse's head off in his effort to take j liim back to the ruck. W'lieu tile horses, i were tit HI a hundred feet from him. Baldwin let otit a yell to attract his jockey's attention, and then he flashed his two guns in the sunlight and bawl ed at the jock: " 'Leggo that horse's head, you mon key devil, and goon and win or I'll shoot you so full of holes that you won't hold molasses!' "The jock gave one look at those two guns that Baldwin was pointing straight at liim. Then he gave Bald win's horse his bead, sat down to ride for all that was in him, and the horse under liim cantered in ten lengths to ! the good on the bit. As long as 'Lucky* Baldwin was on the eastern turf after that no jockey ever tried to yank one of his horses."—Washington Pout. Am Awe Stricken Witneaa. "1 weii remember," said a veteran lawyer, "the trial of a case in which Judge Henry T. Backus was doing cross examining. Now, the judge was noted for his lavish use of six footed words, and he used frequently to astound if not confuse an unprepared witness with a plethora of high sound- Hig phrases. The case I speak of was tried In Sault Ste. Marie, and there was a fcifriple, inoffensive Frenchman on the witness stand. He understood little of the attorney's profound inter rogatories and gave his answers in a confused and stammering way calcu lated to ruffle the sweetest temper. Finally the attorney paused in the mid dle of liis cross examination and ob jected because the answers of the wit ness were not responsive. He was ad vised by the court to couch his ques tions In simpler language. Then Judge Baekus, pointing his finger al the meek looking witness and looking him straight in tlie eye, thundered: " 'Sir, I desire you to respond to my interrogatories categorically and with out prevarication or take the conse quences!' " 'Oh!' exclaimed the Frenchman, ris ing fr<HU his chair in fear.

She Dropped the Dlxheloth and After That Fatal Wnrnlnx Spent the Bal ance of the KrenliiK In Telllnn Mr. (•nllnp How She Thought He Ounht to Run the Funeral. [Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.] As Mr. Gallup lighted his tin lantern after supper and started out to buy half a pound of Rio coffee for break fast and call at the postortice Mrs. Gal lup was in excellent spirits and had most of the dishes ready for washing, lie was absent 32 minutes, and when he arrived home he found her huddled up in the big rocking chair, with a pil low behind her head and the camphor bottle in her hand. She took three long sniffs at the bottle and gave three long ilrawn sighs as lie entered, but it was labor thrown away. Mr. Gallup blew out his lantern and hung it up behind the cellar door, and, having deposited the coffee 011 a shelf in the pantry, he removed and hung up his coat and hat, sat down and took off his shoes and then, taking a circular from his pock et and putting on his glasses with great deliberation, began to read. It was a circular regarding a new discov ery in the cure of consumption, and he had not yet finished with the first tes timonial when Mrs. Gallup sobbed four times in succession and faintly asked: "Samuel Gallup, do you know that your dyin wife is present in the room?" He made 110 reply. That testimonial from one who had been cured after his coffin had been purchased made him hold his breath as he read. "Yes; she is present," dolefully con tinued Mrs. Gallup after several sniffs HUDDLED UP IN' THE rtlO ROCKI.VO CHAIR. at the bottle, "and she wants to hev a few last words with you. When you started over town, 1 was singin 'Bar bara Allen' and tliinkin my days might be long in this land. Not five minits later the summons come. I had just started to wash the dishes, and I had that cracked blue platter in my hand, but I hadn't gin it over two wipes when the dishcloth fell to the floor with a great spat. You are hearin what I say, ain't you, Samuel?" Mr. Gallup wasn't. He was devour ing the second testimonial, which gave the case of a woman who had been given up by over 50 doctors, and yet two bottles furnished her with a new pair of lungs. "When that dishcloth fell, I knew that my time had come. That's the way Mrs. Groyer and Mrs. Taylor went. Their dishcloths fell, and in L' 4 hours they was in heaven. I shall be up there by tomorrer night, Samuel, while you'll be free to stay out all night to hear the political news. I'd hev died before you come back home, only I wanted to talk with you a leetle about the funeral. I.et's see. If I die tonight, you'll hold the funeral day aft er tomorrer, won't you, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon?" Mr. Gallup was listening to a noise outside. He heard something to re mind him of a hen trying to crow, and he wondered if it could be that so long after dark. "If you want It a day sooner, you can hev it," continued Mrs. Gallup after sobs and gasps and sniffs at the bottle, "but you must look out or tiie nayburs will talk. Better hev it day after tomorrer, and I hope, for your sake, it won't be a rainy day. I've sometimes thought I'd like a lug fu neral when I went, with over 40 wag ons in the purcession and the church bell a-tollin and the dogs a-howlln, but I've given that up. No. Samuel, you needn't make any spread over me. I'm one of the kind that kin goto heaven without any hurrah and fireworks. If there is ten wagons in the purcession, I shall be satisfied. Don't you think ten ought to be 'uuff for a person like me?" It wasn't a direct questiou, but had It been Mr. Gallup would not have answered. He was devouring the third testimonial and making up his uiiud to try a bottle on the sly. "Ten wagons in the purcession, Sam uel, and the bells needn't toll nor nuthin else happen. If anybody is diggin taters or inakin soft soap or dyein carpet rags, they needn't stop on my accouut. If 25 people come to the house, that will be 'uuff. We've got 'leven chairs altogether, couutin them with broken backs, and Mrs. Walters will lend you the rest. You'll hev our own preacher, of course, but he needn't goon for an hour or two and tell hew ! good I was and how much you'll miss I me. If he says that my toil is o'er, and that you won't never find a more savin wife, that'll be about 'nuff. Shall you do any eryln at the funeral, Samuel'/" No answer.

How ever, you won't never liev togo up there ag'in. When you git ready to buy me a gravestun, you kin send it up by a man. I s'pose you'll buy a stun soniH wort, won't yon?'' Mr. Gallup didn't hear, in the fourth testimonial a man declared that he had been saved after one whole lung and three-quarters of the other were gone, audit was a sketch to thrill the reader clear down to his toes. "Of course 1 don't kocr about no gravestun for myself," said Mrs. Gal lup as she tried to wipe away her tears with the glass stopper of the bottle, "but if you don't put one up the nay burs will call you stingy. (Jet a cheap one, however. If you kin git one fur $lO and trade a lot of carpet rags In, I'd do It. I used to think I wanted a whole lot of readln on my urn vest Blowu To Atoms.

No, Samuel, you needn't—say a word—about them things. Make It—a cheap—gravestun, and you needn't—never go up there— and—and"— And when Mr. Gallup had finished the testimonials and fully determined to buy at least three bottles and hide them in the wood shed he rose up, yawned and stretched and looked around to find Mrs. Gallup asleep and the camphor wasted on the tioor.

"Gee!" he exclaimed as he spun ' around the corner and went bump into a policeman. "Hollo," ejaculated that worthy, in stinctively grabbing at him; "what's the row?" "There wasn't any," responded the youth. "What are you running liko that for?" persisted the policeman. "I've just been up against a case of spontaneous combustion." "You look too green to burn," chuc kled the bluecoat. "It's on me, just the same. My girl lives around the corner, and I went to see her. 1 thought it was all" "Where does the combustion come in?" interrupted the officer. "Come out, you mean," corrected the youth. "Come off!" exclaimed the officer. "Tell me what the row is before I chase you." "Well, that's what I'm trying to do," pleaded the boy. "The girl's old man and I don't harmonize a little bit, and when he met me at the door lie fired me so suddenly that 1 had vertigo.

Tlie author of"From Edinburgh to the Antarctic," writing of the sailor's habit of grumbling, says: "Tl;e dinners are all the same—that is to say, Mon day's dinners are all alike, and what we have today we shall have this day six months lience. Jack's forefather this day 100 years ago hud the same menu and made the same uncompli mentary remarks about the dishes, and 100 years hence on this day Jack's chil dren will growl over their salt horse and plumless duff." The author also tells this "yarn" to illustrate that Jack's habit of grumbling can't be cured and must be endured: Once upon a time there lived a skip per whose wife said to him that if she went to sea the poor men would never find fault with their food. Her hus band took her with him on a voyage, and the good woman attended to the cooking In the galley herself. The seouse was thick with fresh veg etables, the bread was white and with out weevils, the meat was good, and the duff was almost half plums, but still the men growled. Then the skipper's wife thought of the hens she had brought on board to lay eggs for lier husband's breakfast. She took them out of the coop, wrung their nocks with her own fair hands, plucked them, roasted them and sent them to the forecastle on the cabin china. "Now the men," she said to herself, "will know how much we think of their comfort." At eight bells she stole forward to the forecastle to listen to the praise of her skill as a cook. She looked down the hatch and saw a big black fist plunge a fork into the lion and heard a hoarse voice growl, "I say. Bill, what d'ye think this 'ere bloody fowl died of?" A DOMESTIC JAR.
