Now That Money Is Scarce, the New
York Gamblers Are Taking No
Chances.
Rea! money is becoming criminally
scarce with the gambling fratdraity
° here, says the New York Press. The
stopping +’ rucing cut of one source
of income, and the recent exposures
of the crooked games which are being
operated, broadly speaking, in every
New York zambling house have also
lessened the boob crop. A hundred
dollar bili. dashed rear the corner of
Broadvav and 43rd street, would
probably cause a dangerous stampede.
The old-timers are resorting to every
possible means to get in the money.
“I got a sucker,” said one of the’
veterar« to another the other day.
“He usd to know me when I was
city clevk of Jiggs Crossings and he
has plenty of confidence in me. I'll
get hin into a three-handed game,
work in a cold deck, ard we'll take
his cron.”
The other old-timer objected that
both wer lacked capital. “We got
our ‘fronts,’ but it will never do to
drop them,” said he. Without dia-
monds aud good clothes a professional
gambler is in a bad way. But the
proposer of the sucker harvest was
insistent.
“This guy'll tumble for good
money.” said he. “Now, youn’ me
can gel ‘our or five hundred dollars
on our ice. That's enough for work-
ing caplisl. We'll work along. and
when I get a good chance I'll send in
the cold hand. I'l dedl you four
kings and give him four queens, and
he'll bet his head off.”
“He's io have four queens, hey®
said the other. “And me four kings”
All right. I'll go you. But I'm going
to go through that deck first and take
all the aces gut”

Young Man's Novel Test of Sweet.
heart's Affection Satisfied Him
on One Point.
Alphouse Marron of Paris, a
Young man of independent means.
has found a2 novel way of testing his
flancee’s affection, with the result
that the engagement is now broken
off,
He called on the girl, Mile. Suzanne
Roix, and after a few minutes’ con-
versation, during which he affected
great mental depression, he asked her
for a drink of water. As he took the
glass from her hand he produced a
tiny phial from his pocket, and, emp-
tying the contents into the water,
drank it oft before she comld hinder
him. His face then contracted and he
sank a helpless mass on the floor. He
had only time to beg his sweetheart’s
forgiveness’ before he expired, as she
thought.
Unfortcaately for Suzanne, Al
phonse wus not even unconscious, and
he was ulie to watch the effect on her
of his ow: death. Without the slight-
est shaw of sorrow she hastened to
the telepiione and rang up the police
station 1 say thar 2 suleide had been
commitizd in her anartments, and heg-
ging that the body might be removed

This wis too much for Alphonse,
who promptly resurrected himself and
left ihe Louse, after telling his former
sweethenti what he thought of her.
By His Own Confession.
When joseph P. Johnson arrived in
Washington as a member of the Unit-
ed States senate {rom the glorious
and gellaut State of Alabama, says
The Popular Magazine, Senator Bur-
rows, of Michigan, took a great fancy
to him. One day in the cloak-room
Burrows turned to another senator
and said:
“DuPont, stand up. 1 want you to
meet Johnston, of Alabama.”
The wan from Delaware rose to his
Tee.
“DuPoui,” sald Johnston, taking the
proffered haad, “I believe you're the
infernai! Vaukee who shot me at Ce-
dar Creek.”
“Well, well!” commented the Dela-
ware scoator, somewhat puzzled.
“What makes you think so?”
“I see by the two’ pages of your
biography in the Congressional Direc-
wry,” explained Johnston, “that you
commanded practically every regi.
ment in the Union Army during the
Civil war, Some infernal Yankee
shot me, and I think it was. you."
Remarkable Tumble,
The Yankee tourist was in great
form. His tales of the terrible scenes
he had witnessed raised his hearers’
hair.
Then ihe quiet little Englishman
spoke.
“Saw a man once,” he said slowly,
“fall off the top windowsill in a build-
ing 20 stories kigh. Never hurt him
a bit—just annoyed, that was all”
“Nonsense!” they cried and would
have jeered him fo scorn.
“Fact!” said the little man. “Up
there ite was, cieaning the window,
and he foil right off.”
“That's rot!” exclaimed the man
from (he states. “Tell me how he
did it!” :
“Weil, you see,” drawled the quiet
one, “it was rather lucky for him—but
he happened to fall inside!"—London

Mrs. Newlywed Had Done Her Best,
but Black Coffee Was a Thing
Unattainable.
After the honeymoon came the cozy
flat, Young Mr. Benedict was mighty
proud of his wife, even if she was
from the country, and eager to show
her to his cronies.

for dinner and good old Dick and nice

Promptly at 6 came Mr. Benedict

privately.
“Well, how about everything, little
woman. Got all the stuff together?”
“Ye—yes, dear,” replied small Mrs.
B. with jyst a shade of reservation in
her voice. “I've got the crown of chops

His Daduction,
Eugene Conner, son of F. D. Con-
ner of the Guardian Bank, who lives in
Roxbury road, East Cleveland, is a
stulious lad, says the Leader. More-
over, he is given to deduce his own
facts without much scientific inves-
tigation. He attends the Prospect
school in the Stamb 'rger village, long-
ing for the time whem he may at-
tend Shaw High.
Eugene's teacher asked him one
day this week what the principal prod-
uct of the cod was.
“Codliver oil,” was the instant re-
ply. He knew that. And he never did
like it.
“And what is it we get from the
seal?” continued the teacher,
“Sealing wax,” responded the
youngster.
Aeroplang in War Game.
For the first time the aeroplane
has been used in France to register
the results of firing practice by siege
artillery batteries. Six batteries were
firing at the Chalons camp the other
day, ang an attempt was made to
register the results by means of a bi-
plane. The air was in such a boiling
state owing to the heat that the bi-
plane proved useless. Lieutenant
Rose then mounted a monoplane,
flew over the line of. batteries at a
height of 500 yards, and in a flight of
three minutes was able to observe
the fire of the six batteries. Return-
ing, he dropped cards at the feet of
the officers in command on which he
had noted the results. This task has
previously been carried out from cap-
tive balloons.
