"No, I'm not hulling to-ilny," was
llio reply of a uportin man, III answer
to on inquiry irom nnotiiur 01 tils UK
whether ho had bought nny pools on
tliu rarcs.
"Butted t" wns tho laconic query.
"No but 1 laced ono of ray shoes up
wrong this morning. It's a bad sign.
I'll lot 'em nlonu to-day."
"Aro you superstitious V
"I frankly confess that I am' ho re-
iiltod, as ho lit n clgnr, "and I don't
cnovy of a sporting man or gambler
thnt is not superstitious, and, further,
more, I do not believe thero is a human
being living who is not. Of course,
Fomo aro moro than others, but take
gamblers and horsemen as a class, and
you will find that each ono has his own
peculiar quilp. Now this morning I
laced my shoo up wroug. If I had
left it that way it would have been a
lucky day for me, but I did not I un
laced it, and I'll bot two to one if I
bought a pool on a horso ho would
break his neck before ho caiufc under
tho string."
"Thavs quito interesting. Would
you mind giving mo somo of your ex
pciiences? What do you consider a
lucky omen T"
"You want to know what 1 call a
lucky omen, eh T That's just as tho
Idea strikes me. When I wa-t in New
York last summer I used to count white
horses. Say I - would bo standing at
tho corner of Fulton street and Broad
way. I would tako out my watch
when I had one and time myself and
count thenumbcr of whito horses that
turned from Broadway into Fulton
street in five minutes' time. I some
times would go on tho odd numbers,
and sometimes on tho even. Like this:
If I made up my mind on even horses
and an even number wont by during
tho fivo minutes, then I would be lucky
and visa versa.
"I havo heard of gamblers visiting
lorluno tellers tor turn. Uo you ever
visit them 1"
"Many a time, sir. Here's ono in
etanco : I am a red-hot Repnblicau, and
was backing Jim Blaine to shcol and
gone, when 1 went one day to seo a
fortune teller. Says she: "'You have
been making foolish bets ; so and bet
the other way all that you have all
tho money you can get or borrow.' I
told her 1 whs betting on Blaine, and
she said 'Wait.' Tbeu went into
another room and camo out in nbont a
minute. 'Clevelnnd will bo elected as
sure as vou sit in that chair, but ho will
never servo bis term out.' That was a
paralyzer, but I took stock in it, lor
tho never fooled me in her life. I hedg
ed and net on Urovcr, all on ner ac-
' count, and made $2000 clear above my
hedge- and of Kelly the bookmaker,
"Hero's another instance from the
same woman : I bad been playing in
hard luck till I only bad $12 left. I
went to her and told her how I was
fixed, and that I wanted a tip on the
races. She told me to read the names
of the horses to her. I did so, and
when I got through the list sho said,
.mi r a T . i i T - 1
'iiiiora is too oniy one i am Buro oi
bet your money on Tilford. I went
down to the track, and when the hor
ses went to tho post there were only
four tickets on lim. Ibis was a bo
nanza, you know if he won. I bought
one $5 ticket. The track was a re"u
lar duck pond, slosh up to tho horses'
knees. Til ford camo in last. Oh, I
forgot : ho was entered for two races
that day. The next race ho was in I
heard that Mike Daly, who owned him,
wanted to scratch him, but tho judges
wouldn t have it. That wasn t very en
couracing, but I stuck to bitn and
put my last fiver on him. His jockey fan
ned him every jump and brought him in
a winner by two lengths. I got $500
odd dollars for my $5 ticket So much
for fortune-tellers tips. Some fortuno-
tellcrs are snide, but tako one educated,
or that has it naturally born in them,
and they get there as a genoral rule,
"You gamble with cards do you T"
"Oh yes : 1 make my living as a
sporting man."
"Does your superstition affect you
in pwiof! cards r
"Yes, indeed. If I am going to play
cards lor money l always hunt up a
beggar nnd give him some money for
luck. I have walked sometimes two
miles to find a beggar, but I don't have
to uo it here. Thero is one on overy
corner. 1 know a gambler in .Now
York who goes daily to an Italian on
Gieene street, who has these little
canaries who tell fortunes by pulling
an envelope out of a pack. He always
lollows the advice ot the bird, and J
have actually teen him shed tears over
Homo of tho slips he got not from
grief, but from vexation if it went a-
gainst bis grain.
"Havo you over been at any of tho
European gambling places 1"
"Oh, yes. I wns at Monaco."
"How does the thing work there!''
"Oh, the same there as any win i ts
else. I suppose when you wero a bov
at school and chose, sides for town bail
you tossed up for innings by spitting
on a stick and calling 'wet or dry' for
choice, haven't you ?''
"Yes many n time."
"JIa, ba! Well ono evening I did
tho same thing at Monaco. I threw
up a stick and called 'dry," and dry it
was I went and played roulette". I
quit 20,000 francs winner at midnight.
I havo had gamblers tell mo that they
acquired tho habit of trying their luck
in different ways, but I claim it's not a
habit it s nature, born in a man, and
it never comes out. Why, I know
dozens of people who laugh at super
stition, that will have a regular case of
the dumps if tlicy see tho new moon
over their right Bhoulders for tho first
time. They think if they see it over
their left shoulders and mado a wish
they will get their wish."
