He was. as every son'bem gentleman

victories wtr the adiairation of his
frieiids. Pete was a g;in,tler by profes

J nerve; so a battle between tbe two
v an certain to be of absorbing interest
When Colonel Wallace heard that
Welch was coming to meet him, he
CHlinly replied he would be reay. He
raid he had a limit fixed, and, if tbe
gambler went beyond that, he wonld
drop tint antl let the money go. Welch
came on, the colonel was notified and
the date aet for the game. It was to
take place in a clnb where no games
were supposed to go on. The colonel
drove to town, met the enemy and a
mmberx;f friends, had drinks ail around
and the two men sat in for a single
handed game. They commented at tl0
jack pots, and at first tbe colonel's luck
htnek t him. He won steadily, bnt tbe
gambler was game and met him.
At lat tbe tide tnrned. and the cards

fierce and took all kinds of chances. 1-using
his bead in a manner, drinking
heavily, while his opioneut coolly play

When Wallace had passed in his Wt

his pile was g-die. TIilu he raid:
"Welch, you've got an even $30,000
there if yon will count it I bronght

been foolish. 1 believe if I had more 1
could get it ail from you in half a dozen
hands."
"I'll gladly give yon a chance, colo

the table.
"Welch." he esid when the eih-n e
gut oppressive, "1 have no m.re ready

"If these gentlemen fay tbe slaves
are worth that much, then fix your pa
pers while I count this money. I never
like to tnrn my back to a good thing.''
Everybody got op and took a drink
on the new game. When the papers
were arranged, the players got a new
deck of cards, and there was not a word
passed while the cards were c ing sbuf
" fled. The sty was to lie the limit nntil
tbe f50.000 was reached. Wallace's
sporting blood waa tip, and he seemed
determined to lose all quickly or get it
back in the same swift gait lie took
desperate chances in drawing and ac
cepted fuoliidi bets.
The end was drawicg near. Welch
was dealing, and bad shuffling oh the
previous hands had left considerable
money in the pot Welch was ahead on
the winnings. The colonel looked at Lis
hand and opened tbe pot for $1,000.
Welch stretched his eyes and then
looked at his band. He raised it $1,000.
Without raising his head the colonel
raised back $2,000, and Welch saw it
Fie went $1,000 lietter, and the colonel
stopped raising. The players were less
t xcited than any of the other men in
the room. Pete took the cards and atJced
the cclonel:
"How inanyt"
"Two cards," he said.
"None here," put in tbe dealer.
The colonel took tbe two cards and
looked at them quickly. Then he stuck
them behind the others. "I'll ftart this
on $5,000," he said. Welch looked at
his hand again and took tbe bet He
went $5,0u0 mora The colonel raised
another $o,000. Welch saw it and
raised another, and the colonel raised
etill another $",000.
'Well. I've got just $10,000 here yon
can have if yon can get it" said Wekh
and he tossed iu the chip The colonel
studied his hand.
"I've got only $3,000," he said,
"and I think you've got me. even if it
is a bad thing to fax."
With that Wallace tossed the cards
-u tbe table, aud Welch took tbe pot It
n-as a clean caeof bluff on Pete's part
is the cards saluequently showed. The
r-olouel had held tip a pair of jacks, his
ojietifrs. and an ace On tbe draw he
cxngbt an ace and a seven of diamonds.
Wtlch had only a pair of fives to start
with, and he kept them with tbe rest
of the hand. Wallace thonght be was
blafliug, but lost his nerve at the wrong
moment. When tbe game ended, tbe
colonel had barely $4,000. He bought
backtwaof his slaves that were lost
and tbe 22 went to Welch. They were
sold m the town a monta later. Ex

Poiaon la tne Blood ( the ErL
It has been known for years that the
blood of eels contains a highly poison
ons principla A dog inoculated with a
dozen drops of eel's blood dies in ten
minutes. This discovery was made about
ten years ago by two Italian brothers
name Mosso. The poiin is readily de
stroyed by heat and by mere lapoe of
time, wherein it differs from a scale
jM:is..n. which long retains its virulence.
Moreover, eel pernui is harmless when
taken with food, it invariably succumbs
to the process of digestion. If seruui
be taken from on animal that has been
rendered immune to snake poi.n and
injected under the skin of an eel. the
poisonous property of the eel's blood is
thereby impaired. Semm taken from an
eel i naturally abont three limes as
poisonous as the serum of the mos
vicious viper.
Although oilntcd eel scrum may pro
tect, an animal from so deadly a poison
as vijier venom, the converse does not
hold good: the serum of vipers is no
protection against tbe poison of eels
eeruiu.' Strom obtained from animals
gradually trained up to withstand fatal
doses of serpent venom difiers from or
dinary serum in tbe astonishing rapidity
of its action. ot only its protective.
but also its undoubted curative power
has been established. Good orda.

How Dan La l e Their Millloaa.
Many people wonder bow banks tis
all th money deposited in them and
how tbey manage to pay in teres t-tber-ou
and vet come out at the end of tbe
vear with a big profit on the business.
What they do is trade with tbe mon
ey. To the depositor tbey pay between
1 and 2 per cent, but the money tbey
lend brings them in 3, 5. C. 7 and even
8 txr cent
For instance, tbey give loans on all
sorts of securities, such as railway
debentures, government stock, public
company shares, dock warrants, bills of
lading, etc.
They also lend money on the security
of houses aud land, bnt not to a grea
extent, as repayments are slow.
When a con pie of substantial business
men or farmers or professional men
ba k a bill, tbe bank often lends with
out any feenrity at all, but now and
again they have heavy and ruinous
losses tin these loans.
All banks, however, have large sums
of money constantly lying idle, for they
mnst keep sufficient cash at the various
branches to pay checks and even to be
more or less prepared for panics. Still,
tbe difference lietw. en the I or 3 per
cent they pay and tbe 3 to 8 they re
ceive ou millions of dollars leaves them

the two ttadi'S in which the operatives

The danger in their case is even more
alarmimr than in those which have been
previously dealt with, as the power
which daily menaces them is tbat most
pernicious and treacherous evil, lead
poisoning. In the case cf file cutters
the mischief is contained in the bed
up-n which the file ia placed for cut

for, although other substances have
been tried, it is declared that none of
them give the desired amount of re

total extinction of life, exposed tbe
man's heart, end, holding the organ in
his hand, pressed first one side with tbe
finger and then on the other side with
the thumb, and, keeping it up continu

after a time there were unmistakable
evidences of life. It is said tbat tbe man
answered one or two questions put to

artificial action very long, and the man
sank buck to his second death.

- Jndging from my own experience, I
should say that this is the usual termi
nation of any chance observations of ei
ther weasels or minks. Occasionally
they may be seen to dart into the bushes
or behind some log or projecting bank,
but much more frequently they vanish
with a suddenness that defies the keen

ishing is accompanied by extreme rapid
ity of motion, but if this is tbe case
then the creature succeeds in doing
something utterly impossible to any
other warm blooded animal cf its size.
Mice, squirrels and some of the small

times, but except in tlie case of the

succeeds in accomplishing the result

There tun be no doubt that tbe war

after the six weeks' war. was a boom
erang to score np against Bismaick.
The good it did to France is inestimable.
Prior to the war there was an enormous
amount of money locked np in the form
of small savings. The appeal of the gov
ernment to the people set this sum into
profitable motion, and, to tbe amaze
ment of tbe world. France paid off her
creditor in less than half the stipulated
time. This gave a vast impulse to busi
ness enterprise of all kinds, and since
then France has steadily lccome more
wealthy. In Germany the effects were
less beneficiaL The linge influx of gold
sent np prices with a rush. A mania
for speculation set in, followed by the
inevitable crisis. Most serious of all,
however, was the unexpected discovery
of France's strength. Bismarck intend

revealed her immense power, and this,
of coarse, necessitated the gigantic mili

"My father went to the door of the
royal apartments (with some dispatches
from London)." knocked loudly once,
twice. Xo answer. He knocked louded
and louder. The door was opened, and a
page came oat, and inside the king's
voice was heard, using oath after oath,
winding np by asking: 'What the
blank blank blank did you want?'
"The page, with a frightened look on
his face, took tbe dispatches, saying.
'His majesty was not to be disturbed,
aa he was saying his prayers.' "

Madrid, June 2 In the speech from
tbe throne at the opening of the Cortes to
day it wan anuounced that the Sagas ta
cabinet, which weut out of existence
several mouths a to, ceded the Marianne,
or Lad rone, Caroline and Palaos croups f
islands in the Pacific ocean to Gertnauy.
It is understood that tbe price paid by
Germany waa in the neighborhood of Z-
GuO.OiO pesetas.
In her speech the Queen Hegent said:
"At ths opening of the Cortea all the
sorrows which have wrenched our hearts
through tbe disasters which have visited
our country, are reawakened. We umH
preserve sadness in order to derive ex
perience therefmm, but the woes of our
country are of such a nature that re
ticence and silence avail better than com
plaiau. When peace with tbe United
States was concluded parliamentary
troubles caused a change of cabinet and
the present cabinet was formed. Under
the constitution it belonged to me to ratify
the treaty by laying it before the chamber.
There remained under our control the
Carolines, Pslans and most of the Mari
anne islands. But the former cabinet be
lieved it useless for Spain to retain such
minor appanage of our auciont empire

Do To Dreamt
The fullest examination into tbe na
ture and origin of dreams has been
made by M. Moreau, the French scien
tist He divides dreams into the dreams
of health and tbe dreams that are the
result of a diseased state of mind or
body.
With regard to the latter it need only
be remarked that persistent dreaming U
one of the mcst invariable symptoms of
insanity, and as it is a psychological
fact that genins is near allied to mad
ness men of genius must be expected to
dream mure than ordinary men.
With regard to the dreams of health,
they are the result cf an imperfect state
of consciousness or an imperfect state
of sKt p. according as we look at it It
is obvious that the mind of the clever
man. that is constantly oeenpied with
many schemes and thoughts, is more
liable to be awake when his body is
asleep than that of the dullard, whose
mind i.t often asleep when bis body ia
awake.
Thus the sleep of the plowboy has
become proverbial on account of its un
disturbed nature. In most cases a man
of lively imagination and quick brains
is undoubtedly more liable to dream
than the dullard.
Part of a Harder Story.
The rising Enn had scarcely kissed
the Know capped hills that surround onr
peaceful city last Saturday morning
when an awful tragedy occurred on one
of the most public thoroughfares. The
whiplike crack of a rifle sounded on the
clear morning-air. and a leaden messen
ger of death trashed through Ihe brain
of a hnman being, summoning his soul
to the judgment bar of God without a
im merit's warning and with all his sins
full blown and "ripened on the tree."
The fatal bullet had been sent upon its
deadly mission by a hand that a few
Lours before clasped his victim's hand
in friendship. One now lies in tbe cold
embrace of dr.th and occupies a mound
in the silent city on the hill: the other
languishes in tbe county jail, alone
with his conscience and his deed as he
awaits the outcome cf the trial furmr.r
der that must surely follow. Louacon

The Queea Kept the Letter.
The late Mrs. Keeley used to tell the
following story about the visit she paid
to the queen at Buckingham palace on
tbe occasion of the jubilee in lb7. Be
ing incredulous of the genuineness of
the invitation, she was disposed to
treat the rcyal command as a joke and
wrote a rather sarcastic letter to tbe
official, a personal friend, who bad ad
dressed it to her. This he gave to the
i;ueen. and the veteran actress was a
little disconcerted when her majisty
told her she had read the letter. Mrs.
Keeley bepged that it should be restored
to Ler. "Xo. no. Mrs. Keeley." answer
ed tbe queen, "it is safely pasted in my
autograph book. You'll never get if

Fiahlair on Horaebaclc
The most remarkable fishing in the
world is that practiced in catching the
sturgeon in th frozen rivers of tbe
Ural mountains. Fishing on horseback
seems impossible, yet this is literally
trne of tbe fishing for sturgeon.
Tbe Rnssian Cossacks go fishing in
large bands. They mount their horses
and ride across tlie frozen river nntil
tbey are over the place where the cur
rent runs strongest There they d;j
monnt and cnt through the thick layer
of ice nntil they have formed a little
pool cf open wati r, extending across the
current almost from shore to shore.
A net. which is sunk to the bottom cf
the river, is stretched across the stream
at the open space, so that not a fish
can swim past it. The hordes are re
mounted, and the Cos-sacks ride np the
river for a distance of four or five miles.
Here the band turns about and rides
down over the thick ice covered stream,
forming a long line across it They urge
their horses at full gnllop.
The thundering boofd of the horses
terrify the fish, and they charge madly
ahead of tbe approaching cavalcade
Great swarms of fish choke np the
stream in the mad effort to escape the
terrific noise that is pursuing them, and
in this way they ar driven down the
streum to tlie net

Perhaps the most t'irilliug entertain
ment on record was one witneed in
the Romagna. which was as unexpected
as it was unauthorized. It was the lust
day of the carnival, and the theater of
Formlipopoli was packed with a crowd
of spectators awaiting the rise cf the
curtain. After a long delay the curtain
weut up, only to disclose a stage occu
pied ty 100 brigands facing the audi
ence with pointed rifles.
The leader cf the Strang) cast, II
Passatore. one of the most ruthless rob
bers of any age, bowed profoundly to
the horror stricken audience and ex
plained that the theater was surrounded
by his men. that the first man who at
tempted to escape wonld be shot, aud
that be and his merry men wonld pro
ceed to collect any money and valuables
tbey had with them.
The brigand nnd his men then de
scended from the stage and stripped tho
audience of their txsse3sions to the val
ue of $400,000. ltd then thatiked them
all iu a graceful speech and left the
theater. It is comforting to know that
he end 100 of his brigands were cap
tured shortly after and that they paid a
heavy penalty for their evening's en
tertainment. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Blurt ing; a Cork IdIo a Bottle.
Ask some of tbe company if tbey can
blow a small bit of cork which you Lave
placed in the month of a bottle so that
it will go into the body of the bottle.
Lay the bottle on the table upon its
side and place the bit cf cork about an
inch or less inside the open end. The
uninitiated will blow until they get red
in the face, and the cork will invariably
come out of tbe bottle instead of going
into it. There is a simple reason for it
too. The direction of the air forced by
the one blowing brings it against the
bottom of the bottle. The air compresses
within the bottle's walls and must fiifd
an outlet : therefore it is tnrned and forc
ed cut at the oniy vent the bottle has,
necessarily blowing tbe cork with it
But take a common lemonade straw,
place tbe end of it near tbe cork in the
bottle neck, blow very gently and the
cork rolls in.
