TBF ItULINO FASHION. The Wager ofTwo Dying (tnmblers In a San Frikitcliri, tlospllal. That tho ruling passion asserts itself even in the very face of the grim do stroyor is an axiom as old as tho hills. Its truth was evidenced by an-lncldent which recently occurred at tho San Fran cisco city and county hospital, and which v. as related to a reporter. Some months ago two consumptlvos in the last stages of the disease lay dying on cots in close proximity to eaeli other. Both victims wore sports, who by dis sipation had contracted phthisis in its most aggravated form. One was known as Bill Cunningham, a young gnmbler who hud enjoyed the reputa tion among his class of being a reck less bettor on tho turn of a card. Tho other was an English sailor named Staples, whoso sole passion was to wager whatever hi- possessed in suppoit of any opinion which ho might express. The nature of tho men, in tills particular at ieast, was identical, and both recognized • aeh other in a sense as brothers iu mis er, une. As they lay on their cots, inig g.ird and hollow-eyed nnd ga-ping for breath, they dally wasted tile remnant of their vital forces in bantering one an other about their appearance. "1 say. Staples," said Cunningham one morning, in a voice scarcely above a hoarse whi-per, "you're looking bluo. Better hi ace up, old man." Staples, who really seemed to be a dead man i-s he lay almost breathless with his gluz-d eyes half open and mouth widely distended, pulled himself together with ail indignant jerk nnd made an attempt lo raise himself upon his arm. "Billy," said ho, "you're wrong. To prove it I'll bet yon a dollar, the sizo of my pot, that I'll outlive ye." "I'll see that bet," replied Billy. An attendant wus ehosen as stake holder and the money (all they possessed) was placed iu his bauds. Then begun the struggle of those men to see who could retain tho spuik of life longest. At a distance of live feet the two dying men glanced at one another, each eager to show the other that hi stock of vitality was the greater. Cunningham battled bravely, but lie was the first to show signs of weakening. He Anally rosumed hi- old position, hut it eoulil be seen that his resptra 1 ory action WUK failing. ,-uddenly ho gave one great gasp, and with that sigh the spark of his iite, pre maturely cut oil, w as extinguished. "1 vi) won the bet," said Staples, a he took the stake money with a gral illei; smile. Cunningham's body was at once re moved to the hospital morgue. The at tendant hud iollowed tho cortege to the .nor ami returned tmmedltitel. to Sta les' cot. Scarcely live minutes liad assed since Cunningham hail expired, ml when the attendant glanced at Ma ples he Buwthat he, too, was dead. The last pot which he had raked iu was clasped in his right hand. The grip was vise-like, and an instrument was em ployed to remove the silver from the stiff ened, unwilling flugors.—Ban Franclsoo chronicle. Took Medicine In Water. The Crookstou, Minn., "Times" weaves a readable little romance about Uncle Tim Sullivan, ex-chairtuun of the county board, who runs a furm In the western part of the county. Uncle Tim is one of the most robust of western farmers, and although well advanced in years hat never known a sick day up to a few days ago, when, feeling a little under the weather, ho concluded to go to Grand Forks and consult a doctor. A prescrip tion was compounded at a drug store and Uncle Tim was given a small vial with instruction to take a teuspoonful ot the moiliclne iu water, every three hours. Ho took tho medicine home, but his wife had gone out to visit a neighbor, so ho concluded to take tlie first dose dur ing her absence. A rain barrel tilled with water stood at the corner of the house, ami sttipping off his clothes, Uncle Tim goi into the water up to his chin, ami v.us about to pour out a ii-aspoonful of the medicine wnen his wife returned. "For goodness sake, father, what are you doing there?" she exelaim-d as she sitw his head at the t-p o. the barrel. ••Mpe, I'm following tlie doctor's ■ I.P rs," said Tiiu. "lie told m.- to take •i teuspoonful of that medicine in water • •very hreo hours, and I'm just going to a a • my lirst do-o. ' .'•lrs.
