Passengers on Ocean Liner Unable to
Resist Fascination.
It is a weil-known fact that no na-
tion has been, found high or%>w in the
sciile of civilization where the passion
for gambling 'does not exist. A Phila-
delphian, who is too good a Christian
to have his name in print, is respon-
sible for the following tale: “I was
returning from Europe this fall on one
of the large ocean liners. A crowd of
us in the smoking room on the second
day out with stakes as low as a penny.
It was great fun, and the roafs of
laughter could be heard in the cabins.
People who never played before looked
in to see one of the tables covered
with cards and such a makeshift
layout’ as could be gathered up among
travelers.
Excitement ran high, and dealers
changed often, for the bank went
broke every little while. Everybody
wanted to get into the game, and on
the fourth day three clergymen who
had fulminated in the cabin to any
one who would listen to them on the
folly of the vice of gambling, actually
staked their pennies. They simply
couldn’t help it. The thing was simply
irresistible. On the fifth day the ex-
jcitement culminated when the game
went right along regardless of the
dinner bell, and then the captain
stopped it. No one player lost or won
as much as $5 from start to finish.”
Sport is apparently not considered a
necessary element in a French school-
boy s education. An order has just
gone forth from the director general
of elementary sch< )!c forbidding m-as-
teis to allow their pupils to play leap-
frog, football, rounders, tops, hop-
scotch and other games.

The penalty among the Hottentots

new husband on the wedding day.

In some pleasant reminiscences of

very democratic in his tastes and un-
assuming in his habits. His beach cot-
tage was one of the smallest and poor-

fectly contented “with it, and when you

visiting me, when one’ lady, a clerk in
a store, who had been in school with
him years before, ventured to call on
him, apologizing for intruding upon a

Mr. Reed, ‘I never remember being
busy in my life but once, and then I
didn t have much to do.’ He then went
on to chat of old days with as much
Interest and cordiality as though he

How It Strikes an Operator.
A coal operator who was at the
capitol to-day entered into an explana-
tion of why coal is high, and as his
statement seems to confirm some pub-
lic suspicions, it is worth printing as
he gave it. His mine is in Ohio. Some
days ago the company of which he is a
part agreed to sell the product at the
mine at $1.95 a ton. He was sitting
in his office, when several coal dealers
appeared. Instead of asking his price
a ton, one of them exclaimed in a bold
eager voice: “I will give you for
prompt delivery $4 a ton. Another in-
terrupted quickly: “I will offer $4.50.”
Still another jerked out nervously,
raising his voice to the highest pitch:
“And I bid $5 a ton.” Thus by over-
bidding they carried the cost price up
to nearly 300 per cent over the original
price the operator had fixed. The con-
sumer was only considered as a man
to be supplied as rapidly as possible at
exhalted prices.—New York Tribune,
