Subsequently he confessed to a friend that after paying the score he had barely enough cash to enable him to pay railroad fare out of the town. “A year later ‘he came back to our burg, and the whole community turned | out to hear him. a more flattering ovation in a small vil- lage. The profits of his lecture this time were $800. Before leaving us somebody reminded him of his previ- ous visit, whereupon the genial Bob laughingly inquired what motive had animated us in thus despoiling him. “We just wanted to see, governor, if you were game,’ spoke up one of the | townsmen, end in recounting the affair ; later Bob Taylor always added, ‘You | can bet your life I was glad that I had | proved game.’ ”—Los Angeles Times. | The “Toothache” Signal In Chile. | Drink is the curse of Chile. “For ‘some time after our arrival,” writes | Mrs. Hugh Fraser in “Further Reminis- j cences.” “Hugh and I used to be puz- | sled at the prevalence of toothache in | the town (Santiago).

WOMEN AS GAMBLERS. They Are Noted at Monte Carlo For Coolness and Luck. The women gambiers at Monte Carlo are by no meaus the excitable, hysteri- cal and unscrupulous players that have been described to us. Many are un- scrupulous and dishonest, but they are usually calmer than the men. There are women who will pick up your win- mings under your very nose, asserts the London Chronicle, and if you pro- | test the croupier will probably pay the mouey again rather than have a dis- turbance. , There are other women who will sit beside a man and openly claim a part of his winnings, and if the man is wise he will surrender to the extor- tion rather than disturb the domestic ble with equanimity, and how extraor- {| dinarily lucky they are, to be sure! Women have wonderful luck. While men work out elaborate “systems” and sit frowning over figures, the mysteries of which would take a very Napoleon of finance to elucidate, and then play —and lose, women simply plank money on the number they are “sure is going to win,” and they do win! It is not at all an uncommon thing to see a woman sitting against the wall. her husband by her side, waiting to put pieces on at her command. While he trots to and from the tables, telling | her what numbers turned up last, fuss- Ing and fuming and worrying what to do next, she calmly surveys the figures | she has jotted down, gives him another | “piece” at the psychological moment to | put on, and her big velvet embroidered | bag grows wider in circumference ev- ery hour. The five franc “piece” is ' even heavier and clumsier to carry than our “crown” piece. But she is so thor- ‘oughly used to it in quantities that she does not mind at all, but ‘says, “The heavier the better!” The games at the casino are perfect- ly fair, says the writer. When there is trouble. and trouble is very rare, it is due to the players and not to the ‘game, “and I am sorry to say that , when there is anything wrong it is gen- erally a case of ‘cherchez la femme.’” \ ANDREW JOHNSON. lousiy Neat In Dress, est men in his dress and person I have ever known. During his three years |in Nashville, in particular, he dressed jin black broadcloth frock coat and | waistcoat and black doeskin trousers and wore a silk bat. This had been his attire for thirty years, and for most ef that time, whether as governor of ; Tennessee, member of congress or | United States senator, he had made all ef his own clothes. He was so scrupu- lous about his linen that he invariably ‘changed all of it daily and sometimes oftener. He was matchiessly perfect in figure. }about five feet ten, had handsome broad shoulders, fine forehead, superb face, dark bushy hair and smail hands and feet. The most marked feature about him was his eyes, which were small, and, although such eyes are not usually attractive, his were black, 'sparkling and absolutely beautiful. He was not a gamester at anything t i ‘ 1 ' bliss. But, as a rule, the women gam- i ment made at Itasca cemetery in Grand Rapids.
