Bat Masterson sat in front of a table at an uptown hotel in New York and, between sips of minéral water, told stories about Bob Murray, once a famous gambler, who died at Kokomo, Ind;, recently. According to Masterson Murray won and lost more money during his thirty years at handling playing cards than any other gambler. “He was dend square,” said the former marshal of Dodge City. “He would bet on the length of a calf rope, the welght of a dead mans boots, how long it would rain, and all such things. The gambling spirit was born in him. “He told me that when a kid at Kokomo he was the farthest advanced boy in his Sunday school; that he won money on the length of sermons, how many converts there would be in a week or month. He became so notorious that he was expelled from church and the country school. Then, with the proceeds of the sale of a set of fishing tackle and a shotgun, he bought a ticket to the Black Hills. “There he drifted one day Into a faro bank run by “Red" Hart, formerly a dealer at Bl Paso. Hart was dealing at the time. It was Murray's first ‘whirl at the game. He knew no system. 4 He coppered the ace and at the same timé put a bet behind the deuce to win. He “Dlaced bets on the corner of the 9 taking in the §, 9 and 4, while having the 10-spot cop- pered. He whipsawed nearly every turn, and, after four nights' playing Hart refused him more chips. “How much he won I haven't any idea. But he terrorized successful dealers like ‘Lucky’ 8am Wilkerson and ‘Baldy’ Moffett. During all this time he was as calm as a day in June. Occasionally he would light a cigar and smoke it. But never was he ever seen unshaved, or with his collar solled or his boots unshined. He was the Beau Brummel of the Hills. - On His Own Hook. “First thing we all know he had a gambling house of his own at Cheyenne— one with red carpets thicker than the sub- sofl of a Kansas wheat fleld, looking glasses, sideboards, oll portraits and dewny lounges. And he got the business and he made friends. Shucks! he wasn't there six months before he could have been elected mayor or anything else within the gift of the people of Cheyenne. “I am not In a position to say with ac- curacy how many dollars Murray had when he joined in with Charley Plerce at Denver fifteen years ago, but I'll venture a guess at a figure looking like $1,000,00, which was In cash. The house in Denver was known as Murray & Plerce's and undoubtedly there never was such a gambling estab- lishment since the time gold was discov- - van&hllnlv he was | rested in Illinols ered In the Sacramento valley in ‘4. Thers ‘were crap games, faro, stud poker, chuck- a-luck, keno, roulette, sevenup, fan-tan and any other sort of a game a white man ever had any knowledge of. “Murray made more coln than the Union Pacific raliroad. He bought horses, car- riages, good clothes, dlamonds, stocks in wildeat mining companies, gave to churches and, generally, spent his stuff as it he wero handling stage money." * “Yes,” sald Jack Devine, prietor of the biggest loon west of the Missour! river, “and he wouldn't let the little miners wager all they had, “One tine I saw a fellow come in and buy a stack of whites, which in those days cost $10. In a minute they had been wiped off the board. As the player started way Bob called him back and handed him back his money, Then he turned to the dealers and told them that they never should accept a bet from him in future, It seems that this player had been going to Murray's place every Saturday night for months and losing his salary—never: winning a single time. former pro- 'Won and Lost. “A month later I was in the house when the same fellow walks in, and, there being & new man behind the box, he succeeded in negotiating a V for a half stack of whites. Murray was out at dinner. Pres- ently Murray returned. “He walked over to the table and in a second saw what was taking place. There was Smith, whom he had barred, having all the checks, the blues, reds, yellows and green in front of him. Murray sized up affairs and good-naturedly walked away with the remark that he wouldn't interfere as long as Smith was winning, “But about 5 o'clock in the morning he had a different tune to whistle. Smith had 335,500 coming to him, and, while Murray was In another part of the house, Plerce, his partner, shut Smith off. Just about the time the money was being counted out to the winner Murray showed up. He stopped the proceedings, saying to Smith that he could have $500 that time and no more; that the moment he would appear, sober, and with a friend that was known to the house. the balance of the money would be pald to him “One, two, three, four, five days elapsed without his appearance. Then Murray re- ported the case to he police. In a few hours Smith was discovered by a detective, taken to a bathroom, sweated and scrubbed untfl he was sober. Then he presented himself to Murray, who counted him $35,000 In big bille, “As Smith started to leave the place he remarked that If Murray would give him a deal with the yellow chips at $100 a plece there would be something doing. He was on in n minute. In less than an hour he was all in. Murray handed him a century note and told him never to let him see his face again In a gambling house." Booming the Healer. “While T don't take much stock in Chris- tian sclence and truck like that,” resumed Masterson, “I must say that Francis Schlatter, who for years posed as the only divine healer this side of Jericho, had a lot to do with prolonging poor Bob's life, “Along In the spring months of 1898 Mur- ray found himself without funds and with eyesight gone. Meantime his partner, Plerce, was dead. But Plerce had the fore. sight to Invest some of his winnings in real estute. Plerce’'s widow succeeded to the property, and when Murray began fading physically and financially Mrs, Plerce in- duced him to go to her home, where he re- mained for weeks. “Mrs. Plerce read the newspapers for him. Schlatter then was holding meetings around Albuquerque, and to Albuquerque Murray went. When he reached the New Mexican town it was thronged with the lame, halt and blind. A number of tramps were In line for no other purpose than to sell their positions to those with money. “To one of these Murray gave $20. Afte his first treatment he declared that he was well; that he could sed as well as ever be- fore. And for awhile he could see—see dis- unctly enough to read the finest print. When Murray returned to Denver the newspapers marvelled at his cure, and in doing so made Echlatter famous, “While the alleged healer was being ar- few weeks later, Mur- ray wes growing weaker and blinder, At last he got 80 he could not tell night from | day. “To my mind he was one of the greatest | gamblers the world has ever kmown.''— | New York Sun, | TABLE AND KITCHEN m Melons.

Put it in the foe box for an hour at least before using | and keep It covered, so that it will dry on the outside; this will keep for sev eral days and improve with age. 1If you | wish to have the top crust richer than the given quantity of shortening will make it, take part of the paste after It has been rolled the first time, put bits of washed butter over the top, dust the flour, fold over and roll it out several time then chill on ice. ‘ Suet Paste—This Is an excellent paste for meat ples, baked or bolled, (‘\lmlv“l.fll: or fruit puddings. All the ingredients must be very cold when mixing. Put a teaspoon- ful of baking powder and a teaspoonful of salt Into. two and a half ocups of sifted flour and sift again; add a cup of best beef suet chopped very fine, freed from all skin and dredged with flour; then mix to a smooth, soft dough with a cupful of ice water and roll out. When trimming the edge of the ple paste after cover- ing the tins, allow for the shrinkage In baking. Do not touch the edge of the puft paste dough of ples or patties with the fingers, as it will prevent that part from rising as light as the rest. The bowl for washing butter must be washed in hot soap suds, then rinsed in cold water to prevent the butter from sticking to elther in making puff paste. All ple paste should be made quickly, lightly and deftly, in order to have it light. The tenderness depends on the flour, amount of shortening, also handling, and soggy paste is due to bad management of fires or poor oven. Plain Cheap Ple Crust—Sift one pint of pastry flour with one-half a teaspoonful of salt and one-half teaspoonful of baking powder. Into this mixture put two heap- ing tablespoonfuls of butter and lard mixed, and mix with one-half cupful of fce cold water. Roll out on board and turn in the ehds and sides, fold, place on the board with folds at sides, and roll once or twice more, or until smooth. nof | | | | CONNUBIALITIES, Miss Ollve May Stauffer of Allegheny, Pa. was a bridesmald twice on the 19th inst.

The detailed prospectus of The Twentieth Century Farmer for the year 1903-4 will be issued shortly, but in the interval its publishers desire to announce that the steady improvement shown in that publication from its inception will be still more marked in the coming twelve months, keeping fully abreast with the rapidly expanding subscription list and the regularly increas- ing advertising patronage. The Twentieth Century Farmer has forged to the front as the most up-to-date and popular agricul- tural weekly in the country, typical in every feature of the push - and enterprise of the western farmer. It will appeal to every member of the farmer’s family and to every one interested in rural pursuits with special emphasis on the great,stock raising industry. None of the other departments of agriculture, how- ever, are neglected and the whole tone of the paper is directed toward broadening and uplifting life and work on the farm. The big state fairs are now coming on. The Twentieth Century FFarmer will be represented at each of them by a competent staff and will review in successive issues the progress reflected in the exhibits. Those who are not familiar with the paper should write for sample copies, and advertising rates. No one interested in w.est- ern agriculture can afford to go without reading The Twentieth Century Farmer from week to week and no one who wants to reach the most intelligent members of the farming communities of Nebraska, Towa, Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado and adjoining states can afford not to use its advertise ing columns.
