Why, that same turbot you are eating Just now no fewer than six of them refused before you came In." gtnlcsinnil and Gambler. Charles James Vox, the English statesman, was even more notorious in the gaming world than be was famous in the world of polities. Ho had squan dered $250,000 before coming of age. He became one of the most profligate gamesters of the vicious days in which he lived. Some of his finest displays In debate were sandwiched between ex citement such as would unnerve most men who had no serious business on hand. Walpole has given a glimpse of a typical passage in this extraordinary man's life. He had to take part In the discussion on the thirty-nine artlcloa.in parliament on a certain Thursday. He had sat up playing hazard from Tues day evening until 5 o'clock on Wednes day afternoon. An hour before he had recovered $00,000 that he had lost apd by dinner time, which was 5 o'clock, ended losing $53,000. On Thursday he spoke in the debate, went to dinner at past 11 at night; thence to a club, where he drank till 7 the next morn ing; tbene to a gambling house, where he won $u0,000, and between 3 and 4 In the afternoon he set out on a jour ney to Newmarket. B. E. McCregor, of Damascus, was in the city Thursday. JohnK. Ely, of Currinsville, waBin town on Wednesday. Mr. Lebo, of Marrpam, has been stop ping for some daya at the Electric hotel, Miss Nellie Inglls, of Portland, ia visiting Mrs. J. P. Lovett. Miss Ingalls has just returned from California, where Bhe had been for some time. Jack Humphreys, a former resident of Oregon City, was in Oregon City Thurs day visitina his friends. Mr. Hum phreys was formerly emplojed at Chas. Albright's meat market. LenMhenlnK a Bee'a Tongue. Man is often blamed for driving to extinction many sorts of beautiful creatures, but the account Is far more than balanced by the amount of good he has done for those animals which proved useful and could be tamed. Take the -case of the bee. The bee lives by Its tongue, with which organ it Is able to extract the honey from flowers. Now, a bee's tongue Is natu rally nbout a twenty-fifth of an Inch long. Clever beekeepers, by keeping only those bees with naturally long tongues, have succeeded in lengthening the tongues of a number of bee colonies to the extent of another hundredth of an Inch. It does not sound much, but it enables those Insects to do a quar ter as much work again In the same time. Man has done more than this for bees. He has given them ready made homes, where they nro wife from wasps and other enemies; frames for making their combs without using large quan tities of was for outside walls, and food during flowerlcss weather. OABTOTIIA. BtanOt - Ih Ui Yon Haw Always Bscffi A Couple of the Celebrated Come dlan'a Praetlcal Joke. Many stories are told of Sothern's original methods of entertaining his, friends at dinner, and possibly the most amusing Is that of the belated guest 'When, late in the dinner, this friend was announced, Mr. Sothcrn ex claimed, "Let us all hide under the table," and down they all went save Mr. Sothern himself, who remained eated. When the tardy guest entered, Mr. othcrn roso atid receive!! him with exquisite courtesy saying, "When your name was announced, my guests, for some unaccountable reason, all hid under the table." After a few mo ments of discomfort one by one they crept out and back to their scats. I heard from both Mr. Sothern and Mrs. Vincent this account of an out burst of fun at a dinner given by him In his parlor at the Revere nouse: As the guests, ten In number, were gath ered about the open fire before dinner a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with short breath, added the last touches to his dinner table, already spread. Ten large, square pieces of bread were placed with mathematical precision one at each plate, and then he left the room to bring the wine. Mr. Sothern saw his opportunity and, calling his dog, cried: "Tiger, the bread! Quick, Tiger!" And the nimble little gray hound bounded lightly upon the table again and again as he heard his mas ter's Imperative "Fetch the bread!" until each piece had been removed to a dark corner near the fire. Upon the waiter's return all was si lence. The expectant look upon Mr. Sothern's face showed only that dinner was awaited. Standing for a moment, bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread upon the table, hesitatingly turned to the door, then retraced his steps to the table, examined It carefully and hurriedly left the room. He soon re appeared with a fresh plate of bread, and again at each plate a piece was carefully placed, and he retired with the empty plate. "Quick, TIgerl Fetch It again! More bread! More bread!" And once more each piece was re moved before the grave 'waiter reap peared, and nil were again silent. One look at the table and one at the guests, and there remained no doubt Those poor, hungry actors had eaten It! With a look of contempt he an nounced dinner, and after all were safely seated at the table he brought a third plate of bread and with a fork placed It, with a gesture of scorn, piece by piece for each person and for the host. The merry scene soon dis armed his hostility, and before the evening was over the bread In the cor ner was revealed. Mrs. Lucy Derby Fuller In Century. Knew What to Do 'With It. A miserly landlord was going round collecting his rents the other day. At one house he was greatly interested In a little girl who watched, open mouthed and open eyed, the business of paying over the money and accepting the re ceipt. He patted her on the head and start ed out to search his pockets, saying, "I must see what I hate got for you." After searching his pockets for some time he at last brought from a remote corner a peppermint As he handed It to the girl he said, "And now what will you do with that?" The little girl looked at it then at him and replied, "Wash It." London Answers. Meaalea and Ammonia. A Detroit woman who labors among the poor children of the city was tell ing her experiences. "One day there was a death In the neighborhood; a little girl died, and the children were visibly Impressed. They told me about It In unison. "'It was better for her, wasn't It missus? one little girl said philosoph ically. " 'What was the trouble? I asked. " 'Oh," another po!;i up, 'she had measles and ammonia 0:1 the lungs and a lot of thltiKH.' "I was of course deeply Impressed by the 'lots of tliiiiLH.' but more so by the 'ummonlu on the lungs.' "Detroit Free Press. A I'aeful Rhyme. If poisoned, take mustard or salt table spoon, In a cup of warm water and swallow " right soon. For burns try borax and a wet bandage, too; If blistered, then oil and dry flannel will do. For children's convulsions warm baths are the rule; With castor oil dose, too, but keep the head cool. Give sirup of lpecao when croup la In tore; For fainting stretch patient right out on the floor. To soak In hot water Is best for a sprain; Remember these rules, and 'twill save you much pain. Dlacernlnar Germa, "What is this stuff?" asked the testy husband, sputtering over a mouthful of the strange dish which he finds on the breakfast table. "That" answers the thoughtful wife, l8 the new health food." "It ought to be healthy," declares the husband. "I'll bet no germ of any sense would try to live on It!" Balti more American. Very Clone.
