Wiitlng to Richard Beirttay from Ar
lington street on Pa. V, net, Horace
Walpole smjs:
The great event Is the rsteatropita
of Blr John Bland, whs has flirted

!'othr night loat In rarslsae play an
Imintuae sum ta a Oaptsln Paott. who

Kir Jolm Bland, to conlle here the
hlsViry of that luckless iKcar, etwt
hlmaclf dead, after losing the last of
his fortune, In Klppax park.
Captain John Bcott was of Uiat
branch of tba numerous Bcott family
of which Sir Walter was a member,
and bis ancestor In tho thirteenth cen
tury was that famous chemist, Michael
Scott, who won tha name of wlnard. A
later Scott distinguished blmsclf In the
time of Charles II. by marrying, when
ba wss himself only fuiirtwn years
old, a lsdy wbo was three years bis
junior. Tba bride was Mary, countess
of Duccleucb, In her own right the
richest heiress In Scotland. The mar
riage was a secret one, and none of tba
friends and few of her family were in
formed or it until the day after. The
youthful bridegroom did not profit
greatly by this match, for bis bride died
at thirteen. Iter slater Anne, wbo suc
ceeded to her tltlea and estates, made
a marriage with the pot son of Charles
II., Monmouth, and bad a numerous
family.
It was sixty years later, or about 17o0,
that young Scott, son or the laird of
Bcott's Tarvet, entered King George's
army. Two years later be was In Lon
dou and In the midst of the most reck
less set of spendthrifts, rakes and
gamesters that English society has ever
known. Sir John Klaud was only one
of a thousand rich young Englishmen
wbo threw away fortunes over the
gaming table at White's. The one his
toric loser of that era was Charles
James Fox, Pltt'a rival. Fox gambled
away, all told, no less than S3.000.000.
Scott was tha very antipodes of Fox.
When he died, at a ripe old age, ha left
a fortune as areat as that with which
Fox bad begun, aad every penny of It
bad bean won at the gauilug table.
Fox was a rlpa scholar, Scott was al
most illiterate. Fox said that losing
was the next greatest pleasure to win
nlng. Scott never lost or so rarely that
It did not affect tha serenity of his ca
rear aa a winner. Fox would go borne
In the morning after a night In which
ba bad gambled away flO.000 or 20,
000 and Immediately lose himself in a
tody of Bophoclea or .Eschytus. Bcott
like tha sensible fellow be was, would
button bis coat over tha portemonnale
In which be carried away winnings of
an equal or even greater amount and
Immediately go to bed so as to ba fresh
for play in tha evening.
When Scott found himself in London
and amid the wild young men of his
ara, he determined that gaming was
his only chanca of getting money.
When ha engaged himself to throw
series of mains with Sir John Bland,
ha bad, as Horace Walpole puts It,
nothing "but a few debts and his com
mission." His shrewdness taught him
that there was nothing In dicing, at
which a stupid man has as good a
chance as a bright one, and so he
speedily gave op hotard and applied
himself to whist, at which game for
tune fights on the side of the skillful
player. Never In the history of play
aid men gamble for such high stakes
as Scott ami his vjctims ilkl at White's
between 1733 nud 1780. Scott's system
was au exceedingly simple one. He
gave hlniHelf the best of it In every
possible way. Ho never went to the
gaming table uuloss bis bead and his
stomach were In tho very best order,
lie never lost his compoxure or his
good nature for an Instant He played
a perfectly fair and honorable same.
and at first he made it a rule never to
play for more than a fixed sum, which
he could afford to lose. He won so
steadily that It wasn't long before he
was prepared to risk nuy sum which
even the wealthiest or the most reck
less of his adversaries would venture
to propose.
A story which Illustratet capitally
Scott's patience In tho face of hard
luck has been preserved. One night
while he was at the card table news
waa brought to him that his wife, tho
first Mrs. Scott, had given htrth to a
girl.
"Ah." he said, "r shall have to don-
ble my stakes to make a fortune for
this young lady."
But In a few hours he was 8,000 to
tba bad. Retaining his Invariable se
renity, be said he was sure of his luck
returning, and at 7 a. m. be went home
tha winner qf 10,000. That's the sort
.of play that went on at White's night
after night during the years that John
rtcott was winning the largest fortune
aver accumulated by gentleman gambler.

BEHIND THE SCENES.'
A Humorous Lecturer's Views
Abeut
I the Stags Hands.
I wonder why it Is that one feels It
Is such a feather In his cap If lie can
make a stage bund laugh. I remember
that one evening there was n unusu
ally intelllirent audience, made up ofl
college profesHors uud collegians, and
they laughed readily and often at Je
rome's sallies.
Just off scene sat a stolid and stupid
stage band, and he yawned at least
four times while the reading was go
ing on. I knew perfectly well that. If
Jerome were to leap to bis hands and
walk around the stage with his feet In
the air, singing "(iod Save the King"
meantime, the stage hand would laugh,
but I knew that Jerome never did that
particular trick. And the stage band
sat there stolid.
"Will he like my work?" I asked my
self, and I realized that I would value
his verdict above a whole theater full
of others, although they were alert
Mentalities.
I went on. Tho professors and col
legians prospered my Jests, for which I
was grateful, but I bevrd a noise at
the wings that made me do my level
best The stage band was laughing ont
loud.
Later I beard what It was be said
when be laughed.
"Gee, I have to laugh to aea such a
solemn lookln' cuss before the foot
lights. I bet he's lost his way."
But at the time I thought I bad
Riade a bit with him, and I was bappy,
I always preferred churches to thea
ters, because there . were no stage
bands. I don't know bow a stage band
acts toward an actor, bnt I always felt
that they merely tolerated ns, because
wa never used slapsticks nor yet made
up. I know they made ma feel un
comfortable, but tfcee half a doten of
them laughed at me, and I didn't balf
try to make them do It The first thing
a lecturer noes aiier accusiommg Him
self to the jJakness of "behind the
Mena? 18 10 And a "peep hole" and
"count the house." One bight I tried
several, but they were all too small.
Just at "tiptoes" was a big one, and I
made for that, and, raising myself on
my tootsies until I resembled a ballet
dancer, I applied my eye. Then It was
that they laughed, for I was looking
into a little trick mirror that reflected
my eye, bat gave me no glimpse of the
house. -Charles Battel) Loomla In Suc
cess Magazine.
Voltaire In the Bastille.
The severest wit of bis time, Vol
tnlre. was more than once Imprisoned
in tha Bastille for having directed bis
satire against the powers that were.
Ills Drat incarceration for such an of
fense as in 1717, when he leveled a
biting set of verses and later a sa
tirical composition In Latin against the
regent, the Duke of Orleans. The in
censed regent ordered Voltaire to tho
Bustllle: but, forgetting about him, left
the writer In prison for eleven months.
When at last the poet was remembered
and released, the regent, a man of
some generosity, unmindful of any
thing save the tedious Imprisonment
bis lampooner had suffered, sent for
him j ml granted him a pension of 2,000
fratiM a year to soothe his wounded
feellt gs. It Is related that Voltaire ac
cepted the gift with as much witty
graco ns gratitude. "Monselgncur,"
said he, "I most humbly thank your
royal highness for continuing to charge
yourself with the expense of my board,
but I beg you never again to trouble
yourself about my lodging."
Cured of Rheumatism.
Mr. Wm. Henry of Chatanooga,
Tenn., had rheumatism in his left arm.
The strength seemed to have gone
out of the muscles so that it is' useless
for work," he says, "I applied Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and wrapped the
arm In flannel at night, and to my re
lief I found that the pain gradually
left me and the strength returned. In
three weeks the rheumatism had dis
appeared and has not since returned.
If troubled with rheumatism try a few
applications of Pain Balm. Tou are
Certain to be pleased with the relief
which It affords. For sale by Frank
