Death of an Old-Time Chicago
Gambler Brings Out a Story.
Chester Johnson, an old Chicago
gambler who flourished in Chicago
about the era of the great fire, died
the other day. He was familiarly
known as "Old diet," and ninny
old stories are told of him. The
following, according to the Chi-
cago Clironicle, was related oy one
of his cronies in a crowd oi his in
timates, who were talking of the
dead man. One of them turned to 1
another and said: "Bill, tell us
ftliat time with the preacher."
In a husky voice, broken by
J
Ksthmitio vhee7it1ps "Bill" en-
astnmauc vwieezingb, m
tered on his task.
It wasn't long after the big fire.
Most of the churches had been
wiped out. Some of them were
struggling up, but the generality
of them had pretty hard sledding.
Finally one of them I don't like
to mention no names comes out
in the papers and the committee of
elders or whatever it was allows
popular subscriptions to a building
ri..i..l 1 ill.

don't seem like it's going to be a
general conflagration, anyhow.
Finally the gospel coach gets stuck
at about 3,000 bones and it looks 1
like the mud is sn Hepn it can't be

piuieu uui.
The speaker halted and made a
significant gesture to someone who
stood in the little room behind him
ail
off,
There was a decorous clinking o
ice agaitist glass, "Bill" turned
arouud a moment, threw
back his head, wiped his lips with'
the back oihis hand and resumed: .
"Right' then was when 'Old !
Chef came sharp to the fore. He!
goes to the parson of this here

him that if he will do 'em any
good he can have three days'

tne wnoie tning, ana tney were
kept up nights counting coin to the
1 in , m .t
preacher man, 'If we go into this
game the institution will have to
have the prayers of the congrega
tion.' ' . ;
"Well, that threw the parson up
in air. He hemmed and he hawed.
He frowned and he smiled by
turns. 'Old Chet' wouldn't budge.
He stood pat on the proposition
and made the preacher man come
to time.
" 'You pray for rain when you
want rain, don't you?" he says:
"Sure we do,' says the man in
black.
" 'Well, this is a case of rain,'
says 'Old Chet.'
" 'I reckon I'll have to see what
can be done,' says the preacher.
'I'll lay the matter before the folks.
Anyway, Mr. Johnson, I'm much
obliged to you. I'll let you know.
"Well, they had some kind of a
meeting of the directors, or what-7
ever it was, and I understand there
was a violent rassle, but the
preacher he wins out. One day he
steps down the street and he finds
'Old Chet' and he says: 'Mr.
Johnson, we've decided that any
thing is right in a good cause. If
you'll play your best we'll pray
our best.'
" 'Let her go,' says 'Old Chet.'
"And she went. The thing got
noised around and business was
terrific. People used to come and
lost just to help the receipts. There
never was such a game before or
since. When three days was up
'Old Chef hustles all the winnings
'into a gunny sack, jumps into a
hack and drives out to Hie mran s
house. It's Saturday iiifilit. or
rather, it's Sunday morning. He
wakes the preacher up mid there in
his studio they spent two hours
a-eo.intiug it. Say. I tell you boys
It had rained sure."
