A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY. in Institution for W hieti Wiihlnfton Left Voney nnrt Selected t Mire. s-, The idea of founding a great uai varsity at the seat of government ol the United States is as old as the con stitution. The subject was considered by the makers of that instrument, and it may fairly be inferred from the de bates that it was dropped only be cause, under* the clause relating to the District of Columbia, congress had amplfe power to found a univers ity. Washington took such interest in the project that he bequeathed to the nation in aid of it a sum which at that time seemed munificent, and .which would have insured its success ful foundation had the fund been se curely and profitably invested. It is even said that he se lected on the banks of the Potomac as a site for the institution a hill which was afterward occupied by the old naval observatory, says Professor Simon Newcomb in the North American Review. Presidents have formally recommended the measure, and philosophers and states men have shown its expediency. Yet we have entered upon the second century of our national existence without its having advanced beyond the preliminary stage of a'bill before congress. A national university at Washington seem* to me one of -the most pressing of our public needs, and one which would long since have been supplied had not strong reasons 1 in favor of doing so been very gener i ally overlooked.

It may sound absurd to make a state ment about “smoking meat without a fire,” for it is a well known saying that “where there is smoke there must be fire.” The advance of ^cience, however, has made this idea obsolete, and today with the use of Krausers’ Liquid Extract of Smoke it is possible to quickly, economically and suc cessfully smoke moat without a fire. This liquid extract is made by distilling the smoke from hickory wood and is absolute ly harmless. In fact, meat smoked by this method has a genuine smoke flavor, re mains moist and soft, and is not infested t with insects. Every objection of the old method is overcome, every trouble ended , and the unsightly and dangerous smoke house is a thing of the past. Krausers’ Liquid Extract of Smoke long ago passed the age of experiment, and thousands are using it today with profit and satisfaction. By writing E.

HOSE of us who go mcing (either for a living or to be lively) hear a large nun her of good stories during our travels, and laugh at them in -propor tion to their merit and piquancy. Few can he retold in discriminately. As a rule, they are libelous or demoralis ing—or both. It is not prudent to re tail them in the family circle before viators of more or less strong re ligious convictions. Happily, the story of "Fatty’s” fa vorite may be told without fear of bringing a blush to the cheek of the youngest or most foolish person. “Who is he?” was the question peo ple asked in wonder, as they and he went on the course probably with a common purpose (to “get a bit,” as the mission is called by those who fol low it); and the reply was invariably the same, “Fatty,” That was was all. "Fatty,” pure and simple; this seemed to satisfy public curiosity. Further interrogation was considered adventurous, in view of the startling facts it might reveal. To look at him was enough, especially when he was backing losers. iruiy, "Fatty was a remarkable character, unconventional in his life and customs, also in bis ideas as to the rights of Individuals, so far as per sonal property was concerned. What he wished to have he thought he was entitled to take, if the'owner's atten tion was diverted: and no man was cleverer than he in diverting owners’ attention when there was anything to be taken by doing so. Not a person of high principle, he could afford to purchase the luxuries of the season in sufficient abundance to gratify his appetite, which was im mense. To many persona of the high est principle such luxuries are un known. When in his best form “Fatty” ac complished notable feats. His favorite maneuvers were executed on the race course. He was quite at home there, and moved about, both in the ring and paddock, with immunity from assault. A friend told me this story about “Fatty” in confidence—hence I pass it on in the same spirit. We were return ing from Camptown steeplechases after a bad day, and were bemoaning our anaemic condition. “This is no game,” I remarked, “for honest, well-meaning men;” and I vainly hunted for the remnants of a cheap cigaret which I hoped had not been thrown away in better times. “Yes, It’s a poor game,” said my companion,“when one loses one’s mon ey In order to maintain one’s rectitude of purpose. Now look at ‘Fatty,’ ” he added, after s pause, rather inconse quentially; “you never hear him com plain of his bad luck. It is those who have been playing with him who lift up their voices.. He knows very well that luck wouldn’t keep him in grease for his moustache and boots.” “But some of us are afraid of prison,” I murmured regretfully. • “Well, just listen to a short account of what ‘Fatty’ did the other day, and then talk about prisons if you like. Of course, you know that at one time he kept a small coffee shop in the east end of London, and now bets in thou sands. That denotes the master mind. He is called ‘Fatty’ because of his stomachic protuberance, not in refer ence to any other personal distention. RODE A FINISH. He looks at you, as it were, from be hind a flour-b^g, especially when wear ing a white waistcoat, and he talks to you as though he would fall backwards if you pushed against it. O, yes! he’s very hot, is ‘Fatty.’ He’s had his ups and downs, and has always faced the music bravely, whether he’d a shirt on his back or a scarf round his neck. He’s made money, too, by backing ’em on the course.’’ From personal experience I knew that was true, and I could not help re flecting that a man must be clever to make money at a sport by which most of us lose our little all and what we are able to borrow. Yet such a man is, no doubt, more than clever; he does not mind what he does. My idea Is that the wealthy punters are those who, if they cannot find win ners, find something else of value, and do not necessarily wait until it is lost. But the last paragraph may be treat ed as a philosophical digression, hav ing no relation to the story, which was continued by my friend as follows: “Then ‘Fatty,’ after a brilliant coup, got some racehorses of his own. He was tired of backing other people's gee-gees, and wished to try how he could work them under his own pro prietorship and supervision. He had no desire to own high-class horses. He knew that money could be made out of little races sb well as out of big, only with greater certainty. He had not a soul above platers; his argument was that you can win as much with a bad horse as with a good one if you can back him with confidence to beat worse." “Incontrovertible," I remarked, in terrupting the story for a moment; “but I never could find worse than mine. Nobody ever had such bad ones aa those which I collected with great care at a small expense.” "No one ever accused you of knott ing the game,” said my friend, severe ly. “You should only go out with a barrel organ and a monkey, being tied to.lts tall. You might be clever enough to take the pennies if the donors placed them in your hand, closed it over them tenderly, and swore you to secrecy. But ‘Fatty’ was a perfect tradesman. He was after the nimble nlnepence every time. He used to back his platers when it was good enough to dtf so; when not, he used to let other peo-' pie back them, and Invest his money on something else. It is, a beautiful' game so long as you can, play it with out danger from the mob or froq^the stewards.” ‘ "Who was ‘Fatty’s’ trainer?” I asked,” feeling confident that position was not M ''OlUvuUI Vi "Why, surely you know," retorted the historian. “ ‘Fatty’ would, ot course^ only have one sort of trainer—a man who.wpulddo as he was told without, asking questions. Old Jerry Smlgginrf: of Ripston, realized his ideal ot that character. You remember Jerry—he always seemed to be trying to ‘best’ somebody, and was generally in debt. Talk about the very ‘warm’ members, he could give most of them a start ovei* what is called ‘a rogue’s course,’ andj make hacks of ’em when it came to pure thieving. I should not like to bd a dying man engaged in cuddling my money-bags for the last time if Jerry were in the sick chamber watching my struggles. He would accelerate my doom to obtain the treasure.” “And how did his employer trust him?” I Inquired, for I had a little knowledge of the Ripston trainer, and recognized that the elegant simile as to the peril o'! the moribund person toying with his cash deposits was not an exaggeration. Indeed, Jerry would no doubt have also removed any false teeth that might have been in the un fortunate person’s jaws, so as to get the gold to bet with. “Trust him,” replied my informant; “well, you know how far such men trust each other. Like one hungry dog trusts a hungrier one in sight of an odorous bone. So long as both could get a bite they do not worry each other as to which secured the most pestifer ous portion. They went on well for a time, and ‘Fatty’s’ nose reflected his prosperity to a marked extent; It beamed upon us in the paddock and as sumed more colossal proportions and brighter tints as its owner put on flesh and added to his balance at the bank. Then came the picturesque in cident at Camptown Park previously hinted at.” Here the orator took breath and ex panded his chest before embarking on the more exciting part of his recital. Refreshed by the rest, he continued: “ ‘Fatty’ had one of his platers in a selling race at Camptown, and on the book it had a great chance. According ly, the public made his horse favorite, and backed it down to even money in a large field of runners. ‘Fatty’ could not stand that; he did not care for even money chances. So, after confer ring with his trainer, he gave him in structions to the effect that the favor ite need not exert himself unduly in the race, and that precautionary meas ures might wisely be adopted with that end (the wrong end) in view. Having arranged matters to his satisfaction, the astute owner of the favorite went into the png and backed a horse which he believed was a certainty while his candidate enacted the part of spectator. A Jockey who would listen to reason when it took the form of ready money was riding the favorite. Therefore it was that when the horse cantered to the post ‘Fatty’ felt slightly above him self—his usual sensation when he con sidered that he was backing one cer tainty in a race, and laying against another certain not to'win. “The result of the race, however, wsb not what he desired. The favorite had more in hand than his owner or train er thought. His Jockey could not quite hold him; thus he found himself near home in view of the public before he was able to get a pull. It was then too late, pull as hard as he could. People would see him; he might be warned off. Naturally fearing that disaster, he sat down and rode a finish ot con siderable merit, making a dead heat of it. You may imagine his employ er’s awful sensations. He had backed one of the dead-heaters to win a large stake; he, had laid against the other to lose a lot of money! “Then Jerry Smiggins appeared in the paddock, and held conference with his patron. The result seemed satis factory to the latter; he whispered a few words to his trainer, and Jerry hurried away again as though on a mission of Importance. It was so, for that dead heat was never run off!” “They agreed to divide?" I asked; In nocently, having no idea at that time what bad men will do to get money. “Agreed to divide!” repeated my friend, with scornful emphasis. “Fancy ‘Fatty’ dividing anything with any body when he had a chance of collaring the lot! When the time arrived for running*bff the dead heat the favorite could not be found. Jerry had been to the stables surreptitiously and lost him!” This, like other things, is, I am in formed, easily done when you know how to do it. “Fatty” still goes racing, and is far fatter 'than ever, especially underneath his white waistcoat. But the public do not rush after his hot favorites now; and some of the punt ers—those who bet for a living and live well at times—-declare that they can afford to lose when “Fatty” wins.—In Town.
