| “There was a pot of $i!00 once and
: everyone Had dropped out except
Moore and the young man. Moore had
been playing his hands passionless,
btr sure. N’o man except his opponent,
perhaps, could doubt that he held the
winning hand. Suddenly when his
rival bet $iiO. Moore laid down his
! hand, saying. 1 1 won’t bet. 1 have
nothing. You played that well.'
'The young man reached out fever
ishly for the pile of money, and then
his hand lay on the tabic
" ‘That Is not true,’ he said. 'You
have a good hand and you are afraid
to play it against me.'
“Moon shot a hot glance across the
table at him and two red spots flashed
i into his cheeks.
“ 'I lay down my hand,' he said slow
“I loved his mother once.”
1 ly, but with a slight tremor in his
voice.
" And I say,’ added tlip other in a
| low tone, that you are a gambler, and
i therefore a coward.’
j “'Hugh,' I said, laying my hand on
! (he young man's sleeve. You don’t
know what you are saying. He Is not
: a coward by any manner of means.’
‘ The young loan shook oft my hand
vehemently, and exclaimed, He is a
1 coward, and I’ll answer for my words
! at the first landing.'
I looked at Moore. 1 had seen him
| sit on the hurricane deck, a revolver
i in hand, and as a waiter threw cham
j pagne bottles over the rail, raise his
arm swiftly and shatter the falling
! glass with a bullet. There were graver
stories, too, about his deadly aim In
' duels. He sat stiff and motionless
; with a terrible fire in his eyes. I was
I amazed by his next words:
! " 'Does the game go on?' he asked
■ quietly.
j ’’ Not with you,’ said the young man,
I bending forward, the veins in his fore
( head swelling. 'Not until 1 prove that
I you are afraid to bet.’ and With a sud
den motion he threw his hand across
the table and seizing Moore's cards
turned them face upward on the table.
“1 was on my feet at that instant to
arrest Moore’s right arm, for I felt
that he would draw his revolver at
the insult. But a hush fell over those
around the table, and tiie hot-headed
! young man was gazing stupidly at the
J cards before him. Four aces lay there
; —an invincible hand, for straights
were not played. There was a blue
tinge in Moore’s white lips anil the
young man looked bewildered. Quick
ly the young fellow burst iato tears.
“ We can’t play together any more,’
he cried 'You threw money into my
pockets because I was losing too much.
| 1 can’t take it,’ he said, arie'ug from
his chair.
'■ You can,’ said Moore in an even
voice. '[ laid down my hand. The
mosey is yours. Besides,' he added
with a lift!? shiver, 'I field out an aca
on j’Oii.'
"Every man at the table knew that
Moore had lied. We all sot up and left
the young mx.li sitting there over the
money, I found Moore shortly after
ward on dcik, looking into the dark
ly whirling water.
“ ‘Give me your hand,’ I said. ‘Wha4
in the world did you mean? You never

“ Tut, tut,’ he answered, with a

LONG TERM IN PRISON.
CurluuM 1 ate allowing Separate System*
of tlie Government.
A most curious case, showing how
the separate systems of the govern
niPiit may take on confusing shape, has
just come to light in Indiana. A man
who has for nineteen years been con
fined in jail at the expense of the na
tion, has during all these years been
in receipt, or intended receipt, of a
considerable sum of money from the
same nation, it is because the man
fought in the great war that the com
plication was made possible. At least,
his services in battle were responsible
in part for the situaton. It once oc
curred to the same man that after hav
ing fought the good light for freedom
and unification it might be the grace
ful thing for the country to recognise*
his worth by a monetary consideration,
so he put in an application for a pen
sion. it was allowed, and the man's
name was written on the book of fame,
after which he was entitled to dollars.
Shortly following this period another
man passed on to the great beyond,
under circumstances which the coro
ner's jury considered called for the
trying of somebody on a capital punish
ment charge. It so happened that the
pensioner was* the person fixed upon
as the active agent assisting the
earthly exit of the deceased. Although
the pensioner stoutly maintained his
innocence, the proof was so strong as
to lead the jury to a verdict of guilty
and the committing judge to a sen
tence of life Imprisonment. This was
in the year 1880, and for nineteen
years the prisoner worked out his des
tiny behind the bars. At the conclu
sion of this time the man who had
committed the murder took to his last
bed, and it occurred to him to make a
confession. So the pensioner is free
now. But lie still has troubles. There
are some thousands of dollars in pen
sion money which the wardens have
failed to turn over tc him. and he Is
obliged to sue for their recovery. Be
sides. there are the wasted nineteen
years, because of the implicit judical
faith in the infallblllty of circumstan
tial evidence.—San Francisco Call.
Seeking After Knowledge.
Figures recently compiled by the
registrar of Columbia university show
that as a whole the institution stands
second to Harvard in membership the
respective enrollments being 5,740 and
4,392. After Columbia came the Uni
versity of Michigan, with 3,813 stu
dents; the University of Chicago,
3,774; the University of Minnesota,
3,423; the University of California,
3,210; Cornell university. 3,004; the
University of Pennsylvania. 2,573. and
Yale. 2,541. Columbia is one of the
lowest numerically in the size of its
men's undergraduate college, which,
however, has increased more than 50
per cent in a single generation. In the
scientific schools she is surpassed in
numbers only by Cornell and Yale: in
her graduate departments she stands
first in this respect, with 422. against
398 at Harvard. The statistics further
snow the peculiar prominence of Chi
cago, with her theological seminary of
180 students; of Pennsylvania, with a
school of 417 dentists, and another of
00 veterinaries; of Minnesota, with a
college of agriculture, numbering 590
in attendance; of California with her
school of art. attracting 208 students;
of Cornell, whose division of forestry
is established with a registration of
22, and of Yale, the only university
having a separate school of music.

small annoyances irritate you. Peruna
will make you feel like another per

used it for throe seasons and find it
very reliable and efficacious.”—Marie
Coats.
Mrs. Al. Wetzel, 21 South 17th street,
Terre Haute, Ind., write's:
“Peruna is the greatest medicine on
earth. I feel well and ttiat tired feel
ing is all gone. When I began to taka
your medicine 1 could not smell nor
hear a church bell ring. Now 1 can
smell and hear. Wneu I began your
treatment my head was terrible, all
sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud
noises. Three months ago I dragged
around like a snail; now 1 can walk as
briskly as ever. 1 am going to go and
see the doctor that said I was not long
for this world, and tell him that
Peruna cured me.”—Mrs. Al. Wetzel.
If all tho tired women and all the
nervous women, and all the women
that needed a tonic would read and
heed the words of these three fair
ladies who have spoken right to tho
point, how many invalids would bo
prevented and how many wretched
lives be made happy.
Peruna restores health in a normal
way.
Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes of the body, and In this
way restores tbe functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of
order, and the digestion impaired, Pe
runa quickly makes things right by
restoring the mucous membrane of tha
stomach.
If the nerves tingle, if the brain is
tired, if ihe strength is flagging and
the circulation of blood weakened by
flabby mucous membranes of the di
gestive organs, Peruna reaches tha
spot at once by giving to these mem
branes the vitality and activity which
belongs to them.
The pelvic organs are also lined
with mucous membrane which in the
female sex is especially liable to de
rangements. Peruna is an absolute
specific in these cases. The women
everywhere are praising it. No other
remedy has ever received such un
qualified praise from such a multitude
of women.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you hi3
valuable advice gratis.

The Hartman Sanitarium. Columbus, O.

DON’T YOU HEAR BABY CRY ?
Do you forget that summer’s coming with

The summer’s heat kills babies and little

Belching, vomiting up of sour food, rash, !
flushed skin, colic, restlessness, diarrhoea or
constipation, all testify that the bowels are out
of order.
If you want the IHtIc ones to face the coming dangers with
out anxious fear for their lives, see that the baby’s bowels are
gently, soothingly, but positively cleaned out in the spring time,
and made strong and healthy before hot weather sets in.
The only safe laxative for children, pleasant to take (they
