GAMBLER CASHED IX
PATHETIC TALE OF AN OLD
TIME MINING CAMP.
Reduced Sport, Old and Penniless,
but Nothing Behind the Deal,
Bravely Joins the Ranks of the
Great Majority.
In 1897 there were flush times in
the Slocan. The overflow of the
Rossland boom swished through the
silver camps and coated them with
gold. The wash struck Sandon the
hardest, and for months the town had
its Cairo-like streets literally paved
with dollars and playing cards. San
don is built in a gulch between high
mountains over which the sun occa
sionally peeps at the burg. In those
days it was a hot locality. All night
long the pianos were thumped “tie
low the dead line,” while above it
the booze factories had no keys t'nd
the clinking of glasses kept t'me
to the rattle of chips and the dies
of “That's good!” "I'm pot!” “Put In
with you!” etc.
These were the days when it often
cost many a plunk to look at your
hole card and ehubbers were under
the table. Gamblers were thicker
than coons at a cake w’alk and a
flash of sunlight made the lower end
of the camp look like a railroad
switch yard with all danger signals
turned on. The town never closed
up; it was one long carnival of wine,
women and cards. When one shift
went flowery another took its place,
and Canada’s Monte Carlo never
blinked an eye.
About this time Morris Butterman
hailed the camp. Morris had no
yellow in him and packed more than
sixty years on his broad back. He
had been a gambler for nearly half
a century. He had faced the tigers
in Montana, shot craps in New Or
leans, dealt stud on the old Missis
sippi and peeped from behind fours
In many a draw game. So when he
hit the camp he was not afraid of
anything in sight. He dealt faro in
the Bucket of Blood saloon and kept
his shirt bosom ever white. For a
long time his meal ticket made San
don look like a dirty deuce in a new
deck, and the old gambler went up
the hill to cook for a while, but he
did not suit and wandered back to
town again, broke, but sad, silent and
proud.
Several of the boys noticed that he
did not eat regularly and proffered
him aid, but he shook his head and
stood pat. One day, about 5 o’clock
in the afternoon, he passed through
the Bucket of Blood to the stairway
at the rear on the way to his room.
As he mounted the steps he turned
and took a long look at the bar and
Handsome Jack. Late the next after
noon Jack went upstairs to the old
man's room and found him dead. He
had put on his best clothes, got under
the blankets, took a swallow of poi
son and cashed in.
And thus Morris quit the game—a
philosopher.
Old, broke and nothing behind the
deal, he prefered to pass up rather
than burden his friends. Just a dash
of tragedy in the fever of mining
camp life.—Denver (B. C.) Claim.
LIFE AFTER DECAPITATION.
French Physician Asserts That Death
Is Not Instantaneous.
Considerable attention has lately
been given in France to the old ques
tion as to whether death follows in
stantaneously upon decapitation. A
French physician asserts that it does
not. In his opinion the blood which
flows after decapitation comes from
the large vessels of the neck and there
is hardly any call upon the circulation
of the cranium, says the London News.
The brain remains intact, nourishing
itself with the blood retained by the
pressure of the air. When the blood
remaining in the head at the moment
of separation is exhausted there com
mences a state, not of death, but of
inertia, which lasts up to the moment
when the organ, no longer fed,
ceases to exist. It is estimated by the
physician in question that the brain
finds nourishment in the residuary
blood for about an hour after decapi
tation. The period of inertia would
last for about two hours, he thinks,
and absolute death would not ensue
till after the space of three hours al
together. Possibly this may be some
consolation to those about to be guil
lotined.
WHY SHE WAS SORRY.
Unpopular Preacher Regretted Hav
ing Asked the Question.
A certain author, having explained
the nature of his occupation to an old
Manx woman, was hardly prepared
for the comment: “Well, well, what
does it matter so long as a body
makes his living honestly?” the words
being evidently meant to put him on
better terms with himself. But worse
still fared an English clergyman, for
some time vicar of a Manx parish and
from ignorance of the people and
their ways, not a very popular one.
Having received preferment else
where, he started on a round of fare
well visits, but without hearing a
single regret, says the London Satur
day Review.
At last one old woman told him she
was “mortal sorry.” In his delight the
vicar let curiosity outrun discretion,
and he asked for her reason. "Well,"
she said, with touching candor, “we've
had a lot o’ pass’ns over here from
England, and each one has been
worse than the last, and after you're
gone I’m afeared they’ll be sen'in’ us
the devil himself.”
The vicar left hurriedly.
The mill will never grind with the
water that has passed—until water
runs uphill.

Egyptian Cotton in Texas*
Egyptian cotton is being introduced
in Texas, and promises to revolution
ize the cotton industry of the South.
It is much more desirable than the
cotton raised in the United States
now, an,, is even better than the sea
island cotton. The Egyptian cotton
has much longer fiber than other cot
tons, and its seed can be removed so
easily that it is not necessary to cut
up the cotton in ginning it.

Health will come w ith all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a ques
tion of right-living, with all tho term implies, but the efforts which strengthen tho system,
the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is
also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsani
tary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that tho
medicinal agents used should be of the. best, quality and of known value, and the one remedy
which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co.
With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient eliar*
acter and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to
the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a con
stipated condition of the system, take. Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and
pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of
any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required
remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with
the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty
cents per bottle.
The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the
combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and
uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family
from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and
share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of
known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that itacts gently
and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, In anyway, as it is free from every ob
jectionable quulitv or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the
genuine and the full name of the Co.-California Fig Syrup Co—is printed on the front of every
package.
