A disposition to steal somethin' was born just a few moments before, but a man may gam ble and not be a thier. There is such a thing as an honest gambler that is, a gambler who is willing to give a man a fair chance to lose his money. The gambler wants your money, and it ain't much trouble for him- to accommodate his conscience as to the way he gets it If he is sharp er than you are be compliments him self with the fact that he understands bis business, and every man that has ' a trade likes to know its details better than the other man does." Thus spoke old Limuel to a few friends who were gathered about the 'fireside in the Jucklin home. The wind was bowling and the snow, like shredded sheets, was flying past th windows. ; "But you don't believe that all gamblers are thieveB?" remarked old ' man Drizintine. . "I said I didn't. But there ain't nothin' that will strain a man's hon- , esty more than gamblin' will." "That's been preached on many a time," Brizintine spoke up. "But I never gambled in my life, and " "And you don't know just how far you are honest," Lim broke in. "I don't know that I understand you." "Didn't think you did." replied Juck lin. "But I can explain. The man that gambles has more temptations to steal than any other man. When he has lost everything a strong resent ment arises against life. It is almost impossible for him to believe that ho has been fairly beaten, aad if he is broad enough to acknowledge this he then questions Fate for her one sidedness. He wants to know what right she's got to discriminate so against him. It has been said that all jnen are natural gamblers, and it may be true, for the most of us have had to fight against it. "Unfortunately for man. work was put on him as a curse. The fact is. It ennobles him, but he accepted it as a curse. And when his brother has . committed a crime, not grave enough to hang him, he says: 'I will sen tence you to work.' In the olden times a man that worked wan't respected as much as the highwayman. They hanged the robber. It is true, but they respected him more than they did the man that handled the hoe. And . the gambler is a sort of social high wayman. I don't say he Is a bad fel- :ler. In many instances he per suades himself to believe that his profession is right He puts up his money, takes chances, and if he wins he has come by the money as honestly as if he had dug in the ground for it he thinks. And as long as he wins he may be honest. But IWH- MMVWWWVWWVWMMWMAAAAAAAMAM K:fV wplBpFi I1ILD Papa, what is a New Yorker? Papa My child, a New Yorker is one who lives in New York who has his residence there. A New Yorker may be a Chinaman from Pell street, or a Polish Jew from Rivington street, or a Syrian from Washington street, or an Ital ian from the Ital ian quarter, or a Greek or Jap or Swede or any na tionality at all. provided he lives in New York city. Child Well, sup nose a Russian lives in Brooklyn. Papa He is a New Yorker. Child Well, if a Portuguese lived in the Bronx? Papa He would be a New Yorker. Of course, my child. In a large sense, all inhabitants of the state of New York are New Yorkers, but generally speaking, by the term New Yorker is meant one who lives in the city of New York, and that is why a China man out on Staten island is a New Yorker. Child Papa, does a man have to be a foreigner in order to live in New York? Papa What a question, my child. Of course not There are many living in "New York whose native language is English. Child Oh. they were born there? Papa Not necessarily. Some were born in Great Britain and Ireland and some in the British possessions, but they all speak English and they live in New York and are New Yorkers. Child Then, if I understand you aright, my dear father, a man who lives in New York and who speaks English must have been born either in Great Britain, Ireland, or some where in the British possessions. Papa Net at all. There are native Americans who speak 'English and who live in New York. Child And where are they from? Papa Some were born in New Eng land, some on the Pacific coast, some in the middle west and some in the south. . '' A- V his principles undergo a change when he begins to lose. Then he can't help feelin' that he is givln 'the other feller too much show. When he has lost all he must have money in order to carry on his business. Sup pose he is employed to collect money suppose he is in a bank. If he refrains from takia' money to gam ble with he is honest desperately honest, yon might .say. And he may refrain day after day for years; but some day be may find himself weak. This weakness may consist of an over confidence in self in an overabun dance of hope, in a faith that he will win and can pay back. Right there he is gone. Think you are strong enough to stand such a temptation as that. Brother Brizintine?" "I would not use any man's money," Brizintine answered. "I surely have sense enough to know what is my own, and knowing what is not my own I have honesty enough not to take it" "Yes," replied Jucklin, "and what you have said is the answer that nine out of ten men would make and hon estly, too. But the fact is, you don't know." "What! do you mean to say I don't know whether or not I'm honest?" "I mean just what I say you don't know. It is all very well for the un tried man to believe himself strong, but unless he has been severely tried he does not know." "Do you know. Brother Jucklin?" "Well, 111 tell you just how far I know. Many years ago I was workin' at a mill that took in a good deal of money. Finally they gave me charge of it Along about that time a party of us used to meet two or three times a week to play a social game of poker. It got to be so sociable that it kept me broke. I knew that it was largely a game of luck and that the cards would break even after awhile, and that may be true. In the long run, but the run is too long. In the course of a thousand years they might have broke even, but as it was, they broke with just enough promise to hold me tied in fascination to the game. I began to borrow money and it took all of my wages to pay it back. One night I went over to meet the boys. I didn't have a cent of my own. and I wouldn't have gone if I hadn't thought that some one would lend me enough to get into the game. But everyone hemmed and hawed and spoke of the extreme need for money, of hard times and the like the very men who had week after week got all of my wages. Just then it flashed across me that in my pocket were more than a hundred dollars belong! n' to the mill. With this amount as a backin' I felt sure that I could win back some of the money I had lost. It was perfectly plain I could do it At some stage of the game I had near ly always been ahead, but wouldn't Child Then they are the real New Yorkers. Papa Not necessarily. Any man Who lives in New York for any length of time becomes a New Yorker, no matter where he may have been born. When he travels he registers from New York. Child Is it in the air? Papa It is In the air. The western 'er despises New York until he has made a fortune, and then he comes to New York to spend it. and after that he is a New Yorker. The southerner who has come to New York to live may say that he was born in the south, and if he doesn't his tongue will do it for him. but he glories in being a citizen of New York. The New Englander feels that he has hon ored New York by coming to it and that without him New York would not amount to much, but he, too, signs his name in the register as from New York. Child How about the Jerseyman, papa? Papa The Jerseyman is an alto gether different proposition. Six Jer seymen out of ten do business in New York, and of those six five were born in Brooklyn when she was just Brook lyn. The Jerseyman is not, strictly speaking, a New Yorker. If New York is in disgrace he thanks his stars that he spends his nights in an other state, but if New York wins a point he pats himself qn the back and says: "I'm here most of my waking time." The Jerseyman also Is sorely tempted to sign his name as from New York when he is out in Chicago, for instance, and when he is in Eu rope he does do it Child Well, papa, you have told me about foreigners who were New Yorkers, and about English-speaking people who were New Yorkers and about Americans who were New York ers, but I want to know if there couldn't be a more perfect kind of New Yorker than any of these one who was born in New York and who spoke English? Papa Why, yes, my child; there are thousands born in New York who speak English. They are hard and fast New Yorkers. Their parents were Germans and Italians and Frenchmen and Jews and Greeks, but they were born in New York and they speak English. Child Then, papa, they are the real New Yorkers, aren't they? Papa WelL I believe that they are . I I I ? i - y pie RJ quit But why couldn't I quit? The oher fellers jumped, and with my money. Why couldn't I do the same? I broke out In a sweat I strove to bring up .arguments against my sit ting in the game and couldn't. Luck whispered that it was with me, and it didn't seem possible that I could lose. Never before had I felt so strongly that it was my night I arose and walked up and down the room. I could hear my .blood singin. I turned and looked at the boys, each one with an expression of eagerness on his face. I felt myself superior to them. I could beat them. There they sat, completely within the power of my skill and my luck. I could win enough to pay back the money that I owed, and with my wages I could buy clothes and I needed 'em. Sudden ly I rushed out of the house, and I ran ran all the way to the home of the mill owner snatched his money out of my pocket and gave it to him. I told him what I had gone through with, and be turned pale and took hold of the mantelpiece to steady himself. 'My son,' said be, 'I have been all along there, only I didn't rua away until afterward. They caught me and brought me back, and it was only by the grace of of human nature Lhat I didn't go to the penitentiary." In the company there were three young fellows. The old man's recital had moved them. "And did you play again. Uncle Lim?" one of them in quired. "No, I didn't. And although It majr appear narrow in me, but let me say that a playin' card shan't come into my house. In itself a deck of cards is innocent enough, and so is a bottle of licker if you don't drink it It i3 true, though, so far as my experience counts, that nearly every gambler be gins in a social way, without any thought of becomin' one. Very few of them set out with the aim to make gamblin' their profession. Takehosses, for instance. Nearly all men like a fine hoss like to see him run. They develop a judgment as to the runnin' qualities of a hoss and finally are willln' to back it up with money. Whose business is it? The money be longs to them and was honestly earned. Understand, now, I ain't a prcachin' a moral sermon for I ain't fitted for that I just want to talk in a human nature sort of way for the benefit of these boys. Don't bet on anything. That's the safest plan. If there's no fun in goln' to hoss races unless you bet, don't go." "But haven't you bet on roosters?" old Brizintine inquired, looking wise. "Well, I have seen the feathers fly from the wrong chicken," Lim an swered. "And if I have bet, and have seen the evil of It I am all the fitter to talk to these young chaps. Boys, If you don't want to be on trial all your life, don't bet on anything." (Copyright, by Ople Read.) attell LmoIs considered to be the most patriotic New Yorkers because their New Yorkism is so new; but, my child, in this city of which we are speaking, this city cf nearly 4,000.000 inhabi tants, there is a little class, without much influence, to be sure, but still self-respecting and respected by oth ers, a mere handful, it is true, but a very intelligent handful. Child And who are they, papa? Papa They, my child, are the na tive American New Yorkers, whose parents and grandparents and great grandparents, to the third and fourth generation, were born and brought up in New York. Child And who always spoke Eng lish? Papa Well, no. They spoke Dutch originally, but they have spoken Eng lish longer than the majority of the rest. Those are the real New York ers. Child I never heard of them. Where do they keep themselves? Papa One of them is the president of the United States. Child Oh. yes. of course. So he is a Simon-pure New Yorker? Papa Well, no; come to think of It, he isn't, because I believe his mother was a southerner. Child Well, do the Simon-pure New Yorkers sign their names as from New York? Papa Yes, my boy, they do, and they would like to be able to sign in a special colored ink to make it more emphatic. Child Well, papa. I suppose that if they could have kept out the for eigners and the English-speaking aliens apd the Yankees and the southerners and the westerners, and just left New York for the real born and bred New Yorkers, New, York would be even greater than it is? Papa No. no. my boy. No city ever gets to the top of the pile unaided. It is because of all these people who have come in to show New York how to misgovern itself that she Is the greatest city on the western hemis phere and is destined to be the great est city that the sun ever shone upon. Child And what will become of the real New York New Yorkers? Papa They will disappear after a while. Child Why, papa? Papa Because it is getting to be the fashion to be born in the country. Child Oh!

"About four years ago I had a very severe attack of inflammatory rheuma tism. My skin peeled, and, the high fever played havoc with my hair, which came out in bunches. I also had three large bed sores on my back. I did not gain very rapidly, and my appetite was very poor. I tried many 'sure cires' but they were of little help, and until I tried Cuticura Re solvent I had had no real relief. Then my complexion cleared and soon I felt better.

The health board of Washington, N.

This is the pub lication as it has appeared in the pa pers of Washington: "Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vine gar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let ting it simmer five or tenv minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and In a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this toe-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but con tinue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest This rem edy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians New England has ever known, who never lost a patient by the disease, and won his renown by simple remedies."
