A STRAIGHT TIP.

ha ^ 1windled his love' had increased,
and, now that he was without a 'cent,
the combination of remorse and ins
fatuation rendered him utterly miser-
able, If he could win a thousand
dollars on Starry Flag he would pro-
pose to his inamorata that very night.
But where, Wel where, could he place
his white, thin, hand on a hundred
dollar bili.
A vision of bank notes reposing in a
safe only a few feet from his desk was
before him, His superior, the cashier,
always locked the safe when he went
home to luncheon, but Comstock knew
the combination of the lock. He bad
naught a glimpse of it one day on a
memorandum pad of the cashier.
Supposing that he borrowed a few
dollars from the safe ? He could
place the money on Starry Flag, who
ran in the first race, cash his winning
ticket by three o'clock and replace the
money he had used before the cashier
settled up for the day.
As Comstock entered his office and
seated himself at his desk a cold per-
spiration covered his body and his hand
1 trembled as he took up a pen. He

Comstock can stand the strain no

enters the pool room. At that instant

liaised the Church Debt.
ROW FORCE OF IIAIBIT LED A GAMBLER
INTO A QUEER PREDICA1.IENT.
Talk of raising church debts, the
man who had been everywhere said to
a Buffalo Express reporter : I cleared
up a debt for a church in Deadwood
once in spite of myself.
Yes ? •
It happened in this way : I had
been playing poker the night before in
great luck. Came 'out a cool $10,000
-winner. Then a kind of remorse
came over me and I made up my mind
it would be a good time to reform. 1
resolved to quit poker and be respect-
able, and ',thought a good way to be,
gin would be by going to church. So
I fixed myself up and walked into the
biggest church iti the place. My in-
tentions were really good, but I hadn't
slept any that night.
1 The sermon was rather prosy and I
went to sleep. After the sermon the
parson explained that the church was
a little in debt and he thought this
would be a good time to pay it off. I
woke up just in time to hear him say :
We must raise $5,000.
Well, you see, 1 • was half asleep,
thought 1 was still playing poker and
hearing that put me • on my nerve.
The deacon with the plate was right
beside me in the aisle. 1 pulled out
my roll and yelled, out : I'll see that
$5,000 and go $5,000 better, With
that I put my whole $ 10,000 on the
plate.
They were used to such talk out
there. They thought I was a gambler
that had got religion,and before 1 was
well enough awake to know where 1
was the whole congregation' Vas singe
ing and the minister was praying for
me. I is asn't going ' to back water
then, so I let the money go. • Got a

said. And then he added : By the

through the crowd toward his office.
He was assistant cashier for a well!,
known business house on lower Broad
way and had won the confidence of
his employers. He earned a good
salary, and, being a, bachelor of simple
habits, he managed to save consider-
able money.
But temptation comes to all men,
and Julius Comstock, one day in early
Summer, took a fatal step. Surround-
ed as he was by men who in their
business operations gambled upon a
large scale, he had gradually become
influenced by the load striving for
sudden wealth that went -on about
him.
His sthell capital did not permit
him to toy with the fascinating un,
certaitities of stockspeculations, so'
he began to engage in the equally
perilous process of betting on horse
races. In pursuit of this occupation
he had made the ' acquaintance cf a
prominent member of the talent, who
deigned now and then 40 give the
young man a pointer. 'The result was
that by the first of August Julius
Comstock had exhausted his bank
account and had drawn his salary for
a month in advance.

Edison's Wonderful Patience.
As flies torment the lion so the race
of pirates annoys Edison. It has
always made me hopping mad, he said
recently, to think of the free hooters
in this electric business, not merely
stealing the radical invention which
made the lamp possible, but taking
advantage gratis of the long: "line of
thousands of experiments which I had
made'night and day for a couple • of
years. Pirates and unsuccessful ex•
periments were Edison's chief annoy-
ance, for many. years. The story of
the great trial of patience lie had with
the making of the first carbon . lamp
will show the obstacles he encounter-
ed. The carbon of this first lamp was
made pf a spoof of Clark's thread.
Edison and his assistant worked two
days and nights to produce the carbon,
and then started with it to the glues -
blower's house. As they set it dowel
it brofre. They at once returned to
the laboratory and made another one,
and with it returned . to the glass -i.
blower's den. As it was deposited on
the bench, a jeweler's screw -driver
rolled down and broke it. They turn-
ed back a third time, and alter an
exhausting day they completed a car-
bon and managed to get it inserted in
the lamp. The receptable was ex.
hausted of air and sealed, the current
turned on, and for the first time the
light sprang out in all its beauty.
As ho hurried hack to his duties he
was in' a very unenviable '.frame of
(mind. The passion for gambling had
' taken fulloces tion of his soul, and
he lnnged, 'with the rather watery
ardor of a blonde individuality to
