This is the story a western man told to a paety of racing men. He proved it, too, in part at least, by referring to a tui e guide and a church almanac. "It was on Jane 29, 1895, that I got the biggest returns On a small investment of money that it was ever my luck to get before or since," he said. "I was in ()hi. cago. The town was wide open. Some of the poolrooms had 10 cent combine - tion pools. You could pick out three horses on the blackboard to win for a dime and get a little ticket with a 'lum- ber on it for your combination. The house took out a 10 per cent commission, and the remainder of the entire pool was divided among the holders of tickets on tbe winning combination. "Well, tbat 201.11 day of :June I had just a 10 cent piece in my pocket when I left the house in the morning, and I hugged it all the morning closer than a thistle waiting for, the combInation pools to , open up for businees. aly landlady, who eves •a very good Catholic, had just. re- turned from early mass as I finished my morning coffee, and she told me that on the church calendar it was St. Peter's day. In glancing over the morning pa- per I ran across an itennalso mention ing St. Peter's day, and later in the morning a crowd or people coming out from a church which I was passing by again called my attention to the festival. - "About 2 o'clock I strolled into Riley's ig poolroom, on the corner of Clark street and the alley, and began to study the horses on the combination board. Among the entries in three ofe the five eastern races which were chalked up for the day's game were three names that instantly commanded my attention. These Ilallle$ were St. Peter, Peter L and Blue Peter. These horses had no earthly license to win any ono of the three races, but strive as I 'did to put 'them out of my calculations I could not help liulsing them with the fact of its being St. Peter's day aud feeling that it was going; to be their day too. If I had been the owner of a $10 note, 1 would as soon have burned it as placed it on any one of their chalices, but with only 10 cents there seemed to be everything to gain and next to nothing to lose. So I got a ticket on the three "Then the telegraph instrument began to click, and they were off. After the first Peter had gone through all right, - as of course he did, I felt an amazing mount of confidence. When the board snaelter had footed up the total of all • the tickets and deducted the 10 per cent commission, he marked up on the blacke' board the total sum in the day's pool, which amounted exactly to $437.50. Now, 1 held the only ticket on the three Pe- ters and was of course entitled to the •entire 'tell if only the two other name - Bakes of the good saint should doas t swell as the first. . aie f'1 was quite calm when in the course -14 e ' alf an hour the operator again an- ao eed that they were off and really lee ;it as quite a matter of course that rm, t L should lead his field home, as he e'": Vinuengs-very efsellyeand never for- ° sii4. h moment giving me any anxiety 'low he would celebrate the anni- ry: After that I wouldn't have my ticket for a dollar less than the sum it called for, with Blue Peter, the rani est kiud of an outsider, yet to be beard from. ' "When the odds were posted for the race in which the last of the Peters was to do his act, there was a prohibitive fa.- ' eorite against him at something like 1-2 en, which made Blue Peter's chances look very much like 30 cents, and 1 will tonfess to just a momentary weakening, luring which I might have been open to negotiations. There were all sorts of odds offered against Blue Peter's chances in the various poolrooms, but none of them held a Candle to the odds that 1 bad on him, with my ticket. A hundred to one is pretty good odds, but those fig- ures seem small compared to the odds 1 bed against Blue Peter, with over $437 le, win against 10 cents. You may imaga • lam that when the instrument began to click and the operator started in to give a deeliription of that race I felt a much novo vivid interest in the proceedings &elf if I had bet 1.0,000 on an even , taisney favorite Who couldn't possibly lose -'unless he dropped dead. Did Blue Peter win? Yes, and when the Official 'All right!' came in over the wire a few min- utes afterward there was only one man in line in front of the combination cash- ier's desk, and he walked away with just $437.50. I was the man." . It is not to be wondered at that the group of horsemen doubted this story.

In the course of els visit he was much in company of his lifelong friend, Colonel Ao Berds. one of the pillars of the eommunity. With Colonel Ito Bards he made a tour of the churebes one bright Suridity morning, taking particulae interest in the children. At the place of hi e first visit the host told the Sunday echool superintendent that the distin- guished visitor would be glad to address the little folks. Mr. Idaemens at ouce grew reminiseent. He wes glad to be home again, back among the hills of leis early youth, where, he knew every rock and gully. It was good to be in the old home Sunday school again. Here Colo- nel Ro Barde and the superinteudent ex- eitazgeinglances of doubt. "Yes," continued the speaker, "and you must know how it delights me to be in this Sunday echool, where every bench is to me an old friend. I eat right over there where the et0Y0 used to be -right in that seat where the little girl with the red dress is now. Ah, how it all comes back to me!" Then Colouel Ito Bards pulled at the famous man's coattails and indicated that it was time to hurry on. At the next Sunday school Mr. Clemens was soon on his feet. • "My dear friends," he said, "I am so happy to be here again, close to the scenes I once knew so well, .for right there, within 20 feet of where 1 stand, is the seat in which I, used to sit with Charles Curtis" (or some one equally web knewn). "I-Iow well I remember it all!" Colonel Ro Bards blushed for his guest and begged a pressure of tinie as an ex- cuse for leaving. When the two were safely out of the church, Colonel Ro Bards turned on him.' "See here, Sam," he said, "you never welit to Sunday school in that church: It , wasn't there when you lived in Hannibal, or the other one either, tor that matter." "Goodness me! Can that be so?" Mr. Clemens exclaimed. "How time deees • Then the two visited a third church, a spick and span new one, of which the congregation was very proud. Mr. Clem- , ens, as soon as his presence became known, was duly pressed for a few re- marks. I "I can only say," he said, "that I am very happy to be here this morning. The sight of this magnificent edifice re- calls to my mind other days than this. ' It brings to my thoughts another group of youngsters, hardly as well dressed as these bright faced boys and girls, but all quite as anxious to become good men and women. 1 was one of them. My seat was over there near where the boy with a red necktie is sitting. Indeed I think it must be the sameseat." Then, walking closer, as if to scrutinize the place more carefully, he said, "Yes, it's the same." "Come on," said Colonel Ito Bards; "it's time to go to dinner." OPENING OYSTERS. A !dew !England Man TeU Iow It Slhould. Be Done. "People around New York do not seem to understand opening oysters," said the New England man, "while in the most insignificant places in Rhode Island or Massachusetts there are experts. Here yoii all have a regular instrument tor it, while in New England a may can open an oyster with nothing but a knife and do It quicker than any one can eat them, without breaking the shell. Here you have a block of lignum vitm, vvith a cold chisel or something of that nature stand- ing up in the center. Oa that the man breaks the edge of the oyster shells and the pries them open with his knife. "Now, my friend Aleck gave me lessons in opening oysters, and I think 1 could do it myself better than any one I have seen try it around here. Aleck lived in a small town where he kept a very small market, in which he sold meat on meat daysandfish on Fridays and oysters all the week through. "To open oysters as Aleck did you lay the oyster with the rounded half of the shell In the hollow of your left hand with the hinge to the wrist. Do-esn about an inch or an inch and a half frora the hinge ie what Aleck called an eye, and in that he would insert his knife, give a quick upward 'notion, and the upper shell was off in a jiffy, the oyster lying as clean as possible in the hollow shell. It was out if it had to conie out with an- other quick motion of the knife. There is really only a little knack to it. "There was never an oyster that Aleck could not open and with his eyes open or shut, drunk or sober. Aleck was proud of his expertness as an oyster opener in a county of oyster openers, and it was when he was drunk that he wee most likely to give exhibitions. Aleck was one of those men who are never drunk in oteeffe.a, s Tees liquor rnade isho talk, and he is u an imiNble. desire t� show "On the occ4sions of his special sprees be was likelA to take himself out of town to Bos*. or Providence, and Once he get as far /away from home as Chica- go.

Aleck in his best clothes did not have the appearance of being in the oyster .opening business. The result would be that there would be a chal- lenge, and Aleck would always come out ahead.
