"Do you see that man there ?" ask. -
ed a Chicago• physician of a Tribune
reporter. "He is a reputable business
]roan, has at wife and sever -al children
to whom he Is devotedly attached, and
i+.
there is every reason 1n the world,
except one, why he should be happy.
"Look at his face; mark the pallor;
obferve the twitching of the mouth
and the restless and haggard look
about the eyes; see how his fingers
jerk, and note the uneasy shrug of
his shoulders. That man is in the
first throes of a form of circular in-
sanity, which is better known as In-
ebriety. The craving for drink is upon
him, hot as the charge of a thousand
Curies. He has a perpdical rhythmic
drunk about exery six months, and
, during the last four or five days his
brain has been a seething caldron; his
•zterves have been a -quiver, and his
thoughts have been madness. He
kntws to a demonstration that he can-
not overcome the gnawing appetite,
yet he fights it with desperation. Talk
about yourroes of Thermopylae and
..Ialaklava Inkerman—why that
fellow slttin -there, a pale, trembling,
cowering wretch, has more nerve in
him than 100 heroes of history com-
bined; every nerve cell—every one of
tho countless millions—has a mouth
which has been crying for drink for
i:o'v these several days. He has re-
solved that he will not yield; has be-
fore him the memory of half a hun-
Cred such Titan struggles in which he
fell, and still he resists. Ordinary
., men require the stimulus of an oc-
casional victory in order to summon
courage for action. This man, with a
past full of discouragement and de-
feats, yet has the nerve to resist the
demon that is irresistible.
"A truce to the sentimental ignor-
ance of humanity, which has only re-
proaches and sneers for a man like
hint. I know him intimately as his
physician and friend, and I tell you
tl,at there Is in him the stuff that mar-
tyrs are made of; yet within a week
he will be overcome of drink; a vile
wretch, as public estimate puts it.
He will drink to satiety, to repletion,
to bestiality. In his madness he will
consort with low fellows; you may
find him yourself in the slums, pos-
sibly with the vicious even, but I
swear to you that he is a man and
a noble man for all. that. No one
knows better than he when the first
stages of the craving seize him; a
the ueand needle prickirgs occur syn-
„,,..„chronously all over his body; now and
" , then the-persptr'atlon suffuses him,
and then he is dry; his skin is parch-
ed, He is not athirst as men count

of that which is insatiate; all the

satisfy he burning desire. He tem-

tit mild decoctions as ginger ale, sweet
cider, etc.; possibly he make a

there may be in store for the latter. i
' No one kncays better than he that they

"There come to him—aye, probably
at this very moment, for you will see
a tender expression has crept over hls
' face—thoughts of the long ago, of the
dear, black-eyed girl who with blush- i
Ing cheeks of red stood with him at
the altar, and he vowed to comfort
and keep her so long as she should
live. He thinks of the tender vows he
whlsced in her ear at eventide; of
the p4t'tle of his first babe; of her love
and } er gentleness and tenderness
through all the' years they have been

his brow—there is the memory.

"l'OP AND BOTTOlii."
There are people imbued with a cer-
tain love of adventure, and there are
other people abnormally curious. 1 be-
long to the latter.cfass, and my curiosi-
ty often gels the better of rue.
My friend Wilson, who is a member
of the secret service on the police force,
the night before had been relating to
me some rather interesting reminis-
cences of his experience with a certain
element of society known to us as
"confidence men," and he was inconsid-
erate enough to arouse my curiosity.
"Curia," he said (that 1s my nick-
name :toeing the buys), "your desire to
investigate all phases of humanity may
lead you Into trouble one of these days,
hut if you have a mind to try the ex-
periment and will follow my instruc-
tion_, I think 1 can provide yuu with
enough amusement to -morrow to last
you for several weeks."
I couldn't stand the pressure, and
jumped at the chance.
"You have all the natural require-
ments," said Wilson. "You look very
green and unsophisticated, and you will
at once bete me an object of interest
to the confidepce 'steerer.' The part
you will play is a stipple one. All you
have got to d•) is to snake the oppor-
tunity and the 'steerer' will do the
rest. Remember one thing—under no
circumstances bet or loan money to
anyone you chance to meet."
Then 'Wilson gave me my lesson. A
suitable wardrobe was arranged for
me to impersonate a green country
youth, and bright and early the next
morning 1 alighted from a train at
the Northwestern depot. I was looking
for a confidence man, and though -Wil-
son assured me I would not meet with
any serious injury or serious trouble
so long as I kept my eyes open, still
I must confess I felt a certain sense of
nervous uncertainty which in a timid
man might be attributed to fear.
My Instructions were limited. When
I reached the depot In the garb of a
county youth, all that was required
was to conduct myself as a stranger
naturally would; stand around the
waiting room for a few moments, and
if no one approached me to go to the
street and gaze up and down us if un-
certain which way to proceed.
I first waited in the depot until the
passengers had all left, but as no one
approached me I decided to try the
street. Here I met with no danger
elgnals other than a lot of cab drivers,
who tried to persuade 'me they knew
more of my business than I did myself,
and insisted that I wanted to take a
ride. But I was looking for a confi-
dence man, and I gave these fellows
to understand that I was a very posi-
tive country boy.
Between Erie and Huron streets on
Wells there Is a small dry good store
with rather an odd display in the win-
dow, and as I came along there were
several people standing in fruht in-
specting the wares. .1s I always want
to see everything that anybody else
considers worth looking at, I stopped
also. Among the spectators was a man
who looked to me to be a Swedish emi-
grant, and as his curiosity was appar-
ently as abnormal as urine we were
both standing there when the rest had
gone.
As I was about to move on the Swed-
ish emigrant turned to me and 1n
broken English said:
":Wester, yo can tell me var Ay lint
State street?"
It would have been just as easy for
me to tell the truth, and thare was no
apparent settees' why I slimed du
otherwise, but it was my mission that
morning to appear in the light of a
stranger in the city myself and could
strtanger in the city myself and could
Peet tell him where to find State suet.
There seems to be an affinity of soul
between strangers In a strange land,and
the Swede warmed towards me. Or-
dinarily the Swedish emigrant is not
my choice of companion, bet I had been
disappointed In my morning escapade,
and when he asked me which way I
came from and where I was going, I
allowed myself to gradually drift Into
conversation. I informed him 1 had
just came in from Dakota, where 1 had
been working on a farm, and was on
my way to my home In Ohio,
"Dat so? Ay ben yust from Noo
York, var Ay ben yid mast uncle six
mont since Ay came from Ole Country.
Ay go now to Meenegota to vork. Yo
know set place?."
No, 1 del not know much about Min-
nesota, only having passed through the
state on my way to Dakota.
The re nversatton drifted from one
thing to another as we walked along
Wells street, until, passing by one of
those Institutions calculated to cheer
the inner man, my new acquaintance
asked me to have something warm. I
am not a drinking man, but the ,weath-
er was Paul, and i decided a stimulant
would not he had, so 1 accepted his
invitation.
As we were about to order something
a well-dressed, genteel -looking man
came In and epoke to us.
"Going to have a drink?"
i answered that we warn.
"Well, 1 thought I'd have something
myself. Won't You join me"
"V' can't do det," said the Swede.
"Why not?"
"Vel, dar ben two of us, and yust hut
von of you; yo drink vld us."
"No, but i'll shake you the dice to see
who pays the bill."
The Swede consented, but salrl he
only knew how to shake one kind of
dice He explained his way of shak-
ing, and the slick -looking man agreed
that it would save time, so we proceed-
ed.
One of the party was to turn the dice
box, containing three dice, upside down,
and we were all to make a guess at
the number the tops and bottoms of the
three dice added together would make,
and the one farthest from the mark
was to pay for the drinks. Our Rllck
friend guessed 17, I guessed 23 and the
Swede 20, We turned the box over,
counted the tops and bottoms, added
them together, and found the number
to be 21.
The new gentleman became interest-
ed and wanted to try It again, but the
Swede said I had paid for one drink
and he Would pay for the next. The
stranger wouldn't have that, so MY
Swedish friend Raid he would play 1f he
Would allow him to pay for the drinks
in case he failed to call the exact num-
ber. We both demurred, but the awed.'
insisted, and chose 21. Sure enough,
that was the number again, The slick -
looking friend became more interest-
ed at this, and volunteered that the
Swede could opt do it again, and that
he would bet any amount of money
that he couldn't, I said nothing, and
the Swede said he never gambled, but
was sure he could guess the correct
number.
Our friend excused himself for a mo-
ment to run across to the drug store,
but asked us to wait for him. Now
this fellow looked to me thoroughly
like a sharper, and when the Swede ex-
plained the dice trick to me during his
absence I could scarcely contain my-
self.
• "Ay don't vanten vin his money from
hlrn," said the Swede, "but I can do det
ever time. Ay learn det in Nuo York.
liar been de vay to dont."
You see one side of the dice added to
the one just opposite will always make
seven, and the three added together
will always make 21, Much as I have
shaken dice, this never occurred to me.
When our friend returned and offer-
ed to wager $20 that the Swede could
not guess the number again I was
forced to conceal my laughter. The
Swede said he was sure he could, and
ofd nut want to win the man's money,
whereupon the stranger became a trifle
sarcastic and made a few remarks
about people's nerve that were decided-
ly distasteful to me. That Swede call-
ed me to one side and asked my advice.
Now, I may be wrong, but I have no
sympathy with what are known as
"fresh" people. The Swede had only
110, and I just made up my mind that
we would let the slick man lose his
entire $20, so I gave him $10 more.
It was decided to let the bartender
count the dice, to make sure of no mis-
take. Poor fellow, I really began to
feel sorry for the man of polish, and
half made up my mind to return my
$10 of the winnings, accompanied with
a little good advice not to go and do it
again.
The Swede turned the dice box upside
down and guessed 21; the bartender
six on the top side, making a total of
lifted it off, disp]aylntSa four, one and
11. The dice were turned over, and—
you have probably at some time had
that peculiar feeling, wondering how
it happened—there was a three, five
and one, making nine. The total, you
see, was 20. No one said anything for
a moment, and the bartender quietly
gave the slick -looking man the money.
He courteously bought the cigars and
bid us good morning.
The poor Swede, his heart was
broken. He had lost all the money he
had in the world and had a long jour-
ney before him. He said he had a
railroad ticket, but not even money
to provide himself with a meal. Al-
though he caused me to lose $10, I really
felt sorry for him and gave him an-
other dollar to get something to eat.
That seemed to cheer him up a little.
He gave me his name and the place
where he was ging to work, saying he
would send me the money, and then I
bade him good -by.
Last night Wilson called to see me.
"Well, Curio, how did the expr'el-
ment work? Did you succeed in being
buncoed?"
"Not much. I never even saw a
confidence man. • Guess you were trying
to play a practical joke on me."
"No, I was not. Did you follow my
instructions?"
"To the letter,"
"That's strange. You must try it
again. So your venture was fruitless?"
"Well, no, it was not altogether
fruitless. A rather peculiar circum-
stance happened," and I explained all
that had taken place from the time
I ]eft the depot, When I had finished
Wilson looked at me In blank amaze-
ment for a moment, and Then lapsed
into a convulsive fit of laughter.
Now I don't like being ridiculed and
never did, and as 1 could not see where
the joke came in insisted upon an ex-
planation.
"Curio, my boy," said Wilson, "you
are an object of pity." That made me
mad, but I kept quiet. "How it is
possible for a man of your apparent
intelligence to knpw so little I can't
conceive."
I muttered something about people
who were not fond of my style not be-
ing compelled to cultivate me, but Wil-
son only laughed.
"I suppose you have been wondering
ever since how it happened?"
To be perfectly honest, I had, but I
wouldn't tell him so.
"You see, Curio, you ran up against
the little game known to confidence
men as 'T. and IT (top and bottom).
You are not the first victim. Your Swe-
dish friend Is one of the hest -known
confidence 'steerers' in Chicago, and
the slick man is his confederate. And
now, dear boy, the next time you go
out looking for eonfldence men leave
your money at home."
"That sounds well, but you haven't
told me yet how it happened."
"Well, you see, while you were turned
away, trying to conceal your laughter
from the slick mart, 'your Swedish
friend was substituting dice made to
order, on which the top and bottom
added together will not make seven."
Perhaps Wilson was right, but to-
morrow I'm going to see If I can't find
a confidence man that I'll recognize
as soon as I meet him.—Chicago Tri-
bune.

•A WONDERFUL GARDEN.
Or Perhaps It Is poly the Story W Woh Ie
so Wonderful,
Most people, says the Portland Ore-
gonian, have heard of the•• hanging
gardens of Babylon, the modern roof
gardens and the gardens or boating
islands in which vegetables used to
be grown for the citizens of ancient
Mexico, but probably few have heard
of a garden on board a ship, with farm
yard attachrnent. The splendid ship
Mowhan, now in port, and the largest
vessel which has ever been here, had
such an arrangement on board during
her trip to Oregon. On leaving Bel-
fast for Portland she took on board as
ballast 2,000 tons of Irish soil, which,
when leveled elf, made quite a stretch
of ground, and, as the soil of Ireland
Is proverbially fertile, the ship's com-
pany proceeded to put it to good use
by planting a stock of garden truck
in it—cabbage, leeks, turnips, radishes,
lettuce, peas, beans, etc, The seeds
cane up all right and the plants flour-
ished finely, and when the ship was
in the tropics grew with great rapid-
ity. As they progressed toward the
Horn and the weather- grew colder,
things came to perfection rapidly. The
crew and ship's apprentices amused
themselves by weeding and cultivating
the plants, and the captain and officers
took regular walks In the garden daily,
and all had green vegetables to their
heart's content.
As they came around the Horn the
garden was replanted, and by the time
they reached the equator everything
was abloom, and all hands feasted on
fresh vegetables daily. The only draw-
backs to the garden were the weeds,
which grew so rapidly that they could
hardly be kept down, and the drove of
pigs, which were kept in the farm yard
attachment, and which on several oc-
casions, when the ship was bucking
into a nor -easter and rolling heavily,
broke out of the bounds and made se-
rious inroads on the garden. It Is a
serious matter to call all hands on
board ship, and Is only done in emer-
gencies, but when the pigs got into
the garden there was more pounding on
forecastle scuttles and handspikes and
blowing of boatswain's whistles than
if the ship had been laid aback by
typhoon or all the masts had been car-
ried away, and every sleeper was
aroused to help get the pigs out of
the garden.
The last pig was killed and served up
with green vegetables just before the
Mowhan entered the Columbia. On
the arrival of the Mowhan here the
Irish soil was discharged on the ele-
vator company's dock and piled up
neatly, so that any exiled patriot who
desires a bit of the "ould sod" can be
accommodated. The pile will doubtless
be covered with shamrocks by the
spring and will furnish boutonnieres
for a whole St. Patrick's day proces-
sion. Doubtless many a sack of it
will be carried off to fill flower pots,
etc. Although it comes from the "black
north," it is still the real "ould sod."
Blu Ring Cavi 13n Cured Easily.
"An annoyance with which many
persons are afflicted is the habit of
blushing," said Dr. Whiteside. "When
I was a young man I was a blusher of
the worst type. Advice' I had in plenty.
'Go into society,' recomended some;
'cultivate will power,' said others, with
as much sense; and so on It went, each
successively more stupid than the last,
until It became evident that relief
frcm outside was not forthcoming.
I pon turning the matter over in my
rr'nd, and before I had studied medi-
cine for any time, I came to the con-
cluslon that blusing was not a disease,
but a symptom—a symptom of a de -
fee ttve nervous system. The sequel
et( wed that, in my case at (east, this
was perfectly Correct, and I believe
that it Is equally true of the vast ma-
jor;ty of others. Having got thus far
1 set about removing the cause. I
carefully avoided tea, coffee, ktimu-
l.Ints, late hours and other agents
well known to gave an enervating In-
fluence, living at the same time as
healthy gas possible. The result was
most gratifying. At the end of a few
months blushing no longer made my
life Intolerable, and after a further
period of time the tendency almost
entirely disappeared."—Kansas City
Montreal's Rig Exposition.
A circular has been Issued which out-
t,nes the main features of the British
Empire Exposition which will be held
at Montreal from May 24 to October 12
of this year, This will be Canada's first
extensive effort in this direction, and
to judge from the prospectus, the par-
ticipation of a large number of nations
In both the old and new world is as-
sured. The exhibits will be divided
into 16 groups. They are: Architecture
and Forestry, Means of Transport,
General Industry, Food Industries,
River and Sea Fishery, Health, Ma-
chinery, Lighting, Industrial Arts,
Heating, Geographical Section, Com-
plete Furniture, Means of Safety, Gar-
dening, insurance, Miscellaneous. Be-
sides these there will be an art collec-
tion and a women and children's de-
partment. The buildings will comprise
a manufacturers and liberal arts build-
ing, a horticultural and agricultural
building, fine arts building and a pal-
ace of all nations, as well as other
structures. The grounds are situated
at the base of Mount Royal and cover
over 60 acres of land.
Tito Queen's Keeept ion,.
The most important social events of
the year in London are the drawing
rooms held by the Queen. At these
functions the presentations are made,
a ceremony so necessary to those so-
cially inclined. It was a former cus-
tom of the Queen always to be present
in person on these occasions, but of
late years her delicate health and
advancing years have often caused her
to allow the Prince and Princess of
Wales to take her place. This year, it
is announced, Her Majesty intends to
be present in person at the two first
drawing rooms, and they will take
place during the third week In Feb-
ruary and the second week In March.
As soon as the seoond one Is over,
Queen Victoria Will go to Nice for her
annual spring iliay on the Continent.
