A man’s peculiar babits, even the in nocent ones, may often get him into a peck of trouble, tu say nothing of petty embarrassment. . There is a wellknown young society man who always carries a silver matchbox in his trousers pocket and who has tallen into the urconcious practice of sticking his hand into his pocket and snapping the lid which op- erates with a spring. He doesn’t do it apy more, however, and there’s where the story comes in. A few evenings ago he was a guest atadance given in Horticultural Hali. Everything was moving smoothly toward the cotillion when a yell which might have done credit toa Comanche Indian sounded from one corner of the hall. Immediately there was the greatest consternation, and a feather-brained idiot shouted ' “Fire !

It was the fashion those times for the dudes to carry small canes with richly mounted and dec- orated heads. These were too small for use as walking sticks and were intended for show solely. Dick Cody was a dude of dudes, would change his clothes two and three times a day, and always looked as if he had just stepped out of a bandbox. After getting his share of a ‘‘trick,’’ as the robbery of the innocents was termed, Cody would strike for the nearest large city to have a good time, and this to his mind meant rich meals, a few bottles of wine .

If he won, he would keep on playing until the game closed gr the dealer turned up the box. If he lost, as he generally did, Dick would begin to look close- ly at the gold mounted stick he al- ways carried, and the, dealer knew what was coming. Handing over 'the cane Cody would say in a cool, natural manner, the same as if he was cashing a certified check: “Put Little Dick in for $500, please.”’ And no dealer who was on to his job ever refused hin. Win or lose, Cody was always around promptly to take his cane out of pawn. The stick itself was not worth at the outside more than $10, but Cody could go into any faro bank of note in the country and get a loan of $500 or any reasonuble sum on it. It was his way of giving a promis- sory note for the credit, and he never repudiated the obligation.—- Chicago Tribune. y SP” > : ited “A ALBERT SHAW 4 a Poy | -¢ ~ zt HIS magazine is, in its features, what its reade i “Tf only one magazine can be taken, we would suggest the i REVIEW OF REVIEWS, as covering more ground than any other magazine.”—Board of Library Commissioners af New Hampshire, 1896, mames of the English-speaking world, are pleased to call “absolutely up to date,"” “thoroughly abreast of the times,” “invaluable,” and “‘ indispensable.” with timely portraits, views, and cartoons. are of immediate interest; by the best authorities on their respect- 4ve subjects.
