Ben was in the habit of dropping into Morrissey's place occasionally, and one night about ten years ago he sauntered in as usual, and fell afoul of the bank. Morrissev was there, and many men about town, all of whom knew Wood s pluck and hang-on-ativeness, and, the party sat down for some lively work. Wood had about $3j000 in his pocket, and as the betting Was heavy, he managed to get to the Dottom in an hour, in fact, he was cleaned out. But his blood was up that night, and' as , his reputation for pluck was . at stake anions the boys. he decided tjhat once for all, it should De."mafce or breaic.'. His ready cash Was all. gone, but he ownfa valuable property on Troy row, where the Staats Zeituhg building now stands, and he proposed to hypothecate the sicme to Morrissey against whatever sum. up to its value, if, he should lose. The offer was accepted and the great fight began. It lasted all night and up to 9 o'clock next morning, and. when a truce was finally ' called. Ben had won back the 13,000 he started with, and secured fibout $120,000 ahead besides. With the money . .that Morrissey had ad vanced to him on , the hypothecated roperty, he turned round and gave bhn the worst whaling he ever re ceived at the card table. Not a sign of wincing was shown on either side until physical exhaustion forced a ces sation of hostilities. Both men were true grit to the last, and neither showed the least ill-temper from beginning to end. ' It was on that occasion that Ben performed the extraordinary feat of oinuitiug fw (worra oi cigars m one nitrhtj' VMbrrissev' Tiad a anenial hrand qfciars at$l each for his flush patrons, ana wooa, who is a tremendous smoker (Or chewer. ratber.forhe merelv chews furiously at a Cigar and then flings it away), managed to spoil "ninety of them while the fight lasted, - A Remarkable Cure. A remarkable cure by blood trans fusion has been wrought in Boston. Cecilia Merkel, a child of seven years, was attacked hrst by diphtheria, next by reflex paralysis, and finally by sans guinea purpurea, and her life was de spaired of. Her father, who is a phy sician, consented to have the experi ment of blood transfusion fried. Blood was taken from the veins of a young man of eighteen, and injected with a syringe into the child's system. Subsequently the little one took cold and began coughing with a mucus rat tle in her throat, so that the father was compelled to afford artificial respira tion. He then" took blood from the veins of his servant, A healthy girl of nineteen, and the effect of the confu sion was charming. The child fell into a peaceful sleep and a remarkable change came over her. When she awoke she asked for her play things, and from that hour her im provement was rapid. Her father has made this remark to a Globe reporter : "There she was, growing . gradually worse and worse, her nervous powers growing weaker and weaker. She was sinking, and was evidently beyond the reach of human aid, and at one time life itself had almost fled. The respi ration was not to be seen, her forehead icy. cold, her body purplish and the beating of her pulse could not be dis tinguished.. Yes, sir, without doubt, it was the transiasion of blood that re stored my daughter." The Way It Always Is. Hawkeye. One day this' summer we rode fifty miles in a railway car, seated behind four men who were playing witn those awful playthings . of the devil cards. They played euchre until they were tired of it. They played a little seveni up, Pedro, and occasionally a trifle of poker. We never heard a dispute. Their bursts of merriment occasionally at some unexpected play repeatedly drew our eyes from our book. , They never quarrelled, . and': never called names once. When we got out at our station, we sat at our window and WAtbhed a paTty of young -men and maidens play croquet, in fifteen mm utes; we 8a two person cheat success fully. ' We heard the one player who did not cheat accused pf cheating rive times. We heard four distinct, bitter quarrels.
