How much of the drunkenness and vice of large American cities is due to treating? In this respect we are a nation of fools. In no country in the world m this custom carried to sueh an extent.

In Michigan and Minnesota, and per

Speaking freely of her experience and her advemtures, she said: "For a long time I worked out in Eastern cities, but the work was hard aid not at all profitable, so I concluded to try the West, where I was told good wages were paid. I came out here and did washing, and always modo $100 per month, and sometimes more. Once, when I was pretty tired, I concluded to visit a lady friend near Lookout Mountain. There I noticed the two great peaks, bout 2.C0.) feet high. I told my friend I intended to go prospecting on the high peak. She said it was madness ; that the" ascent was too steep about forty-livo degrees that no man had ever attempted it, and that it would provo to bo my destruction. But I was determined. I put on stout, shorn potticoats, men's boots, slung on pick and shovel, and, aa the biblical phrase is, girded up loins and started up alone, But I prayed.

Giio Its Career In New York. "Hate you any idea by vhom or when the game of faro was invented?" asked a reporter, talking with Charles Dunn, the well-known gambler. The question was asked in the course of a conversation about gaming in general, and particularly about the prevalence of it in the city. Dunn had previously said that there was more gambling going on at present within the precincts of this devoted oity than at any other

time in its history. "Well, that is a question," repUed Dunn, crossing his legs with a grunt of

supreme comfort and lighting another cigar, "Paro. my boy, dates bock to the inventors of almost all the games that require thought. It was invented, I

have heard, by the maroons aitenuey got tired of playing chess and backgammon and all the other innocent little games wnttftfBrodght tnem so much enjoyment. But the new invention was the ruination of the Pharaohs, for

they gambled so much that finally the shepherd kings went for them and pul-

vnnsed them, as we say nowadays; so

faro was temporarily forgotten.. The Ptnlamvii revived it. and then it crossed

over into Italy, where mosaics in the

ruins of Pompeii have been found representing two players deeply absorbed in the primitive game. No, I'm not joking. I never joke about any suoh serious matter as faro. But, honestly, no one knows when the game was really invented. It was one of those things which partook ot the nature of Topsy and simply grow'd. " "The earliest record we have of the game is in the thirteenth century, when it had assumed considerable popularity in Italy and France, I am inclined to believe that the game is of Italian origin. From the Italian we get tho word parloe,' which iB used in the game now, and means to let the stake lie and double. The Italian original is paroli. To moke paroli, as it was originally colled, a player was required to bead

one orner of the preferred card over. It was always his right to withdraw a

bet after the time wnen m wiwon ma first stake, but previo'.lv l that he had to let his money ra.-in. t that time there were no 'ley onto.' Every player has his own pack and made hw bets on the cards that he T imsuif turned. When he won he simply showed his card to the denier awl he was paid. A century ago no box n its used. Tho dealer dealt out his hf rids, an-l so ran a gTeat chnsee of showing most c Use cards.
