THOUGHT IT EASY MONEY

Fred Rush Gives a Tip to Harry Polack and It Proves to Be a Good One. “In the last race I have a good thing," skid Fred Rush enticingly to Harry Polack, the Pittsburg vaudeville agent. “Play Charlie Rothschild in the sixth race at Juarez. I have the tip straight from the firm of Rothschild, the bankers, aiyl they own the horse.” "I will risk >10,” said Polack, carried away by the apparent confidence of his friend; “where can 1 play It?" "Leave that to me,” replied Rush, and he clutched the money. When Polack had gone. Frank Bohn remonstrated with Rush. “That horse Is a plug.” he said. “He hasn’t a show in the world to win. Why did you give him to Polack?*’ “Hush,” explained the wily one. “you’re In on It. I won’t put the money down at all. The horse will lose, and then we can dine. Brains, brains —I got them." Several hours later the couple sat down in a Broadway restaurant Rush insisted on ordering and he went as far as the $lO would go. Polack beamed on him. “I thought," said he, “that you were kidding me on that horse, but K was a good tip after all.” “What!" exclaimed Rush, choking on his soup spoon. ‘Thirty to one was the price,” said Polack. s “Brains, brains.” murmured Frank Bohn.—St. .Paul Dispatch.
