ATHLETE POUNDS A SHIPGAMBLER Former American Army Officer Sees Slick Briton Palming Dice. A ROUGH HOUSE FOLLOWS

LIEUT. FORTESQUE HA8 NEVER BEEN RELUCTANT ABOUT USING HIS FISTS AND HAS HAD A UNIQUE CAREER. Now York. Nov. 8. Granville Roland Fortesque, formerly a first lieutenant of the Fourth Cavalry, U. S. A., and known by the friends who call hlra "Roily" as a young man who doesn't overlook a chance to use his fists, furnished a few vivid minutes of excitement In the smoking room of the Kronprlnzessin Cecille. when he caught a dextrous dice manipulator. Young Mr. Fortescue is thick set and deceptingly short. A person tak ing his measure and not knowing that when he went to Yale he used to tackle swinging logs and cart horse3 to fit himself up for the football field, would not put him down as anything startling in the middleweight class. The tall, blonde-mustached man, with the English accent, and the nimble little finger who figured In the smoking room -fracas on the German boat, made the mistaken estimate of Fortesque's strength herein indicated. This suave gentleman In tweeds had drifted to a cushioned corner in the lounging room early in the trip across and had struck some casual acquaintances. Just to while away idle hours he had suggested a little dice game, a peculiar little dice game which he called "sixes and doubles." Only one die was used In this little game of the British stranger; everybody throws a stated number of times and the total count the score. Phitadelphian a Loser. One who played was a Philadelphian. , Two others were New Yorkers. Their names do no't figure, except incidentally. The Philadelphian and the New Yorkers began first to shake for drinks; later, when the gentleman with the blonde moustache suggested that sovereigns would be better stakes, being more stable and more sporting, as it were, the three fell on with his suggestion. When the play was in full swing last Saturday night the Philadelphian had lost all of his cash, and. besides signing an I O U for $100, he had borrowed two 5-pound notes from the Englishman's pile. The New Yorkers were also losers. Fortesque strolled in to watch a chess game that was being played at the table next that of the dice shakers, by Henry Clews, Jr., and James De Wolf Cutting, both New York friends of his. One of the two whispered something in Fortescue's ear. and, after that, he took a place back of the Englishman's chair and watch ed his right hand carefully when he dipped the dice box. The ex-army officer noticed first that whenever it came the Englishman's turn he threw a five or a six more often than any of the others. Then, as he watched, he saw that the gambler had a neat little finger on the right hand, which curled about a second die. Each time he threw the single die in the box he palmed that one and let the cube under his pinky finger roll out instead. It was simple to palm this die and put the genuine one back in the box at the end of each MADE WELIAND By Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Bardstown, Ky. I suffered from ulceration and other female troubles for a long time Doc tors had failed to help me. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended, and I decided to try it. It cured my trouble and made me well and strong, so that I can do all myown work." Mrs. Joseph BTaix, Bardstown. Kv. Another Woman Cured Christiana, Tti-ii. " I suffered from the worst form of female trouble so that at times I thought I could not lire, and my nerves were in a dreadful condition. Lydia E. Pinkham's Voiretable Compound cured me, and ltwls me feel like a different woman. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth its weight in gold to suffering women. Mrs. MaryWood.R.F.1). a.

For thirty years this famous remedy has been the standard for all forms of female ills, and has cured thousands of women who have been troubled with such ailments as displacements, fibroid tumors, ulceration, inflammation, irregularities, backache, and nervous prostration.

(Special Cable from the Hearst News 8erviee.) By La Voyageuse. Paris, Nov. 8. Looking well ahead, anticipating the future, the people of France in general and the residents of Paris in particular are already eagerly expectant of the arrival here from Africa early in the coming spring, of "le Colonel Roosevelt," the strenuous one, whose very strenuosity and love of the dramatic has ever endeared the former American president to the French heart. Theatricals always appeal to the French imagination, hence the coming of the mighty American hunter, accompanied as it no doubt will be by the brass-band and limelight effects which the popular ex-colonel of Rough Riders knows so well how to present In a way to obtain the best results, strikes a responsive chord in the French nature. It is universally believed in the American colony here that it has pri vately been arranged that the first in timation that Colonel Roosevelt Intends seeking a renomination to the presidency will be made public here, in a guarded way, until the manner in which the news is received in the Unit ed States is ascertained, when, If the announcement is regarded favorably. the theatrical effects will be made use of with a vengeance, and the colonel will land on the shores of his native land with a characteristic hurrah and the campaign will be on. On reaching France it is reported on excellent authority that he will be the throw. The hidden cube always turned a five or six. Fortesque Grabs the Cheat. Fortesque watched until he was sure, then he made a grab for the gambler's wrist. "You damn cheat!" yelled Fortesque, and then the fistwork began. Fortesaue tried to break open the Eng lishman's fist, so as to disclose the crooked cube of ivory. The Englishman fought back hard. It was nip and tuck all over that corner of the smoking room until the gambler managed to wrench himself away from Fortesque's hold and fled to the deck. Captain Hegeman, of the Cecille, then took a hand. When some of the witnesses to the encounter reported to him what had happened, he forbade the smooth Englishman to enter the smoking room for the rest of the voyage. The strange sequel is that the Eng llshman subsequently dunned the Philadelphian for the $110 he had become Indebted for. and the Philadelphian paid $25 of it. "just to get rid of the fellow." as he said later. This was not the first time that Fortesaue's brawn has brought him Into print. In August, 1903, he dived at a horse that was running away down Fifth avenue with the Rev. Dr. George C. Houghton, and he saved the parson from a spill. A year later, in San Francisco, Fortesque got into a nasty fight on the eve of sailing for Japan, and there was a great hubbub over the incident, because of the mistaken idea that he was a cousin of President Roosevelt. He is a stepson of Robert R. Roose velt, an uncle of ex-President Roosevelt Fortesque resigned from the army in 1905. WAS SURGICAL FEAT Man Operated on, on Ocean Liner During Very Rough Weather. TO SAVE STEWARD'S LIFE (American News Service) New York, Nov. 8 An operation for appendicitis, performed aboard an ocean liner, while she was battling seas so high that it took four stewards to hold the patient on the table, while the surgeons were at work, was reported by the liner Campania, which arrived here from Liverpool today. The patient was Charles Baxter, a steward on the Campania, and the operating was done by Surgeon Robert Bruce, assisted by Sir Alfred Keogh, surgeon general of the British army, and Dr Owen Williams, a prominent practitioner of Liverpool. Baxter was stricken on the last outward trip and the surgeons decided that immediate recourse to the knife was the onl7 chance to save his life. The ship was rolling so high that she was driven ahead at full speed during the operation, to steady her. CASE IS APPEALED.

guest or former President Loubet at the latter's beautiful estate, the Cha teau La-Begude-de-Mazenc, at Montelimar, in the department of the Drome, which is situated near Marseilles, and therefore will be especially convenient for Colonel Roosevelt when he lands at that port from Africa. As M. Loubet is one of the best known and most enthusiastic sportsmen in France, the former French and the recent American heads of their respective governments will have much in common, for the hunting at La Be-gude-de-Mazenc is among the best in the republic, although no lions, hippopotami or tigers will be available. To many Americans who live in Paris, or those here for a visit only, but who, nevertheless, know their Paris, it is amusing to note the "about face" which Parisians, and Parislennes, too, have made in the direction of Americans and things American in all branches. It is not so long ago that Americans and their fashions were not unfrequently criticized for what were re

Q garded as senseless and impractical ideas and foibles. Today they not only meet with the approval, but the praise of native born Frenchwomen and Frenchmen. The other day, while I was looking at some leather bags in a shop on one df the boulevards, a shop girl, in showing off their beauty, and practicability, said: "You see, with this long handle you can pass your wrist entirely through it and carry it under your arm a 1'Americaine, which is all the style this year." Shades of Broadway! What do you think of that, women of "the States," who knew of this "wrinkle" and practiced It more than a year and a half ago? And still Paris is hailed by many as the very starting point of all fashions that are at all worth while! Again, "cowboy" hats of felt, for young and old, have been the rage for women all summer. The long, flow ing veils worn by American women here and so long despised and in some cases even hooted at in the streets of Paris, are now worn universally all over France, and are considered, like all things "Americaine," at present, "so practical." Even some French newspapers, heretofore conservative, if nothing else, are adopting the "features" of the Ameri can press. A "woman's department," has been introduced and a column devoted to questions and answers from and to women. How to win a beau and how to hold him once he is captured, are explained, together with the best way to make stews or how to re ply to "mash" notes if replies ar thought necessary. had her hand severely scalded last week.

"COMPLICATION OF DISEASES." How often one hears this expression. It means a condition in which no one disease fully develops, but symptoms of various disorders are present. Poisoned, impure blood would explain the cause in nine out of ten such cases. It matters not if the blood be poisoned by inoculation, or by the failure of one or more of the important glands of the body to perform their duties, a power ful alterative or blood purifier, is necessary to cleanse it, and in so doing removes the cause. Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is the most thorough and powerful alterative or blood purifier ever known, a fact which is firmly established, and supported by testimony of hundreds of grateful people.
