QUEER BELIEFS HELD BY THOSE
WHO BET ON HORSE RACES.
Mascots and Jonabs Almost as Numerous
as the Bettina—Cross Eyed Persons and
Bunchbacko—An 0101 Race Goor Says the
Signs Never Fall.
“How is it that gamblers, and especially
gamblers on the turf, are so superstitious?’
This question was asked of an old race goer
recently, but he denied altogether that they
were superstitious. He said: “Backing horses
in a. race is all a. game of chance. You may
have the very best horse in the race and may
back him heavily, but through some mishap,
such as the horse being pocketed, or slipping
his bridle, he may be beaten. Now these mis-
haps make the chance in the game, and there
are certain signs that all race goers believe
in that tell when to back a. certain horse and
‘ when to let him alone. Why, I would no
nore think of backing a horse that these
Sims and omens said would not win than I
“’0le attempt to fly."
”how is it. then, that you don’t always
win? Are the signs sometimes wrong 3"
“Nevm The signs are always right, but
we don’t always read them correctly, and
even when. we do we sometimes think we
know best. Then we have to suffer for our
conceit.”
SAW m). WINNER III A DREAM.
“Just tell me 0'. some of the signs that you
go by.” -
“First Of 811. I never make a bet unless I
have my mascot with me. It is a $5 gold
piece. If I should happen to leave it at home
I just watch the race. Sometimes I have
tried to win when I have not that gold piece
with me, but I always lost, and so now I
have given it up. I found that gold piece
several years ago when coming through the
gates at Jerome park. I only had a five
dollar bill with me that day, and in the first
race I placed it on a. horse that won and paid
$56.75 for $5. Iooncluded that the 85 gold
piece was meant to bring me good lrck, and
I determined to keep it. That day I won
'876(), and ever since I have never been with-
out money:
“Mondayis a bad dayto lesson. If one

Low to the listening stars;
Red as Arcturus her blushes flame, .
Pale Virgo smiles on her maidenly shame— '
Guard well the secret, 0 stars!
Soft. to the flowers she murmurs a. word.—
Soft to the moon tranced flowers. l
The nodding lilies are lightly stirred. .
But the rose dreams on of her poet bird— ‘
Oh. guard well the secret. dear flowers!
Faint to the night wind she breathes a sigh—
Foint to the wandering wind
That mutely kisses her for reply.
Stealing the unshed tear from her eye—
Ah. breathe not the secret. sweet wind!
A whispered name—a word—and a sigh-
Floating away thro' space,
With a. wind gathered tear from a. pure maid‘s

Somewhat Too Witty.
It’s a. great thing to be read}? wilted. I
saw an instance of it the other day. Over at
the Union depot, in Canal Street. they have
an “information bureau,” and :0 beat sign
over the open window announces 1510- fact.
It’s a. very clever idea, since a grmr man y
people frequently want to know 0:00;:an hing;
about the town or about trains, “out it, is the
only one in town and it strikes sophisticated
folks as very queer,
I saw a. very flip young fellow look at the
sign the other day and smile. Then he went
up to the Window and I knew he was going
to try to be funny at the bureau man’s ex-
pense. I edged up carelessly and heard him
ask:
“IVhat kind you got?”
“Kind 0’ what?” asked the information
man.
“Kind of information,” said the flip young
man.
The bureau man “tumbled” in a second.
He saw he had run against a joker, but he
didn't show it in his manner. He just said,
in a businem like tone and a perfectly straight
face:

"Does it come with or without?”
“Both ways. Which’ll you have it?”
“Got any out bias?”
“Plenty, and stripes dowu the side.”
“13 it red, white and blue?”
“It is, and shot with stars; also fringed.
How mucb’ll you have?”
The-humorist seemed to be disappointed in
some way, for he mumbled something and
sneaked away, looking as crushed as a. be -
nonapeel under a 200 pound man’s boot. I
asked the mu at the window if he badmany
customers of this kind. He laughed and said
that the traveling men usually had fun with
him when they had time—Chicago Mail.
Intelligent Horses.
1013 agreot mistake to imagine that all
the Inst trained and most intelligent horses
are tobeseen in dream I have handled
houses all my life, and never saw anything
very wonderful innn animal being taught
tricks in string which is always the same
sine. Ibere are hundred of horses in St.
Louis which know more and understand
signs beater than any circus horse I ever
saw; and wbatis more, they will obey any-
where and under any conditions, which a so
called educated horse probably would not.
The fire brigade horses, of course, nreillustra—

horse keeps going. But if he seestbe card he
sums of his own accord and backs up, no
matter how- heavy the traffic is. And at

cane out at once he concludes there is some-

of reason and thought. I would like to know
what is.—-St. Iouis Globe-Demoant.
In the Sun.
A knowiedge of feline traits once embhd
Charla Jm Fox to win a wager from the
then Prince of Wales, while the two were
countering along a fashionable Shoat in Lon-
don.
It was a hot summer day, and Fox oflered
to bet that he would see more cote than his
royal highnes during their pmnienade, al-
though the prince might chooa on which
side of the street he would walk.
It turned out that Fox had seen thirteen
cats and the prince none.
“Your royal highnesa,” said Pox,,answer-
ing the prince’s request her an explanation,

as being most agreeable. I lmewthatthe
sunny side would be left for me, and that
