. vFild Western Tale, Told In the
4 smofcing' Soom of a Sleeping Car.
from the. Chicago Tribune.
In the smoking section of a sleeping car
,l IP fit. Paul road after supper the other
,j 1P conversation turned on tricks at
■ nil' a'.id one of the purty asserted that
Bill” was the originator of that
industry. A lantern-jawed man
'v.ini Wvuiiiing, who had been an attentive
listener, remarked:
‘ Gentlemen. you are wrong. I saw a
•sicUor' play it to my sorrow before Canada
pill ,wr thought of it. ’
* In response to urgent requests the resi-
Uit.of flu* sage brush district in the West
went on with nis story: “The last year of
t l„. W ar I. U'ing a bov of 18, cut loose and
ilriitcd toward the then newly-discovered
U m ints of Montana. On the way I he
separated from the outfit 1 was travel
•vi! i: and drifted along from one frontier
, ‘nch or trading station to another until I
made a halt at the crossing of the
iw Laramie river, on the old stage road,
a , a ranch kept by A1 Smith.
Smith's ranch consisted of a log building
all in one room, in which ho ran
general store and saloon. As there
, r ,'s n o water for fifteen miles either way,
tp ranch was a camping ground for all
trains bound either east or west. The In
dians were bail in those days, and every
ranchman kept as large a force about him
as possible, and stragglers like myself were
received with open hospitality and urged to
prolong their stay. I remained at Smith’s
ranch for several months a welcome guest
Swapping horses, hunting antelope, drink
ing whisky, playing poker, and trading in
government mules—which in those days was
considered all over the West as legitimate
as soiling whisky or any other respectable
and honorable industry. I made plenty of
moncv, and had occasional Indian skir
mishes. and lots of excitement. There were
several of us young fellows there, and every
evening wo would indulge in poker by our
selves when we could not get a stranger in,
but when wo could, wetook him in, and we
got them almost every night, and, as money
was abundant, wo were all well fixed.
Ouo evening, late in the fall of 1865,
a cadaverous, lauk, homely specimen of hu
manity rode up to the ranch on a
poor, scrawny mare pony, followed
by a half starved colt. He wr.s dressed in
rugged remnants of a threadbare broadcloth
suit, a number of ients in his trousers shew
ing a tattered pair of gray ones underneath.
An old pair of congress gaiters adorned his
extra large feet, and an antiquated stiff hat
scarcely protected him from the sun. His
hair was long, his face unshaven. From his
shoulder hung by a piece of rope an old
flour-sack slutted full of old
clothes, while under his light
arm iie carried a bundle wrapped in an old
striped hickory shirt. He awkwardly
craw led off his Rosiuanto, and in a drawl
ing, stuttering voice inquired if he could
‘git to stay all night?’ He was informed
that he could spread his blanket on the
floor and could eat with us such as we had,
but that the nearest hotel was about 300
miles down the road. His stuttering speech
awl gawky manner caused us youngsters
unlimited amusement, and we guyed him
most unmercifully, all of which ne took in
good part.
"Before night a number of trains came
along and went into camp, and by dark the
log cabin was lively. Freighters and team
sters were buying goods and drinking
whisky, and playing cards for canned fruit
-the one great luxury of the Western pil
grims At an early hour, long before any
cue else had thought of sleep, ‘Rusty,’ as
we called him, spread his blankets on the
floor, and, with his old artillery saddle for
a pillow, turned in and tried to sleep.
Four of us youngstei-s drew around a table
aid proposed to start a poker game if we
could get someone to come in and make it
five-handed. ‘Rusty’ jumped up and said
as it was impossible to sleep he would play
a little while for fun. We kindly informed
him that we did not play for fun, but for a
quarter ante, just to make it interesting.
He demurred at first, but finally agreed to
play $5 worth. We did not want him to
play on account of his poverty, but when he
produced a fat leather pocketbook stuffed
with greenbacks our scruples diminished and
the game began. I never saw as awkward
a man with cards in my life, but lam free
to confess that I never saw a man
have so much luck as he did. The
flushes, threes, full hands and straights
that man held were remarkable. By 1
o'clock I had lost 8350 and was broke.
About 3 o’clock Frank Jones had lost over
fc'bO, and had to quit for lack of funds.
Frank Williams lasted until 4 o’clock, when
la* got knocked out, and the game progressed
single-handed between Joe Lowery, a super
intendent of the Overland Stage Company,
and our simple friend, who by this time was
over 83,000 winner. Joe was considerably
out, but had about *3OO left. ‘Old Rusty’
“I't up n running fire of silly remarks, but
none of us had any superfluous
hilarity left. As we had all by this
tune commenced to smell a large-sized
rodent we were watching Rusty with all of
our eight eyes. The ante had been raised to
fi, with |l 50 blind. It was Rusty's deal,
Md Joe Lowery went 83 50 blind. After
the deal Rusty saw the blind and Joe made
it good nnd raised him 850. Rusty saw the
raise and raised Joe back 8150, which Joe
t ii it all the money Joe had loft
to call. Joe had three queens and drew two
curds. Itustv drew three, but I saw him
take one of them from the bottom of the
Puck, and called Joe’s attention to it.
Joe grabbed the stakes, when Rusty
'nipped out a 45-revolver, and, cock
,!lK it, ordered Joe to “drop that
money.’ Frank Jones drew a revolver and
tj r " ‘ ,®t busty, missing him, when Rusty
• i r'v ' c ' turu > killing Jones instantly. Joe
, *- both reached for our revolvers, but a

},c back of the head, the ball penetrating
us brain, killing hjm. At the same instant

I fell dead.”

tim’ !HC C " ronlai ’ked that it was about oed
the hero turns up.

been subjected, and probably the fear
caused by niy danger, had entirely
cured me of the fever. I felt strong and
wed and rejoining my company marched
a -l the way to Tupelo without a recurrence
of the fever.”
“Hid you ever afterward see Gen. Bragg?”
I saw him at Tupelo. The Beauregard
Kitles, bearing the name of the great Gener
al and coming from his home, were detailed
to guard his headquarters. I was on guard
there one night, and at the usual time for
relief I was forgotten. I remained there
until morning, and becoming very tired I
tore up bricks from the pavement and made
a pile against a tree high enough for me to
sit upon and yet appear to be standing.
No sooner did I seat myself there than I fell
asleep. Gen. Beauregard saw me there and
woke me.
“ ‘My son,’ he said, ‘you should not sleep
on duty. If Gen. Bragg had seen you he
would have shot you. Are you very tired?’
“It was then raining. I told him I had
been on duty all night, having been for
gotten by the relief.
“ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘come up on the porch
out of the rain. You can stand guard there
just as well as here. ’
“I went on the porch and had been there
only a few minutes when Gen. Bragg came
by. ‘Whore is the guard V he shouted. I
stepped to the edge of the porch and pre
sented arms. ‘Why are you not at the
gate ?| he said, very brutally.
“ ‘Gen. Beauregard told me to stand here
out of the rain,’ I said. At this he broke
out into a volley of profanity directed
against Beauregard and the other Generals,
who, he said, were making paper soldiers
out of his men. He could do nothing else,
being second in command. He did not
recognize me, and, I being a private soldier
and not desirous of lioing recognized, said
nothing. Gen. Bragg was a martinet. He
was much given to shooting men. I saw
three deserters shot by his orders. Had it
not been for the counteracting influence of
Gen. Beauregard there would have been
more of that sort of thing. Hardee was as
strict a disciplinarian, but he had a kinder
heart than Bragg. Beauregard called his
soldiers ‘my sons’ and‘my boys.’ He was
as much Moved for his magnanimity as
Bragg was despised for his severity and
brutality. I never saw Bragg after the
Tupelo meeting.”
LOSING FAITH IN DREAMS.
A Woman’s Sad Story of Policy Play
ing.
From the New York Times.
. It was an old, old story that Wilhelmina
Helmbrecht told in melancholy accents yes
terday, but it had raised quite as great a
rumpus between her and Justus, her
husband, as if it had been an entirely new
ridorhaggard romance, damp from the sen
sational press.
Wilhelmina lives in Newark, at 30 Hayes
street. She is a tall woman, with square
shoulders and hair of that rich pumpkin an 1
fold tint that would make Iter u prize for
itian or a goddess in Persia. Wilhelmina
did not feel like a prize yesterday, however.
She looked much more like an unsuccessful
pool ticket as she narrated her unfortunate
experience.
She was all right, she said, until Mrs.
Nagel came to live at the house. Mrs.
Nagel was a believer ill sudden wealth. She
knew more things about criss cross dreams,
omens, and things than all the Egyptain
astrologers in Coney Island. The minute
she disco vert'd that Wilhelmina’s mother
was about to become a grandmother for the
second time —this was two years ago—she
took a warm personal interest in Mrs.
Helmbrecht. For a woman in Wilhelmi
na’s condition not to play policy, she said,
was simple lunacy. Preliminary mothers
were .suie winners, she said. They never
fa iied. She insisted that IVilhelmina should
tell her her dreams.
Mrs. Helmbrecht promised to, and soon
after dreamed that she. was cutting a loaf of
rye bread. She did not toll Mrs. Nagel im
mediately of this ominous and inexplicable
circumstance, being somewhat af raid of her.
When she did, however, Mrs Nagel showed
her how “50,” which she should have played
the very morning after she dreamed of cut
ting a loaf of rye bread, had won three suc
cessive times. That settled Mrs. Helni
brecht; she threw discretion to the winds,
plunged her hand in her pocket, drow forth
two pennies without a sign of emotion, and
told Mrs. Nagel to play them for her.
Her history subsequent to this small lie
ginning is not an unfamiliar one. In the
early stages she won. She made 50c., $2,
and 82 25. Gilt-edged visions thereupon lio
gan to be her constant companions. Goldon
cradles, camel’s ham shawls, diamond soli
taires, and trips to the old country elbowed
each other constantly in the corridors of
her brain. Meanwhile Justus was molding
iron in a foundry at *ls per week and had
no dreams at all.
It has been observed by some veteran
policy players that the only difference be
tween playing a gig of three numbers and a
gig of five is that you can lose money faster
on the latter plan. Wilhelmina played the
quintette. There was nothing too high for
her, for Justus gave her all the money he
eornod. She deliberately made up her
mind to become a capitalist at once, heed
less of consequences. The policy shops, of
which there were three in Newark, held two
drawings a day, and Wilhelmina was
always on hand with at least $1 for a draw
ing. When she was not there they knew
that something had happened. Nothing
serious happened, however, until July 4,
and then Justus unexpectedly occurred in
tho role of a detective.
He had noticed with dismay a falling off
in the family provender, to sav nothing of
the dresses of the children and Iris wife. En
tirely unsuspicious of the financial cancer
which hail developed in his wife’s pocket
book, he did his best until he needed his
watch for a holiday adornment, and asked
his wife for it. She said at first that it had
been stolen. Then she confessed she had
pawnod it, together with his rings and all
her own jewelry. Then the whole story
came out. - She had lost and played for
even. She had played his age, her own age,
the children’s ages; she had played every
way known to Mrs. Nagel. She hail taken
advantage of every onion in tho business,
but none the less tho policy dealers hail gob
bled everything she could raise.
uiea evwuuwn w wn- _ .
Justus is a kind husband and an indulgent
parent, so he did not gag her and tie her to
the car track. On the contrary, he took the
pnwn tickets, told the milkman, the butcher,
-the baker, who hod been waiting some
time for their bills, to wait a little longer,
and held a consultat ion with Capt. GHori. of
the Fourth nreoint. The result is that
Mary Pabst, Katherine Wenzel, Frederick
Liberhard, Charles Miller, and Katherine
and Richard Schweitzer ate awaiting trial
for violating the lottery law, and VVilhel
mina haa ceased to believe in dreams.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1887.
NERVES AND POLITICS.
Strange Case of an English Newspaper
ami an Excitable Patient.
James Payn in the Independent.
There was a time, our grandmothers used
to say, with no little scorn, “when there was
no such thing as nerves”—by which they
meant the want of them—even among
women: but now the nerves of men them
selves, the doctors tell us, are “hung upon
wires.” Half the complaints they have to
prescribe for arise from hurry and worry,
or from burning the candle at both ends.
A curious case occurred recently in the
experience of a friend of mine. A patient
of his, a city man, who has been under
treatment for “exhaustion of the nerves,”
came to him one Sunday morning in a
miserable state of tremor. “Well, doctor,”
he said, “it’s come at lust: the blow has
fallen, and I have gone mad.” “Really,”
said the doctor, raising his eyebrows and
smiling incredulously, “let us hope it Is not.
so bad as that.” “But it is. I felt I’ve been
going ever so long, vou know; and it hap
pened this morning. Vou take the Bantam,
don't you?” “Yes, here is last week's copy.
What of it?” “Well, you know it’s a strong
Unionist organ, sticks by Harrington, and
all that.”
The doctor nodded; his visitor’s excite
ment about a newspaper gave him some
alarm, because he knew that politics in gen
eral did not much interest him. “Well,
when I opened it this morning before break
fast everything appeared to me exactly the
reverse of what it really was.” “You held
it upside down, perhaps?” “No, no,” re
plied the patient with great irritation; “I
mean the sentiments. When it said the G.
O. M. was the ‘betrayer’ of his country, I
read it ‘savior;’ when it said Parnell
was a ‘traitor,’ I read it ‘patriot,’
and when it called Chamberlain a
‘bulwark,’ I found it a blockhead. ’ ”
“You have not said anything about this
to anyone?” “Not a word; I came to you
at once without my breakfast, not even
reailing the family prayers as usual. I
should probably have put ‘note’ in them
where there was no not, and vice versa,
which would have been too horrible.”
“My advice to you is,” said the doctor,
“to go home anil go to bed; sleep if you can
for another hour or* two; if not, take up
some novel.” “So I wil’, and the worse the
better, since all tho sentiments are sure to
be inverted. I ijill try Zola; and you will
call upon me in the afternoon, of course?”
“I have a consultation at 3, but wall bo with
you as soon afterwards as possible.”
After the consultation, us he told me, but
I believe it was at it (for they talk about
many things at consultations besides the
jiatient), the doctor related this most extra
ordinary case of hallucination to his brother
medico: “Have you read the Bantam your
self?” inquired the other dryly. “Not to
day.” “Well, you had better look at it
before trying any very heroic measure —the
actual cautery, for instance—with your
nervous friend, for you will find that the
Bantam has changed its line this morning,
and become Parnellite.” And this was
what had really happened.
