m Philosophy of He Had to Die to Wii And Which Was the Do They Do in Stock Rate He Had Learned 1 / OofriM- Tyrannic; ShP0dV*S (lUauj VI A autvi. - ? eld friends called at 161 West ThirtyI fourth street to take a last look at the I dead man and say a word of comfcK I to fcis widow. * There were gray haired students ' of chance who like Pat had turned a mjj^F card in every civilized and some uncivilized countries of the globe. / There were sad looking wrecks from the underworld who at one.time or another had felt Pat Sheedy's generosity. " There were substantial business men who had learned to value his word and to enjoy his sunny philosophy; there were curious fblks who. having missed the opportunity - of knowing Sheedy living, were bound 1 to see him dead, and there wire Sisters of Mercy. All had a kind word for the gambler. "His good deeds far outnumbered his bad," was the comment of one of the sisters. "No better man ever lived. Pat was honest to the core," was the reply that came from the widow as the visitors tried to say something conf soling. "The world called him :t gambler, but Pat "find I didn't care what the world said," she added. Sheedy wasn't afraid to die. One of the last things he said was: "I'll take my chance with the others. I guess St. Peter won't be hard on me." ?heedy had been expecting death almost daily ^or. six months, but friends who visited him say that he kept to the end the same cheerful toutlook that he always had on tap i in days of health, whether facing the / wheel flat broke under the shadow of the pyramids in Egypt or laying his ' last dollar in less romantic hdunts in this city. "I'm not afraid. I know I'm going to get a square deal. I'll have a better chance there than I had here, and I don't think I've done so worse. The Maker plays no favorites," was the way Pat commented on his approaching end. The gambler didn't knpw whether the fact that he had confessed and had received absolution would help him much on his way or not. { "If it does, so much the better; if it does not, tnen mere wui ue uu harm done," -was his way of looking at it. . Sheedy used to argue that he was a very much better man than some respectable New Yorkers who weren't classed as outlaws, lie had been through the college of experience and I had learned never to turn a deaf ear to a man whose luck was down. That, as Sheedy saw the world, was what most people had not learned, and in having mastered this lesson he figured he was just so much better j'fu than they were. "Circumstances make a man what he is," Pat has said. "We are not ! all pacers or trotters. We have our own gait, and we. go that gait, and that gait is fate. Why, even fat is fate. I've never eaten more than a. bird, and why am I dying of fat? t It's my fate." ' Sheedy orten torn ins iriecas uy*i. in all his ups and downs of life he i derived his greatest happiness from * making others happy. That was what prompted Sheedy wheu he was flush to give a helping hand to'such notorious criminals as Adam Worth and Ed Guerin. Sheedy had no patience with the conventionalities, that made one form of gambling a criminal offense and tolerated another as respectable. "What is the great -speculator in wheat but a gambler like myself?" he used to say. "He has owned millions and millions of bushels, but he never possessed one ip *his life. Only the law protects him and ostracizes me. I've got my life insured for the benefit of my wife; the company I'm insured in bets I won't die this year. That's the toughest game I ever struck, too, for I have to die to beat it, but for my wife's sake I've gone against it. If 1 were to call nrpsident of the comnanv a earn bier they would tar and feather me; yet I can't get it through my head that he isn't just as much of a gambler as I am when I step up in front of the wheel." Sheedy before he became an "art connoisseur" made no bones about describing his business. "I call myself a business man because gambling is my business," he said. "I regard myself as a good business man because I am a good gambler. F.ew business men have devoted themselves more untiringly to their work than* I have to mine. But the best of us fails at times, and the faro banks have broken" me as A many times or more times than I have / broken them. Everybody who knows me knows that when I sit down at the game and the fever comes over me 1 won't quit until I've got all the bank's money or it has got mine. I luivf.' guuK IUIU a. gauiunuj; nuuts a fairly rich man and come out penniless. I have gone in poor and come out with a mighty big wad. I've gone for weeks without money enough to buy me a square meal. I've ha$ men point at me and say, 'There's Pat Sheedy. the lucky dog,' when I didn't have the price of a shave in my pocket: I always have managed to / keep up appearances because, when f v the money was coming in. I bought clothes against a dark Say." Sheedy neve'r lost an opportunity to declare that gamblers as a class were more honest than other men. Some of Sheedy's friends recalled the prediction he had made shortly after District Attorney Jerome had raided Canfield's "art palace" in West Fortyfourth street. Jerome made the raid . on evidence snnnoKSd to have been a obtained by "Sleuth" Jacob?. Jacobs m charged that the Canfield game was fx crooked. Jerome threatened to call Sheedy to his ofiice to explain what he knew about gambling in the city, and Sheedy replied: "I suppose the Dirtr'ct Attorney's remarks concerning me wore brought forth by sometiiins I said about his gambler who has turned informer. J have nc means ol knowing who the i / ' ' Pat Slieedy. i the Life insurance Co.'s Bel? Gambler? Said He, and What s. Cotton and Wheat ??At Any to Heto the Under Dog man is. but I never duck anything I have said. Therefore I repeat that I do not believe this informer ever set foot inside of Canfield's, and I say again that Richard Canfield is the greatest gambler in the world, bar none, and that his game is as straight as a Quaker meeting is solemn." It wasu't many week3 after Sheedy had said this that Mr. Jerome discovered that Jacobs was faking and that "he never had been inside thS Canfield house. ^ Pat Sheedy was discreet. He declined a challenge to get into an argument with Mr. Jerome on the subject of gambling. "It's a great thing, my boy, to know when you're well off," he said. "The chap who's always in hot water may think he's happy, but he wouldn't know happiness by sight. So long as I can make a living and give a ton of coal now and then of a hard wiuter to my mother-in-law and con ray wife into believing that she might have gone further and fared worse I'm satisfied to rest easy and not go around hunting for a controversy. Any fcol can get into an argument, but it's a wise man that steers clear of it." Sheedy's friends said that he probably did not leave more than a few thousand dollars, enough to keep his widow for the rest cf her days. He did not make this money by gambling, but from his little art store in West Thirty-fourth street. In fact, Sheedy, it was said, quit the game a few years ago as poor as when he entered it, although in the course of his career he had won several small fortunes. Wo Mid that the nublic always had j . ! a mistaken notion about the money that gamblers make. '"Put this down," he said, "that the gambler has a harder time of it than any other business man. Once in a while he gets what slow going, plodding folks might call a great deal of money, but it never lasts long. More often he is obliged to borrow his living expenses from his friends, and Pat Sheedy is no exception." Sheedy had a high regard for the English as gamblers. "Englishmen will pay their gambling debts before they will their .tailors," he told his friends. "The Germans, particularly German army ofhc'ers, are about as good. I wish I c<>uld say as much for my own countrymen as I can for the English, but when Americans gamble abroad they sometimes forget that there is none of their money left in the bank at home and they are addicted to the habit or arguing that money lost in gambling can't be collected." Sheedy had no use for the French as gamblers. "Don't speak of them," he used to say. "Anything you can get out of a Frenchman you ought to take home and have framed. And the Italians are worse than the French." Many stories were told by Sheedy's ' old cronies of the hard times he had in finding a place to lay his money after he got his reputation as a "bank breaker." "At Hot Springs,'Ark.," said one, "they barred Pat because he had lost. He bought $500 worth of chips and dropped the entire lot. The next day he returned^ to the clubhouse, asked for $5 00 more and the proprietor said: 'Mr. Sheedy, I'm an old man and I have to sleep nights; I'd rather you wouldn't play in my house.' He tried it in two other gambling houses at the Springs, and in each place after he had lost his first pile they barred him. Then he left Arkansas in disgust." a - fw!an/1i5 '-rvl AIlULiiei Ul i. at a xi acuuo wim vi. an experience be had had in Charleston, S. C. He had bought a good stack of faro chips and was about 5300 to the good, when the proprietor of the place hoard somebpdy call him Sheety'. "Ain't your name Pat Sheedy?" the dealer asked. \ "It is and I'm proud of it," said the winner. "Well, I'm sorry; but we can't let you play any more," sc.'d the dealer. "We haveh't any bank rolls handy to meet your high rolling." Some -of Sheedy's friends used to circulate reports when Pat hit a strange city that he wanted to wreck a gambling house jtist for the sport SUICIDE OF R 1 Why Scorpion or Ven Sting Itse The venoms of serpents, fishes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, bees, etc., as well as the blood of the eel, owe their virulence to the presence of toxins similar to those which are secreted by bacteria. In both cases the toxins are specific products of the activity of living cells. They are very poisonous, non-crystallizable colloids, of unknown chemical constitution The venom toxins are very sensitive to the action of heat and light, are easily destroyed by digestive ferments and consequently are innocuous whei} swallowed. There is a great variety of these toxins. Snake poison alone contains half a dozen distinct toxins each of which exerts a specific a^tior on the nervous system, the red or the white blood corpuscles, etc. it is nossible to nroduce in tiny ani mal an artificial condition of immunity to the effects of any animal venom. This is accomplished by the repeated injection of the venom ir doses, each of which is too small tc cause death. After a larger or smaller number of injections the animal acquires the power to resist the action of many times the quantity of venoir that would suffice to cause death if it were injected into the veins of a nonimmunized animal. The blood of the : immunized animals now contains a new substance, an antitoxin which ' has the property of neutralizing the to:;in of the venom, and this blood I (or rather its watery part, or serum) may be employee1, to combat the toxic ? -J I ? of it. aud they would sit back and r watch every gambling house proprietor worry for fear that Pat would } select his "joint." One man said that there wasn't a good sporting man in the country who would have refused to stake Pat Sheedy at any game and without se- j curity at that. He recalled an inci- | dent that happened in Boston. | i Pat had spent some time in Sara- I toga and luck was against him. He t came down to Boston, and the first p night he was in town he went against p a faro game that broke him. Pat f walked into a certain bank whoso t president had the reputation of being 5 a good fellow. He was ushered into ^ the president's office and said: j "I came to borrow $1000 from your a bank." "What is your security?" was tho p first question. ? p "Simply my word," replied Pat. c "That won't do in the banking v business. Who are you?" asked the / president. a "Pat Sheedy, the gambler," wr?s a the reply. f "After a short talk," said one of a Pat's friends, "the banker handed over $1000 from his person/il ac- r count. Two days later Pat entered the bank and repaid it.'.' T It was a loan of $2000 that Adam j Worth made to Pat in John Condon's j. gambling house in Chicago that led g to the recovery of the famous Gains- c borough painting. Fat was broke, g when a stranger who had been winning heavily pushed a roll of bills into his hand. Sheedy demurred, but g | the stranger insisted. Sheedy asked r {for the stranger's name, but he g laughed and said: "You'll see me again." g It was sixteen years after this that the two met in Constantinople, Sheedy as the proprietor of a gambling house in that city and the lender of the money, Adam Worth, as an escaped prisoner.

'AJLAC1 OF BBILICAL (ING IS UNEARTHED Seat of Apries, Contemporary of Jeremiah, Disclosed fay Exca. vations at Memphis. Professor Flinders Petrie, in givng an account of the work of the British School of Archaeology, said he great result of this year at Memihis has been the discovery of the lalace of King Apries, the Pharoah lophra of the Bible, who was a conemporary of -Teremiah, B. C. 629?8S. Hitherto no palace has been mown in Egypt beyond the tower at /ledinet Habu and some remains of , rather earlier date. Following are the details of the >alace: Length, 400 feet, very imiressive; breadth, 200 feet; middle ourt, 100 feet square; painted colimns forty feet high: seven stoneined walls fifteen feet thick. The .pproach to the palace led up through l large mass of buildings to a platorm at a height of about sixty feet ,bove the plain. In the ruins a scale armor, hitherto arely found in Egypt, was discovred. Good bronze figures of gods vere also found. "What Professor 'etrie described as the one supreme tiece was a fitting of a palanquin of olid silver, a pound in weight, decirated with a bust of Hathor with a ;old face of the finest workmanship if the time of Apries the Great. A gateway and immense walls decending deep into the mound indiated that there lay ruins of succesive palaces bifilt one over the other. Professor Petrie predicted that in Ix or eight years the excavators night dig down to the earliest records if the Egyptian Kingdom. * THE GREAT LAWYER. theory That He is Born and Not Made is Asserted. This is an age of investigation and >f speculation. All sorts of inquiries ire propounded, such as '.'What Is a )emocrat?" And now we have the [uestion: "What is a lawyer?" One espectable and emjnent authority aniwers that he must have a collegiate raining and get his law learning in i law school, else he can never expect 0 be other than a "case lawyer," and lot much of that. One opinion is that lawyers are lorn, not made. Unless one have tha 'legal mind," all the college^ and all he study in the world will not make 1 lawyer of him, and if he be gifted pith the legal mind he will get to be l great lawyer, although he never law a college and never read half he textbooks. Abraham Lincoln was >ne of them. Robert Eurns never went to colege, but he ranks among the greatest >oets of all the world.
