The phrase "bucket shop" origi nated in Chicago. The board of trade had forbidden dealings in grain op tions in less amounts than 6,000 bush els. An open board was established for small gamblers under the rooms of the regular board. When business was slack in the regular board the elevator would be sent down for an other "bucketful" of speculators from tho unauthorized exchange, which thus came to be known as the "buck etshop."

I occasionally went into his room and found the bell stuffed with paper, or wound around with towels.

Not One of Those "Distinguished." A Kansas man who was on his first visit to Washington recently went to the capitol, accompanied by a friend, to see conp ress in session. From the visitors' gallery the Kansan looked over the assembled statesmen seek ing in vain for the member from his district. "'Maybe he's down there, but I can't distinguish him." said the Kansan. "Of course not." replied his Washington friend. "le can't even distinguish himself." Couldn't Place Them.

Jessie said, in a stage whisper: "Tell me, mother, is they kings or jacks?" Servants Proved Faithful. In the Days of Terror during the French revolution, when one man was denounced by another as an act of re venge, it was rare indeed for the au thorities to receive any information from servants, though it would have been the easiest thing in the world for a servant smarting from a sense of injustice to have sent his master to the guillotine.
