Napoleon was a very poor card- piayer and never indulged in any serious gambling. The same was the case with the Duke of Welling- fon, who though charged with be- ing addicted to playing hazard, maintained that never in the course 'of his life had he won or lost twen- ty pounds at any game. It was different, however, with the other christener of boots who came _ to help Wellington at Waterloo.| Bluetcher was ordinarily fond of, gambling and repeatedly lost large) sums of money at play. Much to his| disgust this passion was inhefi by his son, who had often to_ buked by his father for his visits to} the gaming table, and was given| many a wholesome lecture upon his} youth and inexperience. One---morning; --however, young} Bluecher presented himself before! his father aud exclaimed with an! air of joy: 'Sir, vou said I knew} nothing about play, but here is! proof that you have undervalued | my talents," pulling out at the same time a bag of rubies which he had won the preceding night. "And I said the truth," was the re- ply. "Sit down here and I will convince you.'" The dice were called for, and in a few minutes cid Bleucher won all his son's money ; whereupon, after pocketing the cash, he rose from the table, otserving; "Now you see that I was right when I told you that you would never win.'"'

This must be reconciled with a similar statement in verse 15, as both unquestionably refer to events in the same day.

A MARRIAGE IN TONGA, } { 'hing George Second Takes a New Queen, King George II. of Tonga was married (writes a London, Daily Mail correspondent from that hap- py iland of the South Pacific) te 'Princess Tua Soiui Takibo, a maid- len of sixteen years, and a remark- ably fine girl for her age. The King had been a_ widower since 1902 and the marriage was an ex- ceedingly 'popular one. Hundreds of natives, laden with presents, at- tended the ceremony. All < chiefs and nobles were loud in theia praise of the King's chojce. King Gcorge was attended by two pages, an-l Princess Takibo by' six brides- maids. ; In 1899, when the King was 28 j|years of age, he married Princess Lavinia. His Majesty succeeded his | great-grandfather, George Tubou, -in 1893. His predessor's reign for jthe last six years was somewhat "sturmy, the elderly and ease-loving _ 'monarch constantly getting into , disfavor with the British Governor of F'ji for handing over the Admin- | istration to any stray adventurer | who took his fancy. Tonga, as & | part of the Friendly Islands, is a protectorate, under the British 'rown. One "Prime Minister," whom the Governor of Fiji thought it neces- sary to deport, had become, when 'a warship arrived for him, billiard- marker at the local club-house. Then came the reign of a mission- ary, who made the old King's life 'a misery by preaching to him and cutting down his privy purse. - At last a conspiracy was got up, & the missionary Premier, when driv- jag out in the cool of the evening in a landeau with a daughter, was slightly wounded.
