Show Cured of Games of Chance. When Judgo William Caleb Lorlng of tho Massachusetts Supremo bench was In college with present Representative Represen-tative Edward B. Callender of Dorchester, Dor-chester, in tholr Bophomoro year, It la related that on ono occasion ho was induced in-duced to sit In a little game of "vingt-et-un." Young Lorlng has nover played tbe game before, though ho was a good card player. Tho anto was not high, but It is Bald that on this occasion the present Justice was very lucky, and at tho end of tho game quite a pile of bills was pushed over to him. Mr. Lorlng stopped, gazed thoughtfully thought-fully at the pile a moment, and then pushing the money back again, ho said, "No, gentlemen; I can't tuke It." "It was apparent," remarked Mr. Callender, who told tho story, "that tho thought flashed over Judgo Lor-lng's Lor-lng's mind that If ho had lost ho would havo had to pay, and he couldn't conscientiously con-scientiously take monoy so obtained. "Ho went out of that room, and he was never known to take part In a gamo of chanco again." |
