Hampton, ' June 18.?News reached here early this morning by telephone communication that John Henry Pope, Jr., killed Mont D. Ihley Saturday afternoon at John Garvin's store, about 12 miles from Hampton. The facts as gathN ered are as follows: Ihley had been to Lena station, on the Southern railway, where he received a jug of whiskey by express, and was on his way to hiB home, when he met Pope' at Garvin's store, a few miles from Lena. Pope demanded that Ihley sell him the jug of whiskey. Ihley replied that he would give him a drink bat would not . sell the jug, whereupon the two men engaged in a'heated quarrel and cursed each other severely. Pope went to his wagon and armed himself with his shot gun, firing upon Ihley. The load entered under the right arm, penetrating the lungs and liver, almost severing them from the body. Ihley returned the fire with a reb volver, hitting Pope three times, injuring him seriously, but not fatally. Ihley died shortly afterwards. Both men are supposed to have been drinking, Pope especially, when the difficulty occurred. Ihley leaves a wife and four small children. Pope has a family also.! She Got Him.

As before, the mother replied: "No, your papa must not be disturbed." But the little one c me back with a clincher: "Mamma," she declared solemnly, "I am a sick woman, and I want to see my minister."

That Came When the Fortunes of Both Men Were Piled on the Table?A Side Bet and a Card That Was Not Shown to the Board. The old St James hotel in Denver was one of the landmarks of the city for over a quarter of a century, and many famous sporting men were among its guests. Numerous stories are told of the "stiff" poker games that used to be played there in the late eighties and early nineties of the last century. A game was played one night between two stockmen, a banker and a mining man. The story goes that the mining man and the banker played until they were "all in," leaving the two stockmen to battle it out It came up to the "consolation" jack pot, and those who had lingered to 6ee the finish were not disappointed when they expected something spectacular to take place. The stakes were running high, the ante being $500, with no betting limit One of the stockmen opened for $2,500 and was promptly raised before the draw. Then there followed a series of raises and counter raises until the pot contained $11,600 before cards were drawn. "Gi' me that one," blandly announced the man who had "seen" the last raise. The dealer slipped one card annnta fho tnhip. laid the deck down, | relighted his neglected cigar and said unconcernedly, "I'll play these." Then the betting commenced in earnest. The player had opened, and he led off with $2,600 as a "feeler." The dealer raised a like amount and the other fellow followed suit It was plain that one or the other of the men was going to lose his ^fortune. Checks were written, torn up and made out for larger amounts, and finally mortgage papers on real estate and cattle were passed into the pot Finally one man said to the other: "Say, Henry, I'm going to stay with you until everything I've got, right down to the clothes on my back, is represented on the table. Now, I'm in doubt as to some of my property holdings. so I'll make you a proposition. Give me until tonight -(it was then 4 a. m.) to find out just where I stahd and we'll play the hand out. Meantime let us seal up my hand in one envelope, yours in another and the deadwood in still another. We'll leave the three enTToi/inoo in tha nff?r?p snfp. to be deliver ed to both of us together." The other player agreed, and envelopes and sealing wax were sent for. The hands and remaining cards in the deck were duly sealed and deposited as per arrangement. Meantime friends of the two players endeavored to get the men together on some sort of compromise proposition, knowing full well that neither could afford to bank his entire fortune on a poker hand, leaving his family destitute, but both men were obdurate and would listen to no proposition to split the pot An interested and expectant group gathered in the lobby about 8 o'clock in the evening, among them being, the man who had opened the pot They talked together in a friendly manner, speculating upon what would happen when the man who went to look up bis assets returned. While they were talking he walked in. "Well, Henry, I'm ready to resume our little argument" he announced in a matter of fact tone. Then the crowd repaired to the room where the game had been played. The man announced that he had $38,000 to "play back." Securities and certified checks representing this amount were piled on the table. Then, and not until then, did either of the men show signs of nervousness. The opener had drawn a check for $33,000 and started to tear it out of the book when the other man said in a slow, deliberate voice: "Looks a little strong for either of us, doesn't it, Henry?" . 44Well," rejoined the other man, toying with the check, "what would you consider a fair proposition at this stage of the game?" 44It's not gambling, I know," said the other, "but if you want to split the pot and"? "She's split,** calmly announced the man who had opened for $2,500. The currency, gold, checks, mortgage papers and securities were equally divided. Not a word was spoken. Silently the man who opened took up the ennnan nnd 1 q 1 rj th#> V CIUpCDj IV1V WUCUi V^VU MUV> awt. v. ? two hands on the table, faces downward. "Bet yon a cigar I had yon beat," he bantered. "You're called," said the other, turning over four cards, jacks and sixes. The orener also turned over four cards. They were Jacks and sixes. "I'll bet you," said the dealer, "a thousand dollars that I've still got you beat" The other man peeped at a corner of his burled card, toyed a moment with a stack of currency and shoved $1,000 .... .. . ? j./V' T FOR VV^ es Buggy Co. a tj r* i White Hi< day Buggy Co.

My dear, be a good man. Be virtuous, be religious ?be a good man. Nothing else will j give you any comfort when you come to lie here." Nelson in the midst of his gratefulness for having died victoriously for England thought for a flashing moment of his early record in its relation to the life after death. "Doctor," he said to the surgeon, "I have not been a great sinner." On the other hand, there are Innumerable instances in the records of biography pointing to the fact that men die without a thought of the world beyond. Charles II. died thinking of "Poor Nell." Sir Richard Grenvllle died with his mouth full of oaths, cursing the "traitors and dogs" who had. surrendered his little Revenge to the Spaniards. History is full of such instances.

And yet we go spinning through it all, like a party for the Derby." A doctor tells me that in a very long hospital experience he has never known of a sensational deathbed. The approach of death is, as n rule, doubted, and up to the last moment of consciousness the passing soul retains its conviction in the endurance of earthly things. Soldiers tell the same story. To die Jesting seems the last act of courage possible to a fighting man, and he makes the most of it. Endless are the stories of soldiers dying In action with a shout of humor on their lips. , Even more wonderful is the cold blobdedness of men going to the scaffold. To feel the edge of the ax was something of a jest in old days, and there is the story of the felon going to Tyburn who blew the froth from his last mug of beer because It always gave him indigestion! And yet it is only in brief moments that the true horror of death sweeps over the soul. We do not thfnk about it. We put it away from us. Humanity has made up its mirfd not to be frishtened.

Into the unthinkable mysteries of the universe a soul casts itself in a petulance and the waters of death close over It without a sound. What has become of that soul? Where is that consciousness gone? that personality, that Individual force which differed the man from every other who ever lived? But the mob who watch the poor drenched and bloated and horrible body wheeled away t& the mortuary turn away without any realization of death. They go to their taverns and their merchandise, take up the old greasy and well worn threads of their existence, and getting of food monopolizes all their thoughts. Fear death?
